Print Studio Pro --- Photoshop Elements 2018

OldSlowHans — Wed, 22 Aug 2018 04:50:35 GMT

Just upgraded to Photoshop Elements 2018 (from Photoshop Elements 15).

When I try to install Print Studio Pro (current version V2.2.3) plugin, it does not find Elements 2018.

What am I doing wrong?

Why not ask the print studio folks?

What computer and OS?

I asked here because Print Studio Pro is a Canon software program.

Computer is a Windows 10 machine.

PSP is a fresh download from Canon.

looks like it was added in 2.2.1:

Got to digging around and found this in a README.TXT which came with PSP 2.2.3

====================================================================

Canon
Print Studio Pro Version 2.2.3 for Microsoft Windows
Instructions

====================================================================
Introduction
====================================================================

You can start Canon Print Studio Pro from following versions of
application programs.

- Adobe Photoshop CS5/CS5.1/CS6
- Adobe Photoshop CC/CC 2014/CC 2015/CC 2015.5/CC 2017
- Adobe Photoshop Elements 11/12/13/14/15
- Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3/4/5/6
- Adobe Photoshop Lightroom CC 2015
- Digital Photo Professional Ver.3.12 or later

====================================================================

So it appears that compatibility with Elements 2018 was added at 2.2.1, but removed since. What a fine kettle of fish that is!

Give Canon a call at 1-800-OK- CANON. That Readme looks out of date since it doesn’t include the current versions of Lightroom and Photoshop. I know it works with them.

"Computer is a Windows 10 machine."

You don't need it at all. PSE will do the job.

When printing to my PRO-10, PSP plug-in gives MUCH better control of the process, as compared to the facility native to PSE.

When you select print in PSE doesn't it take you to the settings menu in My Printer? All the controls are there unless I have missed something.

Macs are different but you said you have Windoze 10.

"When you select print in PSE doesn't it take you to the settings menu in My Printer? All the controls are there unless I have missed something."

Just to make sure we're on the same page in the Hymnal here.

Yes, if I select print in PSE, it takes me to a standard Windows-style "print" dialog. I could print from there to my Canon PRO-10 printer.

But I want more, and Canon provides it.

Print Studio Pro is a Canon "plug-in" which enhances the interface between PSE and my Canon PRO-10 photo printer. It provides a much richer "printer control console" with many features NOT available in the standard Windows print dialog.

Your suggestion to print directly from PSE is unresponsive to my question.

I need to determine how to install Canon Print Studio Pro as a plugin to Photoshop Elements 2018. That is the purpose of my inquiry.

Good morning Hans. I have two caveats to mention: 1. I don't know if the PSE folder structure is the same as Photoshop, and I don't know how comfortable you are working in the computer file system, but here is a solution that works with Photoshop 2018.

It doesn't take you to this screen? This is where PS takes me when I just us PS.

"I need to determine how to install Canon Print Studio Pro as a plugin to Photoshop Elements 2018. That is the purpose of my inquiry."

I understand I only wanted to show you a work around if it was not possible. There is nothing you can't do in this print box.

Yes, it takes me to that screen.

Which is "fine" for as far as it goes.

But the Canon Print Studio Pro plugin (which I've now been able to install, thanks to help from Canon OnLine Support), provides additional functionality. Here a some screen captures. I use a PRO-10, but I'm sure it will also work with your PRO-100. It's a free download from Canon.

Thanx for the tip. I have used it but I deleted it as all that can be done in LR and/or PS. I actually don't even use the Canon printer screen that I showed you. I do everything in LR and/or PS.

However glad you got what you like to use work.
