Color profile management across LR and ps CS4

Problem the same file when sent from LR to cs4 for fine tuning looks totally different its color.
Therefore I'd like some advice on how to setup my color profiles for my monitor, LR and Photoshop CS4.  I shoot with Canon and the last articles have been advising to go with the Prophoto profile for it's large spectrum.
I can set the monitor and CS4 to that....but what is LR's profile.  I can't even FIND the default.  I'm sorry.  I've poked around and poked around.
I don't have any problems setting the profiles for printing....that part I got.
I only used to use photoshop and didn't have these issues...but I'd like to get the programs sync'd.
My OS is Vista.....shortly to be WIndows 7.
Thanks in advance.

No, the problem is that lots of monitors install profiles that have a
corrupt perceptual rendering intent. This is very strange but unfortunately
true. Especially Dell and Samsung monitors have this issue. Lightroom uses
the perceptual intent if present and Photoshop uses relative to render to
the display profile. This is only an issue on windows machines and you can
check whether this is what is causing your problem by going to your
monitor's properties dialog and clicking on the color management tab. There
you should delete any profile you see. This will make windows assume that
your monitor is sRGB and should make Lightroom and Photoshop render
identically. This is only a test. Both will render the image wrong since
your monitor is unlikely to be exactly sRGB. The ONLY way to get correct
color in any program whether it be Photoshop or Lightroom is to calibrate
and profile your monitor using one of the hockey puck calibrators. You can
have a reasonable one (Spyder 2 or Huey Pro) for under $100. Better ones are
$150 to $250 and often include printer profiling too. The cheapest ones do a
very good job already if you're not too extremely critical.
Note that we have seen literally hundreds of issues like this on this forum
all caused by bad monitor profiles. People only noticed that this was
happening because they compared Lightroom to Photoshop and saw a difference.
They were having bad color in every app before already.

  • Color profile management

    On our Macs, they're all managed by color profiles, so that, color and photos presentation are consistent.
    How can we do the same thing on an IPhone?

    There is no way to make that sort of adjustment for the iPhone display.

  • Profile Manager, Push, Kerberos and other oddities

    Hey all,
    First time setting up a Mac Server on our network, thought we'd give Lion a try since we're seeing more and more Macs make their way into our ranks. I'm having issues with the following areas, hopefully someone could shed some light.
    Push
    I can't for the life of me get push to work behind our Firewall. I opened up TCP Port 5223 as outlined in the Apple Docs but that doesn't get me anywhere. Do I need to NAT that port to the lion server? I thought that push sent notifications down to individual machines and then they went and grabbed the new config from the server? How does a firewall with NAT know what machine to send the notification to? Any help would be appreciated.
    Also, what are you supposed to manage users with, the Work Group Manager or the Profile Manager. It seems like apple is moving away from the WGM style of management, although you can't do everything in PM, like setting up home folders etc. Very confusing to a novice.
    Email Addresses in Profile Manager configurations and Webmail.
    I might be missing something really simple here, but no matter what I do the Profile Manager spits out a default payload for email with our FQDN as the email address for the user ([email protected]). I have set the local alias and checked the checkbox to allow our example.com domain to work. Manually setting the email address to [email protected] works just find. I'm a bit bothered that everytime I push a configuration out to a device I'll have to go back in and manually change the email address. Has anyone figured out how to change that?
    In webmail it always lists the email address as [email protected] instead of [email protected]. You can go in and edit the identity and all is right with the world, but that's sort of a pain? Seems like common sense that you could set that as the default.
    Kerberos
    I was excited to get a Single Sign On solution going for our users since it would come in handy, however, straight out of the box it just doesn't work.I'm also not sure what to look for in the logs to make sure that things are working smoothly. I'm joinging the client machines to the server by going into users and clicking join. Selecting the server from the drop down and hitting submit. Do I have to set up a search order and all that jazz or is that set up automatically then.  I can see that I'm getting tickets with the Ticket Viewer but I'm still getting prompted for passwords in mail, ichat, AFP etc. Close to giving up on that front.
    Any help or general words of encouragement appreciated. 

    Push
    You've opened the secure iChat port to have push notifications working? Take a look here for the right ports:
    http://help.apple.com/advancedserveradmin/mac/10.7/#apdCA9A73CE-5F0C-4BDC-93E8-2 952C362FA3E.
    On that page are all port numbers you need to forward to your server.
    Email
    The addresses being displayed as [email protected] is a bug in Lion Server in my opinion, you can file a bug report at apple.com/feedback.
    Kerberos
    Is as poorly documented as invisible in OS X Lion Server. Single Sign-On is a great tool for making services more user-friendly, it should be top of mind at Apple. You can file an enhancement request at apple.com/feedback.

