Soft proofing and color profile

Dear all,

problems shall comply with archival ink jet print places I tried. I am now looking at "soft proofing" which I think is not without her pearls. The problems I've experienced before where the images were no converted the profile is that sometimes they would print at great expense properly and sometimes they would not, again at great cost. If the image is converted to the correct profile, in this case Hahnemule, will the embedded profile that the image will print consistently and 2 different days?

Images must be in Adobe RGB (1998) or sRGB, in both cases with

embedded profiles, but only one type for each poster.

The printer must apply 'Use integrated source profile' mode and a

Destination profile which is valid for the paper and the printing process itself.

Hahnemühle says almost nothing.

A few parameters: weight in g/m², resolution in dpi, dithering mode

(pixelation), CMYK or CMYK + LightC, + LightM, or other combinations with

several grays, or to Orange and green. Given the fact that inkjet

In addition, often use a profile of linearization, there is a good chance of

Errors of the operator.

This should be fixed in advance. Then the appropriate profile can be used

for ever.

IMHO, a wedge of FOGRA control is used for the printing of the evidence,

which means "simulate the appearance of offset printing with inkjet.

At least I use the corner of control in this situation. It requires a

spectrophotometer, incidentally.

In all cases of doubt I would print a typical image with well known appearance

in the same process.

For example, p.4 / p.5 here:

Regarding the last post #3: If the print operators are not familiar with

color profiles, then the situation is desperate.

  • Soft Proofing and adjustment brush / Spot removal problems

    Hello

    Since the last update (at least I think) to 6.5 that I have a problem when soft proofing is turned on. In particular, the adjustment brush and the brush of spotting does not work smoothly. The first problem is that when you try to make smaller or larger brush (keyboard and Tablet) the brush shows the size have immediately brush outside the window or click on the image to see the size of the brush (brush of detachment and adjustment) and the cash withdrawal is very slow and if I want to spend the part I want to remove to make it better appearance it does not update immediately when moving. Also when using either the computer fans brush starts to kick in and work hard. Tried two GPUs and extinguish the same result. but as I turn soon soft proofing off the coast of the brushes as planned work and also the fans to stay out of

    so if someone has problems with these two brushes you might want to look into the option to see if Proofing is enabled

    I have not noticed this. However, I usually do all my withdrawal in cash without proofing turned on. Normally, the only thing I do when the soft proofing is set things like saturation, lights and shadows. Things that affect the overall appearance of printing based on the book that I use. What are the specifications of your computer? OS, RAM, etc.

  • Relationship of Bit depth and color profile

    Can someone explain what the relationship between the color of a file profile and he has little depth, if there is a relationship?

    It is not a. Bit depth tells you how many nuances a pixel can have (256 shades of gray in an image in 8-bit grayscale) while the color profile tell you how this pixel looks really (he transforms a number like 255/0/0 in a specific shade of red in the case of sRGB)

    I just started to have the blue screen with an X, developing mode, while the soft proofing and seeking the warnings of the range. Proofing also no longer works (image remains the same). Recently made "Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update" and recently upgraded to El Capitan, and this issue seems to be passed eventually. Since having the problem, I've just updated to the latest version of LR, nothing helps. With the help of iMac (mid-2010) with a lot of memory... everything worked fine last week. Here is the system of information displayed on the performance tab in the preferences of LR:

  • [LR 5] Soft Proofing - Gamut Warning monitor vary with the profile of the printer?

    Hello

    There is something that I do not understand when you use the function of gentle fermentation in LR.

    The monitor Gamut Warning feature (top left icon of the histogram when Proofing is enabled) is supposed to show us what colors in the image can be reproduced on the screen. Right? If I understand correctly, the warning is calculated by comparing the current image (virtualized by LR in the Melissa RGB color space) to the display range (read active calibration profile).

    Then why LR different show "out of gamut" areas for display when I change the profile of the printer selected when using soft proofing? It's not logical for me.

    I missed something?

    Thanks in advance.

    Indeed, they are vague on this issue. My thinking on the subject comes to converse with people from Adobe here and elsewhere, as I'm sure that I'vce has discussed this issue on the forum before. As far as I know the caution monitor is supposed to be calculated after the conversion to the profile of the printer so that you get an idea if the soft resistant color is displayed accurately. This must be the correct behavior as waterproofing can really take a color either in or out of the monitor range. I'm not 100% sure on it though, but definitely, he explains how he behaves.

    Also, if you calibrate your screen and write a display icc v4 profile, the situation changes once again as today the display profile can actually contain a perceptual rendering intent, making it even less accurate and the assumption of simple linear conversions one-to-one between color spaces is not valid. Some calibration software packages do however, but there are a few exceptions.

    If you want to know if your image is outside the display profile, you can indeed deceive the test to allow you to select a display as the printer proofing profile profile. In principle, you can select a standard workspace such as prophotoRGB it and get results that make sense. But you certainly don't want to have a random printer profile chosen for the reasons cited above. I guess they could add some tricks to detect that you have selected the profile of the current view and not one profile of another to randomly display and then collapse the interface, but it's a case of edge I doubt Adobe would give priority to this. It works very well so simply, you realize that you have selected your profile screen like the printer proof profile.

