ACR not saving color profiles when saving out to TIF...

The Players:
ACR 4.6, PS CS3, Mac OS X, MacBook, Nikon D200
The Problem:
ACR does not seem to be saving my color profiles when I work on my Nikon D200 NEF files. After saving them out as TIFs and opening them in Photoshop CS3 - files read as "Untagged RGB" and the colors are definitely way off from what they were saved as in ACR. Frustrating!
The Request:
Thank you for any help - trying to get a job done!
Best,
Paul

Paul,
You need to update your Photoshop to version 10.0.1 ASAP. You're also two versions behind in the OS; 10.5.6 is out.
If you do not know how to trash Photoshop's preferences, check out the FAQs in the Adobe Photoshop Macintosh forum:
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3c057d1b
To trash Bridge prefs, hold down the Option key as you relaunch Bridge, then check the boxes in the ensuing dialog box.

Disappearing color profile when saved for the Web

Hello.
I have a problem with the “Save for the Web” results using Photoshop CS6 running on Win 7 x64.
My photos are already in 8 bits and in sRGB and when I save for the Web I check the option “embed color profile”, uncheck “convert to sRGB”, metadata to “copyright and contact info”.
When I open the resulting photos in Photoshop, everything is fine as it recognizes the embedded color profile. Same thing when I open these files in Firefox, Safari or Chrome: the colors are correct.
Now, when I right-click on a file in the Win Explorer and look its properties, the line about the color profile is blank, as if there wasn't any. This doesn't bother me but the problem appears on my Website created with Joomla and using for the display a module, Responsive Image Gallery, which creates resized copies of the photos. At this point the copies have completely lost their color profile. I entered in contact with the module's support and they assured me that it preserves the embedded profile, so I come here to gather some information about how this “Save for the Web” embeds the color profile because may be I just didn't understand how it does and if it's different from the “Save as” way.
The fact I can't see the profile through the Win Explorer makes me think Joomla's module doesn't either.

Incredible how much gballard's site is famous! Lol. I use it for a while now and checked again right now with the three Web browsers and everything is all right.
As indicated in my first post, when saving for the Web I checked the “embed color profile” option. I already resized the file and converted it in sRGB first in Photoshop.
Yes it's pretty confusing to see some software not able to see the color profile when the file is saved with that option.
To illustrate, here are three screenshots from Windows' file browser => right-ckick on the file => properties => details:
Opening that “saved for the Web” file in PS, it's ok, the CP is recognized.
Opening it directly (from the file browser => “open with”) in Web browsers: ok in Firefox, Safari and Chrome (CP recognized in all).
Copying that file in my working site on localhost (no modification), integer it in Joomla's module gallery (which is CP aware) and then opening my site on localhost with Web browsers: ok in Firefox (because it considers a non-tagged file by default as beeing sRGB), NOT OK in Safari neither in Chrome.
Now, if I do the same with the “Save as” version of the file with embedded sRGB CP:
PS: ok
Opened directly in Web browsers: ok in the three cases
Opened in Web browsers through my Joomla site on localhost: OK IN ALL THREE BROWSERS
Good point gator_soup: I'll post a bug report. I'm new here on the forum and thought Adobe's staff would post here.

Color profile when changing from RGB to CMYK

I prefer to work on images in RGB then change to cmyk once I'm sure i won't need to run any more effects or filters on them. When I save an image the first time, I have the option to embed my color profile with the image. It embeds the RGB profile... the only option as long as I'm working in RGB. What I've noticed though, is that after converting to cmyk, I don't get any warnings or other indication that it needs me to embed the color profile. I need to do a save-as in order to get back to that option.
So the question is... does Photoshop automatically switch to my default CMYK color profile when I convert to CMYK? So when I save, it's now using the CMYK profile?

Save your original RGB file.
Then, RGB file > Edit > Convert to Profile (with CMYK#1) > Save As...
This creates your first CMYK file.
Then, back to original RGB file > Edit > Convert to Profile (with CMYK#2) > Save As...
This creates your second CMYK file.
Then, back to original RGB file > Edit > Convert to Profile (with CMYK#3) > Save As...
This creates your third CMYK file.
In all cases, be sure you have "Embed Color Profile" checked at the bottom of the Save As dialog. When naming a file, it's handy to include some sort of indication as to the color space.
In the end, you have four files: 1 RGB file, 3 CMYK files.

Embed Color Profile When Saving In Photoshop?

Hi all -
Let's say I am saving a TIFF as a background for a DVDSP 4 menu out of Photoshop. Do I want to have the Embed Color Profile checked or not? How does a make a difference to DVDSP (if it does)? Mine is set to sRGB IEC61966-2.1
Thanks,
Jason

I believe sRGB is the default for most screen-based systems such as DVD studio. You shouldn't notice a significant shift if you stay in this color space in DVD studio. Just make sure it isn't Adobe RGB. This is a very specialized space for advanced Photography for use with hexachrome printing workflows. Monitors and TV's can't reproduce the colors represented in Adobe RGB and it is unwise to make color decisions on such monitors without advanced training on how and why to use wider color spaces such as Adobe RGB. In contrast sRGB is created to be about the same as most monitors ad TV's so what you see is very similar to what will be visible on your target medium.