  • How do I determine what is my CURRENT Profile, because Profile manager shows 3 and all the Q&As are ambiguous in that respect. Thx.?

    Yes, I see ambiguity. I also have some old backed up profiles and I have 3 profiles showing under the Profile Manager. The folder under "%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ " shows 2 of them, but HOW do I determine WHICH ONE is my current profile?? So far I was unable to browse up a clear answer. Thx.

    Somehow the newest Profile ''(Profile 2)'' ended up in the \Profiles\ folder instead of in it's own Profile folder which would have a name similar to the other two Profiles - 8 alpha / numeric string ''followed by'' a suffix, ''either Firefox assigned or user specified, like JP1''. <br />'''Default=1''' indicates the "active" Profile so we know that is the most current Profile.
    <pre><nowiki>[Profile2]
    Name=JP1
    IsRelative=1
    Path=Profiles
    Default=1 </nowiki></pre>

  • Firefox works fine on version 26. When it updates to version 27, i get undefined entity. I've tried getting profile manager to run and it won't. Need help

    Version 26 works fine. When it updates to version 27.01, I get undefined entity. I've tried uninstalling and then reinstalling. I've tried to bring up profile manager but it doesn't come up. I've tried deleting Firefox folders. I'm very disappointed that Firefox rolls out an update that causes problems. None of your recommendations is working and I really hate to lose Firefox but this is pathetic. I'm using version 26 as much as i can till someone gives me the right solution. Is there a simple link to click on that will clear up any old profiles and simply fix this issue?

    That means you need to clean reinstall.
    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-and-diagnose-firefox-problems?esab=a&s=troubleshooting&r=3&as=s#w_5-reinstall-firefox here].
    Please report back to see if this helped you!
    Thank you.

  • Profile manager, app passwords and groups

    Howdy
    First question so be gentle!
    We've been using Profile manager for a few months and everything is working fine, but now we have a need to achieve the following:
    1. push out apps with usernames and passwords pre-filled (we use a number of apps that we share a login for - I realise this isn't ideal, but it's how the MD wants to do things) - is this possible?
    2. Is it possible to organise apps into groups...so travel apps are pushed into a folder called 'Travel' etc.
    Cheers

    I know youve probably already checked but are the ports open on the firewall as per http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5302 ?  I had problems doing the same until it twigged!

    You make a change on your iPhone. It doens't get sync'd to your computer.

    why remove the functionality to sync everything else at the same time, should the user choose or need to do so.
    The Sync Services functionality was removed from the OS, so there is nothing for iTunes to use.

  • Color profiles / management in CS4

    I am a freelance designer and been working with PS since its version 5. Most of my client don't have color management requirements so I never had to deal with this issue. Since CS4 install a few weeks ago, I've been having problems getting a new CMYK document to show white background. I have set my color settings to NORTH AMERICA PREPRESS 2 which seems to be the most common setting. Any CMYK document fails to show white color. It shows a yellowish color and I am unable to even overlay it with white. Sorry if I sound amateur but I never had to set anything is previous CS's. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    If you look at the setting for MONITOR COLOR, it actually turns off color management. In Prepress 2, have you expanded out the MORE OPTIONS button and taken a look at your conversion options? Also, you indicate you have Illustrator, you may want to note the settings there to make sure you're setting Photoshop up the same.
    BTW, if you have Illustrator I understand there is a setting in Bridge to sync color management for the Creative Suite applications. I only have PS CS4 so I can't verify this. A quick check of PS Help might help, just type in Color Management, then take a look at color intent,color settings, or keeping colors consistent.

  • Smart objects and convert color profile behaviour

    I get different results when converting to the same color profile before and after converting to smart object. Why?
    Do the following:
    1. create a cmyk document with color profile 'Euroscale Uncoated 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
    Why don't I get the same result?

    I found this topic looking for an answer to this exact same problem.
    Many of you refer to it as a bug / unexpected behaviour, which i thought it was either. But after some tests, it seems very logical behaviour actually to me now.
    It simply follows the rules in the color settings.
    In "Color Management Policies", when CMYK is set to "Preserve Embedded Profiles", it keeps the CMYK numbers for smart objects. Setting this to "Convert to Working CMYK" would make the color conversion as expected.
    However, i don't think this would be a good idea (depending on your workflow offcourse). For example, pasting a 100K shape from a coated.icc illustrator file into an uncoated.icc photoshop file, as a smart object, would convert the 100K (not keeping the CMYK numbers).
    I guess the workarround with a CMYK smart object into an RGB smart object (or maybe LAB), is ok to use when CMYK to CMYK conversion is really necessary for smart objects.

