Photoshop - Second monitor color management

• On the 2nd monitor color management

  In the file of Lightroom_3_help.pdf ("update 03/12/2010') provided with LR3 (p22 low), it is said:

  «Note: Lightroom does not color - the view from the library on the second monitor module.»

  Is this correct?

  I have two monitors: one about the Adobe RGB (a HP LP2475w) range and the other about sRGB (an old Samsung), as well calibrated and profiled.  However, if the same image is displayed in library view on both, the colors displayed on the second monitor are virtually identical to those on the first.  It's true, no matter who is the main screen of LR and that is the second monitor.  But if Lightroom isn't a not color-managed the second monitor, the image would be likely sent as ProPhoto, which seems very very pale any monitor were the other.  Even though Lightroom has made the image as sRGB always on the second monitor, then there will be a significant difference when the monitor range were the second monitor (apparently not managed).

  Anyone can shed some light on this?  My tests suggest that the second control is managed by color.

  The display is fully color managed on both screens for me. It must be

  supported the monitors thus or otherwise second would be completely useless. It's

  that is trivial to do so as long as your profiling solution supports it

  true for all Macs and most modern windows machines. To me, this looks like to the

  Manual is simply false and the s sentence a vestige of when they first

  added bi-ecrans support. I remember there being color bug

  with it, then where he could catch the wrong profile display. It comes

  clearly not true anymore.

• 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)

• The operation of the Photoshop color management

  Hey guys!

  I spent some time, research and try to understand the inner workings of the Photoshop color management and met much information unclear and contradictory, especially in what concerns the test format. I think I thought that some of them out, but (for ease of my sleep) I thought to ask direct questions, just to be sure. I guess it's more of a curiosity thing.

  I'm on a Mac OS X 10.8, Photoshop CS6, monitor calibrated from the standard range, working in sRGB for the web.

  (1) what I have gathered, to get a specific color as possible on my screen, all I have to do is the workspace sRGB or have images with embeded sRGB tag and including my calibrated monitor profile ICC loaded in OS X. In this way, all the images and colors in Photoshop will respect sRGB and my calibration profile will ensure that my monitor is in fact the correct sRGB color display (for as long as it's still capability). Fix?

  (2) I have met many 'practical advice' where people mention using the format of test > Monitor RGB as a way to monitor the colors for the web and then I saw people saying that's not true. As I understand it, the function of monitor RGB strips the tag embeded and does not take into account the workspace of the image, instead showing you the RGB values in the 'native' of the screen color space, which in my case would be sRGB-ish. Photoshop color management, but not the profile of calibration of displayaround a bit. Fix?

  (3) when the viewing a tag image sRGB, activating / disabling the test format: RGB Monitor on and outside has absolutely no effect. Am I right to assume that this is because the sRGB tag is getting 'off', but since the monitor is standard gamut, the native color space is always sRGB?

  What I find weird is when I change the display profile in OS X to my only calibrated for, for example, a generic RGB, activating / disabling the test format: Monitor RGB effect - changes in brightness of picture visibly. If my above hypothesis was correct, it shouldn't happen, right? Where my confusion.

  Thank you!

  Many people overcomplicate it. It's actually very simple.

  1 Photoshop converts on the fly from the document on the monitor profile profile. As long as the monitor profile is an accurate description of the screen, it shows correctly regardless of the original document profile. That's the whole point of the color management, translation of one color space to another aspect/goal of maintaining.

  There is no particular reason to work in sRGB just because your monitor is (or close). However, you will not see directly the colors in the file that are outside of the monitor range.

  2. waterproofing to Monitor RGB is a quick test to see how the image appears without any color at all management. I guess it could be useful in some cases, when you need consistency to accuracy. Other than that, it is completely useless, that it shows what it looks like on your system. And anyway, there is no reason today not to use fully color managed browsers.

  3. Waterproofing is an extra turn to the conversion mentioned above. The point is to limit the range to test the profile, so that you can see this cutting will do to the image. It will documents profile > profile proof > monitor profile. If the profile of evidence has a range equal to or greater than the monitor profile, you will see no difference.

  Important point to keep in mind: If the profile source and destination are the same, no conversion happens and color management is by definition disabled or disabled.

  The first part of the string of audit, document evidence, may be a "convert" or "assignment". Convert maintains appearance, while assign run numbers, but changes its appearance. It's the checkbox 'Keep the numbers' in the proof Setup dialog box.

• 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.

