Although the following is usually discussed in conjunction with Multiple Monitors, I believe it may be relevant in some single monitor environments as well.As far as I can see, PS CS4 uses the Windows XP Default monitor profile (Display Properties > Settings > Advanced > Color Management) as its Monitor Profile (just to be complete here, in the absence of any entries under Color Management, PS uses the sRGB space as the Monitor Profile). I have not been able to find any other way to control which monitor profile PS will use.Hardware monitor calibration tools, as well as the Wincolor applet, make it possible to load the LUT on the fly, but neither my Spyder3 Elite software nor Wincolor actually update the Windows Default monitor profile definition. This means that without manually making the change in the Windows Color Management section, there is no way to tell PS to use a particular monitor profile, thus making it impossible to create a correct relationship between the LUT contents and the PS monitor profile.Making the manual change to Windows is not only tedious, but also makes it essential to REMEMBER to do this every time there is a to be profile switch, which may be necessary due to using one's laptop with different external monitors in different locations, or even just different profiles to compensate for varying ambient light conditions (e.g. one profile for natural daylight, another for artificial lighting at night).Contrary to several comments I've encountered in various posts, I am not able to assign a different Default profile to each monitor at the WIndows level. Perhaps this is possible with some video cards/software, but not with my Nvidia GeForce 8400M G and the latest software.
ou have to hover over the image to see the real images. The images embedded in the webpage have their profiles stripped -- just like photoshop does! Interesting.how photoshop doesn't support color profiles in png's.
But now I have a great one.this is with the correct color profile and displays correctly in firefox and probably other browsers -- also displays correctly on windows desktop and in large-icon view.
Ok, grab that image and try to read it into photoshop..I do, and get no warning on profile mismatch like I do on jpg's or tiff's:photoshop strips the existing profile and adds sRGB which isn't the correct profile. This is how photoshop transforms good colors into bad:
Completly screwed up.I have had multiple people notice how my png saved images from photoshop had "off" or bad colors -- usually washed out in comparison w/my monitor profile.I can get 'ok' results if I flatten the image and *convert* my existing profile to sRGB -- and I usually get something that looks 'acceptable'...though the jpg's render in accurate color.
Basically, photoshop can't read or write png web images. and maintain color fidelity unless they have no profile. Even if they have an sRGB profile, I usually get washed out looking pics if I don't strip it but let adobe convert it.
In googling for my own problem, I found references to this problem in Adobe Photoshop going back to 2002.They could fix it with a file plugin for existing CS5-6 users, but it really needs to get fixed and Adobe needs to stop ignoring this problem.I find this extra depressing because I prefer to distribute my pictures losslessly in png, but with photoshop, I'm left with lossy jpegs to get accurate color reproduction.
May i load a monitor profile in photoshop?for example , i did a test and i calibrated my monitorand i would use the *.icc in photoshop is there a way to keep the monitor uncalibrated but load this profile in photoshop and work in photoshop with a monitor profile
in short it could be a non sense i would love to know only if i can load a calibrate monitor profile in photoshop and if yes , how can i do?
Instead of Photoshop, et al using my Win7 x64 ICC monitor profile, I would like to set it manually, as I'm able to do in other applications. Is this possible?
The reason why is that I have a Dell U3014 and using the software that comes with it, I want to use its sRGB mode (and an associated sRGB profile from my Spyder 4 set as my Windows default) for all of my regular apps, and AdobeRGB mode (and profile) for my CS and other color-aware apps. My other apps DxO, PhotoMechanic, Canon SLR apps, etc. let me choose the profile.
Every single time I power up CS5 I get an error :"The monitor profile "Samsung - Natural Color Pro 1.0 ICM" appears to be defective. Please rerun your monitor calibration software.No other application complain about this.
The monitor is a Samsung SyncMaster 226CW..If I go .. Control Panels Color Management..I can see that there is a profile "Samsung Natural Color Pro 1.0 ICM (default) file SM226CWicm..It is the ONLY profile listed.
