Color management: Adobe RGB 1998 issues in print module

When printing to a JPEG file from the Print Module, I've noticed that the "Adobe RGB" profile differs substantially from the "Adobe RGB (1998)" profile supplied with Windows.
When viewed with Photoshop, the "Adobe RGB" images are much more saturated than the image previews from the Lightroom window. Photoshop displays the same "Adobe RGB (1998)" profile for both files.
I have tried to reinstall Lightroom, but this has not solved the problem.
It seems that when selecting "Adobe RGB", Lightroom is in fact converting the image to sRGB, but embeds the "Adobe RGB (1998)" profile.
ICC profile selection: http://julianchoquette.com/fichiers/forum/lightroom-color-a.png
This will output files that look like the previews in Lightroom: http://julianchoquette.com/fichiers/forum/lightroom-color-b.png
Profile selection pop-up: http://julianchoquette.com/fichiers/forum/lightroom-color-c.png

Yeah that is completely different. My guess is that this is the bug I mentioned before. It should not happen but clearly does. It works normally on my system (I just tried again).
>Note that both dialogs do not display exactly the same name for the Lightroom provided Adobe RGB profile. http://julianchoquette.com/fichiers/forum/lightroom-export-dialog.png
That's normal and doesn't mean anything. On my computer it actually says "AdobeRGB" without the (1998) that yours shows but I believe that's simply a difference between the Mac and PC version. You can try whether it does the same thing if you select prophoto. But somebody with Vista x64 and LR 2.3 should try the same thing to see if this is a bug specific to the PC version of LR.

  • Adobe RGB (1998) Missmatch

    When I do the following:
    1) Importing an image into Aperture (eater saved in Camera as Adobe RGB (1998) or in Photoshop CS3 with Adobe RGB (1998)
    2) Within Aperture: Edit with Adobe Photoshop CS3
    then Photoshop gives me this Mismatch Window:
          Embedded:  Adobe RGB (1998)
    Working Space:  Adobe RGB (1998)
    OSX 10.5.4 has an Adobe RGB (1998) Profile so does Adobe CS3.
    How can I solve this Mismatch. The same Profile is in two locations.
    a) Library: Application Support: Adobe: Color: Profiles: Recommended: AdobeRGBN1998.icc
    b) System: Library: ColorSync: Profiles: AdobeRGB.icc
    bc

    Odd thatn it would give you a mismatch when they're the same profile.
    In Photoshop go to Edit >> Color Settings
    Make sure RGB is set to Adobe RGB (1998) in the Working Spaces area.
    Also make sure that RGB is set to Preserve Embedded Profiles in the Color Management Policies area. This setting should stop the error messages unless you have "Ask when Opening" checked.
    Thay's all I can think of.

  • Color Management, Photoshop CS3 and Epson Inkjet Printer

    I have been down this road before but here goes again...
    Im using Photoshop CS3.
    Im printing on an Epson Stylus Photo RX680 using Photo quality inkjet paper.
    I know this printer is capable of very good quality prints.
    Thing is I can not figure out the correct combination of color management settings to get a decent print out of Photoshop or InDesign.
    I have read that you are supposed to turn off all printer color management and let Adobe manage the color. Doesnt seem to work.
    I just get overly magenta images that look awful.
    If I let the Epson color management control color I can get a lot closer but the print out is far from accurate or high quality.
    So what the heck IS the correct protocol for printing to an Epson inkjet printer from an Adobe app.
    BTW, I do seem to get a fairly decent print out of something like a PDF which I understand does its own postscript conversion before hitting the printer.
    Is this what my issue is?
    Does Photoshop or InDesign require postscript ripper software to get decent results out of an inkjet printer?

    Have spent hours with both Adobe and Epson support people. I've read several of these forums. Is there an insurmountable problem with CS3 and Epson (2200/2400 are mine)? I have the Leopard patches and upgrade 10.5.4.
    With Photoshop managing the color I get prints that are slightly underexposed and carry a pink cast. Color management is off. With the printer managing the color I get prints that are too green and dark. Epson advice here is to have color management off. There are two other choices for management but to adjust a perfectly balanced print to the printer's whim seem like cruel punishment.
    Have a calibrated monitor and my CS2 works beautifully. Perhaps the best idea is to just go back to CS2 until Adobe and Epson can decide what to do. According to Adobe people, the CS3 gives much of the management back to Epson. According to Epson -- with CS3, you should choose the printer to manage the color (since this seems to be the trend between the two companies) but we users are not happy with the results.
    What is the solution for right now?

