• Color management - OK to set monitor color sRGB profile?

  Is there any problem if I set my monitor color profile for sRGB and Photoshop recognizes this and I use ProPhoto RGB as my workspace in Photoshop?

  Background:

  I got a general problem with color management where my pictures looked darkest in Photoshop then my Windows Photo Viewer by default or in Adobe Bridge.

  I did some research and finally fseemed to solve the problem, but I'm not sure on any of my settings.

  I use Windows XP, and the first great help came through a panel of color that you can download from Microsoft.

  Here is the link: http://www.microsoft.com/prophoto/downloads/colorcontrol.aspx

  This utillity adds a panel color settings that you can access through the control panel. It's main characteristics are that it allows you to assign color profiles to devices, such as your monitor or printer.

  I'm using Photoshop CS4.  If you open the color settings dialogue box and look under the section workspaces, you can choose your workspace for RGB in the drop-down list. From my research, and since I'm editing photos, I concluded that choose Adobe RGB or ProPhoto RGB is a good choice.

  Also on this drop-down list, there is a choice called Monitor RGB. From my research, the opinion is that you should not set that as your RGB working space. However, a tip I've met is that if you look at the Monitor RGB choice it will tell what Photoshop is grateful as color of your monitor profile. For example, it will say 'Monitor RGB - Dell 217'

  Now, after the installation of the utility of color of Windows I am now able to define the color for my monitor profile. What I put is then recognized by Photoshop if I see it on this list.

  Specifically, in my utility of color I set my monitor to use the sRGB color space. Now when I go into Photoshop and color Setings and go dialog where you set the RGB workspace, I click the menu drop down and the list will be "Monitor RGB - sRGB IEC61966 - 2.1.»

  Note: I did not choose this as my RGB color space, I will just here to check what Photoshop is to see with regard to my color space of the monitor. I put it to my RGB color space to ProPhoto RGB.

  My monitor is a monitor de LCD Samsung 172 T.  Regarding the calibration of the monitor, I don't have access to a colorimeter device. From my research, I have found that by using the calibrator of software called Adobe Gamma is not designed to calibrate or profile LCD monitors.

  What I did: I use a graphics card based on nVidia with a control panel. The Control Panel has a display optimization tool. I used.

  Once again, my question-

  In the utility of windows color, I put my monitor color profile to sRGB. Was it the right choice?

  I have set to another profile that I have available called "Samsung 172 T."  But I do not know from which it came. Not sure if it was generated using Adobe Gamma a few years back, or the manufacturer.

  When I went to that profile my screen gets darker. Note: when I turn on in the Windows color configuration utility, then go in Photoshop, I can see in the color settings dialog box it now says "Monitor RGB - Samsung 172 T.

  I know that if I had a calibrator type colorimeter I would be able to generate an accurate profile for my monitor. In this case, you would set your monitor to this profile, rather than sRGB?

  Tom,

  Unless you have a crap monitor which is incapable of contoured with precision, never set your monitor profile to an independent color space of the device as sRGB.

  Calibrate your monitor with precision, regularly and often and use the monitor resulting as your dependent monitor of the device profile.

• Color management - Indesign with images PS calibrated?

  How to:

  In PS CMYK color space looks great with laser printer. Printer and the monitor are calibrated - so what you see is what you get - but only in PS.

  When images are imported into Indesign or or convert to PDF the colors are awful, dirty, with a cast.

  What is the best way to preserve the color when using images in different design software.

  Color space replace even if is all printed on the same laser CMYK printer.

  Any help would be great. Thank you.

  If the space of CMYK in Photoshop is correct:

  1. open the InDesign document.

  2 edit: assign profile. By CMYK, select the profile with images from Photoshop. Note: when you do this, if you have any native InDesign CMYK swatch, the color that can change their appearance, but CMYK values are kept (usually the goal sought for generations of CMYK color).

  3 window: exit: overview of separations. Images must match the color you see in Photoshop.

  4 file: export: PDF. Use a PDF / X standard (such as PDF/X-4). By production, the output intent profile should be document CMYK.

  5. open the PDF file in Acrobat. Advanced: Print: Preview the output. Images must match the color you see in Photoshop.

  EDIT: for step 1, the verification of the images, Edit profile: assign the profile in Photoshop. But just to check, do not change.

