Color issue with PS CC 2014

Hello,
I work on Mac 10.7.5 with XRite i1 Profiler. I work my pictures with Capture One Pro 7.2.3. Since I've upgraded to Photoshop CC 2014 my colors are wrong. My photos retouched with Iridient Raw Developer or Capture One Pro appear well calibrated, but when opened in Photoshop become greenish black. Someone could help me?

The translated error:
Unable to save preferences, because the file is locked, you do not have the necessary permissions or the file is in use by another program. Use the 'Get Info' from the Finder to make sure that the file is unlocked and you have the file permissions. If the problem persists, save the document in another file or duplicate it in the Finder.
That is kind of self explanatory: your preferences cannot be altered because the file is locked or the permissions are messed up on the directory. That's also probably why the migration of previous settings failed.
As the message says: you need to fix the permissions on the preferences file and folders.

  • Issues with Audition CC 2014

    Hi, Gang.
    I've been a user of AA since ver. 1.5.  There are still a lot I would like to see in the form of feature additions, and I have had nothing but good things to say about the program (having been a ProTools user since the dawn of daws) until recently.
    Lately, I've been experiencing a lot of sluggish behavior with the program, and I am posting this to make sure that it's not on my end. Here are the symptoms...please let me know if any of you can think of a direction to explore.
    (All of this started with the last update to CC 2014 - cannot say when that was, but within the last week to 10 days)
    1. when moving multiple clips of audio on a track in time or from track to track, after releasing the mouse button, an hourglass appears, and it takes MINUTES for the cursor to return, to be able to perform the next command.
         a. while this is happening, if I go to Task Manager to investigate what's happening, the "memory (private working set)" column is starting to creep up in RAM usage. When the creeping stops, the cursor returns - it got up to 20GB today (out of 32GB).
         b. further evidence of something being wrong - after EVERY command instruction, it takes at least a second for the action to be performed; this can be seen when the History window is open while performing commands.
    2. Video Playback Issues:
         a. I've now started to experience the video window goes black (while in Multitrack mode) if I just returned from Waveform mode.  The only way to get it to work again is to (1) rt-clk on video window ans set 100% Scaling then (2) rt-clk on video and set Best Fit scaling.
             It will continue to work until I go to Waveform mode, upon my return to Multitrack mode, I have to "reset the scaling" again.
         b. Video playback is stuttering, sometime taking 10 seconds to play normally [I have audio/video playing off of my 550+MB/sec internal RAID-0 array, 65% capacity]
    3. Random Crashing - session only contains 16 tracks and 6 busses   <--- Solved this with uninstalling CC 2014, reinstalling 2014 and NOT importing CC preferences (the issues above still remain).
         a. when switching to Waveform mode from Multi mode, CRASH
         b. importing from OMF, every 5th import, CRASH
    If anyone has any insight, please let me know.
    Thanks,

    Yes, that's correct.
    Since the installation of the 7.0.1, both CC and CC 2014 are behaving badly. I want... I NEED to revert back to 7.0, but I no longer have the version option...unless you know where to get it.
    Aside from it never crashing or slowed down functionality, I really liked having video playback in Waveform mode that synced with audio as it appears in the multitrack session....great for Dx cleanup and audio restoration.
    This bug cost me $400 in billable time because of crashes and performance issues.
    I have a Director's Review session on Friday at 3pm, and I really need to get this solved ASAP.

    PS. Audition CC never behaved like this either until the 7.0.1 CC 2014 install upgrade.

  • Cintiq 21ux Color Issue with Snow Leopard

    I just recently upgraded to Snow Leopard from Tiger. I have a Cintiq 21ux tablet that is noticeably "faint" now on the new SL. It appears hazy and the colors just don't pop like they did on Tiger. I didn't have this issue with Tiger. Does anyone have any ideas on how to correct the issue? I'm a graphic designer so color is EXTREMELY critical in my day to day operations.
    I adjusted the gamma and that showed some improvement but there is still a dramatic difference between my Apple monitor and the Cintiq.
    I noticed this was posted earlier but no resolution provided and it was archived.
    Please help!

