Color management policy options

Indesign 5.03 mac os x 10.5.4
basic CMC workflow only for the visualisation
Preserve Numbers (Ignore Linked Profiles) when occurs an conflict with profiles
this is the option, I have set to protect the cmyk color for the imported images and as well for the objects created in Indesign self, means it never changes the cmyk values of any cmyk color ... like 80%y 80c will remain, even if the document created in a coated work space and is converted to the current workspace uncoated
seams to work so far.
to proof this I've created a pdf and picked up the colours in acrobat pro they are still 80%Y 80%C
is this reasoning correct? 
then I am gone a step further and wanted to see what happens with the cmyk values, when I set the option to Convert the document To Working Space which was completely different to the current workspace !
again created a PDF have measured he values in acrobat, which to my surprise were still the same!
no matter what I Adjusters, the cmyk values do not change neither for placed object nor for objects created in indesign ?!
any ideas ?

thanks for responding
I tried like you told
I created a document wit the settings 'convert to workspace' ( for RGB and CMYK ) workspace for RGB it was ECIv2.icc and ISO Coated for CMYK
I imported a RGB pictures, filed with RGB 90 50 150 (.eps) the profile RGB ECIv2 embedded. I created the colour (RGB 90 50 150) directly in the document as well.
I closed the document and changed the workspace in Indesign to s'RGB and ISO Uncoated and opened the document again. the warning pops up and I set / convert to the documents work space ( well there, it has 3 options for placed objects /remain the assigned profiles / activate all or deactivate all / i tried all of them ) this option I don't understand ....
observation:
it didn't change anything on the colour, neither for the imported image ether for the colour created in Indesign.
but !! when select from the edit 'convert to profile' and I select the sRGB
the values for the colour created in Indesign change in the colour pallet to RGB 89 54 144 and this is how I expect.
this behavior, I would expected by when the option convert to .. is set
thanks for helping

  • Lightroom's color management paper options don't match any paper i can buy from Canon

    Up to now I have been using "managed by printer" for printing on my new Canon MG8250. But i have seen several suggestions that i should let Lightroom manage the colors so i decided to give this a go by choosing "other" instead.
    This gave me a list of papers to choose from: Canon IJ Color printer profile 2005, fine art photo rag 2, GL2/SG2, GL3/SG3, MP2, Other fine art paper 2, PT1, PT2, PT3. All the names being preceded by MG8200 series apart from the first one
    However, when i looked up the papers available from Canon, these were all different:  Photo paper pro platinum (PT-101), photopaper pro luster (LU-101), photo paper plus glossy II (PP-201), photo paper plus semi-gloss (SG-201), glossy paper everyday use (GP-501), Matte photo paper (MP-101)
    There are some papers here which look as if they they might relate to the lightroom list eg PT-101 and PT1, SG-201 and SG2 but, at the moment, i am particularly interested in which option should be used to match the photo paper plus glossy II (PP-201) paper which I have bought - GL2 looks as if it might be a contender
    Any help would be most appreciated

    Hi ssprengel,
    Thanks for the reply. I didn't know how these things work but now realise that my profiles seem to have been sitting in windows/system32/spool/drivers/color  since I bought the computer in 2010.
    The guide you referred to suggested that at least one of the profiles on my computer, GL3, should be suitable (there was no mention of GL2) In fact I ended up trying most of my profiles but they all had a very distinct red tint which was completely unacceptable. I even tried specifying and downloading a new profile from Ilford (I can't see where to get these from Canon) but this had the same red tint. When using the profiles I did switch off Color Management in the Print Preferencies, or rather i set it to manual and left all the sliders at zero.
    When i used "managed by printer" there was no red tint and the print looked reasonably good although not quite matching the screen, particularly in brightness.
    It may be worth mentioning that, for the profiles, the red tint was obvious in the print preview. I did not have to wait until the actual print, although I obviously did print to check.
    I did try printing my RAW files to JPEG then printing via Explorer and this ended up around the same quality as "managed by printer" directly from Lightroom
    Any ideas  about what causes the red tint when using the profiles?

  • Color Management Problem

    I just installed Photoshop CS3 on my home PC, and seem to be having a problem with color management. When opening photos taken with my Canon G9, or even pictures downloaded off the web, in Photoshop they appear badly posterized. Viewing the same photos in the Canon ZoomBrowser, or with the standard Windows XP tools, they appear correct.
    Obviously, my color management is not properly configured. I am using the standard North American defaults with sRGB for my RGB working space, and I've tried every RGB color management policy. My monitor is an older Dell 24" LCD (I don't have the model number in front of me right now). My monitor is not calibrated, but that would not account for the dramatic difference I see in Photoshop vs. other viewing applications.
    The best I can achieve is by switching the RGB working space to Monitor RGB (or proofing with that configuration), and discarding the embedded color profile (sRGB in my Canon images). And yes, Photoshop does list the specific color space profile for my Dell monitor. This still results in a different color rendition from that which I see when viewing the same photo in other applications, with blues shifted slightly toward purple.
    I have several other Mac and PC based Photoshop systems in my office, but I haven't had the chance to see how the same pictures look on those. It seems to me that this is something particular to the color space of my Dell monitor, but I'm not sure of the appropriate way to correct it.