  • Why are previews in Adobe RGB (1998) ?

    In experimenting with emailing previews from Aperture I noticed they were washed out when displayed on the Windows PC that received them.
    I dragged a preview to the Mac desktop and choose “get info” to see that the Profile Name is Adobe RGB (1998)
    If I export (using the export function) the same file it’s profile name is sRGB Profile.
    Why is this, and is there anyway to have previews use the sRGB Profile?

    First - Yes, if you view a photo saved in the Adobe RGB color space and open it in a program (or computer) that is expecting a photo in the sRGB color space, the colors will looked washed out or pastel and not show the vibrant colors you original intended.
    Adobe RGB is most commonly used by professionals submitting to publications. Unless your client says otherwise, I would submit your photos to them in the Adobe RGB color space.
    Corbis, for example, asks their photographers to use the Adobe RGB color space because that's what most of their clients ask for.
    I use sRGB for my family photos, emailing photos to friends, and the web.
    Second - If I understand your question right,
    You can set your email export preset in Aperture's preference window. From there you set your file format, size, compression, AND your color space.

  • Adobe RGB (1998)

    Aperture seems to have changed all my pic profiles to Adobe RGB (1998) and I know no reason why.  Can anyone help? 

    Raw files actually do not have a color space. A raw file is just a collection of data and not an image in the traditional sense, it is not an image until it is converted by the software either in the camera (if shooting JPG) or on the computer.
    The EXIF entry makes no difference with a raw file, Aperture fills it in but it would be more correct if it was left blank. You do not need to worry about color space until you export the image from Aperture and then you would set it to what you need for your workflow.
    If you search for somehting like color space raw files on the web you'll find more detailed information concernig this but the answer is basically the same, raw files do not have a color space.

  • SRGB in 5d Mark 2 are saved as Adobe RGB (1998) in CS5

    I used to think that was my mistake in the camera, but if that is normal, it's just not fair. I know I have to convert, but I don't see why this change.

    I apologize for mixing things up, i have both CS3 and CS5 on the dock, but i was actually using CS3 because i want to stay with the tried and truth
    for this thing, so i had set RGB in the camera, but my pictures are, as default, checked as Adobe RGB (1998) as a color space in the save as dialogue box, is this what you mean by color settings? i said, I know how to convert, but i don't see why CS3 should change my color space.

  • Changing Colour Space - How do I save an image in Adobe RGB 1998?

  • Missing red color in adobe RGB

    I shoot raw with Nikon Camera. I am having a problem with getting red color in photoshop. . For nef files, I open them in Capture NX2 and then save as jpg in Photoshop.  The jpg image was opened in Photoshop CS5 with a color setting of sRGB, beatiful red color is seen on the screen. When the same.file was opened in in Photoshop CS5 with a color setting of AdobeRGB ("aRBG"). the red color turned into orange color.
    As shown here,  the only difference in color is red hue between sRBG and aRGB.  This is not an isolated case.  All of my pictures look like that.  When printed on Canon i9900 inkjet printer under "Photosbhop Manages Colors setting, red color comes out in orange color.  But printing under Printer Manges Colors" setting, they came to be close to red color.   I do not understand why aRBG does not produce red color.  Could someone explain to me why?
    PS: I could not upload two pictures (sRBG and aRBG).  It seems that inserting image was disabled.

    These statements are vague or functionally incomplete.  For example, are you saving your JPEGs with a color profile embedded?  When you choose "Photoshop Manages Colors", what profile is set for the printer?
    Do you have a basic understanding of color-management?
    The kinds of color shifts you're describing can occur if you are assigning a profile different than the one the RGB values are encoded in, or viewing an image encoded in Adobe RGB with a non-color-managed application.
    The document color profile needs to match the profile used to encode the RGB values, and the application needs to interpret the color profiles of both the document and the output device for the color to be displayed or printed properly.
    May I recommend going out and seeking some primers on basic color management online.  Keep in mind a lot of what's published is sometimes misleading or downright inaccurate, because a lot of people have trouble understanding color management at first.  Try to avoid advice that says "set it like this", but seek the information that describes how color management actually works, so that you can get your mind around it and make your own informed decisions how to set things up.

