Photoshop :: Convert To Profile And Soft Proofing
Nov 19, 2012
I. Per the instructions of the printer who's printing my work, I've converted my image profiles to Dot Gain 20%. I would like to make sure that what I'm seeing on my screen will a) be a close match to what she (the woman printing the work) will see on her screen; and b) give me a sense of how the printer (Espson Stylist Pro 4800) will interpret and print the work.I should change my Proof Setup to Dot Gain 20%, no?
II. I also need to make a set of jpegs that will be seen on a variety of screens, each of a different make and calibration. These jpegs need to be as convincing a match to the print as possible, with allowances, of course being made for paper, ink, etc. The match has to be close. Is there a standard for softproofing that will allow me to see what's likely to appear on a given screen. A tall order, I know. Wondering if I should just inform the viewers to view the jpegs with their monitors set to a certain color profile--or if I should send them a monitor profile along with the jpegs.

having problems getting consistent archival inkjet prints from the places I have tried. I am now looking at 'soft proofing' which I suspect is not without its pearls. The problems I experienced before where the images were not converted to the correct profile was that sometimes they would print out,
at great cost correctly and sometime they would not, again at great cost. If the image is converted to the correct colour profile, in this case Hahnemule, will the embedded profile that the image will be printed out consistently and 2 different days?

Photoshop CS6 on Mac.
Edit an image file and get it to where I like on the monitor.Duplicate the file and set the new file to the profile for the printer which will be used, by using View > Proof Setup > Custom and setting an imported printer profile for the printing company that I use.
Edit the soft proof file to get it to where it looks good again. Save off the file for the printer and also save the new PSD file.
Close the PSD file.Reopen the new (soft proofed) PSD file.Still looks good, but.... when you check View > Proof Setup it's now generally set to Custom: U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2 instead of to the imported printer profile which was set previously. WHY???? Where did the printer profile go? Is it supposed to do this?
If I then reset View > Proof Setup to the correct printer profile, the image goes to crap again.

If I adjust hue/saturation to turn off the warning indicators when soft proofing is ON for sRGB, is the result on my calibrated monitor screen the colours that are sent to Blurb via Book module and the colours that will print? I read forums stating disappointing results in Blurb publishing through LR4.

I am working in LR4 with soft proof. I set up a photo but somehow got "caught" on the screen in the Develop module. My photo is on the screen after working with it, but I cannot budge it and when I go to print it thr Print module is blank and I cannot print the photo. How can I get out of this bind?

I soft proofed several photos for printing. I came back to print another copy and the virtual copy proofing copy was gone. There used to be 2 side by side. Now to print do I have to readjust?

ACR 8.1 allows CC users to soft proof in CMYK and LAB color spaces. LR 5.2 will have ACR 8.2 capabilities, so will we be able to soft proof in these spaces as well?

definitive function and use of the X/Y split colour numbers in the LR soft proofing histogram?
It's the only function inside of Lightroom that I can't figure out - is it a point sample between original and proof, or an area sample?
And whatever it is, what are you supposed to do with the info; you can't "lock" a sample point a la Photoshop can you.
There must be some prescribed method of usage for the info, otherwise why is it there?

I was wondering if there is a way to do batch processing for soft proofing different pictures similar to the sync functionality? I created a customer user preset however it seems to copy over the existing settings vs updating the +/-'s in the different areas. For example, I have a bunch of photos from different scenarios, events, actions, times, etc..
When I am soft proofing to a custom profile, looks like I just need to apply a few universal tweaks to WB (+100), exposure (+20, maybe +30), contrast (+10), blacks (-10), and clarity (+10, maybe +15) to get the soft proof copy to look like the master copy. Then I can quickly go through the soft proof copies and check.
Also, is there a way of creating a soft proof copy of all the pics in the develop module at once?

While I can use the "S" key to access softproofing, the checkbox doesn't show on the toolbar and the the option simply doesn't appear in the toolbar pop-up either!

I am running LR4 and CS6 on an HP desktop with 4Gig Ram, Win 7 Home, Profiled Monitor using DataColor.
In CS6, all my loaded ICC printer profiles appear when setting up the soft proofing...
In LR4, most of the profiles do not appear...
The problem is that I print to an Epson 7600 CMYK printer with UltraChrome Ink and mostly on Canvas so I need to proof for that environment.

