• D700 files shooting in Adobe RGB color space

  I can open my D700 files in Lightroom 4.4 only if it were shot in space color sRGB.  Lightroom does not recognize them if they were shot with the help of Adobe RGB color space.  Is there some update or connect to lightroom that will allow me to open these?  (I downloaded the last 4.4 Lightroom)

  The V1 version of Nikon Transfer is known to cause problems with new camera ships is it surprising that the versions V1, other Nikon software also has problems.

  Irrelevant, other than being a curiosity, is why Adobe RGB is causing a problem when it is not sRGB, but is not something Lightroom is different, this is something the former Nikon software differently for the raw files of the new camera models, change something in the data when the Adobe RGB color space is specified and making them unreadable to Adobe , but not changing is not the same when they are slaughtered in space sRGB color.  Without an analysis of low level file byte-by-byte you probably intend to be able to understand what the Nikon software, but at least you know what it takes to make things work.

  If you have still something that Lightroom has something to do with the origin of the problem, and then copy a sRGB NAVE and a NAVE of RGB Adobe directly from your camera to your computer and without touching either with the Nikon software and make sure that both are important in LR without problem.

  Software from the manufacturer of the device usually does not include another manufacturer raw files because is one of the tasks of the manufacturer of the device software to make the raw JPG in exactly in the same way as the camera and that rendering is exclusive and cannot be known by outside entities.  Software of Canon DPP does not work with Nikon ships, either.  Software of a third party, such as Adobe Lightroom, must be able to work with raw files from various manufacturers for anyone paying attention, but at the price which is specific to a manufacturer like you don't see focus for your ships in Lightroom, but I guess that you can in the NX software which is produced or at least licensed by Nikon.

• For the printing of P.O.D.: how to set the Adobe RGB color space

  Hello and thank you in advance,

  (I use InDesign CS 5.5 on a Mac).

  I need set the appropriate PDF export settings

  To print a book on demand, with color drawings inside on the text pages.

  The instructions in Mandarin that I could find, say this:

  'Submit your graphics in color space Adobe RGB, integrated withprofile.'

  The big Question: how should I do that?

  I know enough to start with

  File-> Adobe PDF Presets-> print quality

  Then I click on the Menu 'output '.

  and this is where I start to get lost.

  for

  Color conversion...

  I think I should choose "convert to the Destination.

  for

  Destination

  I think it should be "Adobe RGB (1998).

  Now to incorporate this profile.

  What should I choose in virtue:

  Profile Inclusion policy?

  And is there anything else I should do to get these inside good printing color images?

  Thanks again,

  IthacaAuthor (aka ZorbaTheGeek, but the forum wouldn't let me connect with my old screen name)

  Virtually all digital printing is done via PostScript or PDF. In the first case, the PDF file is converted to use viat PostScript to Acrobat and in the latter case, the PDF file is sent directly to the digital printer.

  In both cases, CMYK is actually the real destination color space. There is no true RGB printer! What is true is that non-PostScript / non PDF (laser printers generally low range and inkjet printers as well as specialized sublimation photo printers inkjet and dye) take RGB via drivers and that convert to CMYK, but I don't think that's what you deal with.

  Our recommendation to Adobe for best printing results, whether for offset or digital, is to export PDF into PDF/X-4 with no color conversion using the default color CMYK (CMYK SWOP) space or if the contrary view of your print service provider, among other CMYK color spaces provided by Adobe or the print service provider themselves. FWIW, more peripheral to digital print on demand, have settings to fully emulate the SWOP CMYK printing requirements. The use of PDF/X-4 in this way allows the existing color in your document InDesign is properly tag in the output PDF file and converted to CMYK RIP the device level digital printing.

  (It may also help us if you can provide a pointer to the explicit instructions provided by your print service provider.)

• By default Adobe color management print affecting RGB to pages B & w and color printing costs

  Adobe Print of default color management seems to be assigning RGB meta pages n & B and cost of printing color for prints n & B.

  I can manually change the color management for printing printer managed on a basis by printing instead of the default adobe color managed

  who "heals" issue, but I don't seem to be able to save this default setting. Has anyone seen and corrected this problem?

  If you want B & W prints, you must use a profile of color B & W. Adobe apps can do know anything about unless you tell them. Just because it seems gray does not mean it is gray on the technical level. You must read on color management. There is nothing wrong with the PS, you're simply using options and incorrect settings.