I deleted the profile.. I am then prompted to chose a new profile .....from the list shown there is the "Samsung Natural Color Pro 1.0 ICM"..I select that.Then next time I start CS..same error message again.
Just purchased a new monitor for the recording studio...an LG L227WTG FLATRON LCD. Went w/ the glossy screen technology (or whatever LG dubs it) in order to have mo better detail & clarity when working on the graphics side of the equation...Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.
But, speaking of Photoshop...when I open it now...I get a warning message that reads: The Monitor Profile "LG 227W" appears to be defective. Please rerun your monitor calibration software.
What does this mean (aside from the obvious)?
This will be my first high quality graphic experience in PC land; &...since I'm also designing not only my own CD jackets & insert booklets (on the CMYK end)...I'm designing my own web pages (on the RGB end). I need to get this right, so my presentation colors don't look silly.
This is an FYI for others trying to solve the problem I've been pulling my hair out over!
I was receiving a warning on startup of Ps CS3 "The monitor profile 'LCD color management and conversion' appears to be defective. Please rerun your monitor calibration software". This was after using my EyeOne to calibrate my monitor. I've seen variations of this problem on various forums and websites, but none helped my particular problem.
FINALLY, it occurred to me to check the default profile for my SECONDARY monitor! That one was using a stock profile that came with the monitor, but that was what was triggering the error message. Once I replaced that with the same profile as I created and was using on my primary monitor, Ps stopped displaying the warning.
If I recall from months ago when I researched and bought my colorimeter, my model will only calibrate one monitor, so I can't use it to create a unique profile for the second monitor.
can you turn that pop-up message "The monitor profile "Samsung - Natural Color Pro 1.0 ICM" appears to be defective. retrun your monitor calibration software" on and off.
I may have checked the "don't show this message again" ? If so...can I re-enable the the profile warning message and how ? Or...does this pop-up only occur if there is a monitor profile issue when Photoshop starts ?
I have a vintage macBook pro running Snow leopard, PS CS3 & DW CS3. I have a lenovo Business computer-Vista and a Dell-XP with PS 7. My monitor died and I bought a Dell U2412 which I calibrated with i1 Display 2, the grey scale was good & neutral on every 3rd gradation but wandered dramatically in between measured targets, the colour was either good for the skin and dull on the primary and secondary colour targets or over saturated on the skin and too red in the blues and mag (but with correct Sat on primary secondary). This monitor a good colour out of the box in reviews (but not on a mac, Dell profile loaded but no drivers for mac), so I tried it on the lenovo with a greyscale I made on the mac, the Phase One Lowres Colour Checker and a couple of profile targets I got from commercial labs close by (all had primary-secondary swatches greyscales and some natural examples). The greyscale was good very neutral (black grey meld together) and the skin colour and primaries were fine, this is viewing them in paint and windows photo gallery. Double checked them with the Dell, inside and out side PS they looked great using the Dell supplied profile and terrible with a custom profile by i1 Display 2!
I up graded to the i1 Display pro, on the mac the greyscale was very good all round, far better, the skin was good as were all targets but the blue (255 blue in PS is normally very deep 74% tone in the info pallet and very intense) is rendered, appears that is as a med cobalt blue with a visual tone of I would say no more that 50% and while a bright blue far from intense. The magenta is the same a soft pure pink. They measure as they should though 255 blue and 255 red and 255 blue for the mag. I installed and profiled the lenovo with exactly the same settings and it looked great all over! So a Mac PC issue? probably not the Dell exhibits the same behavior when using the i1 Display 2 profile and the Dell U2412 profile. I made a double swatch (blue and magenta) in PS to e-mail to myself so I can monitor the problem a little easier using all 3 computers, as I attached it to the e-mail and I see it looks great in mail, very strange. I loaded the image on a webpage and in DW and put it on my site, all browsers display it as PS does soft. IE on the lenovo displays it as it should. On the mac Preview also displays it correctly.
Recap:
The U2412 is capable of displaying the colours.
