Confusion of color profile

• How to incorporate the color profile?

  I read the link of color management which concerns color ICC profiles, but I'm still a little confused.  I wanted to prepare my Photoshop document for the download of clean room to print a canvas.

  1. I installed the ICC color profile in my library > ColorSync > folder profiles

  2. I have tested I went to the test format to see to see what she looked like.  Seemed fine.

  I want to save the file in jpeg format with this color profile for them to print... in other words, I wanted to incorporate the color profile.  At least that's how I understood what I should do next. However, I can not understand how do.  I went to file > save as > and choose jpeg but sRGB IEC61966 - 2.1 profile is checked.  When I uncheck, I cannot select another color profile.

  Abandon this idea, I thought I would try another way to incorporate the color profile, so much so I thought I should go in Edition > assign profile but it won't show the cleanroom color profile from the drop-down list.

  How to integrate the ICC color profile in this file so that I can upload it to White Hall for printing?  I would really appreciate the help!

  Thank you!

  "Abandon this idea, I thought I would try another way to incorporate the color profile, so so I thought I should go in Edition > assign profile but it won't show the cleanroom color profile from the drop-down list."

  Edition > assign profile is the correct procedure to incorporate a specific profile.  The reason why you can't find "White Hall color profile" in the menu drop-down is because it is a profile of the printer.  There are two profiles involved: 1) profile picture to color mode (usually applied in Photoshop, InDesign, and Illustrator applications); (and 2.) printer profiles (the profiles are created when the print provider calibrated their printer on a special paper, vinyl, or vellum support.)

  It seems that your print provider has asked users incorporate an sRGB color profile that can be done easily in any application you happen to use to create your particular file.  They will then print your profile incorporated using their printer driver or RIP file to process and print your file using their 'color of the White Hall profile' in their process of RIP and Print.

• How to set the correct color profile

  From the outset: I am not an expert in this area...

  When you look at on the Internet on the management of color, color profiles, I often get a lot of text and generally intended to the "experts."

  Actually I am not so interested in all the technical details. I'm looking for rather a simple statement about how 'set' a default color profile.

  I don't know how my .icc profiles to select from...

  Material:

  Printer: Epson WorkForce Pro WF-5620 (with its color profiles)

  Monitor: HP DreamColor Z27x

  Photoshop CS6

  Windows 10 x 64

  At the launch of my pc, the monitor shows that it is set to AdobeRGB.

  Questions:

  (1) when I browse using Windows Explorer simple .png files (png with no EXIF data files, say, screenshots, or images on the Internet) and drag them in Photoshop, they are much darker and I need to make an adjustment. Which shows the Windows Explorer is about right, in Photoshop, they are much too dark.

  (2) when, after having created a PSD in Photoshop and everything seems correct, print results are bad, they are too light and I need to try to waste his time with profiles or almost to try to do things.

  Below some screenshots:

  Anyone could pleasssee... to help and give me some advice on how to implement?

  i.e. the profiles to choose where so the results on the screen are the same as that of the print.

  again, I am not an expert and I do not wish to become a :-)

  There are so many profiles to select from, I don't know...

  Thank you!

  Mylenium says:

  Simple answer: none of this is important if your system is not actually calibrated. You can set the default factory profiles all day and wear yourself out, and they will always be wrong.

  Bit of a negative attitude, wouldn't you say?

  It is not as complicated as many will have it. You think, always, in terms of source and a destination profile. You still need two profiles, and each should be a precise description of the color space that it represents.

  So, what is your source? This is your file. Fine. Adobe RGB, do, don't mess with it. Do not confuse the profile document and monitor! You need both.

  Then you have two destinations, the monitor and the printer. Each profile a detailed description. The monitor profile is implemented at the level of the system (or your Stallion will do), and Photoshop will find and use it to display the image. Again, it is a source of right > conversion of destination. Once the monitor profile is set up, no further user intervention is required.

