Lightroom's color management paper options don't match any paper i can buy from Canon

Up to now I have been using "managed by printer" for printing on my new Canon MG8250. But i have seen several suggestions that i should let Lightroom manage the colors so i decided to give this a go by choosing "other" instead.
This gave me a list of papers to choose from: Canon IJ Color printer profile 2005, fine art photo rag 2, GL2/SG2, GL3/SG3, MP2, Other fine art paper 2, PT1, PT2, PT3. All the names being preceded by MG8200 series apart from the first one
However, when i looked up the papers available from Canon, these were all different:  Photo paper pro platinum (PT-101), photopaper pro luster (LU-101), photo paper plus glossy II (PP-201), photo paper plus semi-gloss (SG-201), glossy paper everyday use (GP-501), Matte photo paper (MP-101)
There are some papers here which look as if they they might relate to the lightroom list eg PT-101 and PT1, SG-201 and SG2 but, at the moment, i am particularly interested in which option should be used to match the photo paper plus glossy II (PP-201) paper which I have bought - GL2 looks as if it might be a contender
Any help would be most appreciated

Hi ssprengel,
Thanks for the reply. I didn't know how these things work but now realise that my profiles seem to have been sitting in windows/system32/spool/drivers/color  since I bought the computer in 2010.
The guide you referred to suggested that at least one of the profiles on my computer, GL3, should be suitable (there was no mention of GL2) In fact I ended up trying most of my profiles but they all had a very distinct red tint which was completely unacceptable. I even tried specifying and downloading a new profile from Ilford (I can't see where to get these from Canon) but this had the same red tint. When using the profiles I did switch off Color Management in the Print Preferencies, or rather i set it to manual and left all the sliders at zero.
When i used "managed by printer" there was no red tint and the print looked reasonably good although not quite matching the screen, particularly in brightness.
It may be worth mentioning that, for the profiles, the red tint was obvious in the print preview. I did not have to wait until the actual print, although I obviously did print to check.
I did try printing my RAW files to JPEG then printing via Explorer and this ended up around the same quality as "managed by printer" directly from Lightroom
Any ideas  about what causes the red tint when using the profiles?

  • Color management policy options

    Indesign 5.03 mac os x 10.5.4
    basic CMC workflow only for the visualisation
    Preserve Numbers (Ignore Linked Profiles) when occurs an conflict with profiles
    this is the option, I have set to protect the cmyk color for the imported images and as well for the objects created in Indesign self, means it never changes the cmyk values of any cmyk color ... like 80%y 80c will remain, even if the document created in a coated work space and is converted to the current workspace uncoated
    seams to work so far.
    to proof this I've created a pdf and picked up the colours in acrobat pro they are still 80%Y 80%C
    is this reasoning correct? 
    then I am gone a step further and wanted to see what happens with the cmyk values, when I set the option to Convert the document To Working Space which was completely different to the current workspace !
    again created a PDF have measured he values in acrobat, which to my surprise were still the same!
    no matter what I Adjusters, the cmyk values do not change neither for placed object nor for objects created in indesign ?!
    any ideas ?

    thanks for responding
    I tried like you told
    I created a document wit the settings 'convert to workspace' ( for RGB and CMYK ) workspace for RGB it was ECIv2.icc and ISO Coated for CMYK
    I imported a RGB pictures, filed with RGB 90 50 150 (.eps) the profile RGB ECIv2 embedded. I created the colour (RGB 90 50 150) directly in the document as well.
    I closed the document and changed the workspace in Indesign to s'RGB and ISO Uncoated and opened the document again. the warning pops up and I set / convert to the documents work space ( well there, it has 3 options for placed objects /remain the assigned profiles / activate all or deactivate all / i tried all of them ) this option I don't understand ....
    observation:
    it didn't change anything on the colour, neither for the imported image ether for the colour created in Indesign.
    but !! when select from the edit 'convert to profile' and I select the sRGB
    the values for the colour created in Indesign change in the colour pallet to RGB 89 54 144 and this is how I expect.
    this behavior, I would expected by when the option convert to .. is set
    thanks for helping

  • There is no "manage account" option for sync on any of my devices, and I can't set up any new sync devices. How do I fix this?

    Since none of my devices have a "manage account" selection under Sync (or Sync set up), there's no way to get or reset my recovery key. I only see "Set up Firefox sync" and "Pair a device". Everything else leads to a dead end without access to a recovery key or being able to manage the account.