  • Odd color shift and OS color profile question

    I've run into something that leads me to believe that the OS X color profile management has caused me a problem. I'd like to figure out how to tell the OS to not manage color profiles in order to avoid future problems. So far this is only an issue when dealing with CMYK images.
    A little background...
    I received a JPEG image from a photographer. Converted it to CMYK and made minor edits in Photoshop, not touching the color profiles or trying to color correct. I saved a JPEG of the edited image, and imported it into Freehand 10. When imported, the entire image shifted slightly pink. When viewed in Preview or Photoshop it looked fine. It was only when I imported it that it shifted.
    A friend suggested this might have something to with color profiles, so I fiddled around with both PS and FH to make sure they were using the same ones. Even when they were the image shifted pink. This was on my desktop machine, recently upgraded to Tiger.
    I noticed my PowerBook was still running Panther. I took the same image, same data file, same programs and when I imported the image again, it was fine. Looked just like it did in PhotoShop and Preview. I immediately saved out a PDF for posterity and press use.
    Given the above, the only real variable is the version of the OS. This leads me to believe that there's something about how Tiger handles color profiles on the OS level that's causing this shift. What I don't know is how to remove the OS' meddling to remove it from the workflow.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance...

    Thanks for the info : I'll start with the 4th question because it's the less known factor with Elements
    If you shoot raw, the settings of your camera (Adobe RGB) will be ignored. This setting works only with the out of camera jpegs. A 'raw' file has no color profile, so PSE needs to know which profile you want for the conversion. You won't find any menu or dialog entries in ACR for that purpose. So, to convert the file when you 'Open' in the editor, PSE looks at the settings in your editor (my question #2, Menu Edit/Color settings...
    If you have chosen option 1, 'Always optimize for computer screens', PSE will convert the raw file to sRGB profile.
    If you have chosen 'Always optimize for printing', PSE will convert to aRGB...
    If you want to take advantage of the slightly wider color space of Adobe RGB because your home printer can use it, select the second option, but if you have to send the picture in sRGB, do not forget to convert before sending. Menu /image/convert color profile.
    If you don't want to bother, use sRGB with the option 1. You won't risk forgetting to convert the client version.
    Never use 'No color management' in the menu /edit/color settings
    If you first convert to sRGB with option 1, you won't get any advantage to convert to aRGB afterwards

  • Color Profiles and Printing

    Hi all, First timer here so please be gentle!
    I have recently purchased LR3 (I know!) and having trouble printing from there.
    I have a Spyder Express calibarted monitor and as instructed both in LR Help and elsewhere on the net, I select the color profile of my printer and paper (Canon MP990 with Plus Glossy II) from within LR and ensure color management is set to "None" within the printer driver. When doing this (with both Relative and Perceptual Rendering) I experience slight out of shift colors when printing. I understand I might expect this as the printer can never match what I see on screen 100% but here's the rub....When turning off the screen calibration profile using the Spyder utility on the toolbar, the colors displayed are near exact what I'm seeing on my prints. Also, I have been experimenting with many different options and when I select "Managed by printer" within LR, and then "Driver" Color Management within the printer driver I once again get near perfect match to what I see on screen using the claibrated monitor profile!??
    I know this means I can just do one of the above to get prints matching what I see on screen but I also like to publish pics on the net and send some away for printing so how can I be sure which (if any) of my "workarounds" are valid or if there is some underlying problem somewhere which means that when following the instructions of LR, Canon, Windows and many internet guides, my prints do not match my calibrated monitor profile? And why is it that selecting "Pinter Managed" with "Driver" OR truning of my screen calibration and using the stated instructions result in better color rendition?
    Apologies if this is not LR specific (guess could be a problem with Win, Canon or Monitor profile rather than LR) but my Google search led me here and there appears to be a wealth of expertise available here on such matters!

