I hope I am in the right section, if not I apologize. I have a Brother MFC 210c printer and when I print out a photo which was edited in CS4, I have a green hue over the whole photo. I have printed the same photo on a friends printer and it came out perfect, normal skin tone etc. Also when viewed on my monitor the colour is OK. It is only when I print it out.

Hope someone can help me, I would appreciate it greatly.:confused:

Are you using brother inks? What paper are you using?

You need to "soft-proof" your image before sending it to the printer. Soft-proofing uses the printer profile (for the paper you are using) and simulates what the image will look like when it is printed. During soft-proofing you can adjust the image as needed (use a separate layer) to make it look right. Here's a link from Adobe about soft-proofing with CS4:

Adobe Photoshop CS4 * About soft-proofing colors

Follow the link at the bottom of that page for more info on soft-proofing.

For best results use a fully color managed work flow and profile your monitor and your printer.

Thank you jcdill for your reply. I am using glossy kodak paper and brother ink. Thanks for the links. I have started to read about soft proofing and will start experimenting. Hopefully that is all the problem is.