The custom profile is loaded as the system profile on the mac and the PC.
The mac displays the 2 colours correctly in Mail and Preview.
The mac does not display the colours correctly in PS DW or web browsers.
The profile is being used by PS; The greyscale is perfect, opening the display preferences window and changing profiles shows a difference.
The profiles are loaded but are changed or corrupted in certain applications.
I cannot be the only one to bring a macBook pro, Snow leopard PS and i1 Display Pro together, am I the only one with a problem?
I have this calibration software Spyder Pro. I calibrate my Monitor once a month, and I have no color problem. Few days ago,I had this Windows Update, Samsung Diplay SyncMasterMagic, which was Optional. I did downloaded, and now when I open Photoshop CC, I get this Message: Adobe Photoshop CC. The monitor Profile problem. I have attached the Error Message
I have recently purchased LG IPS225V Flat Screen monitor and installed CS5 trial version. But as I try to run it I get an error message that the "LG IPS225V monitor color profile is corrupted, run the calibration wizard" and then there are two buttons labelled: "Ignore Profile" or "Use Anyway". This is a new monitor and it is considered to be providing the best factory calibrated color.
I have other free editing programs like Picasa 3, Pain.net etc.
I have a pre-existing graphic uses a stroke with variable with profile (I think) or a special brush to make it look like it's hand drawn. I'd like to apply the same effect to a few new illustrations to keep the style consistent. For whatever reason when I ungroup the graphic and select one of the paths, the stroke weight and variable width profile remain disabled (see pasted toolbar graphic below). The brush still says "Basic" despite the fact that visually it is certainly not the basic brush.
Selected Path
Toolbar (I realize that it says Group instead of Path, but even if I ungroup again and select the path the same options are disabled).
I am trying to create in my sub assembly a daylight with a variable slope to a graded ditch then it back slopes to natural ground. (image attached). How can I do this in Civil 3d 2012?
I'm working on a reflective drawing and using gradients on strokes. I've been using pressure sensitive calligraphic brushes I made. Now I'm trying to use variable width preset profile brushes. It works fine for the first stroke, but every time I make a new stroke, it reverts back to a calligraphic pressure brush. How can I keep my brushes the same profile until I manually select it to be different? I've gone back and forth between the brush tool and pencil tool and neither will keep any basic variable width profile past the first stroke. I have to select every brush stroke and change it again and again after drawing it.
I’m using Adobe Illustrator CS6 with a mouse rather than a pressure graphics tablet.
When I create a stroke using the Paint brush tool I would like the stroke to contain a variable width profile. For example narrower at the beginning and end of the stroke but thicker in the middle. Now I can do this by selecting the line after I have made the stroke and choosing the Basic Brush Definition from the drop down list. But if i try to draw a new line the settings are reset again. I cannot create a variable stroke while creating the stroke. The brush definition keeps resetting to 5 pt Round and stroke width 1 pt. It would be much quicker if the stroke remained as a varying width profile as I created the strokes.
I noticed the same problem with the blob brush tool except it's even worse. With the blob brush tool the stroke weight always resets regardless of whether or not I try to set a Variable width profile.
I tried deselecting "New Art has Basic Appearance" mentioned on another forum but that didn't work.

Notice the variable width profile is maintained as the artists draws. It doesn’t keep resetting.
In X3 you could open "Color Management" window, click on the screen icon and load the color profile of your monitor, but in X5 this window has changed and there is now option for the monitor color profile so I can't find how I could import it.
I want it to be a variable stroke, so I loaded up “Width Profile 2” in the profiles. The trouble I am having, is that Illustrator defaults to start the larger dots in the bottom right hand corner, and I would like the “starting point” to be in the middle of the line if you know what I mean. I'm still happy for the dots to start big, then gradually decrease in size, but I want to control where the “beginning” is.