  • Color Management in an HP C510a Photosmart printer

    Hello,
    I just purchased a new HP C510a Photosmart and would like to change the Color Management setting so that Photoshop CS5 controls it.
    Have no clue as to where to do that.
    Please help!
    Thanks.

    I've tried printing from both the catalog and the editor screen and I've fooled around with the color mgmt.  The printing is still off.  The colors are vibrant from what I can see and when it prints it's not as sharp and the colors tend to be dull or maybe leaning towards more green/blue sometimes even more reddish - orange.  I've taken the liberty and reseted the printer to factory defaults on the hardware and on the pc...It's till giving me this problem.  What's amazing is I can print from Kodakgallery software, photoalbum 3.2 from adobe and the colors are some what true to color.  I can't get it to print right with elements.

  • Color management settings for HP Photosmart d7460 printer?

    Hi,
    HP Photosmart d7460
    Windows 7 Pro 64 bit
    I have the above printer, and I have recently used Datacolor devices to manually calibrate both my monitor and printer. I notice that when, for example, I use Adobe Photoshop Elements or Corel Photopaint X4 to print photos, that I am advised to select software to handle color management. I also receive a message informing me that i should switch off printer color management in printing preferences (i.e. the printer driver software). Unfortunately the only options available in the printer driver 'color management' drop down menu appear to be either Colorsmart/sRGB or AdobeRGB. I understand that there should be another option, either 'no color management' or 'application controlled' but it is not present. There is also no option, in this menu, for the ICC profile that I have created for the printer, although the profile is present in the Adobe Photoshop Elements application, and in Corel.
    How do I switch off color management by the printer and allow the application to solely control color management? I understand that having both the application and printer control color management can lead to poor colours.
    Regards, Chris

    does anyone have any suggestions, any help appreciated.

  • Color management accross two printers.

    Hi,
    We have two printers at work, one Epson Stylas Photo R1800 and one HP DesignJet Z2100. They want the colors to match across both printers for printing photographs, and do not want to use any RIP software.
    I have tried
    - getting the application to manage colors, with the Adobe RGB 1998 profile (having changed the document to this profile first)
    - both printers to print with Adobe RGB 1998 profile using printer managed colors (with document in Adobe RGB 1998 profile)
    - getting the application to manage colors with the print driver selected for the printer I am printing to in the print profile section of the adobe dialogue box (and the driver turned off in the printer dialogue box) and the image converted to CMYK.
    - Same as the above but with proof checked in photoshop dialogue box
    - lots of variations of the above trying different rendering intents
    Whenever I let application manage colors, the prints come out very dark (and not the same dark colors across both printers). I am using the same paper for both printers.
    Apparently the colors were not different until we upgraded to CS3 (before I joined the company)
    Any suggestions?

    Not to sound jerky, but I might suggest buying a RIP. That's gonna be your best way to get prints to match. That, and to make a custom profile for each printer. You'll have the world at your fingertips. If your world is about color matching... which mine is!
    That being said, I've goofed around with making a custom RGB profile for my Epson 7800 and had some luck with it. Your standard print drivers are always RGB. Even if you send CMYK, it converts to RGB and then back to its own CMYK when you print. Essentially, you will print an RGB target, use a spectrophotometer to read them in and make an RGB profile from it. Then, every image you print, you convert (not assign) to this profile. It's been a while since I tried this, but I'm pretty sure I turned off color management in the print dialog in order for this to work right. Again, this is not completely optimal but it's better than nothing.
    If you don't have a spectrophotometer or software to make a profile, you should be able to find services online that can help you out, or ask a friendly color managed printer in town if they have a color management guru they turn to.

  • Color management help needed for adobe CS5 and Epson printer 1400-Prints coming out too dark with re

