• Between 5.5 and CS4 color management problems

  I'm faced with a problem of color management and would be very grateful if someone could help me with that.

  I'm working to create in inDesign CS4 (6.0.6) and using my usual color management settings. I set up at the bridge in my CS4 and then use in InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator. My settings are for jobs printed here in the United Kingdom, as follows:

  ---

  Workspaces

  RGB: Adobe RGB (1998)

  CMYK: Coated FOGRA39

  Color management policies

  RGB: Convert in the workspace

  CMYK: Convert in the workspace

  All three 'request when opening' checked

  ---

  Then I have a customer takes the file InDesign me, working there and returned to me to complete the development and execution of the high pdf - are for printing. It runs the latest InDesign CS5.5. I have him ordered to open InDesign and set his Edit > color... settings as follows without any open file is by default (am I do this bit correctly, it will work through all the files I send?):

  ---

  Workspaces

  RGB: Adobe RGB (1998)

  CMYK: Coated FOGRA39

  Color management policies

  RGB: Preserve embedded profiles

  CMYK: Preserve embedded profiles

  All three 'request when opening' checked.

  ---

  We did some testing and it doesn't work. It can open and work on the file ok and I see text changes she did without any problems.

  But when I analyze his record returned in detail, I can see that his record is now showing view > test format > Document CMYK - us Web Coated SWOP (v2)

  that suggests something coming to an end that applies US profile. I can change the configuration of evidence to work: Coated FOGRA39, but prefer the US profile never made his reappearance!

  My apologies if I'm doing a very basic error or errors here, but I usually have my color management just on my own system, so this is new territory for me. If anyone can help with what I should advise him to do to an end, I would be very grateful (she is about 300 miles north of England, so can't easily try the options on his MacBook Pro myself!)

  PS I also noticed that some items on the page have been modified when exporting .idml to 80% of transparency-enough to fool me for a while that the colors had changed over those too, when in fact I don't think that had anything to do with the issue of profile, probably just a bug between economy of process CS5.5?

  The easy way to get your colleague to use the settings that you want, is likely to create a .csf (color settings file) by pressing save button in the Edit > color... Settings dialog box, then having his press office in the same dialog box and selecting your .csf you sent.

• 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.

• Major problems of color in CS5-very clean

  HELPPP... and please excuse my ignorance.

  When I got CS5, I had problems with color management.  Don't know how to explain it, but the colors in the different visualization pane significantly after I clicked on the photo to edit. In other words, as soon as I clicked on the photo, I tried to edit, it turned much duller.  the reds suddenly becomes brownish orange. and they are not believed, so this isn't the problem. I finally understood how to work around. Although I shoot in Adobe RGB I set to SRGB color management and (I don't know what else I put) and when I clicked on a photo to edit, I'd get the message where I had the opportunity to reject the (no color management) icc profile and that's what I chose.  It was all my rich colors, and it was worth the hassle to do this with each new picture.  I know you might think it's ridiculous, but I had no problem with the impressions of my laboratory.

  Last night it was fine.  This afternoon I turned on CS5, and everything changed. and I have no idea why.  Now I'm back to see dull colors in CS5, even the one's that I've already edited.  I have some pictures with rich red, they are fine on my site, but in photoshop dull brown.

  I'm temporarily using Corel, because for some reason to any he has no problem to display the correct colors.

  So it is something to do with PS.  I think that somewhere, but I don't know how, maybe some settings changed.  But I'm desperate.  I tried all kinds of combinations. using the setting, switching things on and off and dull, dull, dull to adobe.

  I have windows 7 64 bit

  Thanks for any help you can give.

  There, working with unmarked RGB , as you pointed out, charles

  anyone else trying to solve this mystery:

  Photoshop must use (apply) the SOURCE PROFILE appropriate to display properly (it's the first place wherever I look, the monitor profile is the second)

  a screenshot of the color of the OP settings would also be good to make sure all three profiles are defined to Preserve, and all three boxes are checked to warn us other questions:

  

• 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 matters - color management not

  Hi all

  I was wondering if someone can help me with this very annoying problem. Is attached a picture of the problem

  

  Don't know how well you can see it, but the image on the left is in photoshop, that law is just opened in widows photo viewer. As you can see there is no real black (they leave a shade of green). The color picker does not work as well. This happens also with indesign. It is not a problem of color management.

  Before that the problem I did a DeFrag and after that Photoshop was messed up. I can't be sure, but other times I had this problem I did just before defragmentation. The only way I could solve the problem in the past is to format my hard drive... There must be an easier option.

  If anyone can suggest a way to deal with this without having to reinstall photoshop and indesign whenever I do a defrag then that would be great.

  Thank you

  -Chris

  Sorry, you do need to calibrate in order to adjust the colors properly in Photoshop and print what you see.

  There is no way around that fact.

