Is a 'color-profile' identical to an "ICC profile".

Hello

The title says it all really. All devices leaves its mark of color based CIE profile connection space. For me it is "color profile" of the device. But is it also the same as the ICC profile? We are talking about the same thing?

Thank you

Jason

There are 'profiles of colors', but they are more than common.

ICC profiles are a color profile standardized, but ICC profiles can also describe color conversions (devicelink, and summarized) and not just the device profiles or color spaces.

More often now that they would be the same.

  • ICC color profiles not recognized in advanced settings

    I'm a Civil Engineer using Acrobat for Windows 7 to print plan sets. My colleagues and I use identical computers, drawings and printers, but my plans still print more light, or with strange colors. Look, I find that our profiles of color ICC under Advanced settings are different. So I tried to download and install the same as (ideally to make our characters look the same), but when I install the profile of color, nothing changes. I can see the profile of the structure of folders, but Acrobat is not recognize it.

    The setting should I have is: CMYK working: U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2

    Instead, I: working RGB:; @

    Is the folder: C:\Program Files (x 86) \Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Resource\Color\Profiles\Recommended

    I tried to reinstall Acrobat and my drivers with no improvement. I know it's probably something obvious, but it eludes me right now.

    Thanks in advance.

    Obviously, something is not the same in the configurations.

    The key to what happens peut be in the fact that you see a RGB profile used for the printed output if your colleagues see a CMYK profile. This would be indicative of a difference in this page description language is used for printing.

    PostScript output normally made reference to a CMYK profile for printing. Print via GDI printing such as HP PCL or for matrix printers référenceriez a RGB profile as GDI focuses totally on the RGB.

    A scenario likely is that you and your employees share a printer that both PostScript and PCL. Your employees have access to the printer via a PostScript driver, and you access the printer through a PCL printer driver. If a PostScript driver for your printer is not installed, install that and see if that makes a difference!

  • How do you apply for a batch of images ICC color profiles?

    Hello world

    My apologies if the answer to my question has already been posted somewhere, but I was not able to find it. I am learning to use Photoshop CC 2015. I'm currently having a hard time trying to learn how to apply a measure ICC profile to multiple pictures at once. I can apply the color profile for them one at a time, without problem, but I can't for the life of me work how to apply the same profile to a batch of images, without their make one at a time.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Open the first file.

    Open the Actions panel and create a new action. Name it. Start recording, there is a button at the bottom of the Panel, which turns red.

    Do whatever you need to do. In this case, it is mainly Edit > assign profile. I would recommend when you save the result on a copy to a specified folder, what you can do here as the next step (there are other ways to handle this, but this is something different, better suited to the Photoshop forum).

    Close the original without saving the changes. You do want to overwrite your originals.

    Stop recording.

    Open Bridge, select the files you want. Tools > Photoshop > batch processing. Choose your action and go.

    Now, I don't want to have an opinion on the procedure itself, except to point out that the raw file needs a point rendered in a RGB file before the icc profile can be generated. I'm not sold on the accuracy of the present, but whatever it is. I always recommend that you keep your files in a standard color space.

  • 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

  • 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 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?

    justinw86398615 wrote:

    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.

    If this function is based on the new export module (which is likely), there is no way to embed an icc profile. Export simply has no way to make - yet. We were promised that this is a work in progress and new features will be added as they are ready.

  • 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:

    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?

    Emil, please do not confuse what follows for stubbornness...

    No worries, I never had such thoughts

    mjyeager wrote:

    ... IE does not read color profiles. The fact of FF. ERGO, in situations where a color profile is involved, the JPG will be different in each browser.

    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:

    ... However, if the JPG has no color profile, image shows exactly the same way in both browsers...

    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:

    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.

    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.

  • 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.