I'm attempting to write a batch script to add some layers to a pre-existing image and save a copy. I've gone through the tutorial, and have run the demo code from Basic_Batch with no errors, but my (what I think of as simple) script throws an "Error: eval: unbound variable: ?" It also seems to cascade the error to other scripts, as I then get "unmatched parentheses: 2" errors from what I assume to be the script immediately following my own during Script-Fu load. This occurs whether running from batch or clicking "Refresh Scripts" from the Script-Fu menu.
What I could find on this forum and Google suggests that I may be required to 'define' one or more of my variables before using it, but for the life of me, I can't figure out which one that would be, and the error (reporting that '?' is undefined!?) I've quintuply (probably more ~_^) checked my parenthesis matching, but they look fine to me.
In case this was an encoding issue, I've tried saving my .scm file as both UTF-8 and ANSI. I should also note that I'm running Windows 7 x64 in English-US.
Why can't I drop a clip in the Program Monitor from the Source Monitor in Premiere? When I try to move a clip from the Source to the Program Monitor, a hand displays with the "circle with a line through it" symbol.
I've been trying to reproduce this color blind conditionfor a long time now and I still didn't figure out how I can do this. I've searched for cluts but didn't find any, only this, which has some previews of them, but no any files I can load into Photoshop's Color Lookup adjustment. I've looked into Pixel Bender plugin, but I'm using CC so that doesn't work either... I've also tried it with the Index Color mode, but that really messes up my image as it has a really low color range (256). I've even tried reproducing the same effect with adjustments, channels, etc, but didn't figure it out.
Since there's a way to perfectly color proof images with this condition, I'm guessing this has to be some kind of ICC profile or something similar. Is there a way I can use it as a color profile?
For a monthly magazine on uncoated paper, our workflow is as follows:
- convert every photo to uncoated cmyk (PSO Uncoated) + apply some corrections to look nice in this profile - apply a fixed correction curve to the photo's - (resize images + apply proper sharpening for print) - export pdf: convert colors to destination, preserve numbers
The correction curve step is critical. Without it, everything is printed much too dark.Unfortunately our printer can't provide us with a correct profile for the paper that is used. That's why the correction curve in photoshop is needed.The profile + the correction curve give a good, predictable result.
However i don't like the workflow with the correction curve, because only photoshop links can be corrected.We would also like to put a digital version of the magazine online, so i have to replace all links if i won't to have them displayed correctly.
Can i somehow combine the icc profile with the correction curve into a new icc profile?I did some research and found about "Custom CMYK" in photoshop (see screenshot), but i think an existing profile (PSO Uncoated) can't be edited or replicated in this dialog box.
I have an alignment label that I normally use to show the PVI's of a profile in the plan view.
This is a little unusual, but in a specific case I wanted to design my profile at one alignment, but show it at another. I designed my swale profile in the pathway profile view and then superimposed the swale profile on the swale profile view. I then went back to the swale alignment to add these labels.
It's a no-go AFAICT. The only profile available for me to select for these labels is the original ground profile from the surface.
I'm working with a structure profile label style and it seems like the only way to anchor the position of the label is based on offsets from the structure itself... Any way to position the label based on the top of the profile view, so that I could make all of my labels horizontally aligned above the profile view?
Im creating a Profile Bandset and would like to have multiple surface/profile elevations shown, ie: EG, FG, Back of Curb and Back of walk. While creating this bandset I see that the text component editor properties only has code for profile 1 elevation and profile 2 elevation in the properties area, which the code for this looks like below.
Ive tried to write my own code using the profile 2 as an example but it doesnt seem to work as a 3rd surface/profile and only seems to mimic the profile 2 elevation when placed in the band
My questions are as follows
1) does Civil 3d only allow 2 surface elevations in any band set? if it does allow more profiles/surface elevations what am i missing to create it?
2) if Civil 3d does alow for multiple surfaces to be shown in the band set how do i get the text component editor to supply the extra profile elevation codes? or would i need to create from scratch
3) if i need to write the code from scratch does any listing of the codes and meanings of each code ie what does RN, Uft, Sn and so forth do and mean .
