Please, please, please make ICC profile info available for RGB files.

I know, I know, I know - if everything's working properly one should never care what the icc profile is that's being used to interpret the colors in a file. And good people shouldn't get killed by falling tree branches... but stuff happens, and sometimes icc profiles are not handled properly and colors are off because the wrong profile is being used or is absent and assumed to be sRGB when that is not correct.
Photographers care about color and nothing is more important than the ICC profile when it comes to properly displaying colors.
I'd also like to see the ability to assign an ICC profile, swap an ICC profile, and convert to specified ICC profile. But I'd be happy enough just to have the icc profile name displayed - I could take it from there...
PS - I'd like to see this feature removed in ten years (I'm an optimist) after all image handling software handles icc profiles correctly, until then... (please).
Thanks in advance,
Rob

Never mind - I just realized this information is available via ExifMeta (plugin) - I retract the request for personal purposes.
Still, it might be worth consideration for people who don't use ExifMeta.

Custom DNG camera profiles only available for DNG files?

I developed a custom camera profile for my Sigma DP-1, using a colorchecker chart and the DNG profile editor.
I exported the DNG profile in the default location.
When I open Lightroom or ACR, the new profile is not available for X3F files, only DNG files. Is this normal???

Well, I've imported the original X3F file as well as the converted DNG file in Lightroom.
When I develop the DNG file, my custom profile appears in the list. When I click on the X3F file, embedded* is the only option.
It may have to do with an incomplete support of the X3F format. I have just repeated the exercise for my D300, and in this case the custom profile is available for NEF files.
Too bad since I'm happy with some of the Adobe camera profiles for the D300, but less so with the default look for Sigma DP-1 files.
I guess I should file a bug report...
* or "matrix" or whatever is the term in the english version, I have the french version which says "incorporé"

Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.1.0 distiller ICC profile error asks for reinstall

I have Windows XP professional, SP3.
My Systems Administrator recently upgraded my Adobe Acrobat Pro 8 to 9.1.0 and since then I keep getting an error that says: Distiller cannot find its standard ICC profiles. Please reinstall Adobe Acrobat to correct this problem.
This error happens when:
1. I print to Adobe from a web page (IE 7.0.5730.11 or Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.20)
2. I try to print to any printer from certain websites, such as the usps.com, where I print all our postage labels from.
3. Occasionally when I start up the PC.
Sometimes I get the error but it still pdfs the page. Usually, though, it hangs and then Acrobat and the web browser close.
I seem to be able to pdf MS Office 2007 items (Word, Excel) and my Filemaker Pro Advanced 10 records. I guess it's when I'm "printing" to Adobe as opposed to "saving as pdf" that I have this problem.
Acrobat 8 worked fine. My Sys Admin has reinstalled the upgrade twice (after trying a repair which didn't work) to no avail. He can't find any documentation about this error at Adobe, so he's going to uninstall it and switch me back to Adobe 8.
I do all of the pdf'ing of our deliverable documents at my company and I would like to have the latest edition of Acrobat. If anyone knows of anything I can do, please let me know.
Thanks!
Stephie

Adobe Tech support was most helpful on this. First download the updated
Distiller ICC profile files at:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=4075&fileID= 3790
Unzip the file and copy only the *.icc files (without regard to the subfolders that they are in - in other words, take the files out of each of the subfolders) to the followng folder in Windows 7:
c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\color
These new files will probably overwrite some old ones.
This solved the problem for me.
This is actually the best solution though I found that instead of copying all the .icc files to the windows\sys... folder, all you need to do is copy the 3 Video files from the RGB folder (VideoHD.icc, VideoNTSC.icc, and VideoPAL.icc). Once you add these three files to c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\color you will be good to go.
It seems that this was an error on the part of Adobe in that there is no reason to include Video files for printing. Nevertheless, the distiller will look for these and return the ICC profile error message if those files are not present.

