I have beautiful shots I am trying to print on a HPDeskjet printer. When they print though they are all very green looking. I am using Corel PhotoPaint and Adobe Photoshop for editing and the shots are definately NOT green in my editor programs. Any suggestions on where is my problem....?

Thanks
Larinda

do you have the problem if you have the photos developed or printed some where else? I had this problem with my printer and I bought a monitor calibration device (Spyder 2) to ensure what I was seeing is in fact what I will get. Also you should check and see if your printer is overriding the color management or if your computer is default.

Well something is wrong. so lets see what we can do to find out what is wrong.

you see one color on your monitor. you see a diffrent color when you print.. is it possible that the image your looking
at is maybe too magenta ?

In other words.. the opposite of green is magenta

(color correction techniques)

do you have the wrong 'PROFILE" for your printer settings

how are you printing ? through which program ?

does the print look too green when ypu make a test print
from the wondows printer properties ?

I got lots of time. lots of experience but we have to narrow this down there ar so many places where you might have something chosen that you do not want chosen

so lets start with where are you now? (in the printing process) is problem fixed. still on going or fixed ?