    i once had to print on a epson P50 printer from my sister because my own printer was send in for service.
    i have a full color managed system from monitor, scanner to printer.
    but i have never managed to get good results with the P50 when i selected that photoshop should do the color handling.
    the prints with the printer driver doing the color handling looked much better then the photoshop managed prints.
    there are some ICC profiles for epson paper coming with the P50 and of course i used them (i was printing on epson premium semigloss) ..... but it did not help a bit.
    and yes i know about disabling color management in the printer driver when PS does the color handling.
    trust me.. there was no double color handling.
    after some testprints i found out that i have to set the color handling to "printer driver" and change the color adjustment to "Adobe RGB" and "Gamma 1.8" in the printer driver.
    that way the P50 produced good looking prints. not 100% perfect but much closer to my calibrated monitor display (i use a dtp94 for profiling).
    that will not help you with your canon printer.. thought.. but i just want to tell you...your are not alone.
    that said my Epson R2880 prints PERFECT when photoshop does the CM and i would never let the printer driver do the color handling on this printer.
    i guess some printers are just not working well when photoshop (or lightroom) does the color handling.
    especially cheap consumer models.
    a friend had an epson R200 and complained about the same issues i had with the P50.
    he always had to fiddled around in PS to adjust the images for printing and i don´t mean subtle changes.
    i gave him my settings and his prints looked better, immediately with no need for PS adjustments.
    i know that is against everything you might have read in books or heard in tutorial videos about printing. i wondered too and that was why i have done a few dozend testprints with the P50, trying all the different settings.
    they always say that you have to let photoshop do the color handling... (and i can say it´s true for the R2880 or R3880)... but my experience with cheap epson models (R200, P50) tell another story.

  • Argh! Profile Manager and Code-Signing of profiles

    I am setting up Profile Manager in Mavericks with Server.app 3.0.1.
    I have DNS correctly setup, I have created an OD Master for Profile Manager, Profile Manager is running and network users can login and I can setup profiles. I also have the https site working properly for clients although that needed some help.
    We have a self-signed root CA and off that we have two intermediate CAs, one for signing server SSL certificates, and one for signing codesigning certificates. On my server I have installed the rootCA, and the intermediate CAs and of course the server SSL certificate itself. As mentioned initially I had a problem with the https site on the server and what was happening was that the server was not sending the intermediate certificate along with the server certificate to clients. (The clients already have our rootCA certificate installed and trusted.)
    As a result the chain was incomplete and clients did not trust the http site. I tracked this down to the files in /etc/certificates it turned out that of the four files for the server certificate i.e. .key.pem, .chain.pem, .concat.pem and .cert.pem that the .chain.pem did not contain the intermediate CA. I replaced it with the intermediate CA pem file and restarted Apache and clients now get the full chain and can therefore trust the https site.
    My problem now is with the codesigning certificate, this also has been selfsigned this time by the intermediate codesigningCA. It is accepted by Profile Manager and it does sign the profiles. However when I download the Trust profile and try installing it, it comes back unverified. (If it was unsigned it would say unsigned instead.) This trust profile contains a copy of the server certificate and the rootCA certificate but does not contain the intermediate codesigningCA certificate.
    I tried the same trick of swapping out the codesigning .chain.pem file in /etc/certificates but this did not help. I am currently stuck, any suggestions from any one?
    Thanks.

    I would really appreciate being walked through these steps. I just upgraded to Yosemite and Server.app 4 and am dealing with all the brokenness.
    Profile Manager does not show a code signing certificate when I ask it to sign configuration profiles.
    I DO NOT have the Code Signing Certificate in my keychain created when OD was created.
    I DO have the four code signing certificate files:
    /etc/certificates/host.domain.tld.Code Signing Certificate.<UUID hash>.cert.pem
    /etc/certificates/host.domain.tld.Code Signing Certificate.<UUID hash>.chain.pem
    /etc/certificates/host.domain.tld.Code Signing Certificate.<UUID hash>.concat.pem
    /etc/certificates/host.domain.tld.Code Signing Certificate.<UUID hash>.key.pem
    Furthermore, when I search my System keychain passwords, for <UUID hash>, I see that have the password that decrypts these pem's, e.g. via the openssl command
    openssl rsa -outform der -in 'host.domain.tld.Code Signing Certificate.<UUID hash>.key.pem' -out 'host.domain.tld.Code Signing Certificate.<UUID hash>.key'
    What's the specific step-by-step to convert these four files into something that Profile Manager can use to sign configuration profiles?
    I am stuck.

  • When one FF profile is open, and user clicks another FF icon, system wont popup the profile manager. The "Dont ask at Startup" option is unchecked. Issue is seen in Windows 7 Enterprise edition

    I am using FF 3.6.12 and had created several profiles. When i launched FF, then at first time Profile Manager pops-up and ask for profile to choose.
    Then Once i have selected a profile, FF launches.
    Then again i try to launch the FF, but then system opens the same profile again n again. No Profile manager pops-up.
