Access clipboard content's icc-profile in javascript

Good day to all of You!
Does any one know if/how one can get information on the clipboard content’s measurements and most importantly icc-profile via JavaScript?
Thanks
pfaffenbichler

There is no way of finding out directly but you may be able to do so by:
1) Chage your Color Settings so that 'Ask When Pasting' is turned off
2) Create a new temporary document larger than you expect the clipboard to be
3) Paste in the clipboard contents.
4) Check the layer.bounds to get the size
5) Check the doc profile name to get the profile
If it can be done at all, the technique should be similar to what I've described.

Where is color sync located (not color utility) which is required to download icc profiles? Dolores

Where is color sync located (not color utility)? I am downloading an icc profile from Ilford paper and the instructions say to first download into downloads, then move to Library. This I did. But I cannot find Color Sync to move the profile into. When I did the "search" the list that turned up was not applicable. After that it needs to go to Profiles inorder that Lightroom 4 paper profiles list can receive it and be able to print according to the profile. How will I find Profiles?Thanks, Dolores P.S. I have successfully downloaded profiles before, but this time I am stumped.

Why cant I access any ICC Profiles in my Photoshop Elements 10

I have installed Red River ICC Profiles as directed. Photoshop Elements 10 will allow me to choose the profiles for my canon printer, however, it will not allow me to choose "ANY" ICC profiles for my Epson Stylus 1280. Whats going on? I didnt have this problem with PSE 7, which I no longer have.

Hi Ron,
I have found the solution!
Indeed I had to extend my access-list on my outside interface!!!
I have succeeded using ASDM.
First I created a NEW network object for each of my servers. When you create a new object you will be asked for the internal IP address and "this is where the magic happens" you have to set the NAT IP address (the external address) !!!
Secondly I extended my access-list on my outside interface by defining every server and the required service (echo, echo-reply) in the "Public server list". When I performed these 2 steps I was able to ping the server from the internet.
My access-list looks the following now:
access-list OutsideToInside extended permit icmp any4 object SERVER2003 object-group DM_INLINE_ICMP_2
access-list OutsideToInside extended permit icmp any4 object SERVER2002 object-group DM_INLINE_ICMP_1
access-list OutsideToInside extended permit icmp any4 object SERVER2004 object-group DM_INLINE_ICMP_0
object network SERVER2004

object network SERVER2002
nat (inside,outside) static 82.94.xxx.xxx

Access priviliges problem when installing ICC profile

Hi
I have a Mac Pro and recently I did a clean install of Lion. The previous OS was 10.6.8.
What I did was I formatted the hard disk where the 10.6.8. was and installed Lion. I also have three other hard disks on my Mac Pro: A mirrored RAID set of 2x750GB drives and a third 750GB drive.
When I did to install a Epson paper ICC profile today, I failed and got the answer "You do not have enough access privileges for this installation."
Furthermore on my Mackintosh HD sharing & permissions it says "You can only read." System user has read & write permissions, a mysterious "wheel" has read only permissions as have the user "everyone" No admin at all mentioned. The other two disks are identical with the exception of this mysterious "wheel" user.
I compared sharing & permissions with my MacBook Pro with 10.6.8. and which works normally. MacBook Pro´s Mackintosh read & write permissions are:
system: read & write
admin: read & write
everyone: read only
I normally made me an account with password when installing the Lion to my Mac Pro. When I cehck users & gropus of the Mac Pro, I am the admin and the only visible other user is guest user.
I would very much appreciate help. This is my first real problem with Macs and I´m getting clueless.

Thanks so much for you quick reply Ralph.
Is there possibly a thread here where this procedure has been alreay explained? Could you link it to me please? I just dont know how to use the sudo command. Additionally, does the admin password you mention mean the password I made up when installing Lion or some other, superuser password?
Thanks for your time and effort.

Can you help me open or access a Blurb ICC profile in Photoshop Elements 7 On a Winows PC ?

Hi. I am starting my first Blurb book and downloaded their Blurb ICC profile. I am using Photoshop Elements 7 to edit my photographs on my Windows PC.
When I select downloads, open with PSE 7, a window opens and says " Editor Photoshop 7 Cannot open Download / Blurb - ICC - profile icc because it is the wrong type of file". Any ideas would be appreciated. Terry

Color profiles are installed via your system's color mangement options. This has nothing to do with Elements as such. Copy the file into C:\Windows\System32\Spool\Drivers\Color or use the graphics settings for your monitor or your printer options to add it.

