LR 2.5 and color profile problems with Samsung XL2370

Lightroom 2.5 / Windows XP3 / CS4 Photoshop / Samsung SyncMaster XL2370 LED monitor:
Changed monitor from Dell to Samsung's new LED SyncMaster XL2370. Updated Nvidia 7900GS card driver to latest version available.... resulting in a complete mixup of photo colors in Lightroom2.5 as well as CS4 Photoshop CR2(raw) and Tiff files; white becoming red, blue becoming green....., so really wrong!!! JPEG files are not affected.
When I change Color Settings(RGB) in CS4 Photoshop from ProphotoRGB or AdobeRGB1998 to Samsung monitor color profile, colors get at least more or less right.( I don't know how to do that in Lightroom?).
How can I resolve this situation? My complete photo archive is at stake obviously.
Thanks in advance for your help and support!!!
Paul

Thx Ian for your reply!  Some more questions...
-Is it "normal" when unpacking/installing a new monitor and updating card drivers that it mixes up color profiles? Your solutions seem still pretty expensive!
-How come that when using other (non Adobe)tools (e.g Canon Zoombrowser EX) colors are OK?
-I know how to specify color profiles in CS4 Photoshop but how do you do that in Lightroom?

  • Over-saturation and color profile problems

    Adobe Bridge CC color settings are set to North American General Purpose 2.
    Adobe Photoshop CC is synced with Bridge for color management. PS working space is sRGB
    The thumbnails and previews in Bridge match what opens in ACR and Photoshop. When I view the thumbnails in Win7 file explorer they are oversaturated. When I veiw them in web browsers they are oversatured and in some instances there is an intitial moment where they look one way, then the image transitions quickly to a more saturated version.
    In Photoshop under View > Proof Setup it is set to sRGB. When I turn on Proof Colors I can see the oversaturation in Photoshop.
    I am using a Spyder4 Pro to calibrate.
    I have an Asus PA24 wide gamut monitor.
    I see the same oversaturation on other consumer level (narrow gamut) computers and monitors.
    I've seen similar threads and I apologize if this is repetitive. The other threads got so long and off topic that I couldn't find my specific solution in them. If you know of a thread that may help, please refer me to it. Or if you know the solution, that would be most helpful. Thank you.
    Below is an example of Bridge and file explorer showing the same file differently. The Bridge view is what Photoshop is showing me too.

    So my assumption is the monitors profile is not the same as the files tagged profile
    My goodness, no. If they are, you get what's known as a null transform - IOW the whole color management chain is disabled.
    Your document profile is what it is, sRGB, Adobe RGB etc. When that file is sent to the display, those RGB values are remapped into your monitor profile. Put in other terms, the doc profile is converted, on the fly, to the monitor profile. You need both, one is converted into the other.
    When you run the Spyder software, it creates a profile and sets it as default monitor profile on OS level, where Photoshop finds it by itself. It also runs a general calibration, but that's not relevant here. Photoshop is only concerned with the profile, which is a description of the monitor's behavior in its current (calibrated) state. Just run the software and let it complete, don't do anything.
    Just to get on to some firm ground here: Try to set Adobe RGB as default monitor profile in Control Panel > Color Management > Devices (reboot). Since this is a wide gamut monitor (it is - isn't it?), Adobe RGB is in the ballpark, and it's a known good profile. So that's roughly how it should look.

  • Color profile problem after installing CS4

    OK.
    First, let me post these side-by-side comparisons:
    As you can see in Image 1 (the "before," left-side photo in each comparison), the colors and overall appearance are distorted. I've read things about gamma but it's all confusing to me. This is surely a color profile problem, right? The transition among pixels that involve colors of yellow and gray is rocky, grainy, and the flat out color is just wrong. Now this color problem affects pictures when opened in both Photoshop 7.0 and the standard Windows Photo Viewer. Meaning, whenever I open pictures in both PS 7.0 and Windows Photo Viewer (my default viewer), this color problem totally messes up certain photos and really damages my ability to edit. I'm an avid photo editor and it's imperative I have proper color display so that I can accurately edit. Keep in mind that certain pictures do not take on this error. When a photo is generally brighter, the distortion is basically invisible. It's photos that are dark or have dark portions in them that display the distortion.
    *Note: I took these before-and-after pictures with my camera, because screencapping would not work, since you all don't have the same color profile issue on your computer. That's the only way I can show you!
    HOWEVER, when I open photos in another standard Windows application, "Microsoft Office Picture Manager," the color problem is magically erradicated altogether. It shows photos as I've been seeing them all along, until I installed CS4 about two weeks ago. Before installing CS4, everything was fine and I had been using Photoshop 7 for years and have never had a problem. I'm guessing CS4 messed something up. It had to have. Just FYI, I uninstalled CS4, hoping it would reverse the problem. But still, the color issue persists in PS 7 and in my regular Windows Photo Viewer.
    Since images display their true form in Windows Office Picture Manager, I don't think I need to calibrate my screen. Or do I? I've read things about it, and to some people, it's not necessary. Right? Okay. I really hope someone can give some advice! Thank you!
    P.S. Here's the original photo. On my screen, it looks distorted when opened in photoshop or opened w/the viewer. However, here on Firefox, it's fine.

