• For the printing of P.O.D.: how to set the Adobe RGB color space

  Hello and thank you in advance,

  (I use InDesign CS 5.5 on a Mac).

  I need set the appropriate PDF export settings

  To print a book on demand, with color drawings inside on the text pages.

  The instructions in Mandarin that I could find, say this:

  'Submit your graphics in color space Adobe RGB, integrated withprofile.'

  The big Question: how should I do that?

  I know enough to start with

  File-> Adobe PDF Presets-> print quality

  Then I click on the Menu 'output '.

  and this is where I start to get lost.

  for

  Color conversion...

  I think I should choose "convert to the Destination.

  for

  Destination

  I think it should be "Adobe RGB (1998).

  Now to incorporate this profile.

  What should I choose in virtue:

  Profile Inclusion policy?

  And is there anything else I should do to get these inside good printing color images?

  Thanks again,

  Virtually all digital printing is done via PostScript or PDF. In the first case, the PDF file is converted to use viat PostScript to Acrobat and in the latter case, the PDF file is sent directly to the digital printer.

  In both cases, CMYK is actually the real destination color space. There is no true RGB printer! What is true is that non-PostScript / non PDF (laser printers generally low range and inkjet printers as well as specialized sublimation photo printers inkjet and dye) take RGB via drivers and that convert to CMYK, but I don't think that's what you deal with.

  Our recommendation to Adobe for best printing results, whether for offset or digital, is to export PDF into PDF/X-4 with no color conversion using the default color CMYK (CMYK SWOP) space or if the contrary view of your print service provider, among other CMYK color spaces provided by Adobe or the print service provider themselves. FWIW, more peripheral to digital print on demand, have settings to fully emulate the SWOP CMYK printing requirements. The use of PDF/X-4 in this way allows the existing color in your document InDesign is properly tag in the output PDF file and converted to CMYK RIP the device level digital printing.

  (It may also help us if you can provide a pointer to the explicit instructions provided by your print service provider.)

• Can not unlock the profile sRGB color space drop, Help!

  I need to unlock the next file to install adobe cs4 on my windows vista system:

  C:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\color\sRGB Color Space Profile.icm

  I downloaded the program "unlocker 1.8.8" but when I try to run the file, I get a message "no locking handle found. I tried to "install profile" as well, but nothing happens when I press this option. Also, when I go in the file properties > security, it only allows me to add 'total control' to the 'system' or the 'administrators' account I am at a loss. Help, please!

  Thank you for your answer! I was able to install adobe cs4 without opening the file after all. I followed solution 6 on the adobe forums page you suggested above (adobe customer service offers I do solution 1 and 6 and since I could not with solution 1, I did solution 6) then quit all programs and restart the computer. I then leave all the start up programs and tried to install again and it worked (the program has been completely uninstalled before that I did). Thank you :-)

• Cannot change the document to CMYK color space

  After reading the referens Applescript for Adobe Illustrator CC 2015 and various wires I still can't understand how/where apply the command which converts all RGB to CMYK files

  Any ideas (script works otherwise excellent)

  the MyFolderA value ' / Users/AF/Desktop / "as string

  Tell application "Adobe Illustrator"

  activate

  Open (dittos as alias) without dialog boxes

  say an active document

  tell the end

  save the front document in file NouveauNomFichier like Illustrator

• Edition 4K mxf opacity bug contained in the S - LOG color space

  Steps to reproduce the Bug:

  1. place the two clips from mxf 4 K on your timeline, one in track 1, the other on track 2

  2. expand clip on track 2 on track 1

  3. you will see a ghost image of the clip on track 1 even when the opacity of the clip on track 2 is set at 100% and no blending mode or the effects are applied.

  It happens every time we edit mxf FS700 sony 4 K files little matter the timeline settings.

  The problem is still there even after that rendered or to export sequences but if you change the color of each clips of S - Log on Rec709 the bug disappeared.

  Here's a video showing the problem.

• HTML in PDF format ready to print with the CMYK color conversion

  How can I convert a webpage (html) as a PDF ready to print, including a RGB to CMYK conversion?

