Color space question for photoshop cs on mac os10

I'm sure this has been beaten to death here before. I've been dealing with color space issues for months now, and I'm about at my wits end.
I realize that I should be saving in sRGB in order to get the same looking photo on the web that I get in photoshop. I go image-mode- convert to profile- destination space- profile: srgb profile. I've tried saving for web. I check "ICC" when I do that. When I just save an image as a jpeg (from a tiff), I check the box that says, "embed color profile." Still, my images look washed out on my website (which I made with iweb)- which I'm trying to put my images in a new web interface (flash palette) and my images STILL look washed out. The weird thing is, I NEVER have this issue when I upload images to photobucket or to the photography forum that I frequent.
What the heck am I doing wrong??
Thanks,
Hope

>> images are still a bit washed out with a warmish/ yellow cast to them, particularly, my black and white images
Here is a simple test to help evaluate if the monitor profile is reasonably good:
Open a RGB file in Photoshop (flatten if not already flattened).
Press M key> Drag a selection> Com+Shift+U (Desaturate).
Com+Z (to toggle back and forth).
If the unsaturated selection looks neutral you've got a reasonably fair monitor profile.
If selection has color casts (not neutral) -- you have a bad monitor profile
+++++
Here is a simple test to help evaluate if a bad monitor profile is whacking out your Photoshop color:
Monitors/Displays (control panel)> Color> highlight AppleRGB or sRGB (don't run Calibrate), quit and reboot.
If the Photoshop colors are back under control, then the problem was most surely a bad monitor profile go back into Monitors/Displays> Color and Calibrate a good profile highlight (load) sRGB, or preferably, the monitor's OEM profile as a starting point.
If you are using a puck, it is likely defective; or your monitor hardware is the culprit...search it on Google by model number

Color Space Question For Printing

I have multiple newbie questions so please bear with me
Normally when working in photoshop, I tend to use the RGB color space as I need the use of filters and other effects not available in CMYK, Now when printing flyers E.g A4 Sized I tend to save the PSD in RGB (Without Flattening) and then importing it into a CMYK color space in illustrator and then exporting as a PDF, as illustrator gives me the option to create bleed as well as trim marks, I have never exported a PDF from photoshop as it always gives me the option of photoshop pdf which is kinda heavy.
My question is, is the process I use okay for printing? or do I first need to convert it into CMYK? or just export from photoshop itself? Also, the other reason I use illustrator is if i'm making a business card with two sides, since text is better exported from illustrator.
Could anyone tell me a simpler process for creating for digital print? Especially if I need to do some items in illustrator as well.

Color Space info for images

Hi all,
I would like to show the color space details for an image. Do you know what field mapping is required?
Thanks,
A.

Color space support for png files

kindly suggesting :
color space support for png files, requiring the support (read/write) of the chunks: iCCP, cHRM, gAMA, sRGB

Hi ChrisT,
Thanks for the suggestion. I went to:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4063&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=4148...
Which is the software update page for my model. I see 10 items under Software Solutions, 8 of which are just video tutorial updates, not actual application updates (and none of those are for the Photo App). The two application updates are:
HP TouchSmart Recipe Box Application Update
HP Support Assistant Application Update
So, are you saying that PNG file types are supported in some versions of the Photo App and I don't have the correct version? Or in other words, what am I missing?
Cheers,
D

Having corrected my corrupt catalog (PSE 11) I now have thousands of duplicate images. Is there any way of of removing the extra copies? I've had suggestions that apply to Windows, and iPhoto but can't find any advice for Photoshop Elements on Mac Maveric

You used the data. Verizon can not see what it was sued for. However your phone can see whats apps used the data. go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle. line the dates up with your cycle. then there will be a bar graph below that extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right. after those are extended below that will be a list of apps, there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse

Need color management settings for photoshop version 8.0

I need to reset the color management settings for photoshop 8.0. Can someone let me know what are the correct defaults?