    I 100% agree with the comments from the very frustrated users on this thread. This has happened to me too many times and still there is no clear fix from Mozilla. I am starting to wonder if there is even a human being behind the replies on this forum. The responses are completely condescending.

  • Mac book pro start up, white screen pops up and it don't process any further! Can anyone help?

    When my laptop was updating the software it was stuck on installing the updates. I held the power button then turned the laptop back on! It makes the on sound but stay on the white screen! Can anyone help?

    Hey Antonioaok,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. If you are getting the white screen when you start up, there are a few steps that can be done. The first one would be resetting your NVRAM
    About NVRAM and PRAM
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    The next step, if it does not boot to your operating system would be to attempt to boot into safe mode. These steps are also based on the fact that your profile states you are running Snow Leopard.
    Mac OS X 10.6: Starting up in safe mode
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH6455
    To start up in safe mode:
    Shut down your computer and wait 10 seconds.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold down the Shift key.
You should press the Shift key as soon as possible after you hear the startup tone, but not before.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple logo and progress indicator (spinning gear).
    To leave safe mode, restart the computer normally without holding down any keys during startup.
    If after that, you were still not able to get into your operating system, the last step would be trying to reinstall the operating system.

  • My Macbook Pro won't boot up, I don't have any discs...bought from Craigslist

    I bought my Macbook Pro (2012 model) from Craigslist and only had it about a week, but this morning I couldnt boot it up.  I didnt get any discs with this computer. Only the powercord.  What can I do to get it to boot up and where can I go from there?  There was a software update last night and this morning it won't boot up.  Is my only option going to Apple Store? Is there anything else I can try to at least get it to boot up??  Thanks so much. 

    Yea, it has Mountain Lion on it. I have tried starting while holding down Command-R, and also the Comand R, Option P, and still won't let me boot up.  I made an appointment for a Genius Bar... Is this who I make the appointment with for help with this?  We checked the seriel number from "About this Mac" and we went to view that it had a few years left of apple care. It happened right after a software update.  Wonder if that caused it. Is there viruses out there for Mac's and should I have a program to clean it up after I get it going or IF I get it going tonight?  Thanks,
    Curt

  • My iMac is printing duplexed documents on a wirelessly connected Epson printer extremely slowly (minutes), but prints fast from and IOS device using AirPrint.  Settings don't offer any help.  Can anyone advise, please?

    I have a one-year old (intel) iMac, now running on Mountain Lion.  I have a wireless network with an Epson Photo Stylus PX830FWD printer which has an auto-duplexer.  My problem is that when I print a two-sided document, the print takes minutes rather than seconds.  It prints at normal speed if I use the print facility on my iPad or iPhone (AirPrint), which suggests that the Mac settings are at fault.  I have been through all the settings on System Preferences that I can find, but nothing makes any difference.
    I didn't notice it prining at slow speed on Snow Leopard or Lion OSX!
    Any suggestions, please?

    I just figured out the print quality issue for my wife with her new iMac and new printer.
    She replaced both at once and she couldn't understand why her Artisan 730 was lower quality then her Epson R280 when they had the same specs.
    Turns out the newer printer had the option to connect via wifi which we used during setup.
    The driver options are completely different depending on how you connect.
    Once I connected via USB the correct options were available and the print quality was better.
    Looking at the R2400 it dies not have wifi, but while researching the problem for my wife someone esle was having an issue updating to the latest printer driver.
    If you go into the print utility from the Printer and Scanner system preference and under the general tab you should have driver 5.5.
    One user had to delete the old printer driver before Software Update loaded the newer printer driver.

    On my MacBook Pro (w Snow Leopard) I always had to reconnect my wifi at home when it woke up. I upgraded my router from an old Netgear to a newer N D-Link and stopped having to do that.
    I would be surprised you would have that problem with an Airport Extreme, you might check to see if there is a firmware update for it.

  • Invalid Color Management in Lightroom? (RAW)

    I've noticed the strange thing, how Adobe Camera RAW 4.1.1 displays the same image differently in Photoshop CS3 & Lightroom 1.4.1
    Here are the screenshots from both programs:
    What I've got in Lightroom/develop mode:
    http://www.imagebam.com/image/956c3d6537871
    What I've got in Photoshop:
    http://www.imagebam.com/image/17a67c6537874
    Notice the reds on the face and oranges on the trees on the background. 1) Face on second, photoshop variant is more reddish. 2) The contrast differs as well!
    3) There is more orange on the leaves on the second image.
    That's all happens in the preview in Lightroom - if I export image as a JPEG and open it in Photoshop - the images will be the same. But BEFORE the export they're DIFFERENT! What's wrong?
    (Image is shot on Sony Alpha 350, white balance and all the settings in Camera RAW are the same in two programs).

