Color control in Fireworx CS3 mac

Hi,
I just bought a wide gamut screen (HP LP2475w) which is fantastic for photography and graphic design but when I use Fireworks, Flash and a web browser the RGB colors are very strong and vivid. It's expected when using a wide gamut LCD panel. Is there a way to control the color gamut in Fireworks CS3 to mimic a standard LCD screen (sRGB)? The same as Illustrator and Photoshop have color management tools.
If not, does FW CS4 offer this?
Thanks
Mic

When you use Fireworks with both a wide gamut monitor and an sRGB monitor, is there a difference in the colors? If there is, there's a problem. The colors that most of your audience will see are the colors on the sRGB monitor not the colors on the wide gamut. This means that in order to judge colors accurately you have to view your layouts on the sRGB monitor and not your wide gamut. That's a problem.
If Fireworks used color management correctly, the colors on both monitors would be identical (within reason). Not all of us have a spare sRGB monitor to switch to when we have to do color specific work. I just can't believe that Adobe has gone yet another version of CS without fixing this issue. Especially as more and more designers are buying wide gamut displays.

Identifying Color Controls when calibrating

I am trying to calibrate my monitor with a Spyder3 Elite colorimeter and partway into the setup process I am being prompted to identify my displays Color Controls, in particular if I have Kelvin Presets, Kelvin Slider and/or RGB sliders.
After many searches, and even a chat with Apple tech help, I am still unable to find if any of these settings on my system exist. I'm not convinced that just because I can't find them, doesn't mean I don't actually have them. I have a mac pro desktop version 10.5.8 with 20"cinema display.
Any help is much appreciated

Several monitors on the market have a menu system and a method for making a lot of adjustments, including color adjustments. Apple displays do not have such adjustments or any kind of menu system at all. All adjustment is done on the host system, meaning the graphics card in the Mac Pro.

My Adobe Flash CS6 Color Picker has ODD colors. I'm using Mac Mini OSX 10.8.1. Is there a fix?

My Adobe Flash CS6 Color Picker has ODD colors. I'm using Mac Mini OSX 10.8.1. Is there a fix?
I click on the color picker and where I have seen the normal #0000ff blue color on my windows computer, this mac Mountain lion version shows a purple-ish color. Oddly, If I enter the hex # into the color picker, and use it as a fill, the correct color displays on the stage but when i use the eyedropper on that color, it shows it as the purple color again on the toolbar.
I've seen a similar thing like this happen when using adobe photoshop. However, the usual solution is to just make the managed color profile set to monitor RGB. The only downside with Flash is there is no preference to set that. The color palette in Adobe Photoshop displays as it should with the correct blue.
I should also note that I'm using a Samsung 941bw monitor with my mac mini which could also be part of the problem.
I figured i'd make this post anyway just in case it's the OS & Adobe Flash CS6 and not the monitor.
I've included a screenshot as well that shows that i've chosen the purple color and then made a rectangle shape on the stage and it comes out blue.
Thanks ahead for your response(s)

Seems misleading that on the adobe site for Adobe Flash CS6 it says:
System requirements:
Mac OS X v10.6.8 or v10.7. Adobe Creative Suite 5, CS5.5, and CS6 applications support Mac OS X Mountain Lion (v10.8) when installed on Intel based systems.**

Front end printing with control technology problem with Mac platforms

Hello,
We are looking into replacing Host Spool Access method "F: Printing on front end computer" with the newer "front end printing with control technology" but are running into an issue. Our Mac platforms cannot print duplex nor print multiple pages per side using the new technology. We have followed SAP's recommendation to use the POST2 device type but it still won't allow full printing functionality. Has anyone run into this and if so how did you overcome it?
Thanks and Regards,
Rich

Hi Rich,
I've had success getting duplex printing through "front end printing with control technology" with the Mac SAPgui as follows:
In the Mac SAPgui, go to the Preferences window and select Printing (i.e. Preferences -> Desktop -> Printing).
In the "Media sides" pull-down menu, select one of the "two-sided" choices (such as "two-sided-long-edge").
Click the "Save" button at the bottom of the window (near the right hand side.
Print to a Front end printer.
I haven't figured out how to get n-up printing.

