Acrobat Color Management settings not holding

I am having issues with acrobat 8 & 9 holding the color management  preferences on the intel macs we have. I have placed the .csf file in  user/library/application support/adobe/color/settings. The .icc profile  is in user/library/color sync/profiles. We are using OS 10.5.8 &  10.6.4 both versions are behaving the same. I have used bridge to sync  the Adobe suite (AI,Photoshop and Indesign) and that works fine. Acrobat was not installed as part of the suite.

Figured out the issue. The .csf file was corrupt, remade the file and the settings held in prefernces.

  • Printing From PSE12 - settings not holding/prints are inconsistent.

    Printing from PSE12, MacOS with PSE12 controlling color/appling profile.
    Color management does not appear to turn off or disengage within any given print driver.
    When selecting Color Matching, both ColorSync & given printer are active, both should be ghosted out.
    After printing one image/sheet & printing again & selecting Color Matching within the print window both are ghosted out.
    Saving a pre-set does not solve the issue.
    Currently prints are not matching when having PSE12 controlling color.
    what is causing this issue ?  Is it PSE12 ?  Is it the OS ?  WHAT !
    Please help.  THANKS

    This inability to disable color management is within the OS, right ?  Or is it PhotoShop Elements ?
    Yes I do have means of controlling color management from a driver stand point but the attempt here is to turn color management off from the OS & driver to allow the app to control color management.
    Problem is that when printing and setting/selecting settings to allow this, it appears management is getting miss managed.
    And if I set a pre-set within PSE, settings do not hold.
    I do not want ColorSync to control color management.
    I do not want print driver to control color management.
    And settings to not hold from print to print and a pre-set does not appear to hold as well.
    What is the fix for this ? Do not use PSE ?  Do not use MacOS, This does not happen on a WIN based system ?!?

  • Best Color Management Settings for Web in CS3

    I've seen tons of info on what color management settings can be used in CS3, but most seemed to favor work for printing. I'm just wondering what settings people think are best for color and B&W photo web work in particular... I already have both the monitor and PS set for 'sRGB IEC61966-2.1', but other than that, there seems to be a lot of opinions. I just want everything to have the best chance of looking the same on other comps as it did on mine. I also have Proof Setup set to 'Monitor RGB'.
    Thanks,

    1. Calibrate (I use ColorVision's Spyder http://aps8.com/spyder.html , but any hardware calibration device will be better than calibration by eye).
    2. Set the Working Space to sRGB.
    3. Set the Color Management Policy for RGB to Convert to Working to be sure you are converting content to sRGB. (2 & 3 addressses pfigen's concern about making sure all images are sRGB.)
    4. Make sure your monitor is set to use the ICC profile generated by the calibration device.
    5. Turn off Proof Colors.
    6. Embed profiles or not, but if you do use the sRGB profile. Whether it gets used or not is another story.
    As far as B&W, pfigen suggests Gamma 2.2, which would seem to be right for PC. Mac users might consider Gamma 1.8.
    This should work well for most situations, but guaranteed consistency is an impossible task at this point.

  • Suite Color Management is not enabled in PS cs 6 ?

    Suite Color Management is not enabled in PS cs 6 ?

    If you have only Photoshop, not a full suite, you get this message as a matter of routine. It doesn't matter, no action required. Color management in the application is fully enabled, with your settings there.
    What it means is that you can use Bridge to synchronize color settings across all applications in a suite. This isn't something you have to do (I have them deliberately un-synchronized).