How do I correct the error: adobe acrobat 9 distiller can not find its standard icc profiles.

How do I correct the error: Adobe Acrobat 9 distiller can not find its standard ICC profiles. Please reinstall adobe acrobat to correct this problem?
I have tried all the suggestion in the forums. But I keep getting the error. I reinstalled AA9 Pro and downloaded the updates. But I keep getting the error.
I recently upgraded to Windows 7.

You have permissions issues on the respective folders, e.g. Windows\System32\Color and so on. Fix them and allow all apps to access the contents.

Icc profiles on the mac questions

There seem to be multiple locations in OSX for icc profiles. I've found them in system/library/coloursync, library/coloursync and user/library/coloursync. Both display and printer profiles seem to be mixed up in these 3 locations.
Is there a preferred location for different profiles - or does Aperture/OSX find things as required (ie, it 'just works') ?
Also - my lab sent me its .icc profiles which I've copied into my system/library/colorsync/profiles directory. Aperture seems to find them okay. Are .icc files universal (ie, mac and PC) ? I didn't specify that I was a Mac user when I requested the icc profiles.

I cant' speak as to whether display and print profiles should go in different places, or Mac vs. PC profiles, but the general rules for which Library folder to use are:
/System/Library: Don't mess with it. If an installer puts stuff there, that's fine, but the /System folder and all its contents should be considered hands-off at the user level unless you know what you're doing (the greatest ability to screw up the system comes from mucking around in the /System folder).
/Library: Files (in this case ICC profiles) put in this folder's subfolders will be available to all users of the computer.
/Users/Username/Library: Files put in this folder's subfolders will be available only to the user specified. Other users will not have access to them.
So basically, if you have multiple users on your Mac and you want them all to have access to the ICC profiles, put them in /Library/ColourSync/Profiles. If you only want yourself to be able to use them, they go in /Users/your username/Library/ColourSync/Profiles.
If you only have one user, and will never add any users to the computer, then placing things in /Library or /Users/username/Library will always yield the same results - you'll always have access to them.
You probably haven't broken anything by putting the other ones in the /System/Library/ColourSync/Profiles folder, but you may want to take them out and put them in the appropriate place, for consistency.
Also remember that the user's Library folder is checked by applications first, then the /Library, and lastly the /System/Library. That's the magic of how it "just works" no matter which Library you put the files in.

Icc profile locations inconsistent and confusing

I apologize in advance for this long winded post, but I really would like some help, if anyone is willing to indulge me. Ive done some searching on the forum, and got some info, but I feel Im still missing something.
My issue is with printer/paper profiles, and which to use to optimize print/monitor matching. A bit of background. I have not bothered until this morning to set up my Epson 2200 printer on my Mac Pro computer. Today, I finally did so. Im running an 8 core Mac Pro, 4 GB memory, and Lightroom Rev 1.1. I downloaded the latest Intel Mac printer driver from the Epson site, and installed the driver. In addition, I downloaded the paper profile for Epson Premium Luster paper for the Mac from the Epson site (I was surprised to note that the download was not just .icc profiles, but instead, a program that installed the profiles (though the program did not say where the profiles were going, or what the profiles were called).
Next, I followed the directions for printing in Lightroom that Scott Kelby included in Chapter 8, pages 272-277 and 290-295 of his The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Book. I was able to find 3 profiles for Premium Luster Paper when I followed step 4 on page 291 of the book, when I used the other option for Profile under the Color Management pane. The profiles were called, exactly, SP2200 Prem.Luster 1440.icc, SP2200 Prem.Luster 2880.icc, and SP2200 Premium Luster PK, and I was able to select all 3 of them by clicking the checkboxes in front of the profiles and now they show up as selections for printing. Thus far, I have experimented with the 1440 and PK profiles, and printed images using both perceptual and relative rendering intents, and Ive found, to my poor eyes at least, using the PK profile, with perceptual rendering intent, yields the best printer/monitor match (yes, my Eizo ColorEdge CE240W monitor has been recently calibrated using Monaco Optix, in case you were wondering), not great, but marginally acceptable. So far, so good. Now, here are my issues:
I am trying to understand where the 3 profiles came from, since Im now paranoid about losing them, since I think Im headed in the right direction, at least. When I do a Spotlight search on my Mac, I have been able to find the SP2200 Prem.Luster 1440.icc and SP2200 Prem.Luster 2880.icc profiles under the Macintosh HD 1/Library/Colorsync/Profiles directory. However, the PK profile is not found by Spotlight. Instead, I seem to have located the PK profile by using the Colorsync utility, doing a repair profile, and then looking at profiles. The PK profile appears to reside under the directory Macintosh HD 1/Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter/ICCProfiles/, however, it doesnt exist as a separate .icc profile, instead, it appears to reside inside a file called SP2200.profiles, which does not seem to be openable.
So here are the questions:
1. Which of these profiles were put into place when I installed the printer driver, and which were created when I downloaded and ran the paper profile for Epson Premium Luster paper program?
2. Is there a way for me to extract the SP2200 Premium Luster PK from that SP2200.profiles file and put it in the same location as the other 2 .icc files, or should I not care? Im particularly afraid of losing this profile, since its the one that is working best for me at the moment.
Thanks for any thoughts on this.

