Should I convert Prophoto RGB to sRGB in the Lightroom print module?

My question is about my image sending over for my Epson printer via the Lightroom print Module: when I'm ready to print from Lightroom (after the back and forth-Photoshop and back) I have a final image in Prophoto RGB ready to print. Lightroom manages print colors (not the printer). I'm supposed to do a final conversion of ProPhoto RGB to sRGB in the Lightroom-print module, before sending it to my printer Epson R3000? If yes I can't find how do in the print module.  I just sent the Prophoto RGB image for the printer Epson R3000 via printing from Lightroom module being (Lightroom manages color, not the printer). Am I missing a final in sRGB conversion and all simply not seen how via the print module?

PLEASE READ:

(1) I KNOW do Lightroom and the paper profile, manage the color and not to let the printer manage. It all works very well.

(2) I KNOW not if I export a jpg on the web (do not print) convert to sRGB in the export dialog box.

(3) I correctly my color spaces selected as ProPhoto RGB in my preferences of Lightroom and Photoshop, everything works fine.

(4) my EIZO monitor is calibrated, I use appropriate document profiles.

Forgive me if listing these things seems obnoxious, it is not my intention. I find that give lots of information is useful to those who might respond.

Thanks in advance.

I've never felt the need to convert. I have mild in using the profile paper appropriate to the evidence and then let Lightroom it's thing. Is there something wrong with the prints you do what makes you think that you need to convert?

  • Conversion of ProPhoto RGB profile sRGB. Major SHIFT of color

    Hello
    Just had a nightmare experience with print lab. Picture a) with Lightroom ProPhoto RGB profile completely different color image duplicated b) from Photoshop in the sRGB profile. When you open the Lightroom file in Photoshop, it keeps the ProPhoto profile. With Lightroom Preferences dialog box indicates that the profile should be ProPhoto not sRGB. If I convert profile after the opening image upward in photoshop for the worse color changes. However, if I change the profile in Lightroom preferences all is fine.

    So what am I supposed to do? Y at - it somewhere where it is explained in easy to understand English and no tec?

    The only time where it changes color spectacular is when you set a profile in the Edit menu.

    Oh my. I thought you said convert?

    No, never give up. This will change the colors. Entitlement is used if you get images without any embedded profile - or, very rarely, if you think that the file has the wrong embedded profile. Entitlement is really an option expertise - leave it alone unless you know what you're doing.

    Convert to profile is what you normally do.

    Oh, and it's always a bad idea to 'play' with the Photoshop color settings. That will lead you inevitably more and deeper problems. Yet once unless you know what you're doing, always keep the color to the default settings. That "works".

  • Why "Saved for Web" ProPhoto RGB files with "Convert to sRGB" show picked up as "no label" after registration?

    For years, I managed my entire workflow to sRGB, thinking if I can make a picture look in sRGB, it is gold in another color space.  Lately, however, I started shooting in Adobe RGB and control my image in ProPhoto RGB.  When I save an image for the web, using the menu item "save for Web", then check the box that says "Convert to sRGB", the images are fine, but when I check the color profile in Bridge, it says "Untagged", not sRGB IEC61966 - 2.1, as I'm used to.  I'm doing something wrong, or is this normal?

    Thank you!

    In the Save dialog box for web you have embed color profile verified in addition to convert to sRGB?

    If you work mainly for printing AdobeRGB seems a good choice, if you work primarily for the web, I would recommend to use sRGB.

  • My color, setting for LR and PS is ProPhoto RGB. If I want to export my photos and place them on OneDrive or watch on TV of the photo, can I change the color setting in sRGB?

    My color, setting for LR and PS is ProPhoto RGB. If I want to export my photos and place them on OneDrive or watch on TV of the photo, can I change the color setting in sRGB?

    In general, I would recommend sRGB, if images must be consulted on the screens of TV or PC monitors. sRGB is usually the universal profile for sharing photos on the web. If you want to share your images on a single disc, most of the people will see their best, without changes in color, with an sRGB profile.

    So it really depends on your goal. You use a player for sharing and viewing on backup and storage devices.

    Were you not satisfied by the answers you got this question on Luminous Landscape forum? I will repost mine here:

    ---

    You should always incorporate the profile. With the notable exception of Internet Explorer (which seems to be a lost cause), most browsers now manage well of color management. At least Safari and Firefox both do.

    Save for Web in Photoshop always band profile with default settings, you will need to check the "embed color profile". This setting sticks. Personally, I think it's well past time to change this default, but that's it.

