• Preview color management issue - glued assigned Adobe RGB image

  I often web elements page layout in InDesign that my composition tool, then copy and paste in Photoshop as a smart object to then generate optimized web images. It's just easier to use photoshop. Problem, it is in the latest versions of Adobe have clogged the engine of anti-aliasing and now when rasterising a PDF file or paste a picture also as a chip oppose any portion of the image of this asset is smoother. You don't really notice that if the image of origin placed in InDesign is say double or more this resolution of the web version of final product, the scale hides the issue. But if they are closer to really see faceting full size occurs. Long story... anyway, I decided to study the implementation overview of Apple as a gateway for the rasterising instead of photoshop. He did a good job on glued assets resampling, but on this point saving and checking in Photoshop, I note that Preview assigned Adobe RGB profile to the processed image. Even if I opened the InDesign PDF and export as image in my size. My color workflow is sRGB. InDesign and Photoshop are two parameters in this way, the image placed in InDesign also has sRGB profile, the PDF has sRGB profile. If I copy / paste between InDesign and Photoshop, they are both aware glued Trump space and warn me if different from that of the target document. I have no idea where Preview becomes Adobe RGB, I don't see its place in the app to change that as a preference, and in any case, it seems very strange to be a defect when most of the people would not use them.

  In the preview, click on the tools bar menu point and scroll to the bottom of the drop-down list to assign the profile

  the next submenu you can click on and select sRGB at the bottom of this list. To save this profile to your image,

  do a "save under" (click on file, press the option/alt key Save As should appear). You can also test under the view menu bar item.

• 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)

  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)

• Impossible to apply an ICC profile to display. can not understand instructions for color management

  I just upgraded again own computer with Windows7 from my old XP machine.  I have icc profiles for my two monitors.  Under XP, I had nothing wrong with 'apply' or 'associate' or 'use' of these profiles by using the MS color, and both monitors would change appearance when starting a State fully calibrated and profiled.

  Now, in Win7, I followed fairly confusing instructions, go to the color management / devices / select one of the screens / click "use my settings for this device" / add a profile box "Profiles associated with this device" using the add"" button.  Then I click on the correct profile in this box and click "Set as default profile".  Nothing happens.  I can put any weird profile as a default, and nothing happens.

  I don't even know instructions during the effective application of this profile is supposed to happen, but guess it is when you click on "set as default profile."

  "It may be a clue that the color management dialog box fails to identify my poster other than in the form ' generic PnP monitor - NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT" while the control panel NVIDIA and Windows 'Screen Resolution' box both manage to identify the poster correctly and use their own name i, e, Eizo L768 and Samsung SyncMaster.

  In addition, 'Identify display' in the dialogue box CM works exactly the opposite of how it works in the other two boxes that is Samsung (left) is number 1 in color Mgmt, but number 2 in the control panel Nvidia and Windows 'Screen Resolution' box.

  I'm stuck until I can address this issue, so would be very grateful for any help.

  Thank you

  Thanks the geek for your help.  No thank you somehow to anyone from Microsoft.  None of this reflects well on Microsoft; No to the current Windows 7 CM interface design, not the fact that after years of complaints and messing around with color management that they could have finally gotten the mechanics in place, but still cannot explain, or make it possible for mortals to use it, and certainly not the fact that they create these monsters and offer no support to any well-founded None.  Not a response to a MS person here, not a good answer to similar questions scattered throughout the Web, no after sales support during any period after the purchase of a new operating system of MS qualified (it's supposed to be provided by the OEM, but of course, none of them knows this kind of thing, how can you keep waiting if Microsoft don't?).  So - NO support.

  I can't believe I fell for the hype and purchased a new Windows System.  I swear to you that this is my LAST purchase of windows.  Microsoft, despite the amazing improvements in Win7, still do not understand.

  Here's the answer to my problem, thanks to some photographers and no thanks to Microsoft...

  1 ASSOCIATE YOUR PROFILES WITH DISPLAY AND SET as a DEFAULT value
  
  To apply an existing ICC profile (ICM file created by any process of calibration), follow these steps.

  Control panel / display / change display settings / advanced settings / color management / color (new!)  / Devices / select one of your displays * 1 / click "use my settings for this device" * 2 / if necessary adds profile applicable to the area of "Profiles associated with this device" using the "Add" button (if your profile is not already listed but is available somewhere on the network or the computer) / click on the correct profile in this box and click "set as default profile."

