LR3 Print Module: printing to profile - unable to change Color Matching

Hi
I use LR3 in 32 bit mode (there is no 64bit driver for HP DesignJet 130n).
I always print to profiles. In LR2 I had to make sure that in the PrintSettings the option Color Matching was set to "Vendor Machine", because although I saved this setting, LR never remembered.
Now with LR3 the option is again set to"Color Sync" but this time it cannot be changed.
Any suggestion?
Thanks
Bruno

Bob,
My problem is exactly what you say: you must find the appropriate place in the printer interface where you can disable all color management performed by the printer driver.
In OS X (10.5.) I know only of two places where I can handle Color Management: "Print Settings" and "Profile" in the LR3 Print Module.
By default LR3 sets the Print Settings "Color Matching" to "Vendor Machine" if I choose "Managed by the Printer" for the Profile.
By default LR3 sets the Print Settings "Color Matching" to "ColorSync" if I choose a custom printer/paper profile.
Where/what is "the appropriate place in the printer interface where you can disable all color management performed by the printer driver" ?

Print module - print to file options

When creating JPEGs using the Export function of the Library module, Lightroom 4 offers you very detailed control over the export options, including automated rules for the folder/filename structure.
When creating JPEGs using "print to file" in the Print module, the controls seem to be much more limited. Notably, the folder/filename has to be specified manually for each print job.
Is there a way to keep (or append to) the original filename when exporting from the Print module, short of typing it in by hand for every single image?
(For context: My print lab requires that submitted files exactly match the print, pixel-for-pixel, for everything to work correctly. If the file doesn't match, their print driver will scale and crop until it does. So, if I use the Library module's Export function and the aspect ratio of the file is different from that of the closest available paper, two edges may get cropped. Or, in other words, I have to pad the image with white bars to fill the paper's aspect ratio if I want it to print the way I want it to. The Print module creates files that are perfect for my purposes. But, since I can't figure out how to get it to keep the filename, the back print data on the paper copies- which I will need 8 years later to find the original when a re-print is ordered- is useless.)

Thanks Effeegee. At your suggestion, I tried LR/Mogrify + ImageMagick and, with a bit of tweaking, it does exactly what I need (and far more efficiently than LR4 Print).
For other users' reference, the LR/Mogrify configuration to do this is:
In Lightroom Library -> Export, LR/Mogrify adds "Post-Process Actions". Turn on "Background Canvas" and "Compress to file size".
Under the regular "Image Sizing" control, turn on "Resize to Fit: Dimensions" and set the paper size (long side first) and printer resolution. This resizes the image to fit within the specified paper size.
Under "Mogrify Canvas", set the paper size again (in pixels, long side first), and turn on "Adjust for landscape/portrait". This pads the image with blank borders to exactly fill the specified paper size.
Note that if the short side is specified first, LR/Mogrify sometimes pads on all sides....
To minimize additional JPEG artefacts, I suspect that under Lightroom export's "File Settings" the JPEG quality should be 100 (i.e. negligible loss) and the final compression should be done only after all post-process actions, i.e. use LR/Mogrify's "Compress to given file size". (But don't quote me on that as I haven't traced the actual code path.)

Photoshop Print Module Prints the Previous Number of prints instead of current selection Number

Does anyone have this problem?
Is there a fix?
Win XP64
PS CS5 v. 12.0.4 x32

It was reported a lot right after Photoshop CS5 was released.
Apparently it's really rooted in problems in the printer drivers. You might check to see if you can get a newer driver for your particular printer. Your workaround is to make your settings changes in the Photoshop Print dialog then go through the Print Settings button and press [OK]. This has the effect of getting the Print dialog settings to stick this time around.
On another subject: For what it's worth XP x64 isn't officially supported by Adobe. If you have a system that can run XP x64, why not upgrade it to Windows 7?

Save As function not available in the Print Module

Out of nowhere, the 'Save As' function isn't available in the Print Module. I have updated to 4.4, restarted Lightroom, etc. I can still export the images, just not save as a jpg. Can you help?

kwhitworth7,
There never was a <Save As> function in Lr, not in the Print Module and not anywhere else. Not in Lr1, Lr2, Lr3 or Lr4.
Lr does not do <Save As>. Lr works with a database, called the catalog, and every step done in Lr is automatically and instantly saved in the catalog. There is no need for a <Save As> - there is not even the possibility of a <Save As>.
<Save As> means that you save the image file itself (under a new name). Lr does not save anything in the image file (except xmp data and you cannot save the xmp under a new name). This is simply not possible.
What is possible - as the previous posters have pointed out - that you create a <Saved Print> in the Print Module. This saves the print in the catalog and adds it to a Collection.
It is also possible that you save your print as a JPG. To do this select <JPEG File> in the <Print Module / Print Job panel (right side) / Print To> (you have to click on the small double-triangle, see screen shot:
Then click on <Print to File ...>. You then get a dialog box (which is part of your OS) where you select a location for the JPG-file and indeed you have to give this file a name.
And, yes, that is a "save-function".
Are you saying that when you click on <Print to File ...> nothing happens?