  I use a free trial of Acrobat DC. What I tried, is to use the browser button to convert HTML to PDF. I then open the document and go to the menu "Print Production. I expected to find the option "Convert colors", but he's not here. Help documentation indicates that this option is available only if you export your PDF file to a device "high-end". What is a high-end device? I use my laptop.

  (1) under the Production of printing tools, in the right pane, you will find the convert colors tool. That's what you're looking for. Its availability has nothing to do with what type of device you send the PDF file.

  (2) that said, converting the PDF to CMYK color space is not necessarily required to print. You certainly can print an RGB and/or the PDF to grayscale for a local or network PostScript laser printer, for example. What makes you think that you absolutely need CMYK for printing any other type? Each RIP/DFE these days can directly manipulate the RGB content.

• Need CMYK for printer... but the msg «document uses space mix CMYK...» "concerning

  Hi all

  I need to create PDF output which is the printer CMYK.

  I thought I did everything correctly until I got this message that was generated when I chose to export (in PDF format), "the document uses space CMYK. Are converted to RGB in interactive PDF files. To avoid color variations, click Cancel and choose Document RGB in the Edit > menu of the space of merger of transparencies. Click OK to continue. »

  So, I think it means that the PDF export is saved in a RGB color space. Is this a correct interpretation? If so, how do I preserve the CMYK color space because it is what needs the printer? Is it still possible or relevant?

  Thank you

  You shouldn't make an interactive PDF for the printer. Choose export and edit drop-down list type to PDF (Print) or use file > Adobe PDF presets > and choose your preset from the list.

• Projection of images and the question of the color space

  We are having a discussion in our photo club. We use a projector to project the images of the competition. For years, we used Faststone Viewer to project images. We have the usual problems of people not calibrate their monitors and sometimes the colors match does not, but it worked pretty well.  Now that the people who handle the projection are competent in LR, they use LR on a Windows laptop, to organize and display the images via the projector. The projector is a projector of sRGB VGA.  Some argue that LR will cause problems because it uses the Adobe RGB color space as the space of display colors. (We know that the native color space is ProPhoto). Others think it will display images in space sRGB color to the projector as you can when you export an image. I can't find anything in Adobe help pages on this subject.

  Here is a contribution to the debate to give you an idea of what some people are talking about:

  I understand that LR will send bits of images (in the Adobe RGB color space) to the Windows API and in turn the bits are returned on the LCD screen and exit VGA via LCD/VGA color profiles associated. That is my understanding of the viewer FastStone sends the image bits being without modification in the color space. LR sends the bits altered the Adobe RGB color space. Assuming that both programs require the same Windows API, the images must return the same, but they do not. My conclusion is that the former is in sRGB and the latter in Adobe RGB. I guess they call the same APIs because you can open a jpeg file in Windows Picture Viewer (applet in Win7) and see a different rendering of FastStone, it does not use the color managed API.

  Anyone who can shed some light on this delicate subject?

  You actually want an app like Lightroom or Bridge to view images on your projector and not the unmanaged faststone Viewer or something like. Lightroom translated correctly the image on the destination for the projector profile regardless of the original color of images space. It is best to calibrate them and profile projector in addition to your monitor. Some of the highest fine adjustment washers support projectors too. It is rare that these projectors really are sRGB. They are usually somewhat narrower. Some of the more recent are wider gamut when using LEDs or lasers instead of bulbs.

• After Effects crash when you change the color space to render the output

  Hi all

  My legacy crashes each time, if I want to change the color space in my rendering output. It doesn't matter what color space or what file. In this case since I have updated my version 13.8 sequelae.

  This is the error message:

  < 140735248756736 > < BEE_WorkQueue > < 5 > BEE_Project:TimestampGetNextZANZIBAR - 3: can not generate timestamp, frozen = 0, open = 0

  I tried to revert to the prior version of my support, but as soon as I open this version, he says, that I have to uninstall and then install this version again as error 1 appeared.

  Does anyone have some tips I can do? Either get it solved the problems of color space or how to install an older version of my support? I really need a color space in my rendered files.