  * 1 the dialog boxes CM do not label your displays just like the other dialog boxes, they seem to lose the manufacturer and the model number information that is available elsewhere, so your display ABC model nn appears as display: 1. Generic PnP monitor .  Also note that at least on my system, display "1" was in fact display '2' in the other dialogs settings display and vice versa.

  * 2 that could think by selecting 'Use my settings for this device' would mean the Windows using your settings for this device (screen), but apparently it isn't.  That means... Well, I don't know what that means.  Perhaps it means that if you do select not her, even the next step (see below) will not help you.

  Good work so far - unnecessarily complex - and tortuous, but has a certain logic.  Unfortunately it is not nothing at all, until you train the secret key.  Well it seems that the above should do what you want, you need to do something that is quite obvious and not mentioned at all in the General discussion of the help and apparently not known by the 67 people who have read my question.  In fact, it is listed in the section to help Ms... at the bottom of the "Description of the color management settings" and after a largely incomprehensible mass of things that appear not to be relevant, there is a link that is not listed in the content at the top and almost impossible to see... To enable or disable calibration loading Windows

  2 ACTIVATE THE CALIBRATION BY WINDOWS LOADING

  Here's the little hidden from the help file...

  1. To enable or disable calibration loading of Windows, you must be logged in with an account of a user with administrator privileges.

  2. Click to open color management.

  3. Click the Advanced tab, and then click change system default values.

  4. Click on the Advanced tab in the color - default system, dialog management, and do one of the following:

     • To allow Windows to load and display calibrations, check the box use Windows display calibration.

     • To prevent Windows from loading screen calibration, clear use Windows display calibration check box.

  5. Click Close in the color management - default settings dialog box of the system.

  6. Click Close in the color management dialog box.

  Not only it obscure, it confounds even by the fact that you are in the same dialog twice, but the second time is the reference color - default system management instead of the color management as it was the first two times.   But only on the second time is the required box enabled to allow you to check or do a system wide setting.  Easy to miss.

  Experts of either MS doesn't know about it and can not find in the help files or the other, or that they couldn't be bothered to answer my question.  In any case a) I hope this helps someone else, and b) I hope that Mrs. lift their game to support and actually meets the future to frustrated and powerless people that I was.  Thanks Microsoft for losing a day of my life.

• 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.

• 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

• Why is it not my icc profile in the 'other' tab in the color management tab in the print module?

  I installed a new icc profile (as I did in the past). It appears in the folder c:/windows/system32/spool/drivers/color as well as everything else. I have the latest update for Lightroom installed. I closed Lightroom, restarted the computer and restarted Lightroom. My other profiles are listed, but this one isn't there. I know it must be added in the menu 'Other' down in the profile section of the tab in the print module color management--but it is just not there. Any advice would be appreciated.

  I just figured it out, and I'll put the answer here in case others run into the same issue.

  I closed the print module and went in the develop module. I went soft proofing (shortcut "S") mode and looked on this list of management-profile-other colors, and it was there. I then closed out proofing and returned to the print module. Now the icc profile was listed. Strange behavior, but there you go.

• By default Adobe color management print affecting RGB to pages B & w and color printing costs

  Adobe Print of default color management seems to be assigning RGB meta pages n & B and cost of printing color for prints n & B.

  I can manually change the color management for printing printer managed on a basis by printing instead of the default adobe color managed

  who "heals" issue, but I don't seem to be able to save this default setting. Has anyone seen and corrected this problem?

  If you want B & W prints, you must use a profile of color B & W. Adobe apps can do know anything about unless you tell them. Just because it seems gray does not mean it is gray on the technical level. You must read on color management. There is nothing wrong with the PS, you're simply using options and incorrect settings.

• Through dynamic color management

  Hey guys.

  I know I don't know too much about the management of colors now, but reading a how-to article related to this Board who suggested that all the comps should be set to a linearized workflow 32 bits (or 16) with the workspace sRGB 2.1.

  So far, I found the colors to be more accurate than the default setting of AE and I love it. My problem is now a dynamic link with Premiere Pro.

  I'm working on a sequence sent to me for a VFX'ing. Using dynamic links facilitates the work between the 2 programs, but when I work with colors above management parameters, the resulting image in AE looks fine, but the image in first update is darker several notches.

  Is it possible for effective work through dynamic color management link between the 2 projects?

  Thank you very much.

  In fact, I advised you DO NOT linearize your workspace until you fully understand the linear workflow. Which, among other things, means that you should not workspace linearize in all EI projects. On the contrary, you have to understand when to linearize the and when not. This blogpost Stu Maschwitz, the link where I presented, contains many other links, including this one in the discussion on linear time to go.