Lightroom 5 Print module.

Hi,
I suddenly have some Lightroom 5 problems.
1) If I want to print an image,
whenever I move from either"Library" or "Develop" modules into the Print module the image in the workspace changes from the image I am working on to the first image in that library folder.
This happens whatever folder I am in.
This happens if I am in grid or loupe view
The only way I can get the image I am working on into the print module is to highlight it in the slide show row at the bottom and then click on the "Print"module icon.
These problems started today,previously I could move from module to module keeping the same image.
2) The program (lightroom) itself copied a complete folder contents (620) images into a collections folder without prompting from me.
After restarting Lightroom that collections folder disappeared.
I have a MacBook pro and an iMac.
I have recently upgraded both to Lightroon 5 and Mavericks.
I have the same upgrades on my MacBook Pro and the program seems to be ok.
It seems to me that the program may have become corrupted?
If so could I reinstall over the existing program? or should I uninstall or delete the app first?
Any suggestions please
Rich.

Hi,
I have answered the first part myself.
At the bottom of the work space there is Use: All Filmstrip Photos
Selected Photos
Flagged Photos
I must have unknowingly changed this from Selected Photos to All Filmstrip Photos.
With Selected Photos the image I am working on stays in view if I am in Library,Develop or Print Module.
I hope this may help others.

Unable to modify color management

I am using OSX 10.9.1
I am attempting to print photographs to a Canon Pixma printer
The Instructions state that I need to change "Color Matching" from the drop down box from "ColorSynch" to "Canon Color Matching"
While both selections appear, they are greyed out preventing me from changing from ColorSynch to Canon
Any ideas why this is an issue?
Thanks,

mick2001,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information, take a look at:

Bug in Print Module, LR3.6, custom package

Hi everybody,
After two days of unequal fight with Print Module bug I hope I finally pinned it down.
Hope it saves someone time
I have my photos usually cropped in DSLR format (2:3)
Printing I use often two popular formats 13x18cm and 15x21cm that are close to 5:7 (first one is 5x7in)
Initially I was using virtual copies and had them cropped to 5:7 format.
However this makes a little mess in my workflow and it's time consuming.
What I found was Custom Package in Print Module.
Having cell with target size I drag desired photo into the cell and using cmd-key drag this foto to have proper look as the width target format is smaller. So far so good, but ...
From time to time printed photo looked totally different from what I saw on-screen.
First of all there are couple threads about that problem. I visited them but they remain unanswered

http://forums.adobe.com/message/3885690
There are visual samples there of what happens.
Photos in JPG file that was created from LR look differently than in LR. Photos in file are bigger or/and wrong positioned within the cell
What I managed to find is:
Everything goes fine until photo is rotated by 'Rotate to Fit' function. It happens in my case only with photos that have the same orientation that template.
Example:
Template is set on A4 borderless format set to portait (Page Setup... button).
Two cells 14,85cm height x 21cm width (A5 format). First one over second and both in landcape position.
When I drag photo cropped in Landscape orientation such a photo is rendered properly.
When I drag photo cropped in Portrait orientation it's atutomatically rotated 90 degrees (couterclockwise) by "Rotate to Fit option" and that is when **** happens.
Final print (to file or printer) shows that user dragging is omitted in render. What's more if "Photo border" is set to on, photo in this cell is not reduced. Instead of this (as far as I can see) photo border just crop some part of picture.
If I switch orientation of the A4 page from portrait to lansdcape, magically photos that are cropped in portrait orientation start to render good (they are not rotated now) while those in landscape start to render wrong.
This looks 99% as software bug.
I'm using LR3.6 on mac osx 10.6.8
I'd like someone to follow it and to check if the same happens on different Mac or Windows.
Cheers
Robert

Confirmed in LR 5.3, OS X 10.9.1.
Screen display is fine, user repositioning is ignored when printing if page is in landscape mode and the image is rotated 90° (Rotate to Fit on). A4, Epson printer. Bug also appears in PDFs generated via the "Printer…" button. I didn't check JPEG export.

Can't see the installed icc profiles for my paper in print module

I have downloaded and installed the icc profiles for my favourite Canson and Crane Museo papers on my new Macbook Pro but they don't show up in the options box in the LR 4 print module. Is there another step I have missed? Thanks in advance.

