Can't get Lightroom Color Management to select custom profiles

I can't get Lightroom Color Management to select custom profiles.
- I select "other" in Profile,
- a pop-up box shows me numerous profiles to choose from
- I select a profile and the selection is highlighted
- I press "OK" and the pop-up box disappears
- but if I go back to the "Profile" selection line, only "Managed by Printer" is available.
What's wrong here?
Is the inability to select a profile the reason that prints from Lightroom look way to dark when I print them?
Vick

Oh, I'm on Windows, XP with SP2.
The profiles are in C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\color
I used the .exe that was provided by Epson for installing the drivers.
Nothing fancy, nothing different.
For Lightroom, I installed it off CD, and got the 1.3.1 update off their Adobe site.
Any clues there, to solve the puzzle?

LightRoom Color Management

Apart from the unique color space and behavior on certain export operations, Lightroom seems rather closed mouthed about color management. (This is a bit unsettling for someone used to all of the control offered by Photoshop) For instance, 1) is there any way to reveal the embedded profile of legacy PS files which have been imported? (all I can presently find for profile is "embedded") 2) what profile (and what gamma) is sent to a printer when printer color management is selected? 3) Is ColorSync enabled? and 4)Finally, is there any source which might make all of this clear?
Bob Hesse

Raw files have no color space, they are essentially Grayscale data.
Existing rendered images have their own embedded profiles and thus color space but IF you apply ANY corrections using LR, you're converting into its internal color space to apply the edits. At that time, you're basically now in ProPhoto RGB (with a linear tone curve) so you might as well export back to 16-bit ProPhoto RGB.
IF you don't apply an edit, the embedded profile will be honored if you open it in Photoshop.

Can't get "Edit Colors" to work in Illustrator CC

Hi. My boss just added Illustrator CC to my mac.
I'm not sure why, but I can't get "Edit Colors" to work in Illustrator CC.
When I select an object and try to reassign colors in the "Edit Colors" menu, the submenus are greyed out.
It works fine on Illustrator CS5, so I'm not sure what the problem is in CC.
Is this a bug or just a limitation of the CC trial period?
Can anyone please help with this?

OK, so Trial Period isn't the problem? Thanks for that info.
I'm working with customer supplied files and often have to reassign colors to artwork for different projects.
I can assign colors with the color panel, but complex designs containing multiple pieces and layers can take for-ev-er to reassign colors that way.
Like I said, "edit colors" works fine in CS5, so I'm trying to figure out why it's not working in CC.
Appreciate any help the forum members can provide.

I assume you're running nm-applet --sm-disable once you get a window manager session up?
Try starting networkmanager after hal. From the wiki:
You must also "disable" the default network daemon, and add the hal, dhcdbd and networkmanager daemons in this order:
DAEMONS=( ... !network hal dhcdbd networkmanager ... )

Can not get any color swatches into Gradient Swatch panel.

I've tried dragging, clicking dragging and only get the circle/line-thru-it. And there is no New Gradient Swatch option anywhere that I can see.
Listen: I've now spent over 4 hours online -- today alone! -- reading instructions that simply do not work. After 4 years of InDesign work and design changes made because I can't get two colors to simply gradient, its time for this function to work for me.

You have at least two possibilites to add gradients to your swatches:
1. Select an Object with a gradient applied. (Take care to have the gradient part selcted in the stroke/fill part in the tool panel.) Got to the Swatch Panel and in the menu of the panel select "New Gradient Swatch…"
or
2. In the swatch panel menu got to "New gradient Swatch…", edit the color stoppers, add some ore remove some and click on the add or ok button.