Ans to Q1 - Macintosh HD 1/Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter/ICCProfiles/ contains installed with driver and Macintosh HD 1/Library/Colorsync/Profiles were installed by the download.
Ans to Q2 - Epson put them inside the "package" to keep them safe. You can access the package contents via the Ctrl+click or right+click context menu item labelled "Show package contents" (see attached screenshot), but I would
strongly urge you not to remove them from the package. You really don't need to care where they are because they're in the safest place. It's when folk try to get smart that the system bites them.

HELP! Newly calibrated monitor loses ICC profile setting while computer is on, in middle of editing!

I'm so frustrated!!! Just a few days ago I calibrated my monitor with my new Huey Pro. Today in the middle of the computer being on for hours, at some point, without my knowing it, the ICC profile shifted from the new, calibrated setting BACK to the old default profile!! I didn't realize it and went about editing ... messed up so many files!
I'm using Windows Vista x64 and I've read about this happening to other Vista users, but does anyone know how I can FIX this?? I'm totally overwhelmed at this point. Thanks for you help.

CUSTOM ICC PROFILES DO NOT SHOW UP IN PSCS 6 MAC OS 10.8.4 BUT ARE OK IN CS5

The only icc profiles that show up in CS 6 Mac OS 10.8.4 are the ones that are installed from the printer driver ( Epson 9900 ) Any other single or custom profiles do not show up when placed Library/Colorsync/Profiles
All profiles show up in CS 5, There has been a lot of discussion of this on many forums with no solution. I have also tried installing the profiles in the contents folder of the Epson printer in the main library folder with no luck. Please advise

Mac OS 10.8.4 is still in beta. You need to be reporting this to Apple.
What happens if you move these profiles to the Adobe/Profiles folder, or the users/Library/Colorsync/Profiles folder?
There has been a lot of discussion of this on many forums with no solution.
What forums? A google search turns up nothing but this thread.
I have not seen this problem with the released versions of 10.8.

ICC profiles assigned to text?

CS5 (patched to 7.03), Mac OS 10.6.7
Hi Everyone,
My production coordinator made a PDF of my magazine for the printer yesterday and when he ran it through PitStop, several errors turned up to the effect of text having an ICC profile assigned to it. The text was several instances of periods and commas, the color was [Black] 100%, Adobe Caslon font, same as the rest of the text on the page and throughout the magazine that didn't get dinged as an error. Retyping the offending characters fixed the problem, but how can something like this happen? Or rather, How can it be detected from within InDesign rather than in PitStop?
We import Word docs styled with Word styles into InDesign to lay out the magazine.
PDFs are created by printing to ps file then distilled with the joboptions the printer provided.
I admit I know very little about color management (we don't use profiles, per printer request, so I've had limited exposure) but I thought it was only for images and profiles couldn't get assigned to individual characters of text.
Thanks for your insight!

ICC profile conflicts when printing from Aperture?

