ACR 5.5 doesn't show color profiles...

...although they are installed and were installed a few times :/
When I open a RAW from sony alpha 350, it only shows Adobe Standard, Adobe Standard beta 2 and Adobe 4.4 profiles I don't even know how the list of profiles should look because it NEVER showed me any other profiles than these 3
I am using CS4 with ACR 5.5 on 32 bit windows XP sp3
HELP!!!
p.s. I did most of the tricks i found here incl. manual installation and updates :/
i can't find the profiles on my disk either, although i have installed them many times :/
seems like if they install somewhere, but i can't find them anywhere on the pc
another edit:
The FAQ says the profiles should be saved to :
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles
after installation i still DON'T have that folder on my pc although it says it installed OK...

You say you're having issues with all colors using with ACR 5.5 but didn’t have issues, previously. What is the most recent previous version of ACR that you used when the colors appeared to be ok? Was it ACR 5.4 or ACR 5.1 or ACR 4.6 or ACR 4.4? I think there have been a couple different revisions of the camera profiles (Adobe Standard for your Sony) but nothing recently. So I wonder if the issues you're seeing have been there all along and something is different with the photos or the processing where you're noticing the colors being off.
Also, a monitor profile could make things look different.

Bridge CS3 doesn't show color profiles althought they are there

I have a folder with various TIFF files, some are in CMYK (Fogra27), some in RGB but none show the profile in Bridge, although I turned it on in the settings. I can see that they have profiles in PsCS3.
What may be the cause?
Thanks!

You may have used the broken global Purge Cache command in Bridge Preferences, or the cache is otherwise corrupted. Try Purging the Cache through the Tools menu in Bridge for each folder. Tools > Cache > Purge cache for 'foldername'.

Bridge doesn't recognize color profiles

Dear Adobe community,
I'm using Adobe Bridge CS5.1 (4.1.0.54) and Illustrator CS5.1 (15.1.0), and I'm experiencing a very confusing and disturbing color management problem between these two applications. In short, for some unknown reason Bridge doesn't seem to respect or simply cannot read CMYK color profiles that I've applied to an artwork within Illustrator, but rather labels the file as "Untagged" and displays it with clearly desaturated colors. To illustrate the problem I've created some screenshots having Bridge on the left hand side and Illustrator on the right displaying the same illustration with various color profiles applied. That is, in each case I assigned different color profile to the image in Illustrator, saved the file and took the screenshot of Bridge and Illustrator both displaying the image. Now if you look closely then perhaps you notice that the only time I got a visual match between these applications was when I switched the file to a RGB mode within Illustrator. But even then Bridge did not recognized the correct color profile but interpreted it as "Untagged". Here are the screens:
Bridge "Untagged" vs. Illustrator "U.S. Web Coated":
Bridge "Untagged" vs. Illustrator "Coated FOGRA39":
Bridge "Untagged" vs. Illustrator "Don't Color Manage This Document":
Bridge "Untagged" vs. Illustrator "Adobe RGB":
Hope you could see the difference from these tiny images. Looking from my monitor, I can tell you for sure that they are definitely off, except the RGB versions of the illustration. This made me surmise that perhaps Bridge can only display Working RGB profiles correctly and not anything else.
Here's also my color settings, just in case…
So... Why is that??? Why are these applications showing me different results while my color settings are supposed to be "Synchronized"? Is there a way to fix this? I have tried to play around with the settings and looked for a solution in the web but to no avail. Could you please help me to find a soulution to this disturbing problem?
All the best,
Juhani

Since recent CC upgrade, Bridge doesn't show colors of labels. What gives?