    Something just occurred to me that has happened in the past that when I've upgraded the OS that the ColorSync profile that was previously selected for the Cintiq and/or my main display for whatever reason gets unselected. You may want to look in the System Preferences/Display/Color Tab to make sure that the color profile you previously had selected is in fact still there and selected. Make sure that "Show profiles for this display only" is unchecked so that all profiles are visible. More than likely it should be named something like Cintiq 21UX or Cintiq 12WX which was installed when you set up the tablet.

  • Font color issue with inserted HTML content in JTextPane (HTMLEditor)

    Hi everyone,
    I have a very serious issue with the HTMLEditor I'm developping. This editor is a little bit special since it is intended to edit blocks of HTML content that are loaded when the editor is initialized.
    You can in fact decide to keep this loaded HTML content or start a new HTML document from scratch. Alright, now my issue is the following :
    When text is loaded, it's properly rendered. I have a functionality which let's you see the HTML code from the HTML document used in the editor, so I can check and see if code is correct, and yes, it's correct.
    The problem is that when I try to change the color attribute of some text on my loaded content, nothing happens ! I don't know what's the matter with this bug, I only have it with the color attribute, with every other attribute everything's fine (font, size, etc.)
    The funny thing is that, after I change another attribute for loaded content, like font family, then changing color attribute funcionnality starts to work again !
    I've also noticed that I don't have any of these problems when I start my HTMLDocument from scratch (when I create a new HTML document and start typing text).
    Another weird thing, is that I have a feed-back feature in my editor which reflects attributes for text over which the caret is positionned. For example, if you put caret over red text, the color combo box displays a red value, you know, just like in MS Word. Well, with my loaded content if I have a red text color and I decide to put it in green, the color combo box displays the green value when I click over text for which I have changed color, but in my JTextPane it's still red !! And when I try to see the HTML code generated nothing has changed, everything is still red !
    There is something really strange here, this means that when I get the attributes of the loaded text from the HTMLDocument, color appears to be green, but when it gets rendered in the JTextPane it's still red and when it gets anlyzed to produce the corresponding HTML code, these changed attributes are not taken into account.
    But the most weird thing above all, is that I don't have this bug everytime, sometimes I start my HTML editor applet and it works fine, and some other times this color issue is bakc there. Is this a known bug for Swing API or not ?
    =============
    This is more or less my technique :
    //I declare a global reference to my HTMLDocument
    HTMLDocument _docHTMLDoc;
    //Create a JTextPane
    JTextPane _tpaEditor = new JTextPane( );
    //Set type content to automatically select HTMLEditorKit
    _tpaEditor.setContentType("text/html");
    //Get a referene to its HTMLEditorKit
    HTMLEditorKit _kitHTMLEditor = (HTMLEditorKit) _tpaEditor.getEditorKit( );
    //I then have a function to create new documents
    void newDocument(){
      _docHTMLDoc = (HTMLDocument) _kitHTMLEditor.createDefaultDocument();
      _tpaEditor.setDocument(_docHTMLDoc);
       //I do other stuff wich are not important to be shown here
    //I then have another function to load content
    void loadContent(){
       //I get content from a HashMap I initialized when I started my applet
       String strContent = (String)_mapInitParameters.get("html_content");
       //I set content for my editor
       _tpaEditor.setText(strContent);
    //Notice.. I have tried many other ways to load this text : via HTMLEditorKit and its insertHTML method, I
    //have also tried to store this content in some reader and make HTMLEditorKit read it... and nothing,
    // I always get the bug
    //To change color it goes like this :
    JComboBox _cboColor = new JComboBox();
    //I correctly initialize this combo with colors
    //then I do something like this
    ActionListener _lst = new ActionListener(){
       public void actionPeformed(ActionEvent e){
          Color colSel = (Color) _cboColor.getSelectedItem();
          MutableAttributeSet mas = new SimpleAttributeSet();
          StyleConstants.setForeground(mas,colSel);
          setAttributeSet(mas);
    _cboColor.addActionListener(_lst);
    //Set Attributes goes something like this
    private void setAttributeSet(javax.swing.text.AttributeSet atrAttributeSet) {       
            //Get current 'End' and 'Start' positions
            int intCurrPosStart = _tpaEditor.getSelectionStart();
            int intCurrPosEnd = _tpaEditor.getSelectionEnd();
            if(intCurrPosStart != intCurrPosEnd){
                //Apply attributes to selection
                _docHTMLDoc.setCharacterAttributes(intCurrPosStart,intCurrPosEnd - intCurrPosStart,atrAttributeSet,false);
            else{
                //No selection : apply attributes to further typed text
                MutableAttributeSet atrInputAttributes = _kitHTMLEditor.getInputAttributes();
                atrInputAttributes.addAttributes(atrAttributeSet);