  Then, the printer. Here you have different profiles for different media, and there is no default. You must choose the correct profile for the paper that you are using in the Photoshop print dialog box. Here you will need to also make sure that Photoshop manages colors, and then you must go to the printer driver and make sure that the printer color management is turned off. Choose the right paper here, since it controls the total amount of ink.

  That's all. If all profiles are present and correct, display and printing should now match. If you want to go further, you can set your monitor calibration target so they correspond to the document that you print on - IOW put the point of the white screen then that it is a Visual match to the white of the paper and monitor black so it corresponds to the density of the ink max for the paper.

• What is the disadvantage of savings WITHOUT color profile for the web?

  I have discussed this issue in another thread and a clear argument against saving jpg files * without * a color profile must be performed.

  I'm very annoyed with how much more red and saturated, all my jpg files appear in IE (which does not read the sRGB embedded profile) compared to FF (which is the case).

  I tried to save the image even with the inclusion of unchecked color profile, and of course, IE and FF are showing the same image.

  It seems to me that including color profiles with jpg are just an invitation for different browsers interpret the image differently.

  Why not just save them all, WITHOUT color profiles?

  The downside to this, what exactly?

  True, without color managed programs and management the colors may not display an image in the same way. Except in the situation where the color profile describing the color of the image or the color values of an image without a color profile, by an extraordinary chance match the display capabilities of color of the device used by the program managed without colors.

  One of the problems that the addresses of color management is that all monitors will display the same color differently. Color management will make colors appear the same or as close as possible.

  A color managed program will send the RGB values of the color of the video card corrected to compensate for the differences between how your monitor displays color values and how they are perceived.

  For example, to help my Monitor wide gamut, when I create an image in Photoshop, with a red color pure R = 255, G = 0 and B = 0 and then do a screen capture, I can check how Photoshop sends these values to the video card. The result is R = 222, G = 65, B = 0 when I'm simulating an ideal sRGB display. So I can see how my colors appear on the screens of ideal sRGB. However, in reality, it is very likely to have a monitor displaying space sRGB color ideal without a color management, so to complete the color management chain, the other monitors that display my image must also have the appropriate color management to compensate for the differences in screen and display correctly RGB numbers representing the color that I see on my screen.

  mjyeager wrote:

  Who will most likely be a bad smell, which means not repoducing the expected color which is always the case with the browsers managed without colors.

  ... Now, let's say this image - which looks the same in both browsers - is too hot. I can load it in Photoshop, change its hue and re-save is more what I'm looking for. The resulting image will then out - in the two browsers identically - the way I want to...

  Yes, the image will be the same in both browsers on your and any other monitor but the colors that you create (edit) will examine the way which only see you them on your monitor.

  mjyeager wrote:

  ... It's true. I have no control over that. However, how including the color profile sRGB with the JPG would give me more control over these things I would not include? Unless you had to tell me that browsers arbitrarily apply a random color profile when in the absence of one, I am simply not understand how including the color with the JPG profile performs one another act that ensure that the picture is completely different in FF it does in Internet Explorer.

  You who are absolutely wrong. Color management is not to have any control over how other devices are setup, calibrated, etc.. As I said earlier make sure you communicate the colors scheduled correctly or as close as possible, as long as you and the destination use the proper color management. This means that the embedded profile FF will display correctly the planned colors while IE will not. If you do not include a color profile with your image both FF and IE will not display correctly the planned colors but they will be equal in that.

  mjyeager wrote:

  ... I understand the need for color profiles to print. In fact, my printer insists on the details when it comes to color profiles.

  But for the web? I'm still not understand where the downside is to omit the color profile. It's not like the browsers get CONFUSED when it is not included. Or that the colors will start randomly from refreshing one page to another.

  I am really trying to understand what you are saying here, but still haven't.