    You should try to familiarize yourself with the concepts of color management.
    It's kind of too in-depth a subject to walk you through from a cold start here...  There are a lot of good resources out there to help you get started.  For example, in just a few seconds Google turned up this:
    http://www.adobepress.com/articles/article.asp?p=1315593
    The one thing to remember is this:  There is NO quick solution, easy set of defaults, or direct answer to making your setup do what you want without your having to understand color management.
    People may tell you to calibrate your monitors, or use a particular color profile as a default, or whatever, and they may have good, solid reasons for telling you those things, but if you don't attempt to get your mind around color management it will always seem as though something isn't working right, or is simply magic, which will be frustrating to you.
    Here are some basic questions to ponder:
    What image color profile is your image carrying?
    Is your monitor a wide-gamut display and do you have a color profile set up for it?  What kind of monitor is it?
    What version of Windows are you running?
    Do you know the difference between a color-managed app and one that is not color-managed?
    Which of the apps you're using/showing above are color-managed?
    What are your settings in Edit - Color Settings?
    Take some time and do some research, get your head around the concepts, and it will all make more sense I promise you.

  • How to solve the Embed Color Profile problem...

    Hi Everyone,
    This vijay from Chennai. I have one doubt for rectify the Embed color Profile problem, that's is how can i judges whether the file had Embed Color Profile or not. anyone solve this problem.
    Thanks in Advance.

    I used another profiles name, because I dont have the old one installed anymore, Youll have to be exact about the letters though.
    And from a prepress-standpoint Id like to point out that removing the profile as opposed to »Convert to Profile« seems a peculiar practice, though of course Your reasons for doing so may be valid indeed.
    You could try:
    var myDocument = app.activeDocument;
    if (myDocument.colorProfileName == "U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2") {
    // =======================================================
    var idassignProfile = stringIDToTypeID( "assignProfile" );
    var desc2 = new ActionDescriptor();
    var idnull = charIDToTypeID( "null" );
    var ref1 = new ActionReference();
    var idDcmn = charIDToTypeID( "Dcmn" );
    var idOrdn = charIDToTypeID( "Ordn" );
    var idTrgt = charIDToTypeID( "Trgt" );
    ref1.putEnumerated( idDcmn, idOrdn, idTrgt );
    desc2.putReference( idnull, ref1 );
    var idmanage = stringIDToTypeID( "manage" );
    desc2.putBoolean( idmanage, false );
    executeAction( idassignProfile, desc2, DialogModes.NO );

    I'm going to guess videos buffer for a while also...
    Two possibilities, one is you should close apps on the iPad, the other is your internet speed is not able to handle the demands of a high speed device.
    To close apps:   Double click home button, swipe up to close the apps.
    To solve internet problem, contact your provider.   Basic internet is not enough for video games and movies.   Your router may be old and slow.

  • I am using my Ipad on a remote craftshow site and am having problems with battery lasting 8 hrs. Can I use a 12v rv battery to recharge it or atleast maintain the charg over longer periods of time? I have a dc adapter. thanks

    You should be able to use the battery if you get a car type charger which recharges mobile devices.
    The full size iPads use a 10-12W charger, whereas the mini uses a 5W charger. Many car chargers only supply 5W. But at 5W, the car charger should give you some extra time on your iPad. It would be best to use a 10-12W car charger.

    Going through the feedback and support pages will be a waste of your time. Apple won't respond to feedback, and support can't do anything regarding product suggestions, particularly not from a company with an existing product they wish to sell. The only attention you might get from Apple would be possible interest in selling your product through the Apple Stores, and I don't know how Apple chooses the third-party products they sell. All I could suggest would be writing to Apple's corporate headquarters:
    Apple
    1 Infinite Loop
    Cupertino, CA 95014
    with perhaps "Attention: Retail Sales Division" and telling them about your product and your interest in it being sold through the Apple Stores.
    Regards.

    What you need to do is boot into Safe Mode. Then delete the VGA Drivers.
    After that boot normally and install the latest nVidia ForceWare Drivers

    OK, let's try again. Wind is NOT a supported carrier. In order to use tethering, it must be supported and activated by your carrier for the iPhone. This usually involves an additional fee.  You will have to ask your carrier if they can enable it. Odds are, since they are not a supported carrier, they can not. If you want to use tethering, you will most likely have to switch to a supported carrier that offers this feature on the iPhone.

    I have an Imac  operating system 10.4.1 and Apple Works 6 and am having problems with Aplle Works 6. It shuts down before I am finished. Is there a place I can download Apple Works 6 onto my computer free?

    AppleWorks has never been available for legal download.
    Have you done the usual trouble shooting steps:
    Quit AppleWorks
    Delete most or all of the Recent Items list.
    Remove the Preferences files to the Desktop or to the Trash.
    Launch AppleWorks to see if the problems remain.
    You'll find Recent Items in:
    username > Documents > AppleWorks User Documents > Starting Points > Recent Items
    There are several preferences files.
    Go to:
    username > Library > Preferences
    Locate, select and delete the file com.apple.appleworks.plist
    Still in the Preferences floder, locate and open the folder AppleWorks.
    Select and delete the two Cache files and the Preferences file.
    Button Bars is also a preferences file, but may be left where it is IF you have no problems that appear related to the Button Bar, and wish to preserve any changes you've made to the Button Bar.