Probably the most commonly used is "North American Prepress 2" but which you choose depends entirely on the kind of work you are currently doing.

To retain color space value for Monochrome images during flattening.

In our project, we are extracting image content from PDF file and doing some raster operation by using LeadTool and then flattening the processed image in PDF file.
Input PDf file: One page which has monochrome image
For extracting image content from PDF file, we are using below Acro Plugin API:
AVConversionConvertFromPDFWithHandler
After this, we will perform some raster operations by using LeadTool and then flattening will happen.
While doing flatten we are performing below operations in sequence:
1. Set bitspercomponent =1.
2. Create a new color table using DeviceRGB.
3. Create image by using below Acro Plugin API:
pdeimage = PDEImageCreate(&attrs, sizeof(attrs), &matrix, 0, cols1, NULL, &fil, asstm, NULL, 0);
4. Add image in PDF content.
Now flattening is successful, but monochrome(Original Image format) is changed to RGB. We want to retain the color space(DeviceGrey).
We have tried the below solution to retain the color space:
1. Using the old image's color space value for new image creation. But this gives inverted color(Black to White and vice versa)
Please help us to retain the color space while flattening.

We are using JPG file format.
Please find below the code portions which we used to add image in PDF file,

Cannot get CS3 photoshop on my mac os10 to open my canon rebel T1i .CR2 files

I have spent hours downloading a variety of stuff and still cannot get CS3 photoshop on my mac os10 to open my canon rebel T1i .CR2 files. I have downloaded the Camera Raw 4.6 plugin. Photoshop acknowledges that is the version installed. But it won't recognize the .CR2 file type. When I say show me all files, the files show up in the open file dialog, and the thumbnails look right, but when I open the file it is munged. I also installed the DNG Converter, which also does not recognize the .CR2 files.
Has anyone figured this out yet? It has been almost a year. I don't want to upgrade to CS4 or 5 or buy Lightroom.

The Adobe DNG Converter 6.2 will open your files, if you have an uncorrupted download and use it properly. No doubt about that.
Once you launch it, be sure to target a folder containing raw files, not the raw files themselves. At least on the Mac, the DNG Converter works on folders, not on individual files.
Alternatively, you can try dragging and dropping the individual raw files onto the DNG Converter icon.
Some routine maintenance may be overdue on your Mac, such as Repairing Permissions with Apple's Disk Utility, running Onyx or Cocktail, etc.

HSB Color Space Question - How Many Colors Are There In Photoshop

Hello guys, I have a sort of basic question that I have been trying to figure out for a few days.
I am trying to find out how many colors there are in the Color Picker when the Hue radio button is selected.
I know there are 256^3 RGB (#Hex) colors, and I am trying to find some relationship when I am coloring with HSB color space in Photoshop.
It just confuses me because the Hue slider goes from 0-359 and the S and B goes from 0-99...
So how many HSB colors in Photoshop are there? Am I missing out on some colors by using HSB color space in Photoshop as oposed to using RGB?
Are there the exact same amount? Are there more and there are duplicates in HSB space mode?
Thank you all for all your help, much appreciated
Travis

The deficiency of such mathematical models is that they do not take into account noise and human perception. In an 24 bit RGB space (8 bits per channel) there may be 16 million colors, but this assumes that there are 256 discrete levels in each color channel. You could increase the number of colors by using a 48 bit space. In practice, noise will reduce the number of discrete levels, and this will vary with the camera and ISO used in that camera. For example, consider the Nikon D5000 as evaluated by DXO. At base ISO the camera can resolve only 21.8 bits of color information and this decreases to 15.6 bits at an effective ISO of 2079 (camera ISO setting of 3200).
http://www.dxomark.com/index.php/eng/Image-Quality-Database/Nikon/D5000
Then you have to consider how many of these colors can actually be differentiated by the human visual system. If you can't see a difference, it really doesn't matter.These differences are difficult to quantitate. One such effort uses MacAdam ellipses shown in this Wikipedia article on a CIE 1931 xy plot. How many of these ellipses are contained in the CIE xy space? The DXO site has similar ellipses for real world camera images.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacAdam_ellipse
See this RIT FAQ for a more sober real world analysis. The actual number of colors is in the millions, but likely not 16 million.
http://www.cis.rit.edu/mcsl/outreach/faq.php?catnum=1#219
In a real world situation, I would not be overly concerned about differences between the RGB and HSB spaces, but one could increase precision by using a 48 bit space.