I have worked with Aperture now for two years, and I still have problems printing anything that is close enough to what I see on my calibrated screen. And believe me, I have done some reading on color management and ICC profiles. I suspect that Aperture pulls in ICC color profiles in a way that doesn't allow reproducing what I see on the screen. I wonder if these problems are related to the Registered ColorSync devices: opening ColorSync Utility under Devices reveals a bunch of default printers with a diversity of profiles, even if I have no access to these printers (in part these are network printers of my previous employment). I cannot figure out how I can delete these entries: I tried to find remaining printer profiles of these printers in my files, but could not find anything. How can I delete these entries, and can these entries cause color profile conflicts?
More specificially: I work with Aperture 2.1.3 and view my photos on a calibrated 23" Cinema display, run from a MBP with 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 10.5.6, and 2GB of memory. My monitor is calibrated with a Spyder for D65 and gamma of 2.2. I print with an Epson 3800 on Epson paper.
Here is my problem: despite calibrated monitor I don't get the prints to look even remotely close to what I get on my screen. Of course, I use the correct ICC profiles for my papers, and of course I have Aperture (and not the printer) run color management. It seems, however, that my prints resemble my monitor more if I use strange profiles such as "Wide Gamut RGB" or "ProPhoto RGB" as my monitor's profile instead of the calibrated D65, gamma 2.2.
In detail, here are my regular print settings in Aperture:
Print Mode: AccuPhoto HD
Color Mode: Off (No Color Management)
Output Resolution: SuperPhoto - 1440 dpi
Advanced Color Settings: Epson Driver Color Management is Off.
In the Aperture Print menu I use under Printer Selection:
ColorSync Profile: for example, Pro38 PGPP, when I use Epson Premium Photo Paper Glossy
Black Point Compensation checked.
Gamma: 1:00
Under Layout Options I use Print Resolution: Use Best DPI
With these settings the prints look significantly colder than what I see on the screen. Of course, a certain amount of the warmth of the screen colors comes from the calibration to D65 and gamma of 2.2, but shouldn't this give me the best correspondence between the calibrated screen and the print (using of course the color management of the application with ICC profiles, not the printer driver color management)?
I tried the same in CS4 and Lightroom, but no difference. Again, the problem is not that the prints are terrible: they are just not very close to what I see on the calibrated screen.
Where do I make a mistake? All suggestions are very welcome! This is driving me crazy. Many thanks for your help!
Best,
Kai

While the technical aspects of color management are complex, they are largely irrelevant for users.
The following steps have worked well for me:
Step One: Calibrate your monitor. I use the Datacolor Spyder. This produces a monitor profile. Use System Preferences to set your monitor to use this profile. Don't use this profile for anything else and give it a clear name so that you don't confuse it with a printer profile.
Step Two: Download and install the latest drivers for your printer. Buy a small box of photo paper (gloss, semi-gloss) from the manufacturer of your printer. Make sure that you have the correct ICC profiles for this paper and printer. You are trying to establish a baseline.
Step Three: Pick an image with a reasonable range of colors and exposures. (Don't start with a "difficult" image.) Turn soft proofing off and adjust the image as desired.
Step Four: Send this image to the printer. Load up the manufacturer's paper.
Step Five: In the "print" dialog, go to the "Printer Settings" sub menu and select the correct "Quality and Media" and the appropriate setting for "photo" quality. Make sure that all of the color options are neutral. Save.
Step Six: Back on the "Print" dialog select the correct ICC profile for your paper/printer. (Careful, DON'T use the calibrated monitor profile!) Adjust other settings as required. Save and name the preset.
Step Seven: Print and Pray. (And pray I haven't missed a step - sorry I'm not at my Mac. From your initial post, it sounds like you know how to do all of this.)
The results should be reasonably close. (That is why you should use the printer manufacturer's own paper and profiles as a starting point.)
If you are happy, great - get a beer. If not, try the following, making only one change at a time:
== Turn Soft Proofing on using the profile of the paper/printer. (Don't select the profile for your monitor, or any other.) Do the screen and print match now? If so, then you know to do your adjusting with soft proofing on. Remember, soft proofing is not exact - it is merely an attempt to make your screen look like the combination of paper and printer.
== If Soft Proofing makes your monitor look LESS like the print, then don't don't use Soft Proofing.
== If the results are close, you can make fine adjustments using the "Printer Settings" sub menu and saving presents. For example; I use a lot of CostCo paper in my Canon Pixma Pro9000. CostCo says that their paper mimics Canon's Photo Paper Pro, so I use the settings and profile for that paper, but I tweek the cyans and reds a bit in printer settings.
I have found that Red River profiles are a very good match for their papers.
Hope this helps. Good luck!

