Convert to profile & Soft Proofing.

Hello

My apologies if this has been requested and replied. Some responses on proofing looked on the forums has helped, but not hit the nail on the head.

I am grateful for the ideas, instructions, pointers.

I. According to the instructions of the printer that prints my work, I have converted my image profiles to Dot Gain 20%. I want to assure you that I see on my screen will have a) be a tight that she (woman, the print job) will see on his screen. and (b) give me an idea of how the print job and the printer (Espson stylist Pro 4800) will interpret. It is logical to me that I should change my format of test for Dot Gain 20%, no?  Have I not this wrong?

II. I also need to do a series of JPEG files which will be visible on a variety of screens, each with a different brand and calibration. These JPEG files should be as convincing a match to print as possible, with compensation, of course, carried out for the paper, ink, etc. The game should be close. Is there a standard for ever which will allow me to see what is likely to appear on a given screen. An order, I know. I was wondering if I should just inform viewers to display JPEG images with their monitors, assign a certain color profile - or if I should send them a monitor profile as well as JPEG files.

Thank once again for ideas.

A little guide:

You will need a valid of monitor profile (MP) and a printer profile (PP) for

Epson 4800 for a printing (ink, paper, well-defined resolution process

and much more).

If your impression people do not have a profile, and then not to print from there.

A PP contains everything about the Dot Gain.

Let the images in sRGB (sRGB workspace)

Edit by PhS until it looks nice

In the event, choose your PP

Rendering Intent Relative Colorimetry, Black Point Compensation

Observe the changes of the image, Soft Proof on / off

Failure to comply with the warning range, using a color of alarm

If the changes are strong or / and if the Gamut Warning zones are large

(not only highlights or some leaves on the trees), then change your image.

This can be explained by simple means.

If the image looks nice and save with sRGB embedded profile

and leave it to print, using exactly the defined printer process previously.

Test is done by software, here Photoshop, for simulated hardware.

which is entirely defined by the PP.

sRGB is a de facto standard for the Web.

If your images are in a colorful way, then it could be recommended

working entirely in AdobeRGB (1998) = ARGB.

Image in aRGB, work space ARGB.

You can do this after the clarification of this issue with the impression people. Of course

the aRGB profile must be incorporated, but even in this case, there is a good chance

the people of print is not familiar with profiles and assumes sRGB as

Profile of the source.

Putting, you would need two versions - one for printing, one for the Web.

  • Soft proofing and color profile

    Dear all,

    problems shall comply with archival ink jet print places I tried. I am now looking at "soft proofing" which I think is not without her pearls. The problems I've experienced before where the images were no converted the profile is that sometimes they would print at great expense properly and sometimes they would not, again at great cost. If the image is converted to the correct profile, in this case Hahnemule, will the embedded profile that the image will print consistently and 2 different days?

    Images must be in Adobe RGB (1998) or sRGB, in both cases with

    embedded profiles, but only one type for each poster.

    The printer must apply 'Use integrated source profile' mode and a

    Destination profile which is valid for the paper and the printing process itself.

    Hahnemühle says almost nothing.

    A few parameters: weight in g/m², resolution in dpi, dithering mode

    (pixelation), CMYK or CMYK + LightC, + LightM, or other combinations with

    several grays, or to Orange and green. Given the fact that inkjet

    In addition, often use a profile of linearization, there is a good chance of

    Errors of the operator.

    This should be fixed in advance. Then the appropriate profile can be used

    for ever.

    IMHO, a wedge of FOGRA control is used for the printing of the evidence,

    which means "simulate the appearance of offset printing with inkjet.

    At least I use the corner of control in this situation. It requires a

  • [LR 5] Soft Proofing - Gamut Warning monitor vary with the profile of the printer?

    Hello

    There is something that I do not understand when you use the function of gentle fermentation in LR.

    The monitor Gamut Warning feature (top left icon of the histogram when Proofing is enabled) is supposed to show us what colors in the image can be reproduced on the screen. Right? If I understand correctly, the warning is calculated by comparing the current image (virtualized by LR in the Melissa RGB color space) to the display range (read active calibration profile).

    Then why LR different show "out of gamut" areas for display when I change the profile of the printer selected when using soft proofing? It's not logical for me.

    I missed something?

    Thanks in advance.

    Indeed, they are vague on this issue. My thinking on the subject comes to converse with people from Adobe here and elsewhere, as I'm sure that I'vce has discussed this issue on the forum before. As far as I know the caution monitor is supposed to be calculated after the conversion to the profile of the printer so that you get an idea if the soft resistant color is displayed accurately. This must be the correct behavior as waterproofing can really take a color either in or out of the monitor range. I'm not 100% sure on it though, but definitely, he explains how he behaves.