  • Color Management Settings

    I'm not sure what to set my color management settings up as!  I've been told a few different things!  I shoot in Adobe RGB, but I've been told to set my working space to SRGB and then to set the color management policies to "Convert to working RGB, CMYK, and Gray."  Then I've also been told to set the working space to Adobe RGB (1998) and then under "coversion options"  change the "intent" to "perceptual."
    Regardless of which setting I try to use, the coloring when I view it in Photoshop is much more yellow than when I view it on my monitor.  I have callibrated my monitor, so I'm assuming the problem is within Photoshop.  How do I fix this so that the colors match???
    Thank you,
    Jacalyn

    I've been told to set my working space to SRGB and then to set the color management policies to "Convert to working RGB"
    Yes, I'd back up what the previous poster says. Where did you get this advice? its extremely poor advice. If its valid at all, this would only apply to people doing an extremely narrow, low end type of work - destined ONLY for the internet.
    'Autoconvert' in Color Settings is pretty nasty, it takes every file and converts it. And sRGB is a pretty dumb profile, I've always reckoned - as Bart says, its low gamut, designed for 'lowest common denominator' displays.
    Spyder, and your monitor calibration: (because it sounds like your profile isnt being picked up) - I did some research and believe that there may be a "ProfileChooser" application somewhere on PC? - always thought  monitor profiles should be stored somewhere in PC control panels. But lord knows whats happening with these settings on PC these days. On mac it does all this much more intuitively of course.;-)
    But here's a thread I found where someone had a problem similar to yours…

  • Laptop Losing Color Management Settings When Docking or Undocking

    I originally posted this to the general Windows 7 support forum; however, one of the support engineers recommended that I move it here as I'm running Windows 7 Enterprise, so here it is...
    I am running Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 64-bit on a Dell Latitude E6540 with a docking station.  I have color-calibrated the display on the laptop as well as an external display attached to the docking station.  Whenever I undock the computer, the
    system resets the color management settings and I lose the color calibration on the laptop's display.  I then have to go in manually through the Control Panel and re-apply the calibration profile to get things back to normal.
    I have everything set up so that the calibrated profile is the default profile for the system and I've verified that this is the case whether or not the machine is docked, but it still loses the calibration settings every time.  All video system drivers
    are updated and current as well.
    Any thoughts or ideas on how to resolve this issue?
    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    Sophia,
    Thanks for the link to the article.  While I still suspect that the color calibration issue is related to the Intel drivers, the only response that I'm able to get from Intel is that it is a Windows operating system problem and not theirs.
    To be clear, the issue described in this article does relate specifically to power savings, which are typically only enabled when running on battery.  I do have this particular setting disabled on my laptop in order to maintain color accuracy for
    my work.
    My issue is clearly with the Color Calibration Profiles.  The default profile for the laptop, which appears to have no actual calibration at all, has the screen showing a very heavy blue bias.  The bias is so strong, that the frames around the
    windows, ribbons in the Microsoft Office apps, etc., which should be grey, are displayed as blue.  The blue bias also tends to wash out most of the other colors and makes the screen look dull and unsaturated.  However, as soon as my Color Calibration
    Profile is used, the Windows elements display as grey and the screen colors look much more vibrant.  It really is a night and day difference.
    When booting up the system or logging into my user account, even on the default blue Windows screens, you can clearly see the change when my Color Calibration Profile is loaded by the system just before it brings up the desktop.  Once loaded, it remains
    working, as I've said, until the computer is undocked or docked.  Then it immediately reverts to the default Color Calibration Profile and the screen shifts back into the blue range again.
    I think that for another test, I'm going to remove all of the calibration profiles except for mine and see if that has any affect.  If it doesn't, I'll rename my profile to the same name as the default profile and see if that does anything.  It's
    just something that I thought of now to try.  I'll let you know how it goes.

  • Color management settings for the best print output

    Color Management while Printing has been one of the challenging areas which has been discussed a lot over user forums and has been a painful area in terms of clear understanding while taking print outputs.
    Here is an easy-to-understand KB (Knowledge Base) article ‘Color management settings for the best print output’ to help you get the best from your printers using PSE and bridge that knowledge gap.
    This article explains color management in Photoshop Elements, how to get better prints, and addresses some of the following issues like horizontal/vertical streaks in print output, too dark or too light print output, ICC profile problems and Color differences between prints from PSE and other applications.
    Thanks,
    Garry

    Thanks Noel.
    Yes have shared in PSE forum as well. But I usually drop such posts on PS General forum so community moderators as well as our power users who mostly use both PS or PSE or are aware about can communicate to their students, audiences etc.
    The idea is to reach out the message to as many as folks via relevant forums. Most of my otehr posts have found mentioned only on PSE forum.
    Thanks for the feedback Nice to hear such a great feedback within 5 mts of publishing