  You can fake it and hope for the best, but if you are serious, you need to calibrate.

• Problem with colors in Lightroom (color shadows/blacks/artifacts)

  Hi, I imported just some pictures with dark places on them (shadows, night etc.)

  and in the library colors are ok, but once I'm in develop module, change the scenes dark colors and there are even darker splashes (?)

  Its ok when I click on ever but its annoying, but if I uncheck the box, dark colors are back.

  So:

  Library - ok

  Soft proofing - ok

  When I export - ok

  develop - bad spots on the part dark photos

  Photo:

  Objects on dress in develop module:

  

  And that's what it looks like in library, soft proofing and export

  

  Another example:

  http://imgur.com/a/EOtbM The first picture is developing, rest is library and never. You can see black spots on his black shirt plate and TV

  It happens with every photo, regardless of if its from my camera olympus or iPhone.

  IM using macbook air 13, all set to date.

  Thank you!

  Is that what you see? I used an adjustment layer to make it visible.

  

  These artifacts are actually in the file. I noticed metadata in the file that you are using Lightroom 5.6. You need to update it to Lightroom 5.7.1 there was a problem of color management with Lightroom 5.6 under Mac OS X Adobe fixed with 5.7.

• Color Management differences between bridge, ACR, & Photoshop

  Hi - I had a problem with color management I can't wrap my head around which is similar to this famous thread: http://forums.Adobe.com/message/3235601#3235601

  I hope with a bit more information, as much as I can get this figured out. The fundamental problem is that Bridge displays images significantly differently than ACR or Photoshop. The most common problem is the following:

  With the external monitor as main display (and the laptop as a secondary monitor), I launch Bridge. Photos will be appear to be in the correct range for a while, but it desaturates them almost immediately as if switching lines. Open the image in ACR or Photoshop displays the correct color. See the below:

  

  (Note: on my screen wide gamut, there is no clipping on the ACR version - this is how it should look)

  There are various permuations to this problem, according to which monitor I on when I launch Bridge, but the above is my general workflow.

  Some information:

  Lenovo ThinkPad T430s w / integrated graphics Intel HD4000

  ASUS series ProArt PA246Q (wide range)

  Photoshop CS6 (with 16-bit ProPhotoRGB as the standard workspace)

  Datacolor Spyder4 calibrate two monitors

  My settings:

  

  I know there are a lot of variables, but everyone sees the obvious problems that could explain my problem?

  Thank you!

  For anyone who has followed this thread, just a heads up for future use. It is confirmed all previews in Bridge are actually in sRGB. It's a little surprising, but apparently true. More details on this subject.

• Color management in PS and monitor calibration

  I calibrated my colors of monitors with a colorimeter Eye One Display 2 and for photoshop, I attributed the monitors that he created the color profile to the work area (Edition > assign profile).
  But for photography I take pictures with the color profile setting AdobeRGB on my camera... should I use this instead of that color profile when working on photos in PS? They look a bit washed out. I guess I should continue to use my profile of monitors calibrated instead?
  
  And photos save a jpg for the web, should I check "ICC profile" box that lists my monitors color profile when registering? Because I noticed that now some browsers began to support ICC profiles. So in Firefox 4 BETA for example, if I do not use the ICC profile setting the colors look washed on other monitors.
  (Note that the ICC profile for jpg setting is available in file > save under... If I go to file > save for Web and devices there embed the color profile that is basically the same thing).

  I was confused in the same way and some time ago I asked a similar question here, but now I think I understand better and will try to explain. I'd appreciate also correction or a confirmation of those who understand this.

  Photoshop like all other color management programs, knows how the monitor displays colors of the color profile that is installed in the system.

  When you use an image with an embedded profile, Photoshop converts the properly display (not the actual numbers) of color values so that the planned colors are displayed as accurately as possible.

  The profiles selected for workstations in the color settings will be affected only in the following situations:

  • When you create a new image, given that it is not replaced in the new options window dialog
  • When in the color settings color management policies are set to perform the conversion of workspace - this will convert the actual number of color values
  • When you choose not to handle colors in the profile attribute in the Edit menu - this will change the display as if the image was created with the current working space profile, will not change the number of color values.

  If an image is with the same color in the system monitor profile then there is no color management past up to the conversion or Proofing color with a different profile.

  It is recommended to work in a popular as sRGB or AdobeRGB color space, because the color management wise when the images are intended to be affixed to the devices and various monitors and more common ground as sRGB is used as a reference instead of a particular monitor color space.

• 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.

• Dell U2413/U2713H (or maybe Windows 8) issue of color management

  Hello guys!

  I am an excessive user of Photoshop / graphic designer and I just bought Dell U2413 to obtain, in combination with my graphics card Nvidia Quadro K2000, a true wide range/10-bit working environment of color which is very important for what I do. (Nec or Eizo was not an option because I've already spent so much money on other materials and I opted for Dell because I heard it is the best display in this price range - in my country, with taxes, it cost me 566 EUROS).