  • Convert to profile & Soft Proofing.

    Hello

    My apologies if this has been requested and replied. Some responses on proofing looked on the forums has helped, but not hit the nail on the head.

    I am grateful for the ideas, instructions, pointers.

    I. According to the instructions of the printer that prints my work, I have converted my image profiles to Dot Gain 20%. I want to assure you that I see on my screen will have a) be a tight that she (woman, the print job) will see on his screen. and (b) give me an idea of how the print job and the printer (Espson stylist Pro 4800) will interpret. It is logical to me that I should change my format of test for Dot Gain 20%, no?  Have I not this wrong?

    II. I also need to do a series of JPEG files which will be visible on a variety of screens, each with a different brand and calibration. These JPEG files should be as convincing a match to print as possible, with compensation, of course, carried out for the paper, ink, etc. The game should be close. Is there a standard for ever which will allow me to see what is likely to appear on a given screen. An order, I know. I was wondering if I should just inform viewers to display JPEG images with their monitors, assign a certain color profile - or if I should send them a monitor profile as well as JPEG files.

    Thank once again for ideas.

    Hardware: iMac 27 "; Native Gamma 2.2. CS6.

    A little guide:

    You will need a valid of monitor profile (MP) and a printer profile (PP) for

    Epson 4800 for a printing (ink, paper, well-defined resolution process

    and much more).

    If your impression people do not have a profile, and then not to print from there.

    A PP contains everything about the Dot Gain.

    Let the images in sRGB (sRGB workspace)

    Edit by PhS until it looks nice

    In the event, choose your PP

    Rendering Intent Relative Colorimetry, Black Point Compensation

    Observe the changes of the image, Soft Proof on / off

    Failure to comply with the warning range, using a color of alarm

    If the changes are strong or / and if the Gamut Warning zones are large

    (not only highlights or some leaves on the trees), then change your image.

    This can be explained by simple means.

    If the image looks nice and save with sRGB embedded profile

    and leave it to print, using exactly the defined printer process previously.

    Test is done by software, here Photoshop, for simulated hardware.

    which is entirely defined by the PP.

    sRGB is a de facto standard for the Web.

    If your images are in a colorful way, then it could be recommended

    working entirely in AdobeRGB (1998) = ARGB.

    Image in aRGB, work space ARGB.

    You can do this after the clarification of this issue with the impression people. Of course

    the aRGB profile must be incorporated, but even in this case, there is a good chance

    the people of print is not familiar with profiles and assumes sRGB as

    Profile of the source.

    Putting, you would need two versions - one for printing, one for the Web.

  • color for web and print profiles

    Hello

    I'm editing photos from my digital SLR. They were shot as jpg in Adobe RGB. I'm editing photos for both web and print right now and I was wondering if there is a way to do so that I would be able to change for both at the same time in the process of Photoshop.

    Here are the details for what I usually do:

    For printing, I would work in AdobeRGB photos while the check option has the working CMYK value (usually SWOP, depending on which printer I use). Then I would flatten the work, resize and sharpen and change the color to CMYK mode, save as TIFF.

    For the web, I used to edit while RGB color settings are defined in sRGB IEC61966 - 2.1 and verification is set to RGB monitor. I flattened, resize and sharpen and save for Web.

    Is it possible that I can edit a single photo (shot in Adobe RGB) so that they can be used for BOTH print and web? I know CMYK or RGB would mean they would end in search of different end, but is be possible that I can have a single Photoshop file for the photo and go through the steps needed to make it ready for printing and for the web... or because of the color profiles and linguistic verification options , there is nothing I can do but to edit each photo twice?

    Thanks in advance to anyone who might be able to help.

    First of all I suggest you just started shooting RAW not Jpeg.

    then personally I work in AdobeRGB. I place my PSD AdobeRGB in ID and the CMYK conversion is done when I do my PDF. for web work I convert to sRGB when I use save for Web. Do not use your monitor profile color proof for the web like that you have the correct monitor profile.

  • U2413 - factory Color Calibration and ICC profiles

    Hi, I just bought a U2413. I need for photography. There is nothing on profiles ICC U2413 DELL that was installed with the software in the documentation. And please note that I have not (yet!) a calibrator. I need to configure the best without calibrator... using the factory calibration.

    I hope you can make it clear, to me, how it works.

    The monitor has different MODES BUILT-IN, such as:
    -Color space sRGB
    -Color space ARGB
    -Standard
    -Game, etc.

    Which mode is the one that has been calibrated at the factory?
    What mode should I use in order to have the results of color?
    I see that there is no DELL U2413 color profile, D6500, which is associated with the monitor (I can see it in the control panel). I think it is good to have this setting. Can you please confirm?

    Do I set up the U2313 DELL ICC profile also to programs like Canon Digital Photo Professional, or as long as it is in Windows, it is not necessary? [Item 3 of this screenshot]. I see that if I put profile DELL in Canon DPP the colors of the photos appear much colder.