EDI: Partner profile not available for the Ack received

Hi All,
All the scenarios are IDOC -->XI --> File
We have different scenarios of IDOC to File, where SAP sends IDOC to two (we have 5 here letu2019s say 2) diff FTP locations one say FTP1 and other FTP2 and we used 3 business systems in SLD.
1)      one for Sender SAP system(say BS_SAP) and assigned a Logical System say LS_SAPCLNT100
2)     Second one for the receiver FTP1 and assigned a Logical System LS_FTP1
3)     Third one for the receiver FTP2 and assigned a Logical System LS_FTP2
And we are getting the error in the Sender SAP System for the acknowledgement sent from the FTP1 server EDI: Partner profile not available for the LS_FTP1 when we send the IDOC to FTP1 and EDI: Partner profile not available for the LS_FTP2 when we send the IDOC to FTP2.
This is because in SAP we do not have the Logical Systems for LS_FTP1 and LS_FTP2.
Now my question is how to get rid of this? Do we need to create Logical systems in SAP for third Party Systems?
If not how to overwrite and use a single LS for all of the third party Business Systems?
Please suggest .
Regards,
Sridhar Reddy

And we are getting the error in the Sender SAP System for the acknowledgement sent from the
FTP1 server uF0E0EDI: Partner profile not available for the LS_FTP1 when we send the IDOC to FTP1 and EDI: Partner profile not available for the LS_FTP2 when we send the IDOC to FTP2.

How do I make Pages the default program for .doc files?

How do I make Pages the default program for .doc files without having the need to change the default program for each individual.doc file?

Navigate to a .doc file.
Ctrl click the file
Choose Open with and then go down the list, past pages, to other
Navigate to pages
Before you click Open make sure you click the 'Always open with' check box.
You should be okay.
You can do a similar think by selecting the file, Choosing File-Get Info
Then open the Open With Disclosure triangle.
select pages and then click CHANGE ALL
Hope this hleps.

Vista - how do you make iTunes the default player for audio files?

Having started using iTunes on a new Vista PC, I've found that it defaults back to Windows Media as the default audio file player every time the machine is rebooted.
But worse than that, I cannot find any option to make iTunes the default player for MP3 files - under the Vista settings, the ONLY option offered is Windows Media: there is not even a box to tick for iTunes.
Have others found this? Is there any way around this?
(I thought that Microsoft was legally precluded from making these kind of enforced settings now???)

Although I now seem to have successfully made iTunes the default player for audio files, iTunes has started putting up this message:
"The iTunes Music Library file cannot be saved. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation."
A quick scan of the forum shows this problem has come up quite a few times, but I'm far from clear if there is a definitive answer/solution. I am the administrator for the computer. It sounds worrying that the Library file is not being saved - should I be worried?

How to display the Get info window for a file or folder

Hello,
How can I display the Get Info window for a file or folder using Applescript - instead of selecting it in the finder and using Command-I ?
Thanks.
lenpartico

The item property that the Get Info was opened for is read only, so it doesn't look like you can just throw a file path at it. You could do something like telling the Finder to reveal the item, then keystroke the command, e.g.:
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #FFEE80;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor">
tell application "Finder"
reveal "Path:to:your:file"
activate
end tell
tell application "System Events" to keystroke "i" using {command down}
</pre>
... but this doesn't seem to be much different than the regular method. There are other methods to get various information, what are you wanting to do?
Edit:
Hmmm, I could have sworn (I do a lot of that these days) I tried Hiroto's method, but that does work. It still seems to be a roundabout way of doing something though.

Preview not available for this file on import

I just transferred all my stuff from a vista computer to a new Windows 7. Lightroom 3.3 is now running as a 64 bit. I am importing tiff scans which were done on the Vista computer. At first everything was going fine, but now when I select files for import, all I can see are greyed out boxes which say "preview not available for this file". If I import the file, all is well, but I would like to see them in preview as well. Also, the program has crashed twice in the middle of an import.
Thanks for any help!