    Color management help needed for adobe CS5 and Epson printer 1400-Prints coming out too dark with reddish cast and loss of detail
    System: Windows 7
    Adobe CS5
    Printer: Epson Stylus Photo 1400
    Paper: Inkjet matte presentation paper with slight luster
    Installed latest patch for Adobe CS5
    Epson driver up to date
    After reading solutions online and trying them for my settings for 2 days I am still unable to print what I am seeing on my screen in Adobe CS5. I calibrated my monitor, but am not sure once calibration is saved if I somehow use this setting in Photoshop’s color management.
    The files I am printing are photographs of dogs with lots of detail  I digitally painted with my Wacom tablet in Photoshop CS5 and then printed with Epson Stylus 1400 on inkjet paper 20lb with slight luster.
    My Printed images lose a lot of the detail & come out way to dark with a reddish cast and loss of detail when I used these settings in the printing window:
    Color Handling: Photoshop manages color, Color management -ICM, OFF no color adjustment.
    When I change to these settings in printer window: Color Handling:  Printer manages color.  Color management- Color Controls, 1.8 Gamma and choose Epson Standard it prints lighter, but with reddish cast and very little detail and this is the best setting I have used so far.
    Based on what I have read on line, I think the issue is mainly to do with what controls are set in the Photoshop Color Settings window and the Epson Printer preferences. I have screen images attached of these windows and would appreciate knowing what you recommend I enter for each choice.
    Also I am confused as to what ICM color management system to use with this printer and CS5:
    What is the best ICM to use with PS CS5 & the Epson 1400 printer? Should I use the same ICM for both?
    Do I embed the ICM I choose into the new files I create? 
    Do I view all files in the CS5 workspace in this default ICM?
    Do I set my monitor setting to the same ICM?
    If new file opens in CS5 workspace and it has a different embedded profile than my workspace, do I convert it?
    Do I set my printer, Monitor and PS CS5 color settings to the same ICM?
    Is using the same ICM for all devices what is called a consistent workflow?
    I appreciate any and all advice that can be sent my way on this complicated issue. Thank you in advance for your time and kind help.

    It may be possible to figure out by watching a Dr.Brown video on the subject of color printing. Adobe tv

  • For P.O.D. Printing: How to Set Adobe RGB Color Space

    Hello and thanks in advance,
    (I'm using InDesign CS 5.5 on a Mac.)
    I need to set the proper PDF export settings
    For printing a book on demand, with color drawings inside on the text pages.
    The onnly instructions that I have been able to find, say this:
    "Submit your graphics in the Adobe RGB color space, withprofile embedded."
    The Big Question: How do I do that ?
    I know enough to start with
    File --> Adobe PDF Presets --> Press Quality
    Then I click on the "Output Menu"
    and here's where I start to get lost.
    for
    Color Conversion ...
    I think I should select "Convert to Destination"
    for
    Destination
    I think it should be "Adobe RGB (1998)"
    Now in order to embed this profile,
    What should I select under:
    Profile Inclusion Policy   ?
    And is there anything else I should be doing to get these inside color images printing nicely ?
    Thanks again,
    IthacaAuthor (aka ZorbaTheGeek, but the forum would not let me log in with my old screen name)

    Virtually all digital printing is done via either PostScript or PDF. In the former case, the PDF is converted to PostScript viat use of Acrobat and in the latter case, the PDF is sent directly to the digital printer.
    In either case, CMYK is in fact the actual destination color space. There are no real RGB printers!!! What is true is that non-PostScript / non-PDF printers (typically low end laser and inkjet printers as well as specialized inkjet and dye sublimation photo printers) do take in RGB via drivers and convert that to CMYK, but I don't believe that is what you are dealing with.
    Our recommendation at Adobe for best printing results, whether for offset or digital printing, is to export PDF as PDF/X-4 with no color conversion using the default CMYK color space (SWOP CMYK) or if instructed otherwise by your print service provider, one of the other CMYK color spaces provided by Adobe or by the print service provider themselves. FWIW, most on-demand digital print devices do have settings to fully emulate SWOP CMYK printing conditions. Using PDF/X-4 in this manner allows the existing color content in your InDesign document to be properly tagged in the output PDF file and converted to CMYK at the digital printing device's RIP.
    (It might also assist us if you can provide a pointer to the explicit instructions provided by your print service provider.)

  • Color management issue

    I'm scanning some old 35mm slides on an old iBook G3. I must use this because my scanner is no longer supported by the newer versions of OS10. The setup works just fine; just the other day I rescanned something I originally did almost 8 years ago and you can't tell the difference visually between the two versions. However, I'm making a book using these scanned illustrations in a newer iMac using OS10.6. I'm laying the book out using InDesign and Photoshop CS3. The problem is that when I view the scanned images in Photoshop--which look great on the old iBook--on the new iMac, all sport a noticeable yellowish cast with also a tad of red. I've been tearing my hair out trying to troubleshoot where the problem is. Not only do the images look much warmer on the iMac, but the prints from this computer do also. Under "color spaces" I have set both computer working spaces to Adobe RGB(1998) and under "color management policies," both computers are set at "preserve embedded profiles." I have come to a dead halt and would appreciate some advice as to steps I might take to resolve this frustrating issue. By the way, both monitors have been calibrated numerous times; as I say, the prints come out just as different as do the images on the monitors. Thanks for any help.

