how to change color settings for all pictures I have on disc. I have digital camera and it saves pictures in
sRGB IEC profile but I have set monitor color settings to Adobe RGB. So, every time when I open pictures saved to disc Photoshop ask me: The document …. has an embedded color profile that does not match the current RGB working space.
Photoshop CS5 v12.1.
Mac OS 10.6.
I'm printing to an Epson R1800 printer.
Â
Print. Choose Color Management. Choose Document. Choose "Photoshop manages color". Choose the correct printer profile that matches the paper I'm using. Choose Relative Colorimetric.
Â
THEN, I click Print Settings...under the 4th drop downu I choose "Print setting..." again. Under "Basic" "color" and "Color settings" are grayed out as are some of the "Media Type" options.
Â
Is this normal? The problem is my black and white prints are printing really badly. They have color tones. I've cleaned the nozzles on my Epson printer, done everything the print utility suggests. All the test prints look fine.
We are currently using G7 Workflow for our profile. I have a couple of questions concerning the color settings.
Â
1.We are also not able to hold these settings even once we leave it as "Custom". It defaults back to U.S. Sheetfed Coated Profile.Â
2. When trying to set color setting with our profile, it says it is not supported by this version of Photoshop (CS6). It will set this to "Custom" instead of G7 Workflow. What can we do to fix this issue? Please see below for the screen captures.
resetting my palette in PS 7.0
I somehow upset my colorpalette. Now it will only display Pantone and other less useful, for me that is , palettes...
I allready tried 2 uninstall / reinstall PS,
I'm trying to fully understand the difference amongst the options in color settings. Who here uses what settings, and for what reason?

I was disappointed to see that the CS6 More Options panel still has 8 bit dither. Why isn't it 10 bit by default ? Shouldn't Photoshop be sending 10 bit to monitors with 10 bit LUT for real wide gamut? Some printers are going beyond 8 bit now, also.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm not sure what to set my color management settings up as! I've been told a few different things! I shoot in Adobe RGB, but I've been told to set my working space to SRGB and then to set the color management policies to "Convert to working RGB, CMYK, and Gray." Then I've also been told to set the working space to Adobe RGB (1998) and then under "coversion options" change the "intent" to "perceptual." Regardless of which setting I try to use, the coloring when I view it in Photoshop is much more yellow than when I view it on my monitor. I have callibrated my monitor, so I'm assuming the problem is within Photoshop. How do I fix this so that the colors match?
View 8 Replies View RelatedWhen ever I save any of my works as a picture (png, jpg, gif, etc.) it always seems to save darker than what I see on screen. To get it to save right I have to work in my "monitor color" (name of the setting) then assign profile (edit-->assign profile) of sRGB IEC61966-2.1 to brighten it then save it and,
it saves it like I want. Is there a way I can fix this so that it will save as my monitor color without having to go through all that?
I am using CS3 under Vista Ultimate.
1. When I customise my color settings the customisarion is not sticking - that is, when I save the customisation, close the settings box and reopen it - the settings have returned to North America General Purpose 2. Similarly, if I load a customised setting it has always reverted to North American General Purpose 2 when I next look at the color settings.
2. For reasons I don't understand, recent photos have started to look over saturated with a blue shift when I Save (them) For The Web. My work is all for the internet and my workflow is all sRGB. That's why I am surprised by the colour problem. It's definitely something to do with the colour profile of the photo I am working on - when I take photos I have worked on a few weeks ago there is no colour shift when I Save for Web. I have converted the problem photo to sRGB but that has not solved the problem. I know I'm doing something dumb but I can't work out what it is or how to rescue the photo I have been working on.
I close and reopen Photoshop (CS4) it seems to revert to using sRGB as Working Space, and Preserve Embedded Profiles for all three types of color file. I have to go into Color Setttings and change these settings to what I want. I know hae them in a Settings fiile, so it's not hard, but often I forget and find myself working in the wrong colorspace for days before I discover it. Why doesn't PS leave my settings as the default the next time it opens? Do I have to go somewhere else to choose my settings as default? That would seem like very clusmy design on Abode's part. Another thing that seems annoying:Â at the top of the dialog it says "Unsynchronized:Â Your Creative Suite applications are not synchronized for consistent color."