  • Color management does not work as expected, different from v3.6

    Color management seems to work differently than FF 3.6.
    On a home page, I have a background graphic that is supposed to blend into the page background. I have left that graphic untagged so the blending will work in all browsers regardless of color management. This works fine in IE, Safari, Chrome, and Firefox 3.6 in all color management modes.
    In default mode 2 in v3.6, the graphics is not color managed because it is untagged. The page's background is left as is, and things blend perfectly. In mode 1, full color management, the graphic is assumed to be srgb and is color managed, and the page's background color seems to follow.
    In Firefox 4, using mode 1 creates a mismatch between graphic and background, as if this time only the graphic is color managed and not the rest. This is bad because it now creates a situation where we cannot be sure that there will be a match.

    A good place to discuss issues with Minefield 4 nightly builds and Firefox 4.0 beta builds is at the mozillaZine Firefox Builds forum.

    I need to reset the color management settings for photoshop 8.0. Can someone let me know what are the correct defaults?

    Probably the most commonly used is "North American Prepress 2" but which you choose depends entirely on the kind of work you are currently doing.

  • PSE 8 colour management settings not remembered

    In PSE 8, the colour management dialogue in File->Print->More Options->Color Management does not remember a Printer Profile that has been set.
    I'm trying to help get a non-technical friend up and running with digital printing. He's bought PSE 8 and an Epson R2880, and wants to try printing with Ilford and Harman papers using the manufactuers ICC profiles. We've installed the profiles OK, but ...
    On the friend's PC (running Vista Home Basic) if I set "PSE manages colors" and set a profile, then close the dialogue, then reopen the dialogue the handling has reverted to "Printer manages colors" and the profile drop-down is greyed-out (and remains so even after re-choosing "PSE manages colors").
    I the installed the trial version of PSE 8 on my PC to try to replicate the problem. It's similar but not exactly the same ...
    On my PC (running Win7 Ultimate) the Color Handling setting is retained, but no matter what ICC profile I choose, it always reverts to my original choice after closing and reopening the dialogue.

    Finally got to the bottom of this,
    Bizarrely, it appears that PSE needs to be run under an Administrator account to work properly.

  • Elements 10-color management settings

    Using Elements 10 with MAC; color management settings aren't available

    My understanding is in the Print Command, there should be a Color Management option that gives you two options:
    -Printer manages colors
    -Photoshop Elements manages colors
    In Print command, I don't have that option.

  • Suite color management is not enabled

    I have Creative suite CS4 production premium.  I have downloaded the trial version of InDesign.   When I open InDesign go to open/ browse in bridge then in  bridge edit/Creative suite color settings  I get the following error message.
    Suite color management not enabled.
    Suite color management requires that a qualifying product has been launched at least once to enable this feature
    I get the same error if I launch bridge fro PS.  I have anther machine that does not have the trial of InDesign installed and the color settings work as they should.  I am assuming this problem is a result of the trial version of InDesign.  Can anyone confirm this and is there a work around to fix the problem?

    The "Creative Suites (CS)" are bundles of individual applications, bought and installed as a package.
    The applications, when bought individually, are still given the designation CS.
    The synchronisation of colour management cannot be acheived with single applications. Under what circumstances are you seeing this message?

  • Acrobat Color Management - Color Profiles Missing from Drop down list

    I have created a custom .icc profile for my large format plotter. The .icc file is located in C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\color, but it is not visible in my Color Profile drop down list, in the Color Management section of the Advanced Print Setup box, which is available via the Advanced option in the print dialog box. I have set up 10 users, some have Acrobat 8, some have acrobat 9. Of those 10 the profile is not showing up on one of the Acrobat 8's and one of the Acrobat 9's. To complicate matters, last night I sucessfully created a preset for an Acrobat 9 user and linked the profile, but after he logged off and back on today he can no longer see the profile either. Have you ever seen this activity? -Thanks