  In addition to what Marian said:

  If you create the colors using an sRGB display ideal (given the color management on your system works properly, it can be simulated by color of Photoshop on your range management widescreen when you assign the profile sRGB color to the image) and then on any ideal sRGB display, it will look the same you see on your screen regardless if it's with or without embedded sRGB color profile. However, in reality, it is unlikely to have a monitor, sRGB, display of the ideal space of sRGB color without color management. Now what does this mean in practice? Assume that users interested in, using the IE managed without colors on a PC with the Windows default color management. In other words, color management programs are told by the system monitor displays the ideal sRGB space, which is very likely to be the truth. Then users with this configuration with sRGB monitors will not see a difference between IE and FF when viewing your image with or without sRGB profile, the colors are not very likely to be the same that you see on the screen, but with the difference that is more likely to be accepted depending on how close to the ideal color space sRGB these monitors are. If some of these users with this configuration have wide range monitors, then the image will always be the same with or without sRGB profile, but with a very unacceptable difference of how you see it on your space to sRGB sumulated - strongly supersaturated.

  For users that have the color correctly managed systems, when the image is saved with a sRGB profile, it appears color managed programs such as FF the same or as close as possible to the way in which you can see on your monitor. Programs run without colors the case remains the same as that described above.

  A little history on how standard sRGB was created. It is a standard, including more things, but above all defining an abstract color space. It was created sometime after that the market was already flooded with computer monitors, and the creation of ideal sRGB color space was based on an average PC monitor display capabilities over time. After that the manufacturers used this standard sRGB as a target to create monitors.

  UN-color of programs run on PC have been created and tested using sRGB monitors so that they can't be considered reliable for showing intended to display colors if the images they use have been created using an sRGB they will be in the stadium of this range of sRGB.

• Use of on Satellite U300 ICM color profiles

  I've got U - 300 Satellite + Win XP. I use specially generated IMAGE color profile to my screen using Spider. I downloaded this addon rom Web sites allowing me to use the product. ICM file and it works.

  However, I have to turn it on whenever my computer is restarted because graphics cards drivers not support color profiles and after each reboot, the colors are back, which are defined in the graphics drivers.

  Is there a way to define this profile once and for all, so I don't have to go to the control panel whenever I turn on my machine? Thanks for help.

  Personally I t have experience using these profiles of ice color, but I found this Microsoft page.
  http://www.Microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/digitalphotography/ProPhoto/ColorControl.mspx

  http://www.Microsoft.com/whdc/device/display/color/default.mspx

  But perhaps entirely graphic driver doesn t support this profiles of ice and, therefore, you have always change it in the control panel.
  Perhaps an update of the graphics card driver could help. But this is only a suggestion.

• Profiles color profile even when set as default keep switching - G570

  I recently had to calibrate the monitor G570. The default profile for Lenovo is too blue, and office work is not necessarily a problem. However, it is a question when drawing and illustration.

  For example, the image embedded in this thread http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=232287

  Shows someone having problems with color management because the profile of Samsung is too yellow, and appears again in their whites (IE in the palette layers, OS etc...)

  If you look through the default calibration for Lenovo Thinkpad, your monitor is too blue to make the difference between shades. I've calibrated with a Spyder Express mine.

  Now on the problem. Even if I have it on by default to be responsible in managing colors in Windows 7, it seems to keep glitter works between the default that comes with Lenovo laptops and the profile calibrated with Spyder express.

  Even in the settings advanced color management and by setting the default profile icm Spyder, I always get the flicker when it comes out of sleep/monitor out etc.

  Is there a way to keep it constantly?

  The link I provided before is the solution.

  If you have a color profile for the color management, you must disable igfxpers.exe to dominate.

  I've disabled in Start Services and completed the process in the Task Manager. My monitor now the profile that I have calibrated.

  It is a problem with the Intel software and not of Lenovo.

• Disconnect the color profile of Pro - 100

  For several years now, I've read about disabeling the printer color profiles to store photo profiles to determine the color printing. I thought I had done that, but it never seemed to make a difference in my impressions. Rarely they are in line with what was on the monitor, I have faithfully calobrated. However, a few minutes ago I stumbled on something. I arrived just to click on "Printing Options" and appear in a list little dandy from all sorts of neet to check things, two of them being: disable ICM required of the application software and the other: disable the color profile of the application setting. Do I have reason to assume that these two boxes should be checked? In the case where I make these decisions is more that I should have checked? Thank you...