How can I change it to eciRGB? Put all files into ColorSync folder and into Application Support/Adobe/Color..
Sometimes when working with particularly difficult imaging I'll start with a quick auto-level or auto-color adjustment. More often than not these attempts leave little to be desired and I move on to other techniques. But once and a while (like today's subjects) I'l do an auto-color and the result is good enough to warrant inclusion in an action where I want to apply the exact same settings from that single auto-color step to a few more files.
Trouble is, unlike the levels where you can see what's been done and can save the .alv, there seems to be no equivalent for the auto-color adjustment. Can those settings be saved out?
I am a web designer and have a problem with my Photoshop CS6. I work on both a mac and a pc (Win7), but use CS6 on both systems. My files are always worked with on both systems.
Â
With several psd's, I noticed a color difference when I dragged layers to new psd's. Even the RGB values changed. When dragged back to the original psd, the colors change back again. This is not a constant problem. I have checked the color settings of both files and see no difference. If I place the color specified in the failing psd in a HTML-file, the color does not resemble the failing psd. In HTML, the color resembles the new psd. I think there is something wrong with some of my psd's, but cannot figure out what it could be and how to fix and prevent it.
Â
I have a feeling it may be caused by changing between mac and pc, but surely this could not be the cause? I am, at the moment, unable to try this out myself, but will try this out later this week.
Can someone help me understand color settings in Photoshop. My images look much lighter and warmer when I edit them than when I export them using Save for Web.
For a while I though it was because I was importing a raw file with a different color depth and profile so when it got saved as a jpg that the colors and brightness would shift. Recently, I made a graphic in Photoshop and it still looked warmer than the export. I also know temperature is displayed wrong in photoshop because when I create a neutral gray color its too warm. When it's exported using save for web the temperature is shown correctly.
If it was a mis calibrated monitor it would look warm all of the time. I'm using Photoshop CS3, my color profile is sRGB with color management turned off (its off because espon recommends this setting because it can better manage colors). Although I tried changing these settings and they don't seem to make a difference. Here's neutral gray image with screen caps to show you what I'm talking about.
I have Photoshop CS4. When I try to access the Creative Suite Color settings item from the Edit menu in Bridge I get an error message saying that Color Suite Management is not enabled because a qualifying product has to be launched at least once. Is not Photoshop, which I have launched many times, a qualifying product?
View 1 Replies View Relatedas some of you who work in TV know, video uses color bars to set up your source material in order to insure that levels in video will be output properly.
please see the above PDF. i created the BG in photoshop, then imported it into indesign for a half-page magazine ad.
this PDF is a high-quality output of PDF. i printed it on my $99 ink jet printer just to see how it looks on paper and it doesn't look too bad.
but is there some way i can test the print output without having to get a printed proof from the print company, that will insure that the ad's colors and levels are set properly?
i guess what i mean is, is there some way that a color bar system similar to TV can be used to compare with the PDF?
I have been editing photos in Lightroom. I occasionally take a photo into Photoshop for more editing and when I do this, if I make any change to the program window side, the color changes to a darker, more muted looking photo. If I minimize the program, nothing changes. If I either change the window size to a smaller, non-maximized window or drag it to my secondary display, the color changes to what I am guessing is a different color space. The only way to fix this is to shut down Photoshop and restart it. I am sure this is some setting in Photoshop color settings, but not sure. Should I have my color settings set to my monitor calibration file or should it be Adobe RGB? Not sure what Lightroom edits in. I do have it set up to send the file to Photoshop in Adobe RGB.

what's going on? I'm running the CS6 Master Collection on an Intel quad core with 8 gb RAM and an nVidia GeForce GTX 550 Ti (2 gb PCIE 2). OS is Win 7 x64.
I have a wide gamut monitor (HP LP2475w) which has already been calibrated. My question isn't so much about that, but the settings I should be using inside of Photoshop (CS5). As far as color settings (ctrl+shift+k) goes, what am I supposed to use? I have sRGB as the rgb working space right now. (never use CMYK), Gray % Spot = dot gain 20%, and preserve profiles are ticked on for all 3. Am I supposed to be using Adobe RGB in RGB working space to get the most out of my monitor? I'm asking because it would be embarrassing if I had a wide gamut monitor and am working within a sRGB color cap. What are the proper photoshop color settings, so that it works well across the board (browser compatibility, etc)
Â
I am a professional digital artist who specialize in illustrations for print campaigns. So far from what I've seen, whatever's been printed out of what I produce from this monitor has come out pretty much looking the same, so I'm not worried about that. Again, I just want to make sure I'm not careless and am using settings which doesn't make use of a wide gamut monitor.
I am designing a Flyer, (PDF) in Photoshop and that will not be going for printing company but printed in a University in UK. What DPI / PPI? Normally for web i use 72 and for Printing company i use 300. But for home printing, i don't know.
Secondly, what about color. Will CMYK be good for home printing. I don't know exactly what printer it is going to be.
The soft-proof of an image in CS6 gives a very good rendering based on a given paper profile for my printer. However subsequently, with proper settings in the Print Settings dialogue box, the image represented often has colors that are far from the earlier soft-proof rendering and are thoroughly inaccurate.
The image prints correctly, having no resemblance to the image appearing in the dialogue box, but coming quite close to the soft-proof simulation. Is something amiss? On a system running Mac OS 10.8.
Color Management while Printing has been one of the challenging areas which has been discussed a lot over user forums and has been a painful area in terms of clear understanding while taking print outputs.Here is an easy-to-understand KB (Knowledge Base) article ‘Color management settings for the best print output’ to get the best from your printers using PSE and bridge that knowledge gap.
Â
This article explains color management in Photoshop Elements, how to get better prints, and addresses some of the following issues like horizontal / vertical streaks in print output, too dark or too light print output, ICC profile problems and Color differences between prints from PSE and other applications.

Â
No matter what margins you enter, the utility ignores them.  I need to CENTER a document on both sides of a piece of brochure paper in order to create a personalized greeting card. This program puts the document on the left - turn the page over, and the card does not match. I would have to cut the paper to size and then set up paper sizes for the printer. The other solution would be to make the document letter size and center the card on that. What a waste of time.
Â
I used to get perfect prints on an HP 2600N Laser Printer just by using no color management. Now I don't. Also, if you are printing 2 photographs (or 2 sides of the card) you have to close the program, re-open the program, get the 2nd photograph and reset the margins and the printer specs. What a bother!
Â
I don't know why you just can't put the 'no color management' back into photoshop (unless you are being paid by printing companes not to do so.)
First - I am not an expert in the Color settings/Profiles topic but I am thinking there is an issue here.
Â
When I look at this image "McCroreyDigitalLogo.png" in Photoshop the 'whites' appear right.Then when I import it into ms PowerPoint, the whites look yellowish.
Â
I have done a series of 'tests' and it seems to be that the color profile out of photoshop and the one in PowerPoint are not compatible.I have reset my Photoshop preferences with no luck/change to the results.
Â
Finally, I did a screen shot out of photoshop and pasted that into Powerpoint. The white appeared correct. Basically any files I run through PS, when they are imported into PowerPoint, the whites turn yellow.