• Preview color management issue - glued assigned Adobe RGB image

  I often web elements page layout in InDesign that my composition tool, then copy and paste in Photoshop as a smart object to then generate optimized web images. It's just easier to use photoshop. Problem, it is in the latest versions of Adobe have clogged the engine of anti-aliasing and now when rasterising a PDF file or paste a picture also as a chip oppose any portion of the image of this asset is smoother. You don't really notice that if the image of origin placed in InDesign is say double or more this resolution of the web version of final product, the scale hides the issue. But if they are closer to really see faceting full size occurs. Long story... anyway, I decided to study the implementation overview of Apple as a gateway for the rasterising instead of photoshop. He did a good job on glued assets resampling, but on this point saving and checking in Photoshop, I note that Preview assigned Adobe RGB profile to the processed image. Even if I opened the InDesign PDF and export as image in my size. My color workflow is sRGB. InDesign and Photoshop are two parameters in this way, the image placed in InDesign also has sRGB profile, the PDF has sRGB profile. If I copy / paste between InDesign and Photoshop, they are both aware glued Trump space and warn me if different from that of the target document. I have no idea where Preview becomes Adobe RGB, I don't see its place in the app to change that as a preference, and in any case, it seems very strange to be a defect when most of the people would not use them.

  In the preview, click on the tools bar menu point and scroll to the bottom of the drop-down list to assign the profile

  the next submenu you can click on and select sRGB at the bottom of this list. To save this profile to your image,

  do a "save under" (click on file, press the option/alt key Save As should appear). You can also test under the view menu bar item.

  

• I want to change a piece of Brown fabric in an image to a mole (with specific RGB color numbers) and would it be this color specific Mole without interference from the brunette... Is this possible?

  I want to change the color of a border of cotton on a carpet sample image that is initially Brown. I need to be able to maintain the texture of cotton while being able to compose "specific" RGB color numbers Curious to know if this is possible? I can eyeball of the color and change it using "hue/saturation" but want to be able to use certain RGB numbers.

  Hi Madison,

  Exactly why do you want this fine control of color? The edges of the carpet are not the same as a logo or a piece of the judgment, its will always be carried out by the way light interacts with fibers and cause color variation. What you ask is, however, possible, but not with the RGB color space. If you want precise control of color, you must work with Lab and adjust one, b channels with curves after entering specific pantone values for the edge of the carpet. Even while Photoshop is on the single application around to support the Lab color space, you'll need at some point return to RGB and use Adobe RGB or sRGB to output and as soon as you do that your likely to get a change of color as these spaces are smaller than Lab leading to clipping. Out of curiosity, I played a bit with an image of a carpet and had no trouble get the shades I wanted. You need a mask that is easy and a layer of hue saturation adjustment with redefine enabled. By varying the hue, saturation, luminance and layer opacity virtually any color is possible. I suspect you want absolute solution, but perhaps this chart will give you an idea of what can be done if you like carpet resembling the flower beds

• different hue or tint between Adobe and Adobe PS color

  I use an Apple iMac that is calibrated using Datacolor Spyder 3. I have a client using a PC that has been calibrated using the same Datacolor Spyder 3. I photograph a product that is color critical for them. Using Adobe Color CC the licensee identified the closest color of their product.

  We all have two copies of the same product.

  With the help of Adobe Color CC I've identified the code HEX F2FA63. I then go to PS CC and select the code for the brush, but the resulting hue is different when I place them side by side on my screen. The color in PS CC has a tinge of light green compared to a yellow on colour Adobe CC.

  I used my screen calibration color profile, RGB and sRGB colour spaces, but the effect is the same.

  I need to believe that the color, the customer sees is the same than the one I see on identically calibrated screens.

  Am I missing something?

  Steve,

  Color Adobe does not support color (Web app, or iOS app) management.  Photoshop, however, supports color management.  So the difference you see is due to the fact that PS is the color management and the web application is not.

  I suggest that you have your client identify the color using Photoshop.

• Profiling evidence broken with Adobe RGB 1998 color images

  I recently discovered a problem with Photoshop CS6 on my Windows 7 system. When you perform the proofing with "Proof colors" selected on the Adobe RGB 1998 color profile images there is loss of Red saturation. When checking the ProPhoto RGB, Colormatch RGB, and sRGB image files there is no difference with the same profile selected in the Conditions of proof options settings. This only happens with images Adobe RGB 1998. I even tried ProPhoto RGB, Adobe RGB images conversion to be sure that it is not a problem with the file. Problem with the Adobe RGB files.