Hi All,
Just upgraded CC and all of a sudden all the thumbnalls in Bridge show white bars instead of labels on the thumbnails. When I go to the Filter I can select to view only those with green, red, or whatever, so the information on what the color is is there. Is this just my problem or is it a bug? This is the Mac version running Mountain Lion on a 13" retina display.
Thanks,
Ed Merrin

Thanks, Omke. You helped lead me to a trail that solved the problem, although how it came to be is not too clear. I thought it would be good for me to describe the specifics in case someone else encounters this.
Briefly, I have used the label colors for years, through multiple versions of Bridge, to help organize and sort through images. It has become second nature to me. I recently went traveling and came back and began sorting through and labeling my new images. Everything seemed fine, but in retrospect I was paying attention to the color of the label and not the name attached to each color.
Eventually the time came to do something with older files, and that's when the problem surfaced. All the labiels were white. When I looked at the filter panel, the thumbnails in the browser would be correctly identified by the text name of the color,but no colors would be displayed. For instance, if I selected the word red (but with a white circle next to it), only the "red" thmbnails would be in the browser, and the same for any other "color." So they could be identified, even thought here was no way to tell them apart visually by label, since they were all white. On the other hand, the newer files, although they had red or green etc under the thumbnail,were identified as something else. Specifically, red was "Selected," and other colors had other terms I can't remember. The transition was easy to find. All files labeled from October of this year to the present had the new monikers and showed colors, whereas everything before (back to 2006) were white.
So I went to the preferences, and lo and behold each color had a word next to it (as I mentioned above red was "Selected") instead of the name of the color, as it had been before.
It was much easier to change the newer files than thousands of old ones, obviously, so I changed the preference panel by typing the color names in to replace the other categorie names that some greater authority had apparently invented. Bingo, all the old files now had color labels and it was the new ones that were white! That was easily fixed by changing labels of the new files in the drop down menu to the appropriate color name (the colors names were unavailable until I changed the preferences).
Apparently, around the end of September or early October my preferences were changed, probably after an update, and I never noticed. Previously, whenever I updated Phtotshop/Bridge the preferences were carried over without any intervention from me.
So go figure.

ItemRenderer doesn't show color bg. [see code]

Hello,
I've been trying to get an itemRenderer within a <skinnableDataContainer> to have color in it's background. The itemRenderer is a pair of labels that repeats over a set of records (retreived remotely) in the dataContainer. I'm using a tileLayout with 7 columns so all the data (each itemRenderer) appears tiled. Everything works fine except the itemRenderer will not show background colors for the normal and hovered states (it defaults to white). Basically I want each repeating itemRenderer object within the container to have a background color.
Application:
<s:SkinnableDataContainer itemRenderer="components.tagoutInfo"
     creationComplete="list_creationCompleteHandler(event)"
     id="skinnableDataContainer"
     dataProvider="{getAlluserTableResult.lastResult}">
     <s:layout>
          <s:TileLayout requestedColumnCount="7"
               orientation="rows"
               horizontalGap="1"/>
     </s:layout>
</s:SkinnableDataContainer>
itemRenderer:

     <s:Label text="{data.firstName + ' ' + data.lastName}"/>
     <s:Label text="{data.reasonOut + ' ' + data.timeBack}"/>
</s:ItemRenderer>

Hi,
It looks like what's happening is that your background Rect is being laid out vertically with the labels. You'll want to put the labels into a separate Group that has the defined vertical layout. This way, the Rect will be drawn behind the group of labels. Let me know if you have any more trouble.
Thanks,

Confused about color profile support in PNG

NOTE -- you 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.
I ask a similar question on this before, but couldn't give a satisfactory demonstration of how photoshop doesn't support color profiles in png's.
But now I have a great one.
Picture A: 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, anyone who doesn't believe me, 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.
Why does adobe refuse to fix this? It's horrible.
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.

