Have just updated LR to version 1.3 and have discovered some print problems. Prior to 1.3, was using 1.2 on an XP PC and had no problems creating prints that matched my calibrated monitor. Just upgraded to a new vista PC and at the same time installed LR 1.3. This required me to recalibrate my monitor, and load a vista version of my print driver (for an HP B918'). And the first (and all) prints I created had this strange color tint. My first inclination was that I was double booking color management, both within LR and the printer ... but I confirmed, the print driver is set to "application managed color", and the LR print module I select the appropriate icc profile for the paper being used. So I think I'm ok with this.
Checked the adobe LR forums and there are numerous threads talking about 1.3 and a magenta tint to prints. Believe this is what I am seeing, although most people are using MACs and the new Mac OS.
Does anyone have some guidance/opinion on this. By the way, to confirm that the problem was in LR and not somewhere else in my color management thread, I am able to print with good color fidelity using Photoshop CS3. Believe this validates that vista printer driver for the B918' and the calibrated monitor are ok.
Would appreciate any thoughts/recommendations/ideas. Thanks.