    10.6 was the first version to properly display untagged sRGB. The print thing, I don't know, that's a WTF.

  • Color Managed Printing from LR 1.3.1 Inverse of Proper PS CS3 10.0.1 Behavior

    Please excuse the length and detail of this post - I'm just trying to be very clear...
    Also, it would be helpful if anyone having definitive information about this topic could please email me directly in addition to replying to this forum topic, in order that I might know a response is available sooner (I am new to this forum, and may not check it regularly). My direct email address is [email protected].
    Bottom Line: Color managed printing using my own custom-generated profiles from LR 1.3.1 to my Epson 7600 (on Intel-based Mac OS X 10.5.2, but saw the same behavior with 10.5.1) using the current Epson 7600 Intel/10.5x-compatible driver (3.09) is broken, and appears to be doing the exact opposite (inverse) of what I would expect and what PS CS3 does properly.
    I am color management experienced, and have been using my custom-generated EPSON 7600 profiles with reliable soft proofing and printing success in PS (both CS2 and now CS3) for some time now. I know how the EPSON printer driver should be set relative to PS/LR print settings to indicate desired function. Images exported from LR to PS and printed from PS using "Photoshop Manages Color" and proper printer driver settings ("No Color Adjustment") print perfectly, so it isn't the Intel-based Mac, the OS, the driver, the profile, or me -- it is LR behaving badly.
    The specific behavior is that printing from LR using "Managed by Printer" with the EPSON driver's Color Management setting set properly to "Colorsync" prints a reasonable-looking print, about what you would expect for canned profiles from the manufacturer, and in fact identical to the results obtained printing the same image from PS using "Printer Manages Color". So far so good. Switching to my specific custom profiles in LR and printing with the driver's CM setting set properly to "No Color Adjustment" yields results that are clearly whacked, for both LR settings of "Perceptual" and "Relative CM". Just for completeness and out of curiosity, I tried printing from LR using the same profile (once for "Perceptual" and once more for "Relative CM") with the EPSON driver's CM setting set IMPROPERLY to "Colorsync", and the results were much more in line with what you would expect - I would almost say it was "correct" output. This is why I used the phrase "inverse of proper behavior" in the subject line of this topic. Going one step further, trying this same set of improper settings in PS (PS print settings set to "Photoshop Manages Color" with either Perceptual or Rel CM selected, but using "Colorsync" rather than "No Color Adjustment" in the Color Management pane of the EPSON printer driver) yields whacked results as you would expect that look identical to the whacked results obtained from LR using "proper" settings.
    I said above that the improper settings from LR yielded results that I would almost say were correct. "Almost" because the benchmark results rendered by PS using proper settings are slightly different - both "better" and closer to each other - than those rendered by LR using the improper settings. The diffs between the Perceptual and Rel CM prints from LR using improper settings showed more marked differences in tone/contrast/saturation than the diffs observed between the Perceptual and Rel CM prints from PS using proper settings - the image itself was in-gamut enough that diffs between Perceptual and Rel CM in the proper PS prints were quite subtle. Even though the improper LR prints were slightly inferior to the proper PS prints, the improper LR prints were still within tolerances of what you might expect, and still better (in terms of color matching) than the "Managed by Printer" print from LR. At first guess, I would attribute this (the improper LR prints being inferior to the proper PS prints) to the CMM being used by LR being different from (inferior to) the CMM I have selected for use in PS (that being "Adobe (ACE)"). I can live with the LR CMM being slightly different from that use

    (Here's the 2nd half of my post...)

What is at issue is trying to determine why LR is clearly behaving differently than PS in this well-understood area of functionality, all other variables being the same. (And, incidentally, why am I not seeing other posts raising these same questions?)
    My "workaround" is to use "Managed by Printer" for printing rough prints from LR and to do all other printing from PS, especially given the noted diffs in CMM performance between LR and PS and the fact that printing from PS also supports using Photokit Sharpener for high-quality prints. Still it would be nice to understand why this is happening in LR and to be able to print "decent" prints directly from LR when it seemed appropriate.
    Any insights or suggestions will be very much appreciated. Please remember to reply to my direct email address ([email protected]) in addition to your public reply to this forum.