    Also, if you calibrate your screen and write a display icc v4 profile, the situation changes once again as today the display profile can actually contain a perceptual rendering intent, making it even less accurate and the assumption of simple linear conversions one-to-one between color spaces is not valid. Some calibration software packages do however, but there are a few exceptions.

    If you want to know if your image is outside the display profile, you can indeed deceive the test to allow you to select a display as the printer proofing profile profile. In principle, you can select a standard workspace such as prophotoRGB it and get results that make sense. But you certainly don't want to have a random printer profile chosen for the reasons cited above. I guess they could add some tricks to detect that you have selected the profile of the current view and not one profile of another to randomly display and then collapse the interface, but it's a case of edge I doubt Adobe would give priority to this. It works very well so simply, you realize that you have selected your profile screen like the printer proof profile.

  • Bluescreen when the soft proofing

    I just started to have the blue screen with an X, developing mode, while the soft proofing and seeking the warnings of the range. Proofing also no longer works (image remains the same). Recently made "Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update" and recently upgraded to El Capitan, and this issue seems to be passed eventually. Since having the problem, I've just updated to the latest version of LR, nothing helps. With the help of iMac (mid-2010) with a lot of memory... everything worked fine last week. Here is the system of information displayed on the performance tab in the preferences of LR:

    Sorry for my delay... Thank you for your response. I always have, I could not proofing to work even though he seems to have the right icc profile listed. In fact, the profiles were more where they should be in the ColorSync folder. Reinstalled them, and everything is good to go. GPU is activated and not blue X.

  • problem of "convert to profile" sRGB.

    I'm new to Photoshop and I'm having a real problem frustrating and I can't just understand what I am doing wrong.

    I have my workspace of Photoshop (PS CC 2015.1.2) set to sRGB. On the import of an image, I find that the colors are a little washed out, so I decided to go edit/convert to profile and choose sRGB in the menu drop-down. In the dialog box convert to profile I ticked ' preview' and while still in converting it to profile dialog box, the change of colors (I presume in sRGB) and look perfect. However, as soon as I click 'OK' to return to the main window of PS, the colors change immediately to rinsed. I click on convert to profile again to make sure that I chose the setting of the appropriate color and it is set to sRGB, yet there is absolutely no change to my image, except in convert profile dialog preview.

    What Miss me?

    Conversion to a different profile is not supposed to change the appearance of the overall color. Colors should essentially remain the same, as the RGB numbers are remapped to one color space to another.

    What it does is change the size of the color space, allowing more or less saturated to reproduce colors colocation.

    If the preview to convert to profile changes appearance, which resembles an old (and minor) bug that I thought had been fixed long ago.

  • Soft Proofing and adjustment brush / Spot removal problems

    Hello

    Since the last update (at least I think) to 6.5 that I have a problem when soft proofing is turned on. In particular, the adjustment brush and the brush of spotting does not work smoothly. The first problem is that when you try to make smaller or larger brush (keyboard and Tablet) the brush shows the size have immediately brush outside the window or click on the image to see the size of the brush (brush of detachment and adjustment) and the cash withdrawal is very slow and if I want to spend the part I want to remove to make it better appearance it does not update immediately when moving. Also when using either the computer fans brush starts to kick in and work hard. Tried two GPUs and extinguish the same result. but as I turn soon soft proofing off the coast of the brushes as planned work and also the fans to stay out of

    so if someone has problems with these two brushes you might want to look into the option to see if Proofing is enabled

    I have not noticed this. However, I usually do all my withdrawal in cash without proofing turned on. Normally, the only thing I do when the soft proofing is set things like saturation, lights and shadows. Things that affect the overall appearance of printing based on the book that I use. What are the specifications of your computer? OS, RAM, etc.

  • Where is the difference between Edition > assign profile... and edit > convert to profile?

    I ' v saw a lot of youtube videos and video2brain or lynda.com and I didin't clearified the difference between Edition > assign profile... and edit > convert to profile.

    On Photoshop Cs6, where is the difference between Edition > assign profile... and edit > convert to profile. With Edition > assign the profile changes the visual appearance of the colors, but the color values remains the same. Assign profile form a profile to a photoshop document so that the profile can travel with the document. Edit > convert to profile changes the values of colors in the document to match the profile, so the color values are shifted. When I do use edit it > convert to profile and edit > Assign profile... command in Photoshop within a document? Can someone explain to me?

    Nice day!