Ipod w/color display not recognized by Mac

I cannot get my Mac to recognize a new ipod w/color display, which has previously only been formatted to a PC.
I used to have my ipod w/color display linked to my Mac, but, then it was stolen. My friend, who had the same exact ipod, gave me hers, which is the one I am now attempting to use on my Mac. She had it linked to an out-of-date version of itunes on her PC. I am aware this could be the issue.
However, on top of this, the new ipod has some battery issues. I have not been able to get my computer or charger to recognize it; when I plug it in to either it does nothing. It only works when attached to ihome or a car charger. I took the ipod to my local Genius Bar, who was able to get it to come to life when attached to their Mac. Ultimately, they restored it but told me that the battery was corrupted (they said that it was fully charged but the battery was still reading itself as dead, thus not turning on).
Why can I not get my Mac to recognize it? If I have it connected to my Mac, shouldn't it come to life when I plug it in? If I can't get it to come to life, how can I update it? Will a new battery fix any of this???

Video controls in iBooks for Mac

I'm producing a Fixed Layout ePub, with video and animation.
Some videos fit the width of the page, nothing to report on iPad reading, but on iBooks for Mac I can't play the video because "play" button is "under" the iBooks "turn page" button!
I see video controls "iPad-like" on Mac, in books like "Yellow Submarine": I've tried to see the code but these books are encrypted.. any help?

SWAP? CS3 Win for CS3 Mac

I have Adobe Creative Suite 3 Web Premium for Windows, and I recently moved over a Mac platform. I am not in a position to upgrade as yet to CS4, so looking for someone who may be in the reverse situation who may want to swap a CS3 Mac for my CS3Win.
I purchased my version as a download, so basically all we need to exchange are serial numbers, or happy to zip up the files and place online for you to download if necessary. I am happy to do same in reverse, or receive a boxed version if that is easier.
(Adobe only offers a cross platform exchange for current versions.)
Please respond here if you are interested, and we can make arrangements.
regards
Geoff

How can one place a single image on a spread? CS3-MAC

Hi all,
i How can one place a single image on a spread? CS3-MAC
A very straight forward question I think. I just never did it before. Anyone knows of a fast technique of doing this? I have to make 70+ images this way. Could it be scripted?
thanx in advance
Michael

You'll need to be more specific. Placing a single image on one spread is drop-dead simple. File > Place, choose file, click (or click-and-drag) to place, scale and position as desired. You can ask about scripting in the
scripting forum.
You might not need to script this to get efficient use of time. Make a picture frame on the master spread and then insert 140 pages (70 2-page spreads) based on that master. File > Place, and select all 70 files. (They need to be in one folder. Click on the top file, scroll down, lick on the bottom file.) Zoom out and click once on each spread to place each image. Should work faster that writing, testing, debugging, and running a script.

CS3/Mac photoshop.executeScript problem

Hello
I am having trouble getting photoshop.executeScript() to work on CS3/Mac. photoshop.executeScript is a simple wrapper for BridgeTalk and I want to call it from InDesign.
I have seen reports of others being unable to get it to work. However, I have also seen reports of people doing InDesign/Photoshop cross DOM scripting.
Using ESTK2 the following 1-line script works with target apps bridge, illustrator and indesign but not photoshop (unless photoshop is also the host):
app.executeScript("alert((12345678).toString());");
I would like to know whether this is a problem specific to my installation.
I have also looked at how BridgeTalkIterator in the Bridge CS3 WasScriptLibrary.jsx does things and can't figure out how I might get photoshop.executeScript to work for me in InDesign.
Any clues would be much appreciated...

There is no app.executeScript function in PS.
photoshop.executeScript('alert("testing")') works fine for me from ESTK2 and
from in PSCS3 on XP.

How to deactivate a Photoshop 10.0/CS3 (Mac) serial key when the workstation with the activated installation has been entirely wiped?

Hello,
We have a license for Photoshop 10.0/CS3 (Mac version) but it appears that the users previous workstation was wiped without deactivating the installation of Photoshop. Now when he tries to activate the product, it says that the maximum number of activations allowed has been reached. Does this mean that we need to deactivate the serial key somehow? If so, how are we supposed to do it without the activated installation?
Thank you very much,

Photoshop CS3 Mac: Crashes on startup?