  Got it, thanks John! I printed out the instructions and as soon as I finished the project I'm on now, I'm going to put everything and are let know how it happened... Thank you

• Photo Viewer seem to use the incorrect color profile.

  I created a color profile by using X-Rite color grading equipment.   All my programs on my PC Windows 7 display the colors correctly except the photo viewer that shows all the colors in the dark.

  For example in Photoshop or Microsoft Office Picture Manager, you can see the details in the shadows, but with the same photo in Photo Viewer, the shadows are so dark that they don't see all the details and all the colors seem much more dark and intense.

  I used to use windows XP and did not have this problem.   Color calibration equipment is new and I use the latest version of the X-rite software on my Samsung SyncMaster monitor.  I found this same problem on another computer in Windows 7 with another Samsung monitor, but I don't think that its really a Samsung problem because I can not find another program except Windows 7 photo viewer that has this problem.

  I want to continue to use the Windows Photo Viewer, because it is quick and easy and is well integrated into other windows functions.
  I think it would be a simple solution to tell the photo viewer to use the correct color profile or simply to increase the brightness in Photo Viewer, but I can't find where is the setting.

  Thanks for any help to solve this problem.

  Success! ICC v2 switch fixed it. Thanks Alexander_L and dphildphil

• U2413, Confused about ICC profiles and sRGB/ARGB modes

  Hello

  I have a question for the calibrated modes (sRGB/ARGB) of U2413.
  -I guess that there's no ICC profiles are delivered with the driver for these because they are focused on the LUT calibrations?
  -However, when the driver is installed, it installs the native ICC profile. This profile still apply in the calibrated LUT modes? I guess it shouldn't because it is for native mode only, but is it? Or I'll remove it?

  Thank you.

  The sRGB and AdobeRGB modes use hardware for calibration LUT in the monitor. If you use these modes you must set at least the standard sRGB or AdobeRGB ICC profiles in your operating system to correctly define color space, in which you are working.

  You could actually make calibrations of LUT of additional software stored in a custom ICC profile, and they would act on top of equipment calibration LUT in the monitor.

  The 'DELL U2413, D6500 color profile' native ICC profile defines the color space of the monitor, which is actually a bit larger than AdobeRGB in certain colors. Do not use it if you set the monitor the sRGB or AdobeRGB modes. According to me, the native ICC profile corresponds to the color space used in preset 'Standard' of the monitor, but there is not LUT stored in the ICC profile to calibrate the colors accurately.

• How to apply the color profile of nvidia Windows 8?

  So I use a color profile custom driver nvidia problem, after that I restarted Windows 8, the colors of nvidia reset by default and cannot work full screen in 3D games. How can I make windows to always use the colors from nvidia?

• Color profile question from lightroom to PSE 12.

  After changing for Windows 10 I find that the color profile is deleted when opening a file from Lightroom 6 to 12 of PSE.  I also get an error message when you try to load a 12 for 8.5 RAW update.  The error reads U44M1I210.  If anyone can help with the problem.

  Ok. What is the setting in Lightroom under preferences > external editing > color space? Here you have the choice between sRGB, Adobe RGB and ProPhoto. The default is ProPhoto, and unless you have changed, it is how it opens in the external editor (in your case, PES).

  If you view while in an another viewer of photos without color management, color will be away (dark and desaturated).

  Now, there may be color settings of the specific items that can strip or convert this profile, so I would still recommend that go. All I can do here is to take the floor for Lightroom and Photoshop.

• How Lightroom handles images with a color profile in fact?