  Your current issue focuses on the issue that neither PrPro or SOUL is manageable (aware color) application. It can be corrected in several ways:

  1 as Rick said, just disable linearize working space (it can ruin your correction of the current color as well).

  2. apply the Gamma Correction effect on your comp dynamically linked in the chronology of PrPro (which is not quite correct work around this problem, in fact).

  3. to not rebuild links dynamic before dialing which is in your linked dynamically comp now in another. In your linked comp dynamically updated go to the view menu and disable the use display color management. Apply on your layer demo and sRGB color profile converter, leaving entered a mode 'space project' by default output profile.

• 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.

• Color management B8850 is driving me crazy!

  Help, please!

  I use a mac 10.5.6 with the latest HP driver.

  When I try to print using a colorprofile I get very poor results! The color management system can not be disabled!

  First of all. Im trying to print using Photoshop CS3. In the PS print dialog, I select:

  -Color management in Photoshop

  -The color appropriate for my HP paper profile

  In the system settings, however, the option to deselect the color management (under paper/quality) is a party! I don't see this option when photoshop does not handle the colors!

  I post a picture, but I don't seem to be able to add one in this forum.

  Every help and FAQ always indicates that the color management wihtin should I disable the control panel of the printer. But I can't!

  If I use the settings colors are very bad! Please help, this is driving me crazy!

  Message edited by Calcool on 09/01/2009 13:16

  Yes, I found a solution. You must let the re-kalibrate printer out the print heads, putting them back in and restart the printer. HP phone support was very helpful.

• Pavilion 14-n204sf: Radeon 8670 current driver does not allow for color management

  Hi, this is my first post on the forum. The problem, I do face is quite simple: after I've updated 8670 M Radeon driver for my computer in August I immediately found that color management system was not working. Cannot use an ICC profile, impossible to calibrate a monitor (I tried X-Rite and the built-in Windows, both failed tool), any feature dealing with color management had simply disappeared from my machine and was replaced by an error message - aaargh!

  At the time I found that all the problems have disappeared as soon as I rolled back the Radeon driver to the previous (IE. July 2015) pilot and learned how Windows 10 not not trying the upgrade of this driver more. Of course, the problem was caused by a major bug in the new driver, but a simple tunraround should just continue to use the previous driver. So far so good.

  But now things have only become worse. Due to a problem with a software, I tried to find the current driver Radeon, which turned out to be the dreaded August version, with the result the same mess as before. When I tried to roll back this driver again for the July version working, I had the very bad surprise as (1) "Roll back driver" in the control panel is gray now as if there was no previous version, and (2) it is not possible to find the version of June on the website of HP - or elsewhere also.

  So: How/where can I get the driver of 8670 M Radeon dated July 6, 2015, so I can use my computer for my work in photography again? I can't believe that it is not possible.

  And of course, I have a second question: how is it that no new version of the driver has been released since August to set a such obvious flaw? I hope that someone will take the time to solve the problem and deliver a pilot fully working soon.

  Thank you very much in advance for your help.

  HI @jlb21,

  Thank you for your inquiry.

  I understand that when you install the graphics driver updated for Radeon 8670 M in August you have lost your color management system did not work.  Once you cancelled the driver in the device manage everything was good again.

  Because of a software problem, you must reinstall this driver. When you checked the Device Manager there is only the version of the driver available August and you do not have a roll back driver option.

  You can try to uninstall the driver and then search for the driver, try a Windows driver if available to determine if it would help.

  As you have 10 Windows installed I don't know if you still have the recovery partition. If not and you have recovery media, you can try following the steps described in the following document.

  Computers HP - using Recovery Manager to restore the software and drivers (Windows 8)

  If the driver in question was provided with your original operating system and you have no support for recovery, you can get a kit of HP support recovery.    You can ask if they can check if all drivers have been updated on the recovery kit that I don't know.  I don't know if they can verify this information, but it does not hurt to ask?

  Please contact HP to Contact HP Supportassistance.

  Please let me know the results.

  I work with the software digital painter on my laptop (satellite A210-171)
  Because my colors are not the same when printed (with the help of a printer of Dell A.I.O.) told me to check my Colour Management on laptop.

  I guess that your laptop uses the ATI graphics card. So, the ATI Catalyst Control Center should be available.
  Usually, you can set some parameters of color in ATI Catalyst Control Center-> color
