This is something I have not come up with before.  I have 4 photos which I've put into one psd file as a collage.  On the screen, all colors look fine. in all 4 photos of the collage  However when I print the collage,  2 of the 4 photos print with very different colors, even though on the monitor they all look perfect.  It should be noted that if I print the ones that look incorrect from the original file, again they print abnormally even though on the screen they look fine.  What am I missing here?  Thanks.

    I tried "Let Printer" and it worked much better so for the moment that's what I'll do though I don't understand why "Let Photoshop" has always worked well until now with this particular photo.

    A lot has happened in MacOS since 2011. I seem to remember some issues in printing a while ago, caused by changes in MacOS. The old profile might not work so well anymore. This wouldn't affect "Let Printer Manage Color".

    MacOS differs from Windows in that color management and profile handling is called by the application, but executed by the OS. That's why OS changes can have an impact on these things. In Windows it's all handled by the application and this sort of thing doesn't happen.

    Something I just noticed!  When I go into Customize Proof Condition under View, Proof Setup, Custom, IF I check the box that says Preserve RGB #s, what I see on the screen IS the blue version that gets printed!  What does this mean?

    Try "Let Printer Determine Color" instead "Use Photoshop to Determine Color" in the Print Driver.  It could be the driver is misinterpreting or cannot convert certain color percentages.  Just a thought.  You could also experiement with different variations in "Rendering Intent" ( i.e., Perceptual ) in your Color Settings.  Another option would be using a different RGB ( i.e., ProPHOTO ) and print test image files to determine the best setup for that given image.  And, you could adjust curves in trouble areas, but shouldn't have to.

    As far as I can tell, the printer only comes with drivers and the Canon website doesn't list profiles for this printer.

    I've tried to find an official Canon profile on line for this printer (Pixma MG5220) but don't see them anywhere on the Canon website.  Do you know where I can get them?

    No idea. Profiles are normally installed as part of the driver package. You don't have any Canon profiles installed?

    Here are screen shots of the printer screen, first for the one that prints correctly, second for the one that prints blue.  I use the same profile that I spent money on years ago to have professionally done for the Canon Mg5220 on photo+paper which is what I'm using.

    Well, then that profile isn't working particularly well. The very first thing I'd do here, is try the Canon profile for that paper. Or it could be that the driver needs updating, so download a new driver with new Canon profiles.

    I really don't understand why you insist that some of these print OK. I see exactly the same problem in all of them - it's just that some color ranges are more heavily affected than others, particularly the cyanish green to blue range. Here there is not only a shift towards blue, but also massive oversaturation.

    Some of these images have a higher proportion of just those colors that are most affected. That's all.

    Hello, Sebastia, how are you doing?

    I consider myself a Young Padawan in color management, so always progress with baby steps; we will see if we can fix the problem...

    Actually the color profile in the original document doesn't matter. Whatever it is, it will be converted into the print profile.

    To me this looks more like the wrong print profile is used. It just has more impact on some colors than others. What I see here is a general green > blue color shift with some additional "runaway" oversaturation.

    CAN you check in Bridge the color profiles of each file? To me, it looks like the bad ones use Adobe RGB, while the others use a different profile (the star after 16) in their document tab.

    Here is a good one on monitor:

    And here it is printed looking pretty good:

    Now here's the bad one on the screen:

    And here is the lousy print of it:

    In each case I'm letting PS handle colors with same printer profile

    Hello, can You post a screenshot of photoshop’s interface when you have one of the faulty images open. Check also its color profile, and compare if to the one of those that work ok.