I am trying to utilize my nearest costco to print some images from lightroom 5. I am getting back dull washed out prints.
Facts:
I shoot in RAW in manual mode
I am using sRGB when I do my post processing
I export to jpg for printing
I used the costco LR5 plugin from Alloyphoto to upload to Costco
I have installed the printer profiles from drycreek for the specific location/printer and have chosen the correct profile as I export
I made sure that I chose to have Costco NOT autocorrect the color
Even when I use LR5's soft proofing, I get the same result on my monitor
I checked the print I got back and it says that they did NOT autocorrect (taken with a grain of salt)
The machine they are using is a Noritsu QSS-A, so I know my profile is correct
I have attached a screen shot of what I am seeing.
Why am I seeing this on my soft proofing as well as my prints?

When soft proofing, I split the image horizontally and then create proof image when asked after making first alteration.However, in both LR4.4 and 5Beta, both the original and virtual (i.e., proofing image) change.
Have l Brightness value of 55 in original. Proofed image is duller. Increase brightness in proof by 10 to match original. (Figures are just for explanation) Now when I compare images again, original image brightness has increased by 10 also. This can be seen, of course, on the Develop panel.

Just wanted to print a new photo and realized that the colors in print preview do not match the colors in soft proofing. In both cases I selected the same icc profile and rendering method. The print colors matched the colors in print preview. I never had a problem so far. All new prints will be checked with soft proofing and adjusted when necessary. I never paid attention to the color rendition in print preview and all prints perfectly matched the colors from the soft proofing. I was surprised when my print came out of the printer and the colors weren't matching the soft proofing colors, but that of the print preview.
I don't understand why Photoshop renders the colors differently in the first place. See attached screenshot for the difference in the blue/cyan colors. I don't care if the print view colors will match the print, but I do care when soft proofing is not working.

I am trying to get a ICC profile to appear as 'Device to Simulate when soft proofing in CS3. This ICC file is from Adoramapix.com, to simulate their printers. When I drop down the list of 'Devices,' there is a older Adoramapix prifile, but I can't seem to get rid of it or remember how I added it?.
I have already right clicked on the ICC and selected 'Install Profile.' Not really sure what I was doing, but I also tried to add it under Display Properties>Advanced>Color Management. But I would get an error 'This is a printer profile which cannot be associated with this monitor.' I do have a canon printer at home, but never use it for printing photos. Anyone have an idea of how to make this ICC profile appear when soft proofing?

how to set my F2 key to Edit> Convert to Profile (instead of my display brightness)?
Photoshop: Edit Keyboard Shortcuts> Convert to Profile won't accept my F2 key (it lights up my brightness)
System Prefs> Keyboard> Shortcuts is probably the key, but unchecking F2 doesn't solve the problem

I've discovered what looks as a little bug to me in CS6 (as compared to PS CS3 and CS4).
When using Convert to profile, AdobeRGB->AdobeRGB "conversion" bugs in the preview. Since there's no actual conversion, the preview should remain the same but instead shows a strong contrast shift.
Here's my workflow:
- Working color space : sRGB (I use Europe General Purpose 3 preset)
- Open a document in AdobeRGB (original profile preserved, no prior conversion to sRGB), no soft-proofing activated
- I run "Convert to profile", Source profile is Adobe RGB. Now if I go for Destination profile: AdobeRGB (which is of course "pointless"), I see a color shift in the image preview. If I run the conversion, the image reverts to normal, hence this just affects the preview. Note that converting to other profiles like sRGB doesn't give a wrong preview.
"Convert to profile" settings are Engine: Adobe (ACE), Intent: Relative Colorimetric, Use black point compensation and Dither. Altering these settings doesn't correct the bug I'm mentionning.
This visual preview bug only affects AdobeRGB -> AdobeRGB conversion (again, yes, I know, it's pointless)
I've tested the issue on two separated machines (Windows 7, PS CS6 x64)

Here's what I'm using:
PS7, Adobe 1998 working space, monitor calibrated with ColorVision Spyder, Win XP Home.
When I have finished adjusting my pictures I Convert to Profile as sRGB. There's little or no change in the image itself after doing it, as one would expect. But here's the kicker, when I "save for web" the preview image has a distinct magenta cast to it.
Am I right in thinking that the preview image should look exactly like my PS image as they are both sRGB?
Is there a setting somewhere that says "Add magenta cast" :O

when I convert an image from Adobe RGB to sRGB. What I see is no change whatsoever, that is visible to my eye. My working space is Adobe RGB, but when I convert an image to sRGB in order to send it for viewing on a monitor, as for example when attaching a lower-resolution version to an e-mail, I see no difference in the image on my calibrated (Spyder2) monitor.
I start with an image taken with my Canon 40D with the color space set for Adobe RGB, as
I print most of my good images and do not post images on the Web with any frequency. As
I mentioned, my Photoshop CS3 working space is also Adobe RGB. When I do use Convert to Profile... and choose sRGB, I can see no change at all. I have tried a different copy of the sRGB profile (sRGB IEC61966-2.1), properly installed in
C:/Windows/System32/Spool/Drivers/Color, but there is no difference.