Placing a PDF with ICC profile embedded

If I place a PDF with a ICC profile embedded, InDesign doesn't take in consideration it.
In the case that the Indd colour workspace is different from the ICC embedded in the PDF, when I export to PDF the color conversion is wrong.
For example the PDF embedded ICC profile is US webcoated (Swop), the Indd workspace is Iso Coated L39 v2 and I want export to PDF with conversion to PSO lwc improved,
the conversion that I get is wrong.With an image with the ICC pofile embedded the conversion is ok.
does anyone know how it works?

With regards to placing PDF/X files in either InDesign or Illustrator ...
Neither InDesign nor Illustrator currently do anything whatsoever with the Output Intent ICC profile in a PDF/X file. It is totally ignored. In PDF/X-1a files, there is no other color mangement and as such, all objects are either DeviceCMYK or DeviceGray or spot colors. The objects are imported as CMYK or spot color values assuming the document's default CMYK color space. Thus, if you place a PDF/X-1a file with a profile for Gracol and your InDesign document's default color space is US Web Coated SWOP, those CMYK colors in the PDF/X-1a will be brought in as-is but interpreted as is they were US Web Coated SWOP.
The picture becomes a bit more complex for PDF/X-4. All untagged CMYK objects in a PDF/X-4 file are assumed to have the color space of the embedded Output Intent ICC profile. CMYK content in PDF/X-4 that uses a CMYK color space must be explicitly tagged as such and have an embedded profile for such color spaces. Ironically, all CMYK content that matches the color space of the Output Intent ICC profile must be specified as DeviceCMYK per the PDF/X-4 specification (there is a long story about why that is the case). When PDF/X-4 is placed in InDesign or Illustrator, similar to the case of PDF/X-1a, the Output Intent ICC profile is indeed ignored and DeviceCMYK colors assume the document's default CMYK color space. All explictly tagged with ICC profile CMYK and RGB objects in PDF/X-4 maintain such tagging when placed within an InDesign or Illustrator document and are either preserved on PDF export/save or converted based on the PDF export/save options specified.
Is this a problem? Yes, I believe so. I am in the process of looking at what can be done to improve the PDF/X placement capability in the future so that this problem is ameliorated.

Icc profiles fine arts paper grayed out in Lion

Running Lion, In the print dialogue box, I can't access the icc profiles for Epson fine arts paper, even though I have the matte black cartridge installed. In the Media Type box, the Fine Arts selection includes all three fine arts papers for my Epson 2880 printer, but all three are grayed out. However, it works fine for matte papers. My icc profiles (including the three for Epson fine arts papers) are installed in ~/Library/Colorsync/Profiles, also in HD/Library/Colorsync/Profiles. Any suggestions?

Same problem with greyed out profiles for Fine Art Papers
The ICC Profiles for the Epson fine art papers that I downloaded from their site are coming up with errors in the ColorSync Profile First Aid. I redownloaded the profiles, but they’re still showing up as bad profiles and they can’t be fixed.
Sample error:
Header padding is not null.
Tag 'DEVD': Tag reserved field is not zero.
Tag 'DEVS': Tag reserved field is not zero.
The file is locked. Could not be fixed.
So what do I do now?

ICC Profiles: How do I install?

Prior to Yosemite I had no difficulties installing ICC profiles, i.e., after downloading the print paper manufacturer's ICC profile, I would drag and drop it into the ColorSync profiles folder accessed through Library>ColorSync>Profiles. But now? There's no such thing, apparently and no instructional reference that I can find anywhere on the entire WWW.
How do I do it now? I've already spent at least two hours trying to find a way on my own after opening the ColorSync Utility in 10.10.2. I find no provision for importing or otherwise placing a new icc in ColorSync; the closest I've come is to open ColorSync: Profiles>Other>Library/Printers>EPSON/InkjetPrinters, where I'm presented with all the icc profiles that came with the Epson printer driver... but it won't accept a new icc profile by drag-and-drop or any other way I can see. As for "Library", it doesn't seem to exist anymore, other than a "library" located somewhere after finding it with the "find" function; it contains a few folders of unrelated obscure files.
I am extremely frustrated and irritated.

Yes, the library is hidden, but easy to get to. The problem seems to be that Yosemite is preventing Photoshop from seeing the profile that has been added to the folder. Here is a picture showing that the new profile has indeed been added.