Can't access Color Management options for HP 6700 under Mac OS 10.8.5 (Mountain Lion)

Hello.
I've got the HP Officejet 6700 Premium e-All-in-One and I can't find any way to access Color Management options.
The printer is attached (Wi-Fi) to my iMac running Mac OS 10.8.5 (Mountain Lion).
I want to correct a magenta cast to photographs that I've printed. I've had the magenta-cast problem under Lightroom and using Preview to print the photographs, so now I want to work with color profiles in Photoshop Elements.
Photoshop Elements recommends that I "disable color management in the printer preferences dialog".
However, I'm not able to find color management preferences for the 6700 in any of the settings under Mountain Lion:
Not under (Apple) > System Preferences > Print & Scan.
Not under (HP Utility) > Open Embedded Web Server.
Not under (HP Utility) > Printer Settings.
Not under Preview's print dialog.
Nor can I find any clear direction in the online help (at HP or elsewhere) that I've read so far.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
Thank you!
Michael
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Please note that in the Print dialog I get "Color Matching" not "Color Management."
Still, I am (at this point) able to control color from Photoshop Elements, so that's good enough to proceed.
Thanks again.

Setting up color space between Aperture, Photoshop and my Epson 3880

Hi. I use Aperture to do quick fixes and Photoshop for more complex edits and printing. I have setup my export preference in Aperture to the external editor as 8 bit ProPhoto RGB and in Photoshop my color space as Prophoto RGB. I use mainly Nikon RAW files. (Epson suggests using ProPhoto RGB to get the most out of the ink). Does all this make sense? As a sort of related question I don't suppose there is a way to export RAW directly from Aperture to Photoshop using the mouse right click and edit with Photoshop option..

Yes, your setup makes sense, but the fact you're asking implies that you don't know much about colormanagement. Thus although this part of your workflow makes sense, it might well be that you're making error in the printing process for example. Get yourself a copy of the 'Real world colormanagement' by Bruce Fraser, to teach yourself all about it. Furthermore, when working in ProPhoto RGB, I'd suggest working in 16-bit instead of 8-bit, to reduce possible banding in color gradients.
By export RAW directly to Photoshop, I believe that you mean opening the RAW-file in Camera RAW? No, there is no way of doing that directly, though Aperture does have an export master option, allowing you to place a copy of the original RAW-file anywhere on your hard drive.

Trivia question for Photoshop CS5 connoisseurs

What would cause my printer to print in such way? See photo attached. It will only happen in Photoshop CS5. It printed ok in Ai. Looks like the color components are not lining up.
I reset the settings on CS5, aligned my printer, printed a test page and tried a little bit of Juju...
Need help or suggestions.

Doesn't look like a familiar failure to me, though it crossed my mind that maybe the printer had run out of one of the colors of ink - but that possibility seems to be dispelled by your saying it prints properly from other apps.
Screen grab your print dialog and printer settings dialog. Maybe it's some kind of "double color management" problem.
Other questions you can answer that may help someone help you:
1. What system, what OS, what printer (specifics are needed)?
2. What color space is your document in?
Armed with the screen grabs and specific system/printer info, maybe someone with a similar setup will be able to say what they do to make prints work properly for them.

Color Space Question

I've imported a jpg created in photoshop with embedded sRGB profile(via Save for Web), but when I soft proof to Lightroom's sRGB profile I see out-of-gamut colors. Is Lightroom doing something with the imported color space?