Where did you install the profiles? They should go into
Library/Colorsync/Profiles in your home folder or at the root level of your
hard disk. If you put it in that folder in your home folder, they show up
in user, if you put them in the root Library folder, they show up in
"Computer" in Colorsync utility

Major print module issue in LR3

I've hit a wall in trying to figure out an extremely frustrating issue with the print module in Lightroom 3: every time I attempt to print a contact sheet to PDF, the entire system locks up immediately upon "rendering images," system usage seems at 100% across the board, and I have to forcibly shut down the application via the task manager. After Lightroom has finally closed, I see an error dump txt on my desktop from Adobe Distiller which reads as follows:
%%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
%%[ Error: syntaxerror; OffendingCommand: --nostringval-- ]%%
Stack:
/build_pattern
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
I don't know if this Distiller error is in fact initiating the crash or if it's just the result of having forcibly shut down LR-- thus, I guess question #1 is whether this is an Acrobat or LR issue. I have uninstalled/reinstalled Lightroom at least three times; deleted and recreated the catalog; and updated to the latest version 3.2, and the error persists. I've also tried the print procedure with different batches/folders of images residing both on my local and external drives with the same behavior.
My system info is as follows: ThinkStation E20 w/ X3450 Xeon and 4GB RAM, nVidia FX580 video card, running 64-bit Windows7 and 64-bit LR 3.2; also running latest updated version of Acrobat Pro, i.e .9.3.4.
Only other thing I can think of that I haven't already tried is to uninstall and reinstall Acrobat Pro, which I've kept from the CS3 suite, although I'd rather avoid doing so if possible. I'll also add that this is a brand new system with fresh installs of *all* software including the CS5 suite.
Printing contact sheets is one of my most common tasks in LR, so any help is *greatly* appreciated.

well, interesting development here-- I have to humbly rescind my particular criticism of LR3 with respect to this issue, as much to my surprise after downgrading to 2.7, I experienced the exact same problem-- i.e. upon printing a contact sheet, the program locks up at "rendering images" and brings the whole system to a halt.
in light of this development, it occurred to me to uninstall (64-bit) 2.7, and reinstall 32-bit LR3-- and lo and behold the print issue seems to be no more. so now the question is why would this be? an issue between LR3 64-bit and the OS (Windows 7 64) ? or perhaps a conflict between LR and Acrobat? maybe a driver conflict?
any ideas/insights are welcome.

LR 4.3 Print Module + Dry Creek icc Profile = jpeg that Apple SW won't open

Greetings,
I have used Dry Creek Photo's (http://www.drycreekphoto.com/) Costo printer profiles successfully for some time with PS and they seem to work fine for soft proofing in LR4... but when I select one of those profiles in LR's Print module for export to jpeg[1] the jpegs produced cannot be opened with Preview, Color Sync, Safari, seemingly any Apple software in OS X (I've tried with both Snow Leopard and Lion). The jpegs do open in PS and browsers like Chrome and Firefox. If I open the files in PS and then save them with "Save As" the saved files open correctly in Preview, etc. Also, other icc profiles (like Adobe or sRGB) seem to work fine. I do not know if the printers at Costco can read the problematic jpegs or not.
Can anyone expain what's happening here? Am I doing something wrong? Is this a LR or Apple bug? Will the jpegs printed from LR's print module be usable on Costco's printers? Will I have to "launder" everything through PS (which would I would obvioiusly rather not do)?
Thanks!
[1] Files printed at Costco need to be in the color space of the printer for Soft Proofing to work since unless it's changed recently Costco's printers ignore embedded profiles. See, http://www.drycreekphoto.com/icc/using_printer_profiles.htm

This file (it's just a screenshot of this browser window "Printed" from LR4) is an example of one that will produce the problem described in my OP: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/36072/Misc.%20Forums/test1.jpg
It was produced with Lightroom 4.3 on OS X 10.6.8. It is using this (http://www.drycreekphoto.com/icc/Profiles/IccFiles/Florida/Costco-FL-Lantana-Gls.icc) icc profile (picked at random to maintain my anonyminity). Trying to open that image with any Apple application on either OS X 10.6 or 10.7 fails for me. I can successfully open the file in PS, Chrome and Firefox in both 10.6 and 10.7 without issues. On OS X 10.7 I get the following dialog when trying to open it with Preview:
Doing "Get Info" on the file results yields this:

If you're talking about the "short list" then click on other and then uncheck the ones that you don't want displayed. If you're talking about the long list, then you will have to browse to the folder containing the profiles and then delete them manually.

LR2 + Vista 64: Crash when opening the profile list in the Print module

I apologize if this is has been reported/discussed before. I use LR2 on a Vista 64 machine. When I want to select a printer profile in the print module, LR crashes. The "preference list" of profiles is empty and I expect LR2 should open the list of all the profiles installed on the machine
. I did not have this issues on the same machine with the beta version of LR2. Is this a known issue ? Is there a work-around ?
Thanks,
Franck

I have solved the issue by uninstalling and then re-installing all the ICC profiles at the OS level. I am not quite sure why but it did the job. Interestingly, the beta version of LR2 that was still installed never stopped working.