    Use Convert to profile if you want to change an image from one color space to another, for example when you worked on a picture in AdobeRGB but want to use the image on the web to convert to sRGB may be a good idea. Also when work you in RGB and will have to spend on CMYK images for a specific printing process.

    Useful application to assign the profile is generally limited, for example if you get and change an image not profiled (or clearly wrong profiled) it make sense to incorporate the profile so that the later display and editing can proceed in the same way regardless of the workspace.

  • PS CS6 - convert to profile - overview of the wrong color with AdobeRGB-> conversion AdobeRGB.

    Hello

    I discovered what seems like a small bug for me in CS6 (compared to PS CS3 and CS4).

    I would be inteterested if others could confirm this (or explain it to me)

    When using Convert to profile, AdobeRGB-> bugs 'conversion' AdobeRGB in preview. Since there is no actual conversion, the preview is the same but on the contrary shows a strong change contrast.

    This is my workflow:

    -Working color space: sRGB (I use Europe General Purpose 3 preset)

    -Open a document in AdobeRGB (kept original profile, no prior conversion to sRGB), no trial activated

    -I run "Convert to profile", a Source RGB Adobe's profile. Now, if I go to the Destination profile: AdobeRGB (which is of course "useless"), I see a color change in the preview image. If I run the conversion, the image returns to normal, so it only works on the preview. Note that conversion to other profiles as sRGB does not give a wrong look.


    "Convert to profile" settings are engine: Adobe (ACE), intent: Relative Colorimetry, Dither and use black point compensation. Changing these settings is not to fix the bug I'm mentioning.

    This Visual bug only affects AdobeRGB-> conversion AdobeRGB (even once, Yes, I know, it's useless)

    I tested the issue on two separate machines (Windows 7, PS CS6 x 64)

    Do you feel the same questions?

    Thank you!

    JS

    This has been reported before, and can be easily reproduced.  I never heard that it's any kind of feature - I'm with you: Bug.

    I suspect because it is a problem of read-only and does not affect the image quality and it's absurd kind of operation in any case, Adobe has assigned a lower priority level than pretty much everything else.

    But if it were my software I'd be certainly embarrassed that she did this.

  • How to set the key F2 to convert to profile OSX 10.7

    Can someone me idea how to put my F2 key to edit > convert to profile (instead of the brightness of my screen)?

    I used to be able to do fairly easily before 10.7, but now I can't understand it.

    Photoshop: Modify keyboard shortcuts > convert to profile does not accept my F2 key (it lights up my brightness)

    System Preferences > keyboard > shortcuts is probably the key, but deselecting F2 does not solve the problem

    PS13.0.1

    The default value for OS X 10.6 (and therefore 10.7, I presume) is to apply the 'feature' printed on a Fn key when the Fn keypress is not accompanied by the key 'FN' written on it which is located above the "Del" key

    You will be able to change this behavior in the system preferences > keyboard so that the Fn keys behave like keys Fn normal without a simultaneous pressure on the "fn" key and the "fn" key will be necessary for the "features".

    Here is a screenshot of the setting you need to reverse by default.

  • Separate color Vs convert to profile

    I'm working on several projects that pass from foreign to domestic (US) printers printers. I have a custom profile that I use, which is a variant of SWOP.
    If I choose "convert to profile" there is no color change. However, it is because nothing changes except the profile. DMAX is the same. No travel value of color at all. (so what?) If I want to mount the plug I put for this profile, I need to change modes RGB, and then re - separate into CMYK. I know that's not good for the quality of the image. It generates gaps in the histogram and causes a serious change in color to something that was already CMYK.

    Is there a direct way to switch profiles that actually changes the color to satisfy the specifications of the destination profile?
    I was passing through and manually tweeking every image, but with close to 1,000 online I want to automate as much as possible.

    Thank you

    > If I choose "convert to profile" there is no color change. However, it is because nothing changes except the profile.

    No, convert changes in profile the numbers in the image in order to preserve the appearance.

    Assign the profile would be to change just the profile without changing the numbers - but then the appearance would change.

    There is no need to convert to RGB.

  • Soft Proof Copies

    I have a file of 400 pictures, I want to apply a particular print profile at all. I can select a file, go to and select the desired profile of soft evidence. Is there and I can do them all at once or I have to make them one at a time? My plan is to apply this profile and then export it to a 4 x 6, so that you understand the final result.

    Bob

    You don't need to do that if you don't plan to edit actually develop settings in order to respond to changes in the images due to the test. All you need to do is simply export your files in the printing profile. In the export panel simply select your printing profile in the window of the color space. If you want to apply a test to a set of images, turn on the auto sync (at the bottom of the tab to develop on the right) before you turn on lifting on the front more and it will be on for all.