How did the SFW thing even come up?? When I embed profiles in jpg and tiff, I do it as part of the File Save or File Save As dialog. I can choose what profile to save it with -- and I usually save it with my currently calibrated monitor profile -- as that color profile is what was used to create the picture. Why would I want to convert them to some other profile?? Only thing I have needed to convert have been PNG's because it doesn't embed my monitor profile in the PNG the same way jpg and tiff do.
If it did, png's would look the same as jpgs and tiffs... but the jpgs and tiffs have the full depth of color and look the same as they do in PS. png's look washed out because -- it's been my belief that PS is not storing my profile in the png, but setting a bit in the file to use the sRGB profile.
AFAIK, PNG provided for a sRGB profile-compat bit -- so images that were compat w/that profile could just set a bit rather than including a profile. I see no evidence that PS is saving my monitor profile with the PNG.
My 'settings' for RGB are to convert to working RGB profile which is my monitor profile.
I do have it set to ask me abou profile mismatches on opening or pasting.
Since I don't get a 'this document has a different color profile than the working space'
message when I edit most png's, I assume it has none. Thus from my settings
it should autoconvert it to my monitor profile and save that on save -- which seems to be what happens when I save as jpg or tiff (or I can check off the box to save profile...but I usually don't).

Photos to FCP- best color profile?

Greetings.
What would the best color profile be for a .psd file to be used in FCP? For viewing on HD TV? Regular SD tv?
My gut tells me something like sRGB, but I'm just not certain.
Any help would be appreciated, and please let me know if you need any more info than the vaguery here.
Jonathan

"FCP doesn't see color profiles..."
Not everyone believes that to be a true statement. In fact, when bringing an image from Photoshop into FCP you should first convert image to APPLE RGB. Of course, I don't expect you to believe me, so try it yourself. Bring in one image with just the regular Adobe RGB (1998) profile and the same image converted to Apple RGB. Set each frame for 10 seconds in length and render yourself a 20 second QT movie. Burn to disk and watch it on the TV, you'll see a definite difference. The Adobe RGB image will look "washed out" compared to the image with the Apple RGB profile.
Before you argue with me just try it.
This whole area bugged the crap out of me until I uncovered a true gem stuffed inside a multimedia "how-two" guide written by Brian Storm, founder of MediaStorm and one of country's most sought after multimedia experts. (Disclaimer, Brian was a colleague of mine at MSNBC years ago.) Here's what Brian's "how-to guide" says:
+Final Cut will not accurately import images embedded with the Adobe RGB (1998) color profile. You must convert the images to Apple RGB. This will retain your color information while enabling Final Cut to properly read your new color profile.+
+To change your color profile, select the Image > Mode > Assign Profile... from the menu. In the dialog menu, select "Profile: Apple RGB.”+
Just try it; it works.

Color Profiled Screen and ACR or Lightroom (Vista)

Hi,
My screen is calibrated and works with an .icc profile. I have set up the proofing colors in Photoshop to be my .icc profile. I do not attach any profiles to my pictures when I edit them in Photoshop and so they look the same in Photoshop and in non-color managed internet browsers. I also have a good correspondence between colors I see there and the printed pictures.
My problem is with how I see the colors when I open a file in Adobe Camera Raw, Bridge and Lightroom (actually in Windows Gallery too but this would be a topic for a different forum). They look very saturated, especially yellows, and very far from what I see on my camera (Canon 350d) screen, Explorer or the Canon's Raw Converter.
This problem is driving me crazy and I think I have tried everything with ACR and Bridge I could think of. Yesterday I have tried Lightroom and the colors there are absolutely the same as in ACR and Bridge. Which probably means that this is not a matter of the software version, but of something else I am missing.
Is there anyone who have had the same problem? How did you solve it? Is there anyway to set up something like proofing profile in either of those programs? Or is there any other way to fix this?
Thank you very much,
Vera

Thank you Zeno, I will try to reset them.
My problem is with how ACR shows colors though, not how it converts them.
If I open a RAW file in ACR the colors look really ugly. I convert it to JPEG without touching anything. If then I open this JPEG in Photoshop or IE the colors are fine. There are slight differences in colors if I compare them to JPEG I get from the Canon's software. But this is to be expected and can be corrected by the camera calibration.
I do not think that the way ACR displays colors can be corrected by this calibration.