• Computer laptop loss during berthing and departure color management settings

  I am running Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 64 bit on a Dell Latitude E6540 with a docking station.  I have calibrated color screen on the laptop as well as an external monitor attached to the docking station.  Whenever I'm disconnecting the computer, the system resets the color management settings and I lose the color calibration on the screen of the laptop.  I have then go manually through Control Panel and re - apply the calibration profile to make things normal.

  I have everything set up so that the calibrated profile is the default profile for the system and I checked this is the case if the machine is docked, but he always loses calibration settings each time.  All drivers of video system are also updated and current.

  Any thoughts or ideas on how to solve this problem?

  Thanks in advance for any advice.

• "Color management" don't keep calibration on reboot

  I was recently a pretty annoying problem with the "color management" settings found in the control panel.

  The problem is very simple, yet confusing at the same time. Whenever I start my computer, the login look perfect screen, the Blues and the Greens look not at power off. I connect to my computer and everything seems fine until a few seconds after starting, a "switch" how it turns and everything gets a yellow-ish tint. In order to correct this problem I have to load the control panel and access the setting menu "color management" and press Advanced, then click on "calibrate" and then on the 'color standard of exhibition' is launched. This is where the problem becomes very weird because I don't have to go through the dialog boxes to remove the yellow tint. All I have to do the "Stallion of the color of the display" is click Cancel, which means that I won't actually through Pentecost of the calibration. But, low and behold when I press cancel everything seems perfect (just like the login screen).

  It is worth noting that I am in the classic windows theme. I am not prepared to change that because blurry transparency is more aggravating than the yellow colors. Also, I have not upgraded to xp and rather stuck with the old windows 2000 if I prefer to keep the old look.

  Now, I have installed no other color management, I don't want any other color managers, in fact I didn't know that "managers of colours" not really existed. I thought that all this was done by the monitor commands themselves... but apparently these days, there is always "an app for that."

  I am currently running windows 7 Home on an ASUS U47VC (http://www.asus.com/Notebooks_Ultrabooks/U47VC/). I connect via an HDMI cable on my monitor. I turned off the laptop screen using only the utilities Windows ('screen resolution').

  Things I've tried:
  (1) delete each color profile, that I could find.
  (2) again a "calibrated" profile and set it as default value.
  (3) "coupled my settings" what ever that is supposed to mean.

  A possible solution would obviously change the monitor color settings (which means fiddling around with the physical buttons on my monitor) to counterbalance the yellow. However, I can't do this for two reasons:

  (1) I can never get this right. I spent a lot of time trying to get it exactly, but the threshold of my monitors color settings do not work
  (2) I dual boot Linux (where no problem color monitor). So I have to redo all the settings on my screen color whenever I booted to windows. Something that is worse than clicking a few buttons

  To forestall the obvious questions:
  YES I UPDATED MY DRIVERS
  YES I UPDATED TO WINDOWS
  YES, I PRIVALGES ADMIN
  YES I RESTARTED THE COMPUTER

  Thank you in advance!

  I solved the problem!

  The solution was to create a new user account. In the new account is no longer the problem. There must be a kind of corruption of setting in the old account.

  Thank you for your help.

• My photos in Photoshop and Lightroom are showing very red, but they actually print ok, I tried to change the settings of the color management in Photoshop but it makes no difference.

  It seems that this has happened since changing to 10 Windows, although I change my laptop and it of very well, has anyone at - it had the same problem?

  I also had in the elements, but it is topped by disabling color management.

  Could be a broken monitor profile. Switch display icc profile Adobe RGB or sRGB standard if you have a normal screen space, if you have a screen wide gamut. If this is useful, it is likely that a broken profile.

  In addition, the only way to make sure you see what looks like an impression (on your screen) is to use a unit of calibration as a Culor Munki or Spyder.

• On the 2nd monitor color management

  In the file of Lightroom_3_help.pdf ("update 03/12/2010') provided with LR3 (p22 low), it is said:

  «Note: Lightroom does not color - the view from the library on the second monitor module.»

  Is this correct?

  I have two monitors: one about the Adobe RGB (a HP LP2475w) range and the other about sRGB (an old Samsung), as well calibrated and profiled.  However, if the same image is displayed in library view on both, the colors displayed on the second monitor are virtually identical to those on the first.  It's true, no matter who is the main screen of LR and that is the second monitor.  But if Lightroom isn't a not color-managed the second monitor, the image would be likely sent as ProPhoto, which seems very very pale any monitor were the other.  Even though Lightroom has made the image as sRGB always on the second monitor, then there will be a significant difference when the monitor range were the second monitor (apparently not managed).