  I just tried my PS 32-bit installationn and does NOT have this problem, just the 64-bit version.

• Adobe RGB 1998 Workspace vs Image with embedded sRGB profile

  I worked through countless published on the Web about various aspects of the profile settings of colors from all different angles. Obviously a difficult topic depending on how much you must understand.  For now, I have a question of several party who I would appreciate any feedback on of those in the know.  I'll try to summarize it briefly - it is simply in the default RGB color space setting in CS6 against opening an image that has a different embedded color profile.

  Question

  (1) is it interesting 'potential' to work in color space Adobe RGB 1998 if I open an image with an embedded sRGB profile and "preserve embedded profile?  I realize that any potential benefit could depend on the range of colors in the image itself - that is, where an image with color dull or limited range could not affected by any color profile or workspace is applicable.

  (2) if my color default RGB in CS6 space is Adobe RGB 1998 and I open an image with an embedded sRGB profile, can I convert to Adobe RGB to take advantage of the widest range when working with the image.

  (3) if I don't need to convert an Adobe RGB sRGB image to enjoy the widest range when changes but must register the image with an sRGB profile for purposes of production (out of print or Web presentation service):

  3.1 should I make a copy of the image final and Convert to sRGB or I can just save as Jpeg and select sRGB for the profile to be integrated?

  3.2 irrespective of how I save the final image with an sRGB profile, I would lose some advantage I might have seen while working in the Adobe RGB workspace?

  I am not questioning if there is a good reason to work in sRGB vs. Adobe RGB (or ProPhoto) or under what circumstances it can matter - just trying to figure out a couple of mechanics I would work in Adobe RGB, but have a lot of things (slide previous scans etc.) than sRGB or some other built-in profile.

  Also not to query the best camera settings as I am completely convinced the only way to go is to capture in RAW if the goal is a flexibility to work with the picture (I'm still shooting Fujifilm Provia 100F in my Nikon F6 but eventually will go with a good FX digital SLR when I can rotate - point being that all of the images that I work with is roughly slides scanned on my Nikon Super) COOLSCAN 5000 ED Scanner).

  I understand that it is a topical subject (sRGB vs RGB etc.) and not trying to stimulate a wide debate on the issues.

  Thanks for any thoughts you may have on this topic.

  p.s. Here is a comparison of an image of the test case of 14 CS6 Adobe class-in-a-book.  "Rev00" on the left is the original image to sRGB included with the tutorial; "Rev01' on the right is the picture where I have first of all"affected"the Adobe RGB profile, and then (through ignorance, maybe, converted - profile Adobe RGB). I did that because I noticed that I simply convert RGB perceptual colors remain the same, so that if I have 'assign' RGB profile, I certainly get a slight pop at this image - may not be noticeable in this screenshot, but I can definitely see an improvement that I love watching them side by side on my Apple LED Cinema display 27 ".

  

  That is right. If the file has embedded sRGB, Adobe RGB workspace is unnecessary and irrelevant. He never comes into play.

  You can, however, convert the file in Adobe RGB if you plan to make a big change on that, and you think you might need the extra margin of a larger color space.

  If you assign a profile (for an untagged document), there is not need to convert to the same.

  What are the settings of your printer wants? Some may deal with sRGB some want Adobe RGB Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-k in Photoshop, then choose North Amercian prepress 2

  He'll take care of the tags for you, or if sRGB is important, Norh American General Purpose 2.

  Here is a summary of the settings PDF and their meaning:

  When you are ready to create a PDF file from an application such as Illustrator or InDesign Adobe, we give you a list of the predefined PDF settings from which to choose. Well how do you decide which is the right choice? Well, let me explain what they do.

  Let's start with the smallest file size and the name of the type of the story. It is compatible with Acrobat 6, which means that anyone who has Reader or Acrobat 6 or above will be able to open the file. Now it converts everything in sRGB color which is a common space for color monitor.

  All RGB is truncated to sRGB, CMYK and spot colors also. So that means if you have a job to print, you can see some color shifts in this outgoing PDF. You must decide whether it is acceptable. He can't stand live transparency, not flattened. It downsize image content to 100 pixels per inch and this is part of how she made a reduced file size. It also uses aggressive JPEG compression of poor quality on the content of the image. So, you can see some of these rectangular JPEG artifacts.

