Assigning Profiles To Images

I haven't found a way to assign a profile to an image in Aperture. Is this by design? An oversight? An ignorance of how to use Aperture on my part? I was expecting a command like the one in Preview where I can assign a profile, or convert to a profile. Thanks in advance, Michael

Richard: Thank you for the pointer, it was helpful. Now I understand that Aperture doesn't expect us to assign or convert in Aperture, but only when we print or export. However, I have some slide scans that are unconverted—that is, just the raw data from the scanner. I also have some profiles for the scanner, and would like to assign them to the scan files. Must I do this in PS or Preview first? It seems like something I ought to be able to do in Aperture. Thanks again, Michael

The *.icc file is associated with PS process after assigning profile for a picture of CMYK mode ?

Hi everyone, I have a curious problem for your help
My OS is Windows 7. Start PS and open an image, choose "Edit" -> "Assign Profile...", in the pop-up dialog there is a drop-down list showing many system profiles, and I find all of these *.icc files are stored in folder "C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\color". Just choose any profile to assign, then go to folder "C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\color" and find the related icc file, for example, JapanColor2001Coated.icc is for profile "Japan Color 2001 Coated". Now you can still rename the icc file, that is, the icc file is not taken by photoshop process. Our company has a software to generate icc files, however, when assign these profiles, the icc file is associated with PS process, which means I can't rename or delete the related icc file, even after assigning another profile, unless close the image documents, that is unwanted. So I'd like to know the reason, in fact I'm not very clear about the ICC file structure. I want to make the local disk file not associated with the process so I can do other operations.
Any suggestion will be appreciated.

I made a quick try and I can change the name of various custom profiles I've created using Photoshop but it appears that the name of the profile can't be changed if Photoshop was started with the profile in question selected as a soft proofing profile in View > Proof Setup. You have to quit Photoshop, just changing the soft proofing profile to another is not enough.

How do you assign profile in a format plugin read sequence

I have a format plugin that will read various image formats. I know what the source colorspace or profile (i.e. ProPhoto RGB, sRGB, AdobeRGB, whatever) is. I haven't figured out how to do the equivalent to Assign Profile from with my Read sequence in my Format Plugin.
Surely there is a way to do this. ACR does it.
Any clues will be greatly appreciated!

Well, it appears that you just fill in the iCCprofileData/iCCprofileSize fields with an ICC profile.
You can read the ICC profile for a filter plugin and you can specify an ICC profile for a format plugin read sequence.

Problems with assign profile

Hi,
I want to make default an option "don't color manage this dokument".
How can I do that?

Unfortunately, it appears that you can't - at least not with the default interface.
There is an option "Don't Color Manage this Document" in the Advanced section of the New... dialog window but unlike the other options there, this doesn't remain for the next time and reverts (defaults) to the profile selected for the Working Spaces in the Color Settings. The problem is that this options is not available in the profile menus of the Color Settings. I think you have a good case for a feature request - to include this option in the Working Spaces section of the Color Settings.
Meanwhile, you can create an action by recording Edit > Assign Profile with the option Don't Color Manage This Document and use it with a hot key which you have to press each time after creating a new document and when you want to remove a profile.
You can check what color profile an image has in the Info palette (F8). To display this information make sure it is checked in the Info palette's options accessible from its menu located at the top right on the palette.

Error while creating user - not authorized to assign profiles or roles

I have configured CUA according to the help.sap.com instructions. I am getting this error (in TCODE SCUL)..
+You are not authorized to assign profiles
Message no. 01589
You are not authorized to assign profiles to users or to cancel the authorization.+
I can create the user, change the address data, and initial password.
I get errors on assigning to a group, parameters, or the role and profiles.
We are on NW Mobile 7.1 (ABAP stack only) SP05.
I've read Note "492589 - CUA: Minimum authorizations for communications users."
It mentions SP07. Is this not compatible?

> Run SU53 (immediately after you receive the error message) and check which authorizations that failed. You probably miss S_USER_PRO with activity 01 or 02 from your own roles.
I think that will not work in his situation. The errors show up in SCUL so they may come from one or more of the CUA children. Running SU53 in the CUA master will (if that is the case) not provide the necessary info.