    Thank you

    If you do not have access to an i1DisplayPro/Color munki display a yo do not have the possibility to calibrate (not even in GPU with the munki:)

    factory calibrated
    -sRGB: 50 50 brightness contrast. You can use standard sRGB.icm, once lower you it up to 120cd/m (20-25% brightness) you will lose the white point calibration.

    -AdobeRGB: contrast 50 50 brightness. You can use standard AdobeRGB1998.icm (complatible or ones like Clay1998.icm), once lower you it up to 120cd/m (20-25% brightness) you will lose the white point calibration but less than sRGB. For color management programs and without perhaps a colorimeter its your safest choice, do not forget to assign and activate an Adobe1998.icm/Clay1998.icm in Control Panel of Windows to your monitor while you're in this preset OSDdevice.

    The other preset OSD are not calibrated at the factory.

    -standard is delivered with the native range (as described in U2413.icm of pilots) and native white (whie 6700-7000K with a strong green tint)

    -Custom is delivered with the native range (as described in U2413.icm of pilots) and native white (whie 6700-7000K with a strong green tint), but you have access to the parameters of "custom colors". 20-25% brightness, contrast 50%, and R = 100, G = 91 = 97 peut give you near D65 white and 2.26 "grow" gamma (cose to 2.2 or sRGB but I guess it comes with a ramp to a same gray except calibrated). Try these setings and activate U2413.icm in this preset custom of the OSD.

    And get an i1DisplayPro, you really need.

    Canon DPP regarding:

    2 refers to the "default" image profile
    3 to view the profile (so the DPP can distort the RGB values in the image to represent this color in what that is the range to your screen). Once you set a dile icm as 'default' in the control panel-> color management-> your device it shoud check the option "use operating system settings" (I think, I don't have any owm a canon camera)
    5 a your printer profile, a profile for each combination of inkjet paper
    6. keep this, perceptual is generally more 'alive' than the actual image
    7 I think takes forever with Canon programs (but I am not a canon camera, so I have not tried their meaning), keep the same as 6

  • created the color profile loading

    Hello

    I had this problem before.

    I work with Imac end 2015 retina 4K and the operating system's EL Capitan.

    Photoshop CC 2015-5

    I created a new profile of color with a spyder 2 (I ordered a new color Munky, incidentally)

    and the software I used was Displaycal 5.

    When I open a file with overview of the Mac, the colors and the contrast is perfect.

    When I open the same file with the Adobe Bridge or Photoshop CC 2015 products

    the contrast is far from bright and the colors are not correct.

    Now, I guess to see the new file created color in bridge color settings according to a tutorial.

    But right now, I don't see the new color profile.

    In the workspaces from photoshop, I see the profile, but no matter what I do the photo are much to high heat.

    In the past with my old Mac and earlier versions of photoshop, I never had this problem.

    The colors and contrast have been even the glimpse of the I mac.

    I really hope you can help me.

    Thank you very much

    View > proof > Monitor RGB turns off the whole display color management chain. It's his goal (insofar as it is never desirable). In short, turn off and leave it off.

    Different color-managed applications display differently, there is a problem with the display profile. All color management applications should display always the same, regardless of the profile/the document workspace. That is the question to have a color display managed pipeline.

    Redo the whole process, make sure you that have all the settings as you wish. I have not used Dispcal/Argyll in quite awhile, but it is a fairly large and complex software piece.

    A small difference between the apps that are color management and not, is normal and expected. What is the size that the difference is, depends on the characteristics of the screen in question.

    That said, the sensor Spyder 2 useless next with modern LED and wide range of displays, and despite this, the overall accuracy was not very good at first. So you can wait until you get the new sensor.

  • What sRGB profile to use (HP sRGB profile ICC PCBS, ICCnoBPC and no profile)?

    Hello world

    Can I ask something from you guys? I have a question to which no one can seem to answer.

    I don't know which is the best profile to use - the sRGB profile HP, ICC sRGB PCBS, the sRGB ICC with no PCBS, or no profile (just marked as sRGB colorspace).

    They are all sRGB_IEC61966-2, but the sRGB HP who is originally from older versions of CS (and perhaps newer?) does not specify if it's PCBS or nonBPC.

    I noted several things (and I know little about color profiles, so please excuse my ignorance):

    (1) Firefox displays all profiles in the same way, except noBPC is shown with lighter blacks

    (2) adobe seems to represent the PCBS sRGB and sRGB HP in the same way?

    (3) some people suggest to use no profile, marking just the metadata for say sRGB

    (4) the site of the ICC said that color profiles more V2 on the www are black-scaled; other sites seem to say that it is the opposite: that PCBS is something new for most of the people who save sRGB V2...

    (5) PCBS = black scaling.

    Help ! I am completely at a loss for what is the way most future-proof to do. Every road seems to be a disadvantage.

    Any help would be great

  • Use of on Satellite U300 ICM color profiles

    I've got U - 300 Satellite + Win XP. I use specially generated IMAGE color profile to my screen using Spider. I downloaded this addon rom Web sites allowing me to use the product. ICM file and it works.

    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.