Problem:
Have put new icc profiles into
Windowssystem32spooldriverscolor
Also have deleted some old icc profiles from the same directory.
But these additions and deletions do not show up in Photoshop - specifically " imagemodeconvert to profile "
Any thoughts of how to get Photoshop to reset the profiles.
Tried deleting everything out of the Photoshop settings under Documents and Settings to no avail.

I get different results when converting to the same color profile before and after converting to smart object.Do the following:
1. create a cmyk document with color profile 'Euroscale coated v2' and fill the document with the color 86, 32, 14, 0
2. change the color profile to 'Euroscale Coated v2' -> the values change to 73, 29, 16, 0, no color change on the monitor
3. create a smart object -> the values stay the same, no color change on the monitor
4. create a second document like in step 1
5. create a smart object -> the values stay the same, no color change on the monitor
6. now change the color profile to 'Euroscale Coated v2' -> the values stay the same, this time we have a color change on the monitor.

I have just moved over to Photoshop CS6 from Elements 10. One thing I can't work out how to do is to have PS automatically convert opened files to RGB, exactly like PSE does.

Recently, I have needed to convert my CR2 or DNG files to CMYK profile for a printer. It is my understanding that PS Elements (any version) does not support CMYK profiles. I am an avid amateur I think I need to change from Photoshop Elements to CC or PSCS. What would be the most cost effective way to accomplish this goal?

I read the Photoshop Windows (read only) thread, titled "Scanning old photos", at [URL]......... I found Robert Shomler's answer useful, even though I am using an i Mac.
I have been using Epson Scan Version 3.01A and the Epson Perfection 4490 Photo scanner to scan reflective photos for over three years. I started using Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design Standard, and Photoshop for the first time, last month. My iMac is about one year old, and System Preferences shows its Display profile as i Mac.
I am befuddled by Epson Scan Version 3.01A's Color Configuration settings. I believe that I've been using the default Color Control, Continuous auto exposure setting for all these years, accept that I apparently changed Display Gamma from the default of 1.8 to 2.2.
I tested scanning the same originals with both the Color Control setting, and the ColorSync, Epson Standard, Target sRGB setting, as TIFF's. The resulting TIFF's look radically different in color, when displayed with Preview and Photoshop. The images resulting from the ColorSync, Epson Standard, Target sRGB setting more closely resemble the originals, except they appear to be a little flat.
At the moment, I have the Photoshop color working space at sRGB IEC 61966 2.1. When I open one of the scans done at the Color Control setting, select Assign profile sRGB IEC 61966 2.1, and check "…convert document to working RGB", I don't see any change in the color. The color does not change to look like the scans done directly to sRGB IEC 61966 2.1. Is that right?
I notice there is also an option to Assign profile Epson Perfection4490 - reflective. When I try this, the color changes to something different from both of the aforementioned test results.

I received specific menu choices for Color Settings from a commercial printer I use. I went to Edit<Color Settings and saved them as a .csf file in User/Library/Applications Support/Adobe/Color/Settings. I named the .csf file after the printer. When I go back into Edit<Color Settings and open the Settings menu I am able to choose the settings I saved from the list of settings. Now I open an image in PhotoShop and go to Edit<Convert to Profile.
In the dialog box I open the Profile menu, but the settings I saved in Edit<Color Setting are not one of the Profile choices. Am I confusing Setting and Profiles? How do I Convert an image file to the setting given me by the printer? I also wanted to proof as per the printer's settings. When I go to View<Proof setup<Custom I can choose Working CMYK Web Coated SWOP 2006 Grade 3 Paper, which is generally the profile this printer is using. But I can't choice my specific color settings saved under the printer's that I previously saved in Edit<Color Settings. In the Proof Setup dialog box when I press the load button I can navigate to the Settings folder where my .csf file is saved, but it is greyed-out so I can't choose it.