  Anyone can shed some light on this?  My tests suggest that the second control is managed by color.

  The display is fully color managed on both screens for me. It must be

  supported the monitors thus or otherwise second would be completely useless. It's

  that is trivial to do so as long as your profiling solution supports it

  true for all Macs and most modern windows machines. To me, this looks like to the

  Manual is simply false and the s sentence a vestige of when they first

  added bi-ecrans support. I remember there being color bug

  with it, then where he could catch the wrong profile display. It comes

  clearly not true anymore.

  PS Adobe Gamma? This tool has been deprecated since many years! Person not

  in their mind has yet to use it. Material calibration tools are

  cheap and widely available today.

• Is my monitor - LCD Samsung 172 T - too Bright color manage?

  Following the generous advice of forum members, I decided to invest in a colorimeter to properly profile my monitor which is a Samsung LCD 172 T.

  However, I read several messages in the forum about monitor light problems. For example - that a monitor should be less than 120 cd/mr2 brightness level to display the appropriate image, and some saying that they cannot set their monitor LCD low light enough.

  According to the specifications of my monitor my brightness of the monitor is 250 cd/mr2.  My screen is too bright for a camera of colorimeter to profile correctly?

  For a colorimeter device I was considering the eye - one display 2 or the spyder 2 or 3.

  Hi, Tom.

  As crazy as it sounds, the manuals which came with two of my monitors absolutely NOTHING say about levels of brightness, max, or min.  I can tell you almost anything else you want to know.  My guess is that you won't have a problem.

  Normally, you enter your target settings (white gamma temp, color, monitor luminance, if your software, black and luminance) in your calibration and profiling software and the software then you guide. On most LCD monitors except the most expensive, you really only have an analog control... the brightness of the backlight. The software will ask you reduce the brightness to the desired level and gives you the information when you are there.

  Once the brightness of the monitor is together (IE, white luminance), with that software will display a bunch of spots of color values, and your colorimeter read one by one.  When it's done, he'll write corrections to your video card which will adjust to your screen to satisfy your target values and give you accurate color.  It's all part of the calibration.

  Then, it will create a profile that describes the range of colors of your screen (limits), etc. Your profile will include a color lookup table or a set of color curves appropriate in any application of color management (Photoshop, LightRoom, etc.).

  Calibration is automatically saved on your video card and should remain active until your next calibration of the monitor (make every 2-4 weeks for true colors). The profile will be in the default folder where all your ICC profiles, which differs according to the o/s.

  If you cannot reduce the luminance of a correct level, you can download a software that will do it for you.  I didn't need or use this software with one of my Samsung monitors.

• I have the HP envy window8 and monitor AOC 22 "Led. I can't get all the colors to be displayed.

  Original title: color monitor

  I have the HP envy window8 and monitor AOC 22 "Led.  I can't get all the colors on the screen. The colors are bright that I receive, but can't get the yellow, green, purple. etc. I followed in the Help menu for calibration of the colors without success by the buttons on the monitor in windows.

  Hi Ellen,.

  (a) you use HP ENVY laptop or desktop computer?

  (b) what is the model number for HP ENVY and monitor AOC?

  (c) what kind of connector do you use to connect the monitor?

  (d) have you tried to use the other cable and check if works?

  You may experience this problem if the connections between your computer and your monitor is loose or if the drivers of graphics cards is corrupted. Try these methods and check if that helps:

  Method 1: I suggest you to update the latest drivers for the graphics card for Windows 8 and check if it helps:

  http://WWW8.HP.com/in/en/support-search.HTML?tab=1#/qryterm=HP%20envy&SearchType=s-002

  Method 2: Visit the COA Web site and install the latest drivers by selecting the drivers of the AOC monitor for your model and see if it helps:

  http://www.aocindia.com/service_manual_monitor.php

  See the documentation for your monitor and see if you can find the menu to restore default settings. If the problem persists I suggest you to contact the manufacturer (AOC) for assistance.

• Photoshop - Second monitor color management

  When I use Photoshop on my laptop (windows) on the image of the screen of the laptop and its colors are just about perfect.

  

  However, when I drag the window to my second monitor Photoshop knows how to manage color at all and so my white and grey look completely yellow!

  

  
  It's very start especially when you try to design images for printing and so I was wondering if there is a way to disable the Photoshop color management and have it use the OS and default colors of monitor management games or I should say people change in preferences, I tampered with and changed all the settings and it seems to be able to adjust the color saturation and brightness but nothing gets rid of this yellowish harmonic and makes my whites white!