    hi, friend!
    try this:
    void setAttributeToText(JTextPane pane, int start, int end, Color color) {
    MutableAttributeSet new_att = new SimpleAttributeSet();
    StyleConstants.setForeground(new_att,color);
    HTMLDocument doc=(HTMLDocument)pane.getDocument();
    doc.setCharacterAttributes(start,end,new_att,false);
    It works fine in my Application, hope will work in yours, too.
    good luck.

  • Export color vs. print to file color issue with 2.3RC

    Hi,
    I'm having problems with exporting photos for web-site usage.
    In short: colors get extremely washed out and plain when using "export to disk" (requesting sRGB color profile, in jpg-format). But, when "printing to file" using sRGB profile and rendering intent perceptual colors are reasonably close to what I see in LR. Yes, I know, sRGB is limited, but...
    Why there is such a difference when both methods are using sRGB for generated jpg? Is it the fact that rendering intent can not be selected for "export to disk"?
    As I can not control pixel dimensions in Print mode is not an option for my use (and I can not control sharpening with plug-in, but the color issue is there to begin with without any export plugin intervention).
    In contrast, LR 1.4 export to disk gives reasonable colors, the color issue has appeared with 2.x series.
    Running Windows XP SP3, LR 2.3RC, display calibrated with Color Vision SPyder 2.
    Please help, this is driving me nuts :(

    I think, that your examples shows the same problem as my observations.
    It seems that your display has even smaller gamut than sRGB (on my notebook DELL D620 this is also the case) so after you calibrated it, both lightroom and color managed firefox shows more saturated colors than windows explorer showing exported image (as far as I know, export from library module works correctly, but win explorer is not doing conversion to your monitor profile, that's why image is undersaturated). This is correct. It is really hard to calibrate such a low quality display, which can often be found on cheap notebooks - I have my own experience with it. Blue shades are really weak so heavy corrections have to be done in the profile (generated with spyder in your case), which can result in purple skies (why? Read this: http://www.brucelindbloom.com/index.html?WorkingSpaceInfo.html).
    Problem is with image printed to file. This should look same as file exported from library module given that you use sRGB both as a destination space in export from library and as a printer profile while printing to file. In your case LR printed your image using values corresponding to your monitor profile (even if sRGB was selected) which resulted in oversaturated image (because your display has smaller gamut than sRGB). In my case images printed to file are undersaturated (because my monitor has gamut wider than sRGB). But I'm sure this is a bug! Your monitor profile should not affect printing to file in any case if sRGB is selected as printer profile!
    Summary: purle sky in LR and in color managed FF is ok, but purple sky in image printed to file is not ok. :-)
    And my hint: do not try to calibrate this display... :-)
    You can try to make some measurements of your UNCALIBRATED NB display using this freeware: http://www.homecinema-fr.com/colorimetre/index_en.php You will probably see a very uneven color temperature across grayscale and much smaller gamut than sRGB.
    Let us know your findings.