• How to print with no. COLOR MANAGEMENT in Photoshop CS6

  Hello

  I tried to print an i1Profiler target so I can read with my i1Pro and create a profile of the printer, but no matter what I do, there is no way to get photoshop to provide a profile when printing. I tried to select printer handles color and then put the printer driver in the MANAGEMENT of OFF COLOR (seemed to me this would disable both the printer color management and color management photosbop). Tried to print this way (and many other ways) but NO SOLUTION - the impressions are VERY different from the on-screen display (which is in a correctly profiled Apple monitor) and they did resemble those with a selected profile.

  I also tried the Adobe Color Printer Utility Utility and same results!

  I use an EPSON Stylus Pro 7900 I just bought.

  Help, please

  The key here is to really actually go ahead and print the target of i1Profiler to your printer... in the graphical Test Panel, create the staff and click on print instead of Save as. As long as you have the size of the page defined in the layout, you should get a target Specifies printer to read. According to the patches how you have defined, this may take a few pages, but they will be correctly formatted for playback with the i1Pro...

• 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.

• 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.

• My photos in Photoshop and Lightroom are showing very red, but they actually print ok, I tried to change the settings of the color management in Photoshop but it makes no difference.

  Could be a broken monitor profile. Switch display icc profile Adobe RGB or sRGB standard if you have a normal screen space, if you have a screen wide gamut. If this is useful, it is likely that a broken profile.

  In addition, the only way to make sure you see what looks like an impression (on your screen) is to use a unit of calibration as a Culor Munki or Spyder.

• Can you recommend a second monitor for Photoshop?

  I currently run Photoshop CC (2015) and Lightroom CC (2015) on a Windows 7 PC connected to a monitor 24 '' single calibrated.  I thinking about moving to a dual display configuration and your recommendation in regard to the monitor type and size are concerned.  I would use the screen 24 "for the image and the second for tool palettes.   I don't have a huge amount of space on my desk, so size is a factor.  How small is too small and what size would be an exaggeration?

  Also, are there any problems with Lightroom in a double display setup?  The main screen can be used for the grid and Loupe view?

  I can't speak for LR, but I think most of the regular posters on this forum use at least two screens.  Also have more space to display your image, it is extremely effective to have your main panels always open.  You can stroke a path with a simple mouse click, record a path by dragging the icon of the new path and do much the same thing with the channels.  You have the place to set all thumbnails of Large Panel makes it easier to see the contents of a layer in a blink of an eye, and you can make room for more long layer names.

  I note that say you that you don't have much space, then have you considered using the second monitor in portrait mode?  It is very easy with Windows 7 and 8.1.  What I would say is seeking a 16:10 screen and probably with a resolution of 1920 x 1200.  You would find that tightening three columns panels in a widescreen 1080 does not work well if you go with portrait mode.

  Regarding the size, I use three screens now, with a 30-inch 1920 x 1200 main screen and two 1920 x 1200 in portrait mode, one or the other side.  I'm sorry, I don't have a dual monitor workspace to show you (I lost him in a recent system crash) but this is my work space triple screen.  Click to see full size and spent in Photoshop to have a correct idea of the layout.  Note I like to keep things like character, source of duplication etc. near the image, but with a simple click on the active icon / disables open them and click on another farm.

  

  With respect to the screens, personally, I have a LG, HP and Dell, and I definitely prefer the HP.  It is brighter, clearer and whiter.

  

  Ex forum regular Christmas Carboni has a sharper screen presentation of the three.

  

  Thing to note is that I sometimes plug my Cintiq 2 companion in this set upwards.  The CC2 has a widescreen 2500 pixels, which meant that he would not slot nicely with the other three screens.  I discovered that if I placed the CC2 below other screens so that the a gap between it and the main screen, the cursor of may not cross this gap and is trapped in the three first screens or CC2.  Reducing the resolution CC2 1920 x 1080 solved this problem, and I can see what is on the tiny screen of 13 inches to this resolution as well.

• Photoshop color management

  Hi all

  I noticed a small problem (which is probably my fault).  My color for some reason settings are all extinct.

  When I open a document in my preview of the BONE, the colors are as it should.  When I opened the document in Photoshop, the colors are all off saturated and muted.  When I use 'Save for web', which gives me a preview colors come back and save under the name properly, as they looked in the operating system preview.

  What is happening here and how can I do Photoshop open images as it should with no discolouration.  In my color profile settings, the only one who comes close is if I change it to "monitor colors.

  Thanks again in advance!

  -Patrick

  Set your display profile (in operating system settings) so that it matches your actual display.

  Right now your display profile does not match your screen and Photoshop tries to compensate for the incorrect display.