  Thanks for any help.

  You use Windows 7 or higher? You must run the utility of color grading on each monitor that you want to use.

• Bridge Photo Downloader AND color management problems

  Just updated to the latest OSX 10.8.2 and also updated to the latest versions of all available for CS5.5

  Now when I open the bridge there are several questions. The first being the Photo Downloader will download is actually more images. The buttons are simply inadequate. It's infuriating to say and I was not able to find advice on the matter. I use the latest versions of Camera Raw and Bridge.

  Second, bridge is changing the color of my screen profile. This has never happened before, so I guess it has something to do with a new update. I use a calibrator monitor (ColorMunki) to set the color of my screen and I am not interested in having the bridge or other products Adobe does not interfere with this it works perfectly so far. I've read everything available on Creative Suite color settings, however I don't find a way to load my monitor profile in the color settings options.

  I'm on a 15 "MacBook Pro which is less than years.

  If anyone can shed some light on the above questions, I would be really grateful. It ruined my workflow and I'm a bit at a loss for what to do.

  In the meantime, I'm curious to hear if anyone else is having the same problems with the Photo Downloader...

  Exit the bridge and go to your user library (if not visible select the Go menu and hold down the option key to reveal the user library).

  in this library from the menu 'Préférences' find and delete the file plist Photodownloader manually (com.adobe.photodownloader.plist), and then try again.

  Also check if your cable or a card reader is working properly.

• management of client and remote desktop color

  After searching on Google I found nothing relevant. Anyone has any information on the use of ps cs5 in win7 using ms rdp client for mac? What monitor profiles on both ends to get the right color? Have win7, linux, and mac computers, but because there is limited space on my desk, I use different rdp clients to connect to these computers rather than cables. 100mbit lan works fairly quickly to edit an image in ps cs5 on win7 on an amd quad core mac. But what to fix for win7 remote like monitor profile and in mac of course use mac created by basICColor profile-specific. Does it really matter has what profile win7? Don't know rdp enough, but it would be nice if the remote sends only the raw data.

  Thanks for any info

  DRC does not as far as I know color management - I think use the display for the target computer profile (that carries out the treatment, not the one displaying the result).

• When I print, the photo viewer rises and am OBLIGED to print from that program. The problem is, that it does not work - the colors are inverted and incorrect. All attempts to correct in the color management failed.

  Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

  Ideas:

  • When I print, the photo viewer rises and am OBLIGED to print from that program.  The problem is, that it does not work - the colors are inverted and incorrect.  All attempts to correct in the color management failed.  Some images are color reversed negatively. and others not when the print window picture viewer options are increasing. and every time I print a normal color on the picture he reverse out come.

• Updated last Lightroom and color management print arrived damaged

  Hi, I have a problem with printing from Lightroom 6. It seems that since the last update of Lightroom color management has corrupted. Impressions are now far the color range as they were before and as it should. I understand that all would be nice if I could go back to the version of Lightroom before the update. for example, to uninstall the update. Is it possible if yes, how?   Thank you.

  This issue should be fixed in Lightroom to today 2015.6.1 update: http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2016/07/lightroom-cc-2015-6-1-now-available.html

• I'm trying to print using my own profile and no color management.   I have found a lead to the Adobe Color Print Utility but reached a point where he declared that she would not work with future versions of the Mac operating system.   I have Mac OS 10,11,

  I have been printing PSD images with my own profiles and color management using an Epson R2880.

  I've now changed to a Mac with OO 10.11.3 and unable to replace the color management.   I found a lead on the Adobe Color printer utility but failed and got a message saying that the utility has only worked with an earlier version of the OS 10.   Is there a way to turn this problem?

  GHK

  You don't want or need to use the old setting 'No Color Management'. Is no longer the right way to print with a custom printer profile, in the current versions of Photoshop and OS X.

  To use a custom profile to print, use the attached picture settings:

  • In the print dialog box, set the Photoshop color management menu manages colors.
  • Select your profile to the printer in the printer profile menu.
  • In the settings of printer driver Epson (under Printer Setup button) make sure that the Epson printer driver is set to the color - off management.

  

  I don't know why Adobe Color Printer Utility works in 10.11.3, because I can throw on OS X 10.10 and 10.11. But in the end, it doesn't matter, because you don't want to use it for this purpose Adobe Color Printer Utility is only to print a profiling target, no images. And it won't let you print using your custom printer profile, because the whole point of the utility is to print with no discoloration whatsoever.