Yes, the larger preview is viewable. I'm using Vuescan to scan the files. Nothing has changed with the scanning from the previous scans which worked fine...same settings, same computer (not the new one).

"Preview not available for this file" error message.

I'm using LR 4.4 but it hasn't worked correctly since I got my new camera (Canon 70D). When trying to import I keep getting the "Preview not available for this file" error message. I had some better luck connecting the camera with a usb cable, that let me see the jpg images, but it would not let me see the raw (.cr2) images. Would I solve this problem by upgrading to LR5?
I'm running LR 4.4 on a Windows 7 PC.
Thanks for any help that can be provided.
Robert

Support for the Canon 70D was introduced with LR version 5.2. see the link below.

ICC Profiles Not Available in InDesign CS4

Hello all-
I have a lot of ICC profiles installed on my system (OS X 10.6.2); some are in /Library/ColorSync/Profiles/ and some are in ~/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/.
They are not available in InDesign CS4, even though every other app (including Photoshop, Illustrator and Acrobat) see them just fine.
Is this a know issue/bug with CS4 and Snow Leopard? I don't recall having this issue on my old machine.

A followup to this issue:
This morning I couldn't launch Illustrator CS4, it kept crashing at launch. Scanning through the OS X crashlog I noticed 511 "Iterative Profile" errors:
### com.apple.ColorSync 0x91e1981d iterateProfilesInDirectory + 1020
I went into my /Library/ColorSync/Profiles folder and noticed there was now an alias pointing into Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Profiles/, which already contained an alias back to /Library/ColorSync/Profiles to get around the InDesign issue (as described above, which was working fine to this point). This created an infinite loop...
I did not create this new alias... any idea where it might have come from?
(Adobe needs to fix InDesign so it looks in the correct locations for profiles... the user shouldn't have to resort to manipulating aliases to enable profiles that are otherwise in the correct locations, and why do Adobe apps need their own profiles folder anyway????? As with their private Fonts folder, it does nothing but over-complicate matters...)

Softproof: some icc profiles not available

I downloaded icc profiles from a fine art print website and installed them.
In LR4 only 2 show up. I can't find the other ones even after multiple installs. What am I doing wrong? Or are the profiles corrupt? I'm on W7 64.
Here is the link to the icc profiles: http://www.theprintspace.de/uploads/Druckerprofile.zip

I've downloaded them. Some are CMYK (in the CMYK folder). Some of the others don't conform to the ICC specification, according to ColorSync Utility, although it was able to repair them so they show up. There are probably copyright issues with me giving you the repaired profiles, but if you email theprintspace, they may be able to do the same.

How make master data object available for ACR

Hi,
I remember that there is a program to run so that we can make the master data object available for ACR.
i am not getting the program name. Please advice.
Thanks,
Dev

Hi........
If a master data is schedule for some changes...ie InfoObjects and hierarchies that are planned for structural change are selected by default.........If u go to RSA1 >> Administrator Workbench >> Tools >> Hierarchy/Attribute Changes from the menu...........If u click on Infoobject List or Hierachy List.........u will find that those infoobjects r already selected.....
If u want to run ACR for some infoobjects manually.............either u can do it in RSA1..........by only selecting those infoobjects for which u want to run the ACR..........or u can also use the prog : RSDDS_AGGREGATES_MAINTAIN.........
If that Particular infoobject is not there in the Infoobject or Hierarchy List in RSA1..............that means no structurak changes r required...........no need to run ACR..........

Lens Profile not available for old photos

Hi
I got busy creating a lens profile for my Canon 550 and EFS 15-85 f/3.5-5.6 IS USM as there was no profile listed for this lens when I took some photos in early July. I now find that the profile is now available (for the photos taken in the last week or so) and automatically selected when I select 'Enable Profile Corrections' BUT is still not available for the older photos - can someone tell me how to get the new profile available for the older photos - in fact why does the list not show the new profile??