Keywords cannot be assigned to multiple images

A keyword can NOT be assigned to multiple images at the same time when following the procedures outlined in the Aperture help. I can't find this problem addressed in a FAQ or knowledge base. We're told to select multiple images in the Browser window then drag a keyword to any of the images to assign that keyword to all the selected images. This does not work -- only the specific image on which the keyword is dropped will actually be tagged with the keyword. The other images, though properly selected, do not receive the keyword. The keyword must be assigned to one image at a time. Needless to say, this is more time consuming than it's worth when you're faced with thousands of images that need to be tagged.
I own two registered copies of Aperture, both up to date with the latest patches, and the problem occurs on both systems, so I know its not something related to a single computer.
Surely I'm not the only person who has encountered this problem?

I thought I had the same problem, but then did the following:
1. In Browser (grid view) went ot lower right and turned off the "primary only button" (ie it should not be "lit")
2. Highlighted the images I wanted to apply the same keyword to
3. Opened the keyword HUD
4. Clicked on the keyword I wanted and then dragged it to one of the highlighted images in the browser

Colour profiles of images are removed by Muse

Muse removes the colour profile of images when resizing or cropping them. Apparently, colour profile is preserved when image is in original size.
This is a MAJOR ISSUE not solved in more than eight months since it was reported.
Muse is useless for an artist to display his work if colours are displayed incorrectly.

Some browsers support color management and some don't. In order to have image color preserved across browsers you'll want to save your images using a sRGB color profile. If another color profile is used and the browser doesn't support color management, color shifts will occur.
If the images are already sRGB and you're still seeing a color shift, it would be helpful to have the URL for a page that demonstrates the problem. Thanks.

Assigning profiles

A lot of the threads in this forum seem to concern text-editing but in my job we have different priorities, namely prepress-concerns.
Many of our customers work in obsolete color-spaces and anyway we often have to output for different print-conditions, so correcting the color-settings manually on numerous files can be somewhat boring
So could any of You provide me with a clue concerning assigning profiles to a document with JavaScript?
Thanks for any suggestions

Found it:

Converting/assigning profiles

I've been experimenting with various settings in CS (on a mac OS X) and reading this forum (as well as G Ballard's helpful website). Could someone clear up a few questions for me:
I read on GBallard that I should honor the source file's embedded profile. And that the file's source space should equal PS working space. Also, sRGB is the preferable space for both (am I wrong in that?). My main confusion is in trying to align the file and PS spaces.
-- in PS working space settings, if I choose US Prepress Defaults as recommended, it automatically chooses Adobe RGB for working space. Should I leave it on this setting, or should I change working space RGB to my monitor RGB (which then changes the setting to 'custom')?
-- Then -- what should my source space be? my photo files are tagged Camera RGB. Should I convert these files to the same space setting as the PS (such as sRGB)? I use images on both web and an epson R800.
Basically, I'm really confused about whether I should be changing color profiles at all. I initially started tinkering because my prints were so dark and muddy, and changing profiles seemed to help. (AppleRGB worked best, for some reason) I'm now more or less getting the results that I wanted, but I would really appreciate some guidance, so it doesn't feel so hit and miss.
(I have calibrated my monitor to 2.2 gamma 6500/D65 profile)
Thank you,
Keiko