  • Bizzare Color Issue With JPEGs In RGB

    Recently when I've imported any jpegs from either the web or from my Thinkstock account I get strange color issues when it opens the image. Mostly the distortion happens in the whites. By default it opens in RGB mode (figure 1) and the issue goes away if I convert to CMYK mode (figure 2) but the image needs to be in RGB for me to use in an After Effects comp. Is there some step I'm missing in my color management? Thanks!

    Make sure you install the 10.9.1 update.
    Another test you can do is disable GPU drawing in Photoshop's preferences, then relaunch Photoshop.
    If the problem goes away, then it was caused by the video card driver (or, possibly by a defect in the GPU, but those aren't as common).

  • Issues with Adobe CC 2014 and Suitcase Fusion 5 New Release

    I have recently downloaded Adobe CC2014 and am having issues. I have done an uninstall and clean re-install of the latest version of Fusion 5 and still have the same errors/issues. I also did a clean uninstall and reinstall of my CC2014 applications but the issues persist.

  • Issues with Photoshop CC 2014

    I have lost the ability to be productive since purchasing the photographers CC plan and installing Photoshop CC 2014.
    1. Send photo from Lightroom 5.7 to PSCC 2014 then edit using photoshop and NIK collection plugin. Photo begins to loads into PSCC2014 then hang-up and PSCC stops responding causing me to force quit PSCC or photo loads into NIK Collection Plugin without any issues, editing is performed, but when I click "OK" the program hangs up, ( photoshop stops responding), resulting in a Force Quit and loss of all work.
    2. Send image from Lightroom 5.7 to Photoshop CC 2014 using "Edit In". PSCC2014 hangs up while loading image and has to be forced to quit or it loads photo, work is preformed and after clicking "SAVE" to return to LR 5.7 photoshop hangs up and stops responding, causing loss of all edited work.
    I have uninstalled PSCC 2014 along with presets and then reinstalled. No change in outcomes! I have updated and reinstalled the NIK Collection Plugin with no change in outcome. I am unable to get any work done for the last 4 days. I am considering canceling my CC account and trying to return to working with LR 5.7 and Photoshop CS6 as I had before purchasing CC photographers plan providing I can with success return to that configuration.
    Can anyone help? I sure hope so.
    Thanks… gwj

    So the problem is with PSCC, not Lr?

  • PDF Color issues with Pages 09

    I made a new Page Layout document with Pages 09. I created my own page templates for this document. The left page of the document uses a wide blue filled band and the right page uses a narrower blue filled band.
    Both use the same exact color. (I'm even using the DigitalColor Meter app to show me this.)
    I exported the finished file to pdf using the best setting. When I open it up in Adobe acrobat reader, I now have two different colors. One is purplish, the other is navy blue. This is visible on the PC screen. If I open it up in Preview on my mac, they are all the same color.
    Any ideas?