    >yes they are, but in practice PDF causes lot's of bugs.
    My experience is opposite in that pdf is usually the only thing that actually works for multipage documents and things containing vector graphics. For single page photos of course tiff always works, but there are lots of clueless operators that do not know their behind from a color profile.
    >In my experience colors will be different even for an eye of a consumer. On some printers red will be more reddish, on others green more greenish etc. The contrast will differ either. Maybe you and we use different printers. BTW I work on Windows, maybe that's the point.
    I have always had basically perfect results. There was a time when Lightroom interacted wrong with printer drivers when you used profiles inside of the program instead of having the printer driver manage for you. This has long been fixed. Of course there are subtle differences between printers and it would be good if Lightroom had some sort of soft proofing to judge this in advance. The differences are usually pretty minor though nowadays.
    >Well, Noritsu, as I know, for example, uses its own color management profile, which you cannot tune even in Photoshop. If you use sRGB, it will be ignored, and you'll get a very low contrast print with desaturated color and you have to be there when it's printed to tune it with the lab assistant. Usually they do it themselves ... well... good. I have SOME good experience with Costco. But for many cases I can't get my colors and contrast without being there when it's printed. And it depends on paper - is it metallic, for example, or matte. The picture will be different. The colors will be different. And you can't check it exactly on your monitor being at home, or in office.
    I tested this extensively. If you do this right, it is very hard to see the difference between a sRGB print and a print converted to the profile. With well-tuned Noritsus, you get a small difference in oranges, and a tiny difference in greens - independent of the paper you use. This is the whole point of these machines. If you feed them sRGB, they should give you great results. Maybe my local costcos is very good, but I doubt they are very different from other labs. I tried both Matte and Glossy and they both showed the same result. This is borne out by softproofing in Photoshop that shows exactly the same effect. Note that I wrote about using lab profiles with Lightroom extensively and always tell people to use the profile, but in reality it really is not that important.
    See for example: http://lagemaat.blogspot.com/2008/05/great-prints-from-labs.html
    If you see large differences in contrast and saturation, there really is something wrong with your calibration workflow or your lab. FOr good prints, the only thing they need to do is to turn off their auto color correction, which with most labs you can do automatically in the online submission pages. I should tell you that you do have to judge prints under good lighting. Often these differences are simply caused by one day being sunny and the other overcast when you walk out on the parkinglot and take out your prints. This is not a real difference. Use a good high color rendering index lamp of high color temperature and you will see that they were the same. My local costcos is calibrated by drycreek photos every month and the profile hardly changes at all over time.
    >I don't know, Jao, maybe your point in photography is different, and you don't pay so much attention on colors. These things are subjective! Maybe you pay more attention on other components of photo. In my experience it takes lots of time to prepare a 40"x30" photo for print and then it takes more time and money to colormatch it.
    Actually my work is almost always about color. Perhaps I don't sweat it as much. I'd really like Lightroom to have some kind of soft proofing though showing how anal I am about color. I don't use costcos for prints larger than 12x18 as they don't do it locally, but I usually use smugmug's lab (EZprints) for the really large prints. They color manage for you and supply a profile that you can soft proof to if you want. They also appear to scale and sharpen the prints somehow. I've always had outstanding results from them and you can send back the images that you don't like at no cost, although I have never had to do that. I also use smugmug for galleries that clients can order from directly. They have always been very happy with the prints.
    >And I work in Windows, maybe your Mac does it better, maybe that's the point of my sad story. But Windows is my karma for many reasons.
    The point maybe, also, you print every time on the same printing hardware in Costco - that can explain it all.
    I have been happy with my costcos and with EZprints, but I doubt that it is much of an issue. As said, I don't use inkjets very often as they are so darn expensive and annoying to operate but I have never had much issue with bad prints. There is no reason why you could not get windows to behave better. The only thing that you need is to calibrate regularly. I have seen on this forum that windows tends to corrupt monitor profiles over time. The issue is always fixed by recalibrating regularly. Once every month should be plenty.