Why can't I include a color profile when exporting to PDF?

I've a basic RGB illustrator file - no embedded or linked images, just flat colors and gradients.
I'm working in sRGB space and this is reported correctly in the info field at the lower left of the editing window.
Some issues:
1. When I look at this file in Bridge it's listed as 'untagged'. However if I re-open it in illustrator it's reported to be sRGB as expected.
What's broken here?
...and of more immediate concern:
2. Despite requesting 'Include All Profiles' on the output page of the PDF save dialog I cannot get a PDF exported that includes the sRGB profile.
Same issues in both CS6 and CC - Windows 7, 64.
Thoughts, comments or suggestions welcomed....
Thanks

Your .pdf is fine, if you open the .pdf in illustrator, adn hten do edit >> assign profile, this radio biutton will bo on what the profile. Also in the bottom left of illustrator you can see what color profile your document is saved with, btuy turning that on.
Hold down option adn you will get other fun easter egg options
Bridge only seems to show profiles for certain bitmapped formats, except .psb format.

Mountain Lion change color profile when use discrete video card

MacBookPro mid 2010. Update Samsung SSD 830.
Mountain Lion 10.8.2 just installed (new installation).
Reset PRAM and SMC. Done. No result.
Try with GfxCardStatus. No result.
When the system uses the discrete video card changes the color profile.
I'm not the only one with this problem.
Someone managed to solve the problem (really)?
I DO NOT ACCEPT COMMENTS OR ANSWERS USELESS.
Sorry, but slightly altering after losing three hours in forums where no one ever answered ...
Thanks.
Stefano.

Let's see...
Sounds like you're running into an expected issue if you make an alias to removeable media. The same thing would happen if you made the alias to a folder on a DVD-R disc or CD-R. If you eject the original, you disable the alias.
If you copy the entire SD card volume to your drive, the PRIVATE package should copy across. Then, as a folder on your hard drive rather than a volume on removeable media, you could make an alias to the STREAM package for quicker access later.
I'm pretty sure that Handbrake, like Prmeiere Pro, can see the MTS files directly. That is, it's not dependant on the other folders in the PRIVATE directory sturcture. As such, you could copy the contents of the STREAM package to another folder on your drive. Just be mindful of the default MTS file names if you're using more than one SD card (you don't want to accidentally copy 00001.MTS from one card over 00001.MTS from another card).
As long as Handbrake sees MTS directly, you could even rename the MTS files after you've copied them.
On a side note, I almost always archive my SD cards with the data structure intact. More often than not, that file structure is important to corretly access the video stored within that structure. If something unexpected happens while working with the MTS files, it is good to have the original file structure to go back to. Although, SD cards are getting to be so low cost that sometimes I just label the SD card and store it for archiving.

Iphoto 9.5 not supporting color profiles supported in '11

JPG Photos in iphoto 11 from Scancafe.com with color profile OS14000_A2_B8_oG that worked with iphoto '11, now not working with iphoto 9.5 and now unable to re-import.
First some background. I was using iphoto 11 and had no problem importing the scancafe jpg photos (color photos) from the DVD's. Everything was fine until I upgraded my mac mini to mavericks and upgraded iphoto 11 to 9.5. It seems iphoto 9.5 does not support the color profile of the jpgs that were scanned by scancafe. That color profile is OS14000_A2_B8_oG. I noticed that after upgrade of iphoto, that jpgs with this color profile are no longer seen at full size (they are visible as preview in iphoto, they are also visible in the mac program Preview, they also seem to work in aperture). But, when I try to view as full size in iphoto it is just black. Interstingly, the face detection from iphoto 11 still hovers, but now over black photo. The photo is still in the Masters area of the iphoto library, iphoto is just unable to view as full size.
When I tried to import the photo again, iphoto says the jpgs are unreadable. So, after hours of frustration, I realized iphoto doesn't seem to be supporting the color profile: OS14000_A2_B8_oG. When I used Adobe Lightroom 5 (Imported all first) to export as jpg (batch export) and removed the color profile (it then defaults to sRGB), the pictures were able to be imported into iphoto and were visible at full size.
To make a long story short, it seems that apple didn't provide support for this color profile with iphoto 9.5. Which is interesting, because they used to support it in iphoto 11.
Any ideas how I can save the work I have done on these photos: descriptions, face recognition, etc. without having to reimport jpgs with new color profile?
It would seem simple for apple to support the color profile and continue to do so. This foreshadows the slow removal of support for older file format and color profiles as software is upgraded. Will the photos in our iphoto library be visible in 10 years without conversions and reimporting? This is a concerning precedent.

Not what but who. That would be me. Keith is referring to this Applescrip: Embed sRGB Profile-Applescript, that you can download from Toad's Cellar. However, I've found it doesn't work on all files and have created an Automator workflow that is more reliable: Convert to JPG and Embed sRGB profile.
Both are on Toad's Cellar and you can try both. They will have to be applied to the image files outside of iPhoto before importing into iPhoto.

Tweak color profile when printing on plain paper?