    Well, yes. I was more after links to information about why they wait.
    There is a legal side and a technical side. The legal side revolves around antitrust issues, apparently. The technical side revolves around the same issues as in the past.
    Through cross-licencing, Adobe Systems controls the composition model and the configuration of composition products at any point in time.
    At the Seybold Conference on Computer Publishing in September 1989, John Warnock stated that the proposed protective separation of character processing from glyph processing was "garbage" - according to the New York Times.
    In December 1990, the PostScript Language Reference Manual, Second Edition, Appendix E, published how drawing ligatures, small capitals etc would be done by overruling the character set.
    This is the road to destructive drawing: it sacrifices content-based spelling, searching and sorting for the sake of appearance-based composition.
    The Apple developer discussion stated in 1992 that a composition model that can draw a glyph design if and only if the glyph codes is directly depicted onto a character code is disastrous.
    By the time QuickDraw GX was available in q3 1994 there were at least 15,000 Adobe Type 1 products and at least 100 million licences (there were 22 million licences in September 1989).
    By promoting the Adobe Type 1 library, and in particular the Adobe Type 1 Expert library, Adobe destroyed the text services of Apple Mac OS, simply.
    Microsoft TrueImage was discontinued partly because PostScript Level 2 does not support the screen in its colour management model and partly because Adobe Type 1 and the PostScript use of a completely configurable name space instead of a coded character set allows Adobe to overrule the OS text services at any time.
    When Adobe in April 2002 made the the Adobe OpenType library available on the Adobe Font Folio, in place of the Adobe Type 1 library, Adobe applied the same tactic. As John Hudson points out, all alternate glyphs were available for drawing with Private Use Area characters which is analoguous to what Adobe Type 1 Expert did before.
    Because Adobe bases PDF on PS and because PS ignores intact SFNT indices as well as intact ICC indices, Adobe based PDF on the completely configurable name space model of PS. For this to work in synthesising source character specifications it is necessary that the name space be configured with ISO-IEC 10036/AFII glyph identifiers or with ISO-IEC 10036 character identifiers.
    It is also necessary that the glyph stream be passed into PS in reading order and not in geometric order, that there be a linear relationship of characters to glyphs in the processing (problems with bidirectional ordering and with functions like insertion in AAT e.g. for Khmer), and of course that font-indenpendent identifiers in fact by implemented by all concerned - which they are not.
    XPS revolves around keeping the source character string intact, PDF does not revolve around keeping the source character string intact (not for lowend office typesetting of the Latin script, at any rate). At the Linotype Typotechnica in April 2007, Adobe announced that configuring CMAPs with PUA would not be discontinued - it would be continued.
    In other words, technically Adobe is using the completely configurable name space of PostScript as a weapon against Microsoft just as it used it as a weapon against Apple. But the problem is that Adobe publishes no documentation with its type products informing the customer in the EU of how the type product is in fact configured, and that may or may not be illegal.
    Personally, I don't have a problem with PUA drawing provided it is documented in order that the everyday enduser understands that the ISO-IEC 10646 standard character set is being overruled and that a synthesis has to take place from a private name space model, but if this is not documented then the everyday enduser is made hostage.
    This is where Adobe's tactical use of type as a strategic pawn in its struggle for the digital document market becomes politically problematic. How are we ever going to rid the Mac of Adobe Type 1 'Expert'? Adobe and Linotype spent a fortune marketing the idea that correct type was done by changing the correct text. Utterly braindead from day one.

  • Color issue with CS5

    Hi,
    I recently bought the latest version of photoshop CS5, but when I open my pictures in CS5, the colors doesn't look as good as when I was using CS2. They look more flat, with less contrast and it's driving me crazy because if I add more contrast and save it, when I preview it in other software, like windows viewer, than they look too contrasty.
    Also, when I open my raw files in Adobe Camera Raw and set (camera calibration) to lanscape since my original picture from my camera was taken as lanscape (I just prefer that setting!), they look good. If I save it as a JPG and then open it in photoshop CS5, the JPEG image doesn't look as good, it looks flat. When I open the JPG in windows picture viewer, the image appears good, the same as in ACR.
    I've checked the proof mode under View>proof setup and both CS5 and CS2 were: Working CMYK. I've tried to play with these setting in CS5 to see if it would help, but I can't get the same image as I had with CS2.  Also, when I go under edit>color setting, it's the same setting in both software (sRGB EIC61966).  In ACR, my image is also in set to sRGG.
    Why are my picture looking so flat in CS5. I can't work on them because I'm affraid I will add to much contrast.  Also, I edit them in ACR, contrast looks good and than when I open it in CS5 I have to restart again because there is not enough constrat :S  This is so frustrating!!!! I would love some help on this.