Keiko,
One question at a time -
"I read on GBallard that I should honor the source file's embedded profile.
Yes. That means that when you open the tagged file (file with an embedded profile) you should have Photoshop either "Preserve the Embedded Profile" or "Convert to Working RGB." You set these in the Color Settings section where you should also check the boxes to have Photoshop prompt you for Profile Mismatches (the profile in the file is different from the Working Space that you have selected for Photoshop) when opening files and pasting and when opening files that have Missing Profiles.
Photoshop is "honoring" the file's profile when it "Preserves" or when it "Converts." In either case, it uses the file's profile to accurately determine the actual colors in the file. The profile lets Photoshop reference the file's RGB values against an "absolute" color space called CIE Lab to arrive at an accurate understanding of the colors.
When it "Preserves" the profile, it writes that profile back into the file when it Saves. When it "Converts" it writes its Working Space Profile into the file. Either way the color will be accurate. But I recommend Converting. That way a "standard color space" profile gets written into the file when you're done editing.
"And that the file's source space should equal PS working space."
No. You're misunderstanding something. The file's source color space is described by its profile. Read the above regarding Preserving or Converting the file's color space when bringing it into PS.
Also, sRGB is the preferable space for both (am I wrong in that?). My main confusion is in trying to align the file and PS spaces. "
No again. The file gets its original color space (created and assigned) by the device creating the file. That color space MAY be sRGB, or it may be some camera's proprietary profile.
But, sRGB is a good space to use as Photoshop's Working Space if you are primarily working on images destined for the Web.
Adobe RGB 1998 is also a good general purpose Working Space, especially if your images are going to be printed on a printing press. You can work in Adobe RGB 1998, then convert to sRGB before Saving for Web.
Working spaces constrain the decisions PS must make in "mapping" (converting) color information from source space (a digital camera) to destination space (monitor, printer). Without Working Spaces, PS would need to give inordinate importance to colors far out of gamut for the destination space, to the detriment of accurate representation of "less exotic," more "important" colors.
NEVER, NEVER, NEVER set Photoshop's Working Space to your monitor's profile. You may be able to get things set up so that you get consistent results looking at your images on your monitor, printing to your printer, but no one else will see the colors you "think" your images contain. Use Adobe RGB 1998, sRGB, ProPhoto RGB. These are all Device Independent spaces. Your monitor profile (color space) is unique to your monitor (Device Dependent).
"-- Then -- what should my source space be?"
Your Source Space is whatever profile your digital camera embeds in the file when it creates it.
"my photo files are tagged Camera RGB."
That's right.
"Should I convert these files to the same space setting as the PS (such as sRGB)?
Yes. See above.
"I use images on both web and an epson R800."
When you Save for Web you need to make sure you save the Web jpeg file in sRGB space, that is, Convert to sRGB as part of your workflow in Saving for Web. (You also should embed the sRGB profile in it. But the reality is that Web browsers, whether they understand ICC profiles or not, assume files are in sRGB space, whether they have an sRGB profile or not, and act accordingly on them)
If your PS Working Space is sRGB and you Convert files you bring into Photoshop to sRGB on opening, then no further conversion is needed before Saving for Web.
Whatever your PS working space, you will print to your Epson 800 through your Epson 800 ICC Printing Profile (either supplied as a "canned" profile from Epson, or a custom profile that you have generated or paid for through a profiling service). You let PS manage the color conversion involved in translating from its Working Space to the printer's Destination Space by selecting "Let Photoshop Determine Colors" under "File/Print With Preview/Color Management/Options.
That's a lot of information. Please read it several times. But don't hesitate to ask if something doesn't seem to click.

Assign profile or convert to?

I have seen but not read this discussion a few days ago, do you know where it is, and if not, right now I just need to change profiles from Adobe RGB (1998) to sRGB. Which one?, my files are layered.

Just to be perfectly clear...if you know for an absolute fact that the colors in an image reflect some know color space (like sRGB) then you want to "Assign" a color space...if you don't know for a fact the you might want to investigate further...
Assign presumes that you know the actual color space the image is in...convert (far more likely) takes the colors of the image and actually coverts the image colors to be the corrected image colors...

Assigning Profiles in Illustrator CS5

Hi Guys
I have the issue when opening Illustrator documents containing images with different profiles, I have to decide on the assigning or converting for each image. Is there any global way within Illustrator to assign the working space of the document to all images?
I know I can open the files individually in Photoshop, assign the correct profile then save the file and this will fix the problem, just wondered if there was a quicker way, as in InDesign.
Many Thanks

Hi Steve,
If you would like to automatically assign Illustrator's working space to all incoming documents, go to Edit > Color Settings and do the following:
1. Working Spaces: select the RGB and/or CMYK profiles that you would like all incoming RGB and CMYK images to be converted to.
2. Color Management Policies: select "Convert to Working Space" for incoming RGB and CMYK documents, uncheck the "Ask when..." Profile mismatch and missing profile boxes.
You may have to make sure the main document you're working in and importing files into is set to the working space profile for this to work. New documents in Illustrator are by default set to the working space RGB or CMYK profile.
The first imported image that contains a profile mismatch may still ask you once if you're sure you want to convert to the working space profile. All following docs should no longer ask. I think this is how Photoshop is set up, at least...

Assign/Change page image in TOC - RoboHelp 9

Hi there
First off, before I even write this I'm fully aware there is a strong possibility it will come off as me being argumentative. Please know up front that this is not my intent.