  Thanks a lot for your help.

  This problem is fixed in update fixes after effects CC 2015.3 (13.8.1). This update, available now, can be installed by using the creative Office Cloud app, or by choosing Help > updates within any Adobe application.

• Color space removed when exporting with the "copyright and Contact Details Only"

  Hello

  When looking at why my JPGs looked more saturated in IE11 I finally discovered that besides all the metadata when you export, delete the tag of color space causing the major problems of color in IE11 and probably other browsers. I think it's a serious problem in the program and must be addressed. I use LR 5.6

  Sorry everyone. I just tested again and I put a good idea 2 and 2 together to come up with the wrong answer

• How can I convert in the NTSC color space?

  I'm at the graphic point to a Roku application that requires that colors spreads without danger in the SDTV NTSC color space. For example, I can't have true colours black white or real. They are not allowed.

  There is a space of RGB colors. When I create a new document in CS6, I choose this profile as the color space. However, I am still able to stick in the images that have a pure white in them. When I save the document for the web and devices, he always saves with pure white.

  I am sure I did this conversion in the past before, but I can't make it work in CS6. I tried going in Edition-> assign profile and Edit-> convert colors in profile, but in both cases, I'm still up to the end pure white.

  How is that possible?

  Hello

• Export of the correct Hex colors via script

  Hi all

  I need to export the fillColor of a paragraph via script style.

  I can get the fillColor of the paragraph style property and can also convert CMYK Hex. However, I realize that color in InDesign values in some color space of the document uses.

  My question is, is there a native API to convert the values of color for a web safe color value? If this is not the case, how can I go on the correspondences between colors?

  In addition, I see that Adobe knows internally to convert it to a good hex color (attached screenshot - note the color property in the export marking side). If I can't use some native API, is there a way to access the text in this pane?

  

  Thank you all in advance!

  Win! It worked!

  Here is the complete solution-

  Assuming that the original color is stored in a variable named color :

  var color = passedInColor; //the original color that we wish to convert.
  
  // Create a temporary color instance that we'll use to extract updated colorValues.
  var scratchColor = workingDoc.colors.add({
                           model: color.model,
                           space: color.space,
                           colorValue: color.colorValue
                      });
  
  // Now, we force adobe's internal color conversion mechanism to trigger by changing the scratchColor's color space.
  scratchColor.space = ColorSpace.RGB;
  var updatedValues = scratchColor.colorValue; // Updated values now has the properly mapped and converted RGB values.
  // You may need to round off the R, G and B values in the updatedValues array.
  // And that's it!

• How to use ICC based color space

  Hello

  The question is how to define a color in the color space ICC based?

  I tried with gState.strokeColorSpec.value.color table and it works very well when my based CIE color space is CMYK, but how when color space can be CMYKOG or RGB...?

  Kind regards

  William

  My code worked, I tested it using only the ICC based and the DeviceN.

  I don't know why, but the accident was on SetPDEContent.

  I found another solution to my problem, I put the ICCBased colorspace as default CMYK color space and it works fine.

  Thanks for your help

  Kind regards

• Lighroom color space

  What print to file or export in LR, can someone clarify if LR transforms the space of color for the profile selected, or is it simply to embed the specified profile?  To make things more confusing, knowing that the native LR color space is MelissaRGB, if the selected profile is built-in, what color space is images LR conversion for export or print in the file?  I know that there is the preference of surface-mounted to convert sRGB, ProPhoto, AdobeRGB when sending to Photoshop.  However, there is no preference for printing or export.

  Thank you all!

  "Embedded" is what is contained in the file. If it doesn't have a embedded profile, viewing programs must provide a default profile.

  Your editor has a default profile that it is configured to use. For LR ProPhotoRGB, PS is often AdobeRGB. When you load an image into the editor, where the profile in the file (embedded) does not match the profile of 'work' to the editor, you get a prompt for how to resolve the incompatibility:

  -use the content profile (incorporated) in the file, or

  -convert the profile from the profile of 'work' to the editor file.