  Since the relevant help page:

  Lightroom simplifies color management by displaying colors using the device independent color spaces. This means that all you need to do before working in Lightroom is to calibrate your monitor. Then, when you're in Lightroom, choose color or color profiles settings when you are ready to output your photos. (In Lightroom color management )

  So. What actually happens? If a picture has, say, a Nikon sRGB profile not LightRoom it converted Adobe RGB (for the library module) and ProPhoto RGB for module progress? This seems to be the implication of the documentation, but it says nothing about a conversion.

  Basically, my question is - it recognizes the supplied profile?

  Thanks by.

  While SHIPS go as you seem to say that indeed there is no color profile. Lightroom is just reads the raw data and assigns the ProPhotoRGB profile? There is no conversion. Values in only digital pixels?

  Right, there is no color profile. But something must be used to interpret the NAVE while converting from a raw file (just a bunch of values of levels of grey) typical, to become a recognizable RGB image. Read the digital pixel values is not enough without some sort of reference, and an ICC profile does not work on a raw file, so what happens is:

  Lightroom processes the raw numbers thanks to Adobe by default camera profile for your Nikon camera model. A profile of the camera is not the same as an ICC profile. This camera profile determines the initial appearance and the colors of an image raw before other development parameters are changed, so if you don't like the default look, you can choose a different camera (if available) profile or create your own. You can change the profile of the camera in the tab Calibration of the camera at the bottom of the right side of the develop module. Adobe camera profiles produce a look that is close, but not exactly what you would get showing the NEF in Nikon software or the raw file JPEG preview.

  After this initial conversion based on the camera profile, Lightroom will apply other settings default development module. In Lightroom, the result of this exists in the built-in color space Lightroom (ProPhoto RGB with curve of tone as sRGB) and then, finally, you see the end result through your (if all goes well to date) display the ICC profile.

  Thus, how your look of naves in Lightroom before editing it is affected by camera Adobe profile + default develop settings.

• created the color profile loading

  Hello

  I had this problem before.

  I work with Imac end 2015 retina 4K and the operating system's EL Capitan.

  Photoshop CC 2015-5

  I created a new profile of color with a spyder 2 (I ordered a new color Munky, incidentally)

  and the software I used was Displaycal 5.

  When I open a file with overview of the Mac, the colors and the contrast is perfect.

  When I open the same file with the Adobe Bridge or Photoshop CC 2015 products

  the contrast is far from bright and the colors are not correct.

  Now, I guess to see the new file created color in bridge color settings according to a tutorial.

  But right now, I don't see the new color profile.

  In the workspaces from photoshop, I see the profile, but no matter what I do the photo are much to high heat.

  In the past with my old Mac and earlier versions of photoshop, I never had this problem.

  The colors and contrast have been even the glimpse of the I mac.

  I really hope you can help me.

  Thank you very much

  View > proof > Monitor RGB turns off the whole display color management chain. It's his goal (insofar as it is never desirable). In short, turn off and leave it off.

  Different color-managed applications display differently, there is a problem with the display profile. All color management applications should display always the same, regardless of the profile/the document workspace. That is the question to have a color display managed pipeline.

  Redo the whole process, make sure you that have all the settings as you wish. I have not used Dispcal/Argyll in quite awhile, but it is a fairly large and complex software piece.

  A small difference between the apps that are color management and not, is normal and expected. What is the size that the difference is, depends on the characteristics of the screen in question.

  That said, the sensor Spyder 2 useless next with modern LED and wide range of displays, and despite this, the overall accuracy was not very good at first. So you can wait until you get the new sensor.

• What color profile is used when uploading to Flickr?

  I use the Flickr Lightroom (Version 6.6.1.1083169) come with Lightroom plugin to transfer your photos to Flickr. All my photos are taken in RAW on a Nikon D750 format, converted to DNG on import. I never had any problem with my photos on Flickr, but I was wondering what color profile Lightroom applies to the pictures uploaded on Flickr? Is it possible to upload photos with a different color profile, say Adobe RGB on Flickr? If yes where can I specify it? (If I upload photos with profile Adobe RGB on Flickr, I understand that displays that can not handle the profile might make wrong.)

  All things internet should use sRGB as sRGB color space is the internet standard.