Photoshop CS3 Mac: Crashes on startup?
Hi all!
I just today installed CS 3 Web Premium on my G5 (Dual 2.7GHz, 2GB RAM, Mac OS 10.4.9, all updates installed). The install seems to succeed, and I've activated the suite, and all the other applications launch without a problem. But Photoshop doesn't. It shows the splash screen and gets as far as "Initializing Suites" when it drops off the face of the earth, and I'm prompted to send a crash report to Adobe (done).
I've tried restarting the Mac, re-installing just Photoshop, and even creating a new Admin user and trying it there, but Photoshop still crashes in the same place. So it's apparently nothing in my user account or just a randomly mucked-up install.
I did a search here for "initializing suites" but nothing came up, and even Google found just one other report of a CS3 crash at exactly that point, so a) it's not common, but b) it's nevertheless not just me. Hmm.
Has anybody seen this? I'm funkified...

Ramón is exaggerating.
First: find the uninstaller in the Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers and TRY to run it even though you already deleted the application.
If it won't DO anything, go to Macinosh HD/Users/your username/Library/Preferences and delete the Adobe Photoshop CS3 Settings folder (and its content) PLUS the Adobe Photoshop CS3 Paths file in same location, PLUS the com.adobe.Photoshop.plist file in same location.
Then try to reinstall again.
If that doesn't work, run the cs3 clean again. Note that it is a script and that it asks you questions that you have to answer to and type in replies to for it to do anything. I fyou donät interact with it it won't do a thing. Note that it might clean out more adobe files than you would wish for.
There are instructions here
for how to unisntall the public beta of Photoshop CS3 but you might be able to follow those also for a non-beta. There are no instructions for manually removing Photoshop CS3 at the support center as far as I can see (on the other hand it is next to impossible to find anything on the support pages by doing a search.. search for Photoshop CS 3 for Mac and get articles about Illlustrator or CS...).

Color faded in photoshop (CS3 Windows)

Hi all,
Recently when I open an image or graphic in photoshop the color all looks faded. I've checked and its not CMYK color mode - but it looks like it.
When i go to save the image though (e.g. Save for Web) the color is normal again?
Not sure what setting has changed or whether I've accidentally pressed something but I would appreciate if someone has experienced this before or knows what I've done if they could let me know.
It's quite distracting !
Thanks

Your response is much appreciated.
The response is presumptuous because we don't know what operating system you are using.
Most Windows browsers should not shift sRGB color at all BECAUSE Windows Defaults/Assigns/Applies/Assumes sRGB when files are untagged (or unmanaged), so BOTH tagged and untagged sRGB should look identical in Windows (at least in Vista).
The Mac is 'different' BECAUSE it Defaults/Assigns/Applies/Assumes MonitorRGB when files are untagged (or unmanaged) — this means OSX will display tagged and untagged sRGB differently in color-managed apps.
In Mac unmanaged applications, OSX will display tagged and untagged sRGB identically BECAUSE the same default monitor profile is being Assigned/Applied/Assumed.
In Photoshop, if we strip the profile, Photoshop (in essence) Defaults/Assigns/Applies/Assumes its Working RGB.
If colormanaged applications like Photoshop and Safari are displaying tagged sRGB with a yellow color cast — you probably have a bad monitor profile to rule out...

Had you been using wired networking before you began to set up wireless? Had you given yourself Administration status with command-u, or were you using default TCP/IP and AppleTalk windows? Had you used command-k from the TCP/IP window to name a location (configuration)? Failing that your automatically assigned configuration would have been Default. It is worth your while from the standpoint of security to use these facilities, and, if necessary to set up a different configuration for wi-fi, lest there be any conflict in TCP/IP Preferences between an older wired or dial-up configuration and the wireless. If you wish to overwrite the old configuration by editing it, that is possible. You can choose, if you wish, to maintain several different configurations and connection modes with different names. As an administrator, you are able to change between them at will in much the same way as OS X provides, although the windows and access methods look different.