    Hi!
    Thank you so much for trying to help!!!! Unfortunately, I'm afraid that it doesn't solve my problem .   I still don't understand why I never had this problem with CS2 (image were looking much better) and the color setting are the same.  Also, I don't understand why the image in CS5 doesn't look the same as in ACR.  ACR seems to give me a much better image and this is the image I want to open in CS5.   Even when I open my Jpegs that I processed months ago in CS2, they look much better in ACR than CS5. The image in ACR is the same as CS2.  How can we explain that!!  Could it be a display setting in CS5 that I need to change???
    Wolf, see below some of my comments on your tips.  Thank you so much for taking the time to explain everything It's very appreciated!
    Mary, welcome to the world of colour management.  Thanks!
    Tip #1: if you are having colour issues you can be virtually certain that the problem does not lie with Photoshop or ACR. They are fully colour managed applications and understand colour far better than most users.   You are right, I wish I could understand it like them!!! hehe!
    Tip #2: comparing colours between Photoshop and any other non-colour managed application is futile.  Yes I agree, I shouldn't compare with Windows Viewer, however, I think that my image in photoshop and ACR should look the same but they are not
    Tip #3: turn off the Highlight indicator in ACR (click the right triangle in ACR's histogram).  Done but it doesn't solve my problem..
    Tip #4: sRGB is a colour space with a very limited gamut and explains your "flat" look in Photoshop. sRGB cannot capture the vibrant reds captured in the (cute) child's sweater.   In CS2, even when using sRGB, the colors were vribrant and very nice!
    Try the following experiment:
    In ACR save the file as an 8 bit sRGB (as you have already done). Then save as a 16 bit ProPhoto RGB tif file. Open both in Photoshop and compare. The sRGB image likely looks more muted especially in the red tones. (Ensure that you have your Photoshop colour preferences set to Preserve Embedded Profiles.)
    Now take the ProPhoto RGB image and choose Edit -> Convert to Profile. In the Convert to Profile dialog click the Preview box and set the destination profile to sRGB. See the difference?  I did the experiment, but unfortunately it doesn't solve my problem   But I was able to see the difference between Prophoto RGB and sRGB!
    What you were seeing in ACR was the ProPhoto RGB version and in Photoshop the sRGB version.
    Another example with histogram and more details...
    Many THANKS,
    Mary

  • Color issues with video

    Hi All,
    Thanks for looking in.
    I have a little web series I am doing and when it is exported it looks good. (Color) When uploaded to Youtube looks good. When previewing it through my channel looks good. When going to full screen view, the color gets wacky... Oranges are really orange, almost an overbleed, some of the graphics become pixilated.
    I am exporting this file as a 720 h264.mov  Mixed down from 1080 29.fps shot in 60p All looks good as mentioned, but even some of the P.S Graphics are getting blown out. Which are created in 1080 and then shrunk down to a 320 size. All done in P.S such as Text, Gradient.  Other videos I watch on the same computer do not have the issues mine does..Leads me to believe my HD monitor on my Toshiba Laptop is not doing the change, it has to do with my video.
    The screen that it is being full-screened on is my laptop 20 or 21" monitor.  Toshiba Sattelite HD BTW
    Any suggestions on what I should be looking at? Is this overcome with exporting it as a 1080? Or is this where Speed Grade plays a role? Thanks for pointing me in the right direction on this.  It's like a color correction issue only when full screened.
    Thanks again,
    NC

    320 to fit into a virtual monitor in my fake news studio. A quality 1080 file then shrunk down in PP when installing it on a virtual monitor within a virtual set.  Leaving with a size of about 320 down from the original of 1080.
    To elaborate on the set. The whole set is getting blow out in Full Screen. Yet looks great at regular view. Looked good on my Dell monitor during editing. Looked good on my Dell monitor when previewing .mov file after export. Previewing in FullScreen. BTW. Only gets blown out via Youtube after upload and then using the FullScreen mode from there.