    While you're there, check "Convert to sRGB" and set to "use the embedded profile. This shows you the image with full color management (using the monitor profile to display). Here still SFW uses an obsolete default from the old days, when browsers were not color management.

    If you use a range wide screen a few special considerations come in and in Firefox, a manual adjustment has be activated (color management mode 1) *.

    Regarding resizing, I have no particular opinion. SFW seems to do well. But you should do a final sharpening after resizing, that needs to be done in Photoshop anyway, so he can probably handle resizing too. Construction while some actions and you are ready.

    Firefox users should enable this setting in all cases, regardless of monitor they use. What it does is assign sRGB to any untagged material. This allows full color management chain, instead of just go directly to the screen unmanaged. IOW, even color management on hardware untagged, so long as it is created in sRGB with sRGB numbers.

  • Save the offsets of colors by activating / disabling out ProPhoto RGB in the course

    I'm working on a portrait with the following specifications

    8-bit/channel

    300 dpi

    TIF

    When I do a backup as there is a check mark in the box that says ' ICC profile: ProPhoto RGB.  The printer wants the picture saved as sRGB, so I uncheck the ProPhoto and save without layers.  When I opened the file is saved, he has a terrible gray color to the photo cast.

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    Maybe you DON'T THINK that you work in the sRGB color space, because you can be misinterpreted the parameters.

    Use the small field of status at the bottom left of your work area to see which profile is actually using the document.

    To change the profile of your use of the documents to Edit - convert to profile, set - or - use the file - Save for Web & devices function with the option [] convert to sRGB .

    The Camera Raw Converter can be configured to open a document in one of the several color spaces - I think you have your expected to open in the ProPhoto RGB color space.

    Moreover, I still normally the following boxes checked in the Photoshop color settings to remind me when I open a document that is not in my favorite sRGB color space.

  • PSC6 black artifacts Conversion RGB and sRGB on Dell

    Hi guys, I recently changed pc and monitor causing a bloody problem with these color spaces!

    My monitor is a Dell u2412m and by default it is set to:

    Immagine3.jpg

    Now when I open a RAW with ACR file and choose sRGB as the color space, the result is the following:

    Immagine2.jpg

    As you can see, the majority of the photo shows black shadows. If I save the file and open it with the windows image, it is perfect. Indeed, if I choose ProPhoto for monitor and for photo viewing is very good:

    Immagine.jpg

    I need to change the same RGB or sRGB color space before saving the final image so I really want a real Preview in photoshop to itself instead of saving first. If the problem occurs when I'm recording in RGB (less artifacts) and sRGB (lots of artifacts!). I don't understand this because I use the same default color for my monitor space. Any guess?

    The pc configuration is:
    Intel i7 3770

    Beta driver Ati ATI HD7870 12.11

    16 GB of RAM

    It is probably this problem:

    I don't know what to select in the advanced options... I've tried both - Print as Bitmap flattening and transparency: high resolution and both gave the same results.

    I'm on Mac OS X 10.5.8

    The printer driver, in the 'Color Matching' section there are only 2 options: ColorSync and EPSON color controls.

    Looks like I need to select one of them even when adjusting the color in the color settings is disabled. Who would be the right one?

    I gave up on Epson a while and moved so I'm not sure of their drivers. But I guess you want to use Epson color controls and find the setting for no. color management. I hope that some here know well 7880 drivers and can help out.

  • "Print booklet" convert to RGB without my permission

    I think it's only a recent thing that indesign has decided to start making me (using the CS6 on a Windows 7 machine, if that makes a difference).

    I have an original PDF of a customer who is 100% CMYK. When I import InDesign pages, then print brochure, all images are converted to RGB in the PDF file. It's using the same profile settings, as I would normally just export (CMYK, us Web Coated SWOP v2) still works fine on the same file. It is that when I print Basic that he decided to RGB of the thing. Only the images; text, boxes, stroke etc. are always CMYK.

    Why it does this, and how it stop? Simply convert the colors later in Acrobat is not enough, because it's the 'black' on a black background CMYK RGB conversion.

    This isn't about the settings that you have in InDesign or the print booklet dialog box, it is on the printer properties virtual Adobe PDF (the driver settings). By default, the printer uses the smallest size of file, as the preset, I think (I changed my default years ago), then you must change the settings in the proerties of the printer through Windows, or the driver of the printer setup dialog box after accessing booklet to print.