Logic of Lightroom Color Management

There are, I know, endless posts about Lightroom color management issues. This question, I hope, will be somewhat different, as I don't have a specific problem, yet, but am trying to understand the logic of the software in the hope of avoiding problems down the road (as when I add file types, e.g.) I am also reading a book on color management, but it is on general theory with specific references to Photoshop CS3 (or 2), not to Lightroom. So here are my two questions and I'm hoping that the answers, should I be fortunate enough to receive any, will help not only me but other neophytes.
First, the Adobe online manual says this: "For rendered files such as TIFF, JPEG, and PSD files, Lightroom uses the images embedded color profile to display the image, histogram, and color values. If the image doesnt have a profile, Lightroom assumes the sRGB profile, and the image may not look as expected on your monitor." Clear enough, but what does CS3 do when it is launched from Lightroom to do pixel editing on an image primarily managed in Lightroom? That is, if CS3 is used essentially as a Lightroom plugin does CS3 adopt the Lightroom color management or does CS3 independently have to be set appropriately for the image to appear the same in CS3?
Second, the online manual says this: "Raw photo files generally dont have embedded color profiles. For raw files, the Develop module assumes a wide color space based on the color values of the ProPhoto RGB color space. ProPhoto RGB encompasses most colors that cameras can record." This is confusing, at least to me. Consider the paragraph above in this post, where the manual explains (or at least intimates) that if you create a file with values of a broad gamut such as Adobe RGB but don't embed that profile Lightroom will think it has a narrower gamut, sRGB file and the display will be off (unsaturated and washed out, I presume). That makes perfect sense. But why, then, does Lightroom assume for RAW files the wide Prophoto RGB color space when a camera might not record across this gamut? Wouldn't a camera that records in a narrower gamut cause the same problems for the display as does an Adobe RGB file read as if it were an sRGB file?
Thanks in advance.

>For rendered files such as TIFF, JPEG, and PSD files, Lightroom uses the images embedded color profile to display the image, histogram, and color values. If the image doesnt have a profile, Lightroom assumes the sRGB profile, and the image may not look as expected on your monitor.
Funny but if this came from the manual it is actually incorrect. For tiff, jpeg and psd files, the image is rendered into the linear lightroom color space using the embedded profile or assuming sRGB if there is no color tag on the image. The histogram Lightroom shows is always based on the Lightroom color space with a gamma 2.2 toning curve applied no matter what the source of the file. To answer your question, if you do an "edit in CS3" from Lightroom a copy of the file is rendered in the color space that you requested in the dialog and CS3 uses that space if your Photoshop is correctly set up to respect embedded profiles.
>Raw photo files generally dont have embedded color profiles. For raw files, the Develop module assumes a wide color space based on the color values of the ProPhoto RGB color space. ProPhoto RGB encompasses most colors that cameras can record.
The manual is again not correct here! Embarrassing. I have never seen a RAW file with an embedded profile so generally is incorrect. Also, for RAW files, the module DOES NOT assume prophotoRGB color space. The actual primaries are actually stored in a internal database that is based on calibrations that Thomas Knoll and other ACR engineers did of the specific type of camera. They ARE not the prophotoRGB primaries. The RAW files are rendered into MelissaRGB using those primaries. MelissaRGB has ppRGB primaries but a linear gamma instead of 1.8.
>hat makes perfect sense. But why, then, does Lightroom assume for RAW files the wide Prophoto RGB color space when a camera might not record across this gamut? Wouldn't a camera that records in a narrower gamut cause the same problems for the display as does an Adobe RGB file read as if it were an sRGB file?
See above, the manual is wrong. Lightroom knows the actual gamut of your camera and uses that, not prophoto.

How can I get a drop-down list selection also be selected in another field with the same list but a different name?

I have a street address and a billing address. A question is posed with a checkbox — "Is the billing address the same as the street address?" If Yes is checked, the street address automatically fills the billing fields. If No is checked, the user must fill in new information. In both the street address and billing addres, the State field is a drop-down list. How can I get the drop-down list selection in the street address State also be selected in drop-down list for the billing address State?

Has anyone done this?

Where can I get a list of available selection for certain dict type?

Where can I get a list of available selection for certain dict type in code? For instance, when I use SE16 to view VBFA table, I am presented with many filter criteria. One of them would be "VBTYP_N". When I click on the square next to the option, I am presented with a list of possible values to select from. Where can I get the list of this possible values for any given dict type in code?

Hi Frank,
The list of possible selection you see can be from diferent sources
1) Search helps defined either programatically or search helps defined at table level.
If it is a Z Selection screen check the program, then the data declaration of the parameter
2)Check tables provided at field level. They can be through use of foreign keys. The proposal generated could be simple compund ..
3) Fixed values at Domain level ()

How can I get Multi-color text it a swing componet?

