First things first you need to make sure you are working in the right one, or correct colour space. You'll need to check with your camera and check if there's and adobe RGB or sRGB settings anywhere in your menus. If your lucky and there is, then set it to adobe RGB. You don't have to worry if you haven't there is a way round this.

Next open ACR and select adobe RGB from within the space menu. You must also check and presets which you might have saved, open them and check that they all use this setting.
Okay now you'll need to bring up the colour setting in photoshop, go to edit / photoshop > colour settings and choose the north America prepress 2 setting from within the settings menu, next step under colour management policies set your RGB to convert to work on RGB, at this point you'll need to also make sure you have the lower boxes ticked, this will bring up and very useful warning if or when you open an old sRGB image or file. No need to panic if your using elements there is a setting in there. Select "Always optimize for printing" this can be find in the colour settings dialog.