  Previously, I was working on iMac for almost a decade then separate pieces of hardware or Windows operating system was a new (and, I must admit, pretty scary) territory for me. However, after everything has been put in place, I tried to calibrate my monitor for the first time and then I was very unpleasantly surprised! Namely, I have X-Rite i1 Display colorimeter Pro and some optional software for it (ColorEyes display Pro and baslCColor display 5 was much better/appropriate for me because of their L * option for TRC so I never used it original i 1 Profiler is a software which is a LOT less than the previous two compering), but because Dell in it's manual said to use a calibration color UltraSharp Solution software is exclusively I decided to give it a go and try with it. But, to my (as I already said, very unpleasant!) surprise, I was EVEN less of i1 Profiler which, as I have said, was never an option for me.

  Not the end of the world, I thought, I'll re - calibrate it with ColorEyes Display Pro and everything goes well. But, after doing so, my unpleasant surprise become even more unpleasant, when I discovered that no matter what profile I chose in Windows Color Management and press "Set as default", nothing happens - my screen remains the same! The only way I can get a color change is if I create a profile using Windows built in utility. Profiles created in this way change the appearance of the screen, but all the profiles downloaded or created make no difference. And now I literally don't know what to do... The worst thing only of this, I can't blame WHO:

  1 Dell - that has a 'high end' view gives you ONLY a few factory presets + 2 custom profiles (Cal1 and Cal2) made by software calibration nowdays more inferior and useless;
  2. Windows 8 - who did a terrible color management which, in the same way, not a color at all management;
  3. me - who is unable to see put in place something that is more than simple & obvious?

  THANKS in ADVANCE for everyone is willing to help me solve this question and forgive me for a long (and perhaps confusing-) as you can say English is not my language kindergarten post!

  First of all if you use the eyes color pro with GBLED and i1DisplayPro and you're not invited to a sort of spectral correction for your type of backlight screen, you're hurting. No matter how visually pleasant it is, the profile is not accurate, playing WYSIWYB (what you see is what you believe) not WYSIWYG.
  Second, unless you have purchased/updated Basiccolor Display 5 after may 2013 (NEC GB LED suppor for PA242W, 5.1.2 version) with GBLED and i1DisplayPro, its measures are wrong, no matter how nice of calibration is.

  With your questions:
  You have 6 presets:
  -CAL1/CAL2, please read questions configuration on the Dell color calibration Solution in this instance. Please install the latest version 1.0.1.0 (67MB) and disable all color adjustments in yor GPU nvidia (bright colors, digital vibrance... all OFF). Most of us use in Windows 7 without problem (after a few configuration settings: spectal correction for GBLED files)

  http://en.community.Dell.com/support-forums/peripherals/f/3529/t/19517601.aspx
  etc.
  -Factory-sRGB/AdobeRGB which are probably with a white point off the coast of the D65, recalibrate in GPU LUT with ArgyllCMS/DisplayCal. Works very well.
  -Standard with a usually arround WP 7000 K (native GBLED WP), if calibrated in GPU LUT with ArgyllCMS/DisplayCal ' nearest the locus of the daylight "of your native WP should give about your contrast of 1000: 1. It is perhaps unnecessary to your workflow, but it is better to know it.
  -Custom, native, fully customizable range WhitePoint, blackpopint and luminance of D50 D70 and beyond.
  Work with color management applications just you Custom, CAL1 and CAL2.

  You may have a problem with Windows (from Windows Vista from) color management. By default, Windows does not allow profiles (but applications can) rewriting GPU LUT of calibration. You need to configure.
  In W8, it's done:
  -From the right panel-> Search-> color management
  -Go to the tab advanced options
  -Click on "change default settings...". ', the button down with administrator privileges.
  -Go to the tab advanced options in this new window
  -Toogle check buton (bottom) "windows use on screen calibration" (sorry I don't have an English version of Windows and I don't know the exact text)
  -Reload button calibrations (bottom)
  -Close
  -Go to the "Devices" tab and select your screen in the upper drop-down list
  -check the box "use my record for this device".
  -Select your profile

  Your screen SHOULD be the same printer Dell preset OSD in which this profile was created, without other changes in contrast or brightness.
  If enabled, please disable the "AUTO" mode in the Dell Display Manager tray icon, use the manual mode with "enhanced video" (last tab) OFF.

  BTW and I know that this is not your case, but without workflow 10bits or gamma in 3DLUT (NECs & eizos) L * gamma calibration is not necessary.

  For those who have worn with 8-bit or DA better sRGB gamma CRT and let Photoshop or GIMP color management to make corrections for images ECIv2 (or with similar profiles of gamma)