  But it is how it gives you a reduced file size, and results are appropriate to be posted online or attached to an email.

  High quality printing has compatibility with Acrobat 5 and above. There is no color conversion. RGB RGB stays, rest spot, stays of CMYK CMYK spot and it supports live, not flattened transparency. It does not perform some downsampling to 300 pixels per inch. So, for example, if you placed an image which was 300 ppi and then set to scale up to 50 percent there actually a res then 600 pixels per inch.

  Well, this process would take half out these pixels. Therefore, it can create larger files but that makes it suitable for in the House of printing or sending Let's say a remote office if they want to print we tell cells leaves, or brochures, or something like. It's beautiful out on an internal printer.

  Print quality and high quality printing have similar names, so this may be a bit confusing, but print quality has compatibility with Acrobat 5 or higher. It converts the content of RGB to CMYK destination values according to what you specify as the destination.

  It is usually SWOP, S-W-O-p. It supports live, not flattened transparency. It performs the subsampling bicubic to 300 pixels per inch and because that it keeps at least 300 pixels per inch, which means that it can create some large files, but it is suitable for professional printing.

  Then we start to get into the presets named 'X '. 'X' is now for Exchange. They agree on specifications and the idea is to have a set of specifications if a PDF file is compliant to these specifications, we know it's going to be printable.

  We know that imaging devices are going to treat them properly. So this goes back to 2001, and which can seem a bit old, but bear with me. PDF/X-1 has a compatibility with Acrobat 4. I know, it sounds old. It converts RGB to CMYK content, it keeps the content of good tones. It flattens transparency. Downsize it at 300 pixels per inch. It can large enough crat files if you have large size images in your project and that it is suitable for professional printing.

  The idea behind X-1 is if you send a PDF file to an unknown printer, you do not know what are their capabilities, you send abroad, it will be able to be photographed on any device. No matter the age, it is, they can print. Over the years, the concepts of Exchange became more sophisticated the workflow and devices become more sophisticated.

  SP PDF / X-3: 2002, remains compatible with Acrobat 4 and that means that it flattens transparency, but it does not perform any color conversion.

  This means that it maintains RGB content, place remains in place, rest of CMYK CMYK. He still performed bicubic downsampling at 300 pixels per inch, and therefore, it can create large files. But this is suitable for commercial printing, if the printer signals you that it is present RGB content is correct.

  PDF / X-4: 2008 is compatible with Acrobat 7 and later. See, we're getting more modern. No color conversion. RGB RGB stays, stays CMYK CMYK, spot rest spot and it supports live, not flattened transparency.

  He still performs bicubic downsampling. Therefore, it can create large files because it maintains the pieces of the image to 300 pixels per inch or higher and it is suitable for commercial printing, as long as the printer tells you that RGB content is not serious and dynamic transparency is acceptable. Some older workflow does not support dynamic transparency, or they treat well, and that's why always ask. It is a special case in Illustrator, something called default Illustrator. Its compatibility is Acrobat 6 or higher.

  It does not perform the color conversion, everything continues like this. It supports transparency live, not flattened, and it also contains the original, editable Illustrator file in the PDF file. It preserves layers and it may be return, can be reopened safely in Illustrator and it's really the only PDF format you can do with safely. But it can create larger files, because you sort of two files for the price of one, they sometimes get huge.

  So what predefined PDF is Right For You? Well, if you want to send for printing, the first thing you should do is to ask your printer how they want the created PDF.

  They should be able to give you the plug for the creation of the PDF file. They may be able to give you job options files you can simply import and use as your preset target. But if it's a stranger the printer or the printer for some reason any said, well, I don't know, just make a PDF and this happens, well, choose the lowest common denominator to the PDF/X-1 test. Anyone can image that. If it is a more modern printer and up to date, especially if you send it to someone who uses digital presses, PDF/X-4 should be safe.

  I always go back to point one, ask the printer. If you send it as an attachment or you're going to post online, well, smaller size of file is a pretty clear choice. But remember this, you can start with one of these predefined parameters, and you can always edit it to customize your specific needs. So get to know the presets, understand the destiny of the PDF you create, and then make the best PDF that you can.

• Does make any sense to use Adobe RGB to process a photo taken in sRGB?