This part is the real reason for my reply. I'm mystified as to why one would elect to use RoboHelp for all other authoring aspects, but resort to HTML Help Workshop (HHW) to manage assigning icons when you are able to easily to it from inside RoboHelp. Sure, HHW is free, but we are still assuming folks are using RoboHelp as we are in the RoboHelp forums, no? Why would I elect to use a separate tool when the tool I have does exactly what I need? So that bit is a real puzzler to me.
I noticed you also wanted to point out that the help for HHW states you may use your own icons. And to that I would caution that while it certainly is possible and I've done it, actual implementation is far more painful than many care to use. As a result, the whole notion of using your own icons is most likely abandoned after seeing how difficult it can be to get implemented.

Colour profiles problem - images saving too dull. Please help.

I realise you have probably had this question a million times before and I have looked at enough related threads, but I am still at a loss as to what to do. Please note I'm not the most computer-savvy.
For the record I am using Photoshop 7 (yes it's old, but it suits my needs just fine!) and Windows Vista Home Premium.
What I do is take photographs of my artworks, edit them in Photoshop until they look accurate, then post them online. Images have always looked identical in every program, and I had never had any problems, until I got connected to the Internet on Tuesday. This computer has not been connected to the net for a good few years, and so lots of updates got installed. I'm not sure which ones exactly, as my boyfriend took care of that, but I'm convinced this has caused the problems I am having now:
First I found that an image I had edited and saved as .jpg for web use was showing up overly saturated and contrasty in the Windows Photo Gallery preview. I assumed I had saved it wrongly. I re-opened the jpg in Photoshop to check - it looked exactly as I had saved it. I figured something had messed up with Photo Gallery during updates, so I uploaded the jpg to the Internet. The image that uploaded was the overly-saturated, contrasty one.
After realising that suddenly ALL the images I had uploaded online, and all the images saved on my computer, now had this awful over-saturated look, and yet the thumbnails on my desktop looked fine... I realised it must be something to do with the colour profiles, and tried to find out the answer online. My monitor colour profile was set to "21.5 inch monitor" so I changed that to sRGB as default. I can't remember what Photoshop was set to, but at any rate I set it to sRGB also.
I thought I had it fixed, as it seemed to just be Photo Gallery that was not matching up (it was displaying my images with less saturation than as I saved them).
However today I took a new photo of a drawing I'm working on, to load onto my blog. I had to take it into Photoshop to make edits and correct, as always. I opened my photo in Photoshop... lo and behold, far too contrasty and saturated!!
This time, Windows Photo Gallery preview is showing the (unedited, straight out of camera) photo as it should be... Photoshop opens it too contrasty.
I made my edits anyway, saved for web as .jpg, checked the jpg in Photo Gallery before uploading... It saved duller than it should have done!
Uploaded the jpg to the internet... and I have the dull image uploaded.
So first they were too contrasty, now they're too dull. I have tried to follow advice given on similar topics, to no apparent avail.
Being an artist who displays work online and has a certain reliance on the internet... my images have to be accurate and consistent all the way through. Is there anything I can do to set things back to the way they were before?
I appreciate any help.

eartho - All my images are already converted to the sRGB colourspace by default, as far as I can tell. My images out of camera, the ones I have edited and saved as jpg - I even checked some old images. Through Mode/Convert to Profile, they're all already set to sRGB.
emil emil - Thank you. I will do that in the morning - right now my head hurts and I need my bed.

Assigned ringtones with image doesnt work together...

hello, could someone help on my new nokia 5800, while using the image (stored n tranferred frm pc by reducing the required size) I cant hear the spl ringtone assigned to the same contact. Though if i use nokia inbuilt images (came with the set) or dont use any image, I can hear the spl ringtone assigned to the contact as well as the image.
cheers!!
lalit

Problem solved. I got my 5800xm six days ago and just figured the problem with my ring tones. Its very easy just go to your contacts and set the numbers as they appear when someone calls you I am from Trinidad but in my contacts I had the numbers starting with *31# and then the persons number because in Trinidad with bmobile if you block your phone's number from the settings you can just use *31# in front the persons number & it will show. My wife just called me and the ringtone played so I wondered how come so I checked the number & notice it was the same work # she called me from yesterday and I saved it not having time to put *31# in front of it .In my contacts I had the number but with *31# in front of it for eg I had in my contacts *31#7566766 the # I save was the same but it appeared on my phone as 8687566766 and thats how I solved the problem It's just your Country code in front the numbers in the contacts so now I put *31#8687566766 and it works with no problems (In Trinidad our country code is 868). Or if not just put the numbers you see when someone calls you its that easy.