It's a bug. In both ACR, LR and Photoshop. Of course it show no OOG colors but shouldn't. Ignore it. In fact, the OOG overlay which predates Photoshop 5 with real soft proofing isn't at all useful.

Color Space Question... using Lagarith Lossless Codec.

Hi all,
I use the Lagarith Lossless Codec for all my source editing files importing into Premiere Pro and for exporting to my encoder I use.
My question is this. I found that most of my sources are in YUV color space, so when I prep them for editing using VirtualDub, etc... I export them to Lagarith Lossless Codec in the YUY2 color space setting. The size difference between using RGB and YUY2 is enough to make me want to just use YUY2. So when editing those prepped files in YUY2 in Premiere Pro and them exporting the in the same YUY2 color space configuration, does it degrade in quality at all? I heard somewhere that Premiere Pro ONLY edits in RGB color space. So am I really messing up here or is it safe to do what I am doing?
Thanks in advance!

Premiere Pro will keep the color space of the original media. And many of the effects can now also operate in YUV space (They are marked by the YUV icon.) However, any effects you use that are not marked with that icon will force an RGB conversion.

How to find the Color Space name for a PDEElement

Hi
I am trying to find out the color space for each PDEElement in my PDF file. While doing this,
I put some debug statements ( cout stmts ) that print the color_space as integer values. I gave this list
after the code. I belive the color spaces should be something like CMYK, DeviceRGB,DeviceGray..etc.
How can I know the actual color space name coresponding to these numbers printed in Debug statements.
Kindly please help me..
void   ProcessElementDetails(PDEElement element)
                PDEGraphicState gfx_state;
                ASInt32 pdeType = PDEObjectGetType(reinterpret_cast<PDEObject>(element));
    ofstream outfile("E:\\temp\\test.txt",ios::app);
    outfile<<"ProcessElementDetails\n";
    if ( pdeType == kPDEText )
      outfile<<"PDE Text type\n";
      PDEText pde_text = (PDEText) element;
      ASInt32 num_run,i;
          num_run = PDETextGetNumRuns(pde_text);
      outfile<<"Number of Runs for PDEText :"<<num_run<<"\n";
      for (i = 0; i < num_run; i++)
        PDETextGetGState(pde_text,kPDETextRun,i,&gfx_state, sizeof (PDEGraphicState));
        ASAtom color_space = PDEColorSpaceGetName(gfx_state.fillColorSpec.space);
        outfile<<"Color Space :"<<color_space<<"\n";
    if (pdeType == kPDEImage )
      outfile<<"PDE Image type\n";
      PDEElementGetGState(element,&gfx_state,sizeof (PDEGraphicState));
      ASAtom color_space = PDEColorSpaceGetName(gfx_state.fillColorSpec.space);
      outfile<<"Color Space :"<<color_space<<"\n";
    if (pdeType == kPDEContainer)
      outfile<<"PDE Container type\n";
                        PDEContent content = PDEContainerGetContent(reinterpret_cast<PDEContainer>(element));
                        ASInt32 numElem = PDEContentGetNumElems(content);
                        for (ASInt32 i = 0; i < numElem; i++)
                             element = PDEContentGetElem(content, i);
                             ProcessElementDetails(element);

As you may have noticed, the "numbers" you see are actually of type ASAtom -
which is a type declared in the SDK to represent reused strings. You have to
read the relevant documentation to learn how to use the SDK - there is no
way around it. The Acrobat SDK is very powerful, but also a lot more
complicated than most people expect when they start to work with it. Take
your time to learn how to use it.
In this particular case, you need to call this function to convert the
ASAtom to a string:
const char* ASAtomGetString<http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/10/Acrobat10_HTMLHelp/API_References/Acrobat_API_Ref erence/AS_Layer/ASAtom.html#ASAtomGetString135%28%29>