How can I get Multi-color text it a swing componet?
I've tryed JTextPane and JEditorPane.
If they support having text in more then one color then I don't see how.
I want to make a color-coded Java editor in Java, but I can't color-code if I can only have one color.
JComponent.setForeground(Color fg)
is not what I need.
maybe Java doesn't support it yet.
but I hope it does.
Please help, thanks.

Hi,
I've made you a little example with a coloured JEditorPane and JTextPane:
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.text.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class ColorDemo extends JFrame {
 public ColorDemo() {
 super("ColorDemo");
 // coloured JEditorPane
 JEditorPane editorPane = new JEditorPane("text/html",
 " This "+
 " is "+
 " a "+
 " JEditorPane ");
 editorPane.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(250, 150));
 // coloured JTextPane
 JTextPane textPane = new JTextPane();
 textPane.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(250, 150));
 Document doc = textPane.getDocument();
 Style def = StyleContext.getDefaultStyleContext().
 getStyle(StyleContext.DEFAULT_STYLE);
 try {
 StyleConstants.setForeground(def, Color.blue);
 doc.insertString (0, "This ", def);
 StyleConstants.setForeground(def, Color.red);
 doc.insertString (5, "is ", def);
 StyleConstants.setForeground(def, Color.green);
 doc.insertString (8, "a ", def);
 StyleConstants.setBold(def, true);
 StyleConstants.setForeground(def, Color.black);
 doc.insertString (10, "JTextPane", def);
 } catch (Exception e) {}
 JPanel contentPane = new JPanel();
 contentPane.add(textPane);
 contentPane.add(editorPane);
 setContentPane(contentPane);
 public static void main(String[] args) {
 JFrame frame = new ColorDemo();
 frame.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
 public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {
 System.exit(0);
 frame.pack();
 frame.setVisible(true);
}Hope this helps,
Kurt.

Can only get the "Draft" stamp when insert customer stamp with C#+JS

I am trying to insert customer stamp in batch files with C#+JS.
My JS works well in Acrobat. However, it doesn't work when use C#+JS. I always get the Acrobat's "Draft" stamp other than my own ones (the AP value is confirmed correct).
In c#, it runs as this ( with the objectype.InvokeMember())
1. initial an annotation with addAnnot first and get the properties object with method of getProp().
2. Set the type entry of the properties object as "Stamp"
3. With setProp(), modify the annotation to a Stamp annotation, and then get the properties object of the Stamp annotation.
4. Set the entries (rect, page, AP ) of the properties object. Then use setProp() again to modify the properties of the Stamp annotation.
The program runs without any error message. But I can only get the default stamp "Draft".
One thing I found so far, in JS console in Acrobat, if I set the AP properties AFTER set the annotation type to "Stamp", it also get the "Draft" stamp only. as this,
 annot = this.addAnnot();
 prop = annot.getProps();
 prop.type = "Stamp";
 annot.setProps(prop);
 prop = annot.getProps();
 prop.page = 0;
 prop.rect = [0, 0, 100, 100];
 prop.AP = "#xxxxxxxx";
 annot.setProps(prop);
If I set the prop.Ap before the forth line in above para, I can get the right stamp.
 annot = this.addAnnot();
 prop = annot.getProps();
 prop.type = "Stamp";
 prop.AP = "#xxxxxxxx";
 annot.setProps(prop);
 prop = annot.getProps();
 prop.page = 0;
 prop.rect = [0, 0, 100, 100];
 annot.setProps(prop);
Or, if I set the props in the typcial JS format like below, I also get the right one
annot = this.addAnnot({
type: stamp,
page: 0,
rect: [0,0,100,100]
AP: #xxxxxxxx)});
But, the problem is, in C#, the AP properties can only be set after set the annotation type as Stamp (step 4). I think this might be the reason, but I don't know how to get over this.
Please help. Thanks!

No, it can't – but you could do that yourself as part of the watermarking process (ie. Two watermarks or fields)