If Im unhappy with the colors when printing on plain paper, can it be changed?
..this is on a five cart Photosmart Premium c410a that uses 564 tanks.
In particular, yellow is too dark, a bit "orangy" and photos are a bit weird: sky looks slightly smoggy brown.
In other words my question is if its possible to tweak the color profile the HP driver uses when printing using plain paper -- for daily use.

Have you found a solution to this? I'm wondering if the same can be done for the photo prints as well...when I print photos, they turn out darker and have a purple-hue to them. Please let me know, I look forward to hearing from you.

IMac hangs on spinning color wheel when coming out of screen saver

Since updating to the latest version 10.5.5 my iMac hangs when coming out of screen saver mode with the spinning color wheel and I have to do a hard reboot.
I did some searching and it looks like this was also a problem back with and earlier version of 10.5
I use the pictures screen saver.
Anyone else have this problem since the last update??

You should attend to your iMac. Even the best machines need periodic attention.
Like an iceberg, most of Leopard is "under the ocean" or as we say, "under the hood." There is an extremely powerful BSD OS down there and it is really that, not Leopard per se, that need an occasional "tweak."
Actually there are automatic routines that do much of the hidden maintenance but permissions repair is not one of them.
Again, you do not need to run permissions repair every day. Not even every month, but it's best to do it anytime you install new software - before and after installing the software.
Some, but not all of the issues you see here are the result of not maintaining the computer.

How to set color profile when exporting a RAW file version as a JPEG?

I import my raw files to Aperture and when exporting as a JPEG I want to specify a color profile of sRBG. I cannot see how to set the color profile for the export. Does anyone know how to do this?

When you go to export versions, edit the presets, and there is a drop down box that lets you select the profile.
I'd suggest picking up the Aperture book by Luna, Long, and Harrington. Lots of great info there.

How to get paper color profiles when printing from Acrobat

Hello,
I've been in trouble trying to print with specific paper profiles from Acrobat.
I'm running on mac os 10.8.5, and the latest version of the suite (Acrobat XI).
My printer is an Epson 3880.
I can print ok using my paper profiles when I'm printing from Photoshop; the paper profils show up in the printer box,
and I can choose from my different paper profiles, some of which I've installed recently, non-Epson papers.
But those paper profiles don't show up in the menu when I print from Acrobat…
Any hints why I can't reach those?
Thanks in advance for any help,
Keth.

Are you talking about the color profiles? If so then:
1. Go to File>Print
2. Click the Advanced button
3. Select Color Management from the window pane
4. Select the Color Profile from the Color Profile pop-up menu

Use which color profile when ordering iPhoto prints?

Hello,
I've got a bunch of photos I want to order thru the iPhoto service. Many of the photos have an embedded sRGB (Nikon mode Ia) color profile. Should I convert / save the photos with just an RGB profile or will sRGB work OK? These prints will be 8x10.
Thanks!

How do you determine whether a profile has been embedded in your images?
Unless you manually edit iPhoto's preferences it won't embed any profile upon import. On the other hand Image Capture does embed a profile.
Some cameras only reference a generic profile in the images' EXIF data (instead of embedding one) but that won't be honoured by iPhoto. Even if your images had a profile embedded it will have been discarded by editing them in iPhoto - something to watch out for.
As far as ordering prints goes it's impossible to predict the outcome.
Cheers Martin

Color profile when Importing D200 NEF

Hi there,
I'm a new user for Apple Aperture. I noticed all the NEFs imported from my also new D200 have Adobe Profile as color profile even thou I have set in D200 as sRGB. I have also set the camera to output RAW plus large JPEG. The JPEG file does say sRGB but the NEF says Adobe RGB.
Thanks in advance.

A raw image itself doesn't have a colour profile. What it does have is a 'hint' as to what colour profile should be used when creating an image from it.
In Aperture's case, it uses an internal representation that is large enough to hold all the other possible colour ranges, and then you get to pick which one is used when you export the image to another format (TIFF, JPEG, etc).

Convert color profile when exporting?

is there a way to force Lightroom to export JPGs using a specific color profile? I've got a bunch of ProPhoto profiled images but I need to export them for the web using sRGB... help?

Hm, Lee Jay, I didn't see your response until I sent mine. I guess everything is not perfect in the forum either. :-)

Leopard forgets color profiles when waking from sleep on MBP Santa Rosa

I have a 15" MBP Santa Rosa with a 22" Samsung external monitor. I performed a clean (erase and) install on my machine. Upon waking from sleep, the computer seems to have forgotten the color profiles loaded for the displays. To correct this, I open system preferences and then the display option. As soon as the display options are shown on the window, my MBP loads the correct profile. This has happened for both displays, though far more frequently on the external display. The profile for my Samsung was created using color calibration hardware/software but the MBP display is running the stock profile from Leopard.
Any thoughts? Has anyone else experienced this?

same issue here. also had it in tiger, but much more frequently in leopard. seems to be whenever my display wakes from sleep.
MBP 2.4 GHz SR purchased 6/07. also driving samsung 245bw external display (which has never been affected, unless perhaps my calibrated and default profiles aren't different enough for me to notice--the difference is severe on my built-in display).