Thanks Ian
I do all RAW now but to get more photos on my SD card
used JPEG for a time.

Correct Lens Profile Not Available for Exported/Imported Image Files

Any help with this would be appreciated. I just noticed yesterday that when I have RAW (DNG) files in my LR5.2 library, I can select the correct lens profile to apply. When I take three of those files and merge them together in Photomatix Pro they come back as a single TIFF file. Now LR only has one lens profile available, and it is the wrong one.
This is happening with my Sony NEX-7 and Tamron 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 XR DI-III VC. With the RAW files, I have a list of Tamron lenses from which to choose, and the correct one is available. For the merged TIFF file, however, only a single Tamron lens is available for selection, and it is not the lens I used.
If anyone has any ideas about this and can get me past it, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,
~Steve

Here's my workflow for this particular situation: After importing the original RAW files, I apply lens correction using the correct profile. I export to another application that creates a new (TIFF) file that comes back into LR. Even though I already applied the correction to the original files, I can see that there is a difference in distortion between the original files and the new TIFF.
If your other application is opening the Raw file directly, it will likely be disregarding either most, or all, Lightroom adjustments even if they are somehow communicated to it. It will come down to whatever independent Raw support is built into the other application.
The other application would still need to (a) "understand" about Adobe lens profiles etc, (b) "know" where to find the appropriate Adobe profile on disk, and (c) be equipped to do the specific and proprietary processing that they refer to. The same applies for all the other Adobe-proprietary processing instructions. The only software I am aware of which can do all this reliably, in partnership with LR, is Adobe Camera Raw plus Photoshop.
I've trained myself that whenever a new file is created in an application outside of LR (including PS), I always re-apply lens correction upon first returning to LR. If I'm interpreting the above responses correctly, I shouldn't need to re-apply lens correction if I applied it to the original files. But again, it's not my observation that this is the case.
If your particular workflow is failing to reflect the first application of lens corrections (as well as perhaps, other specific adjustments) - then what returns to LR will not have undergone those kinds of corrections yet.
I'm also hearing that I may need to download a lens profile for this lens for a TIFF file format. I've never needed to do that before, so perhaps I'll give that a shot.
As I understand it, Photomatix can also accept converted TIFFs or JPGs from LR - instead of Raw fles. I am skeptical that you will realise any "clear water" advantage from sending Raws rather than TIFF (or even, high quality JPG in many cases) from LR into Photomatix - assuming the LR conversion is already optimising the images for the required purpose. You would be doing that step in an interactive environment rather than blindly via a generic converter. Such intermediate bitmaps are in my experience perfectly good candidates for HDR processing, or for exposure fusion (which I prefer - though I don't use Photomatix in particular).
Any workflow which causes LR to in effect Export suitable bitmaps that incorporate all current adjustments, will embody lens corrections as part of that. By the way, the workflow into Photoshop HDR is similarly done by way of converted bitmaps - though in that case it is ACR rather than LR which achieves these converted bitmaps, and into memory rather than into separately saved files, but the outcome is effectively the same.
The only downside is the "cleanup" is to get rid of intermediate TIFFS or JPGs afterwards. I usually put the completed "merged" image at the top of a "stack" containing the component exposures, and collapse the stack down. But the (disposable) intermediates don't get imported to LR, and by setting these to occur in a subfolder or with a distinctive name suffix, they are easily found and deleted in due course.

Make level0 members un-available for planning

Hi,
Is it possible to make level 0 members un-available for planning but to keep them in application for reporting purposes?
My managers will decide if we will use a project in forecasting but want to keep it for reporting purposes in the future.
Thank you very much
lubos

If you using bottom-up versioning then you need to enter data at level 0 so in that respect you can't set the level.
Maybe you need to approach it in a different way and have a reporting hiearchy and a planning hierarchy within your dimension.
Cheers
John