Custom color profiles not showing as available in InDesign CC

This is a college graphic design lab environment with iMacs running 10.9.4 and the CC versions of Adobe programs
We have a variety of custom color profiles for our specific printers and media. They're located in a special folder and an alias of that folder is located in /Library/Colorsync/profiles. The profiles in that folder do not show up as available for selection in InDesign CC. They did before the upgrade to the CC version. They do show up in Photoshop CC, Lightroom 5 and Illustrator CC. Is this a known InDesign flaw? Any ideas for a fix... preferably one that doesn't involve moving the profiles?
Thanks

I had the same issue when playing with my Xerox Phaser 6110 profiled with colormunki. All software except Aperture (3.0.3) recognized the profile (Color Sync, Print dialog, Preview soft-proffing, even LR 3b2). I too tried all possible locations and none worked.
Then I opened the profile in ColorSync, and edited (Profiles -> Xerox... -> Open ->'desc' tag) Ascii and unicode descriptions to read aaa.icc and did a Save As aaa.icc and there it was, available in Aperture, too.
To my great disappointment the soft-proof feature in Aperture seems to be broken for some monitor/printer profile combinations, and is compatibly broken for printing from Aperture. What happens is the resulting image is way too degraded, even beyond the (admittedly crappy) photo printing capabilities of this printer.
IOW printing the same JPG via Preview and/or soft-proofing with the printer's profile yields way more consistent results. Totally unacceptable for a €200 piece of software.

Color Profile and ACR 4.6 (Vista)

Hi,
My monitor is calibrated with Spyder3. I have set up my Photoshop CS3 so that the color management policies are disabled and the proof conditions are set up to the .icc profile produces by the calibrator. With these settings the files that I save in Photoshop look similar in Photoshop, Microsoft Office Picture Manager, IE and on paper.
But if I decide to open a RAW file, then it is opened in ACR and looks very different: all colors are over-saturated and totally unnatural. Nevertheless, clicking on "Save Image" without changing anything produces a jpeg, which, if opened in Photoshop, looks fine.
I played with this jpeg in Photoshop and was able to reproduce those unnatural colors of ACR in the following way:
- Go to Save For Web&Devices
- Open the Preview Menu
- Chose Windows Color
Normally I have Uncompensated Color chosen there and then it looks normal.
Here are the examples. First, how the file looks in ACR ad then in PS:
Does anybody know why this might happen?
Thank you very much,
Vera

Thank you Ramon,
Could you please elaborate? I have looked through the page you gave me a link to. I did not see much new there.
The problem I have is with proofing. If I switch to sRGB I have consistent colors through all my applications but they look very washed out and way too cold. If I then make my picture look "natural" (whatever that means) on my screen, it looks too saturated and too warm on most of other screens I tried. (And on paper too.)
Proofing under my .icc does not give that problem, but it has the other: ACR and Photoshop proof differently. So I cannot use ACR for conversion and have to use the Canon's software, which (I suppose) uses the monitor profile for proofing.
Are you OYing about the fact that I do not convert the profile of my pictures before sending them to the printer?
Vera
Vera,
If G. Ballard's excellent, clearly written pages did not help you, you can bet I won't be able to either.
No, I was saying OY! about your entire post!
Good grief! you're turning off Color Management in Photoshop (or you think you are, but you're not "turning it off", you're just messing it up) and you're massively misusing your monitor profile.
Honestly I don't have the time, strength or inclination to explain it to you step-by-step.
CAUTION: NEVER, ever set your working space to be your monitor profile!
In very broad strokes:
Calibrate and profile your monitor, use the resulting profile ONLY in your OS and nowhere else, not anywhere in Photoshop. Set your working profile to a device-independent profile such as ProPhoto RGB, Adobe RGB or sRGB, embed the same device-independent profile such as ProPhoto RGB, Adobe RGB or sRGB, in your file (that is called "tagging your file"), work with your file and save it.
• Then, for the web, Convert a copy the file to sRGB if it's not already tagged as sRGB, then soft proof (Proof) the file with the sRGB profile to see how other people who happen to have a calibrated monitor (less than 2% of all web viewers) will see it in a color managed application.
For heaven's sake DO NOT soft-proof with your gosh-darned monitor profile!!! You're just fooling yourself that way. No one else in the entire world will see the image the same way except by sheer serendipity.
—What kind of printer are you using? Are you talking about your own inkjet printer or a commercial printing press?
• If your own printer, then your file should be created in an Adobe RGB working color space (you can move up to an even wider space once you know what you are doing), tag your file with the embedded Adobe RGB profile, and then use your TARGET (paper) profile to soft-proof your image. The Target Profile, also called paper profile, MUST be specific to a particular combination of paper/ink/printer.
• If a commercial press, ask them to provide their own profiles for their print presses or devices so you can use it for soft proofing.
In both of these last two cases, use the paper target profile for soft proofing. NEVER your gosh-darned monitor profile!
Again: If G. Ballard's excellent, clearly written pages did not help you, you can bet I won't be able to either. I'm done here.