  On the one hand, it seems that color for any photo post-processing would be limited to information of color captured by the sensor.  You cannot work with information that isn't here.  For example, if the camera were to sRGB, sRGB information don't that would capture all the sensor.  Post processing in a larger color space like Adobe RGB, would be foolish.  On the other hand, I suppose it is possible that PS, during any process of development of color, could present me with ARGB options (i.e., options a wider color space) and map of smaller space (sRGB) to the largest (ARGB).

  As far as I know, most DSLRs offer sRGB or ARGB option.  However, I know there are those who value their color space ProPhoto in PS; so, there may be a post processing value in a color space that is larger than the space used by the camera to capture color information.   In case it is not obvious, I'm confused.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.

  If you capture images JPEG in sRGB then files are limited to smaller color space and cannot be extended to a larger range such as Adobe 1998 or ProPhoto color space.  If your RAW capture files then it's not what your profile settings of cameras are because the Raw files are just text information of your sensor which has not been made to the pixels even serious.  It's an essential difference.  If you open a RAW file in ACR you can render pixels in any color space.

• Publication of a pdf document, Adobe RGB-v-sRGB is a problem?

  Hi people,

  I use InDesign CS5 to produce a Yearbook photo to our photo club. The printer asked me to provide the subject done in PDF format.

  I need to know, what the properties of color (Adobe RGB / sRGB) of an original image have an impact on the final result?

  I ask because the images will be provided from a variety of sources and will probably in all kinds of formats/color, spaces etc..

  If I need to convert all to one or the other, what I need to do this as a batch process in Photoshop or is possible in InDesign?

  I know my way around image editors, but this edition is all new to me. Any advice greatly received.

  See you soon,.

  Eugene.

  Ask the printer what PDF preset, he would like to be able to use in InDesign.

  There are several print streams: some printers have no difficulty with a PDF file with RGB images with embedded profiles. They tend to have more recent material. Commercial printers may be useful to use the preset PDF/X-4, which would preserve RGB profiles in your project. In general, which would produce the best result. (For example, a lot of progressive printers use Adobe PDF engine rocks for which this is true).

  Other commercial printers have older CPUs of PostScript. They want to convert RGB to CMYK and flatten transparency. He may ask you to use the PDF/X-1 profile. That will do the conversion for you and throw the RGB profiles.

  Best answer: get more information from the printer.

• Should I set up my Dell 3008 in Adobe RGB monitor mode when calibrating it with i1 Display?

  Hello

  Should I set up my Dell 3008 in Adobe RGB monitor mode when calibrating it with i1 Display?

  Thank you

  Thomas

  It depends entirely on what application you use to view the file. That's the key. Without - a complete remapping in the monitor profile - color management is displayed correctly. Yet once, IE is useless and you can just forget about it. Use Firefox with color management mode 1.

  With a standard range screen you out without color succeed because the monitor is pretty close to sRGB it will be roughly right, as long as the file has number of sRGB. That's why sRGB became the standard of the internet.

  But if you have a string of color management complete the source profile may be what you want and the monitor can be standard or wide or whatever it is between the two and it will display properly without worrying. That's the whole point of the color management - a color space (the file) be remapped in the other (the monitor).

• PS 7 Why does not Adobe RGB files?

  I have an Olympus E-620 DSLR. When I put the color space in the camera into sRGB, after downloading the images, when I click to open in Photoshop 7, the images are correctly identified as sRGB files. When I put in the camera to Adobe RGB color space, Photoshop does not recognize the format. Please see the picture below.

  Question 1: Why does Photoshop not recognize Adobe RGB files?

  Question 2: What can I do to make Photoshop recognizes the Adobe RGB files?

  Question 3: If I assign the Adobe RGB profile in Photoshop to Adobe RGB file unrecognized, that even make any sense? Are 'additional data' Adobe RGB offers compared to sRB there again even if the profile is not recognized in the first place?

  I am very grateful for all the comments and tips!

  

  Assuming these are JPEG images, JPEG format use integrated EXIF metadata to indicate that the files are sRGB. In the EXIF specification, there are only two possible in the metadata, either sRGB or unspecified flags. He doesn't are not of type ICC profiles full files, just tags. When a camera is set to Adobe RGB, it cannot set the Adobe RGB color space in the EXIF metadata. The camera makers have circumvented this limitation is often include underscore in the beginning of the name such as _IMG12345, JPG. Photoshop 7, which is very old, does not understand the importance of underscore in regards to an indication of the different RGB color space. Currently versions do... might be time for an update eh?

  And, as Chris said, you need to avoid warning of profile and assign Adobe RGB images.