New Superdrive doesn't show up in System Profiler

My old superdrive died on me, so I ordered a new one from powerbookmedic.com.
After installing, it doesn't show up in System Profiler. I've quadruple-checked the connection and I can hear it make regular healthy sounds when booting up so I know it's getting power but once I'm inside OSX; nothing.
I tried resetting the PRAM and SCM as recommended on this forum for various superdrive trouble. Although it didn't change anything and I'm guessing don't apply here.
Any tips for getting OSX to recognize my drive?

It's equipped with a SATA drive - that's why.

Olympus OMD EM1 Camera Profile Doesn't Show Up

I created a colorchecker passport profile for my new OMD EM1 camera and it doesn't show up in the list of camera profiles. At least one other person I know with this camera is reporting the same issue. I am on a brand new download of Lightroom 5.2.

Just tried to do the same myself. Not working either....annoying.
I wonder if it's been fixed in the 5.3RC?
For reference...yes it should be fixed in 5.3, just downloading it now!

My color profiles does´nt show in bridge

Before going totally insane i ask here....
im useing CS4 premium
Images: .psd, gif, jpg ect shows tagged colorprofiles in bridge
But InDesign Documents and illustrator documents shows colorprofiles as :untagged
WHY?! I have assigned a profile etc etc and no matter what it says: Untagged
im going ballistic. Cant you tag a colorprofile to a indesign/illustrator document ore what is going on?!
Even my PDF´s are :Untagged
I use color management in Bridge with same settings for all programs: Preserve color profils...etc
My god- someone please help coz im going absolutely desperate
tnx guys

I do not know anything about InDesign or Illustrator., and have not had to get into color profiles. Having said that I believe Bridge writes that info to XMP file, unless you have it in database (which some experts say in lunacy).
I do know that Illustrator uses a data base for keywords and perhaps the other stuff as well. If you want Bridge to read it you have to check some option that says something like - export data to metadata.
Hope that helps.

ACR not saving color profiles when saving out to TIF...

The Players:
ACR 4.6, PS CS3, Mac OS X, MacBook, Nikon D200
The Problem:
ACR does not seem to be saving my color profiles when I work on my Nikon D200 NEF files. After saving them out as TIFs and opening them in Photoshop CS3 - files read as "Untagged RGB" and the colors are definitely way off from what they were saved as in ACR. Frustrating!
The Request:
Thank you for any help - trying to get a job done!
Best,
Paul

Paul,
You need to update your Photoshop to version 10.0.1 ASAP. You're also two versions behind in the OS; 10.5.6 is out.
If you do not know how to trash Photoshop's preferences, check out the FAQs in the Adobe Photoshop Macintosh forum:
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3c057d1b
To trash Bridge prefs, hold down the Option key as you relaunch Bridge, then check the boxes in the ensuing dialog box.