    Your prints are too dark. So you need to either make your monitor darker,
    or your prints lighter. Given that you are probably fairly happy with your
    monitor for cruising the web, etc, let's focus on your printer.
    If it's like my HP, there is a brightness adjustment in the printer driver
    under Start>Settings>Printers and Faxes><"printer name">. Adjust it until
    the overall brightness of the print matches, as closely as possible, the
    appearance of your screen.
    To save paper and ink, I recommend that you print a thin strip at the top
    of the page, and snip off the strip after each test.
    Here is a test strip that you can use, with a variety of blurred skin tones
    as well as a gray test strip. The procedure is documented here:
    http://curvemeister.com/downloads/TestStrip/digital_test_strip.htm
    As a final check, download images from any well-known web gallery and print
    them, or use one of the calibration images from www.drycreekphoto.com . If
    they are too dark or too light, you may want to revisit the brightness of
    your monitor.
    Trust your vision, and treat this as a learning experience. With a little
    patience, and a systematic procedure, you can get good results without a
    calibration device.
    Monitor calibration devices are a valuable tool in a professional or high
    end amateur setting. No one is saying they are a complete solution to
    matching display to printer, and some final tweaking may be necessary for
    matching print and display.

  • Best Color Management Settings for Web in CS3

    I've seen tons of info on what color management settings can be used in CS3, but most seemed to favor work for printing. I'm just wondering what settings people think are best for color and B&W photo web work in particular... I already have both the monitor and PS set for 'sRGB IEC61966-2.1', but other than that, there seems to be a lot of opinions. I just want everything to have the best chance of looking the same on other comps as it did on mine. I also have Proof Setup set to 'Monitor RGB'.
    Thanks,

    1. Calibrate (I use ColorVision's Spyder http://aps8.com/spyder.html , but any hardware calibration device will be better than calibration by eye).
    2. Set the Working Space to sRGB.
    3. Set the Color Management Policy for RGB to Convert to Working to be sure you are converting content to sRGB. (2 & 3 addressses pfigen's concern about making sure all images are sRGB.)
    4. Make sure your monitor is set to use the ICC profile generated by the calibration device.
    5. Turn off Proof Colors.
    6. Embed profiles or not, but if you do use the sRGB profile. Whether it gets used or not is another story.
    As far as B&W, pfigen suggests Gamma 2.2, which would seem to be right for PC. Mac users might consider Gamma 1.8.
    This should work well for most situations, but guaranteed consistency is an impossible task at this point.

  • Are swatch files color managed?

    I can use Adobe Swatch Exchange to save a set of swatches from my swatches panel and send them to someone else. Does anyone know if this is color managed? If I set up a swatch which is C27 M60 Y100 K11 when working on a project I'm intending to print using GRACol 2006, and then send that file someone else who is working a project that he is going to print using SWOPv2, is the swatch going to get changed to C29 M63 Y100 K17 (which is the recipe for that same color in SWOP)?

    If you export swatches, the swatch numbers get exported unchanged and no profile is included—you can open an .ase file in a text app and see there's no evidence of a profile. So when you import the .ase into another document the original CMYK numbers are preserved no matter what your doc's color settings or assignments are. The preview of the swatches will depend on the destination document's profile assignment.
    and then send that file someone else who is working a project that he is going to print using SWOPv2
    If by file you mean an ID file with swatches (not an .ase swatch file), then the Color Settings Color Management Policy (when the doc was created) effect the document's swatches and colors when it is opened somewhere else.
    If the policy is Off the Working CMYK space is always used—assigned profiles are ignored.
    Preserve Embedded preserves the document's assigned profile and that profile, not the Working CMYK space, manages any CMYK color. Placed files also have their embedded profiles preserved.
    Preserve Numbers (ignore Linked Profiles) preserves the document's embedded profile but ignores any placed file's profile—it effectively assigns the document's profile to all placed CMYK files.
    Convert to Working Space converts native colors and swatches from the doc's assigned profile to the current Working CMYK space and assigns the working space to the document (the numbers change, appearance is preserved). Linked files have their profiles honored.

  • How do I get color management options in PSE9?

    I have been trying to print pictures on an HP printer and when I do they come out fairly red and pink.  When I go under more options under printing and select color management the only option that I have to adjust is print space.  I have a PSE9 book which shows that I should have color highlighting, image space, rendering intent as options but they do not appear.  I have tried many different solutions but nothing has helped, same results.  My file formats are in RAW but I also tried JPEG which ended with the same result.  I was thinking of reinstalling the software but wasn't sure if I would lose all of my files.
    Thanks,

  • Can't access Color Management options for HP 6700 under Mac OS 10.8.5 (Mountain Lion)

    Hello.
    I've got the HP Officejet 6700 Premium e-All-in-One and I can't find any way to access Color Management options.
    The printer is attached (Wi-Fi) to my iMac running Mac OS 10.8.5 (Mountain Lion).
    I want to correct a magenta cast to photographs that I've printed.  I've had the magenta-cast problem under Lightroom and using Preview to print the photographs, so now I want to work with color profiles in Photoshop Elements.
    Photoshop Elements recommends that I "disable color management in the printer preferences dialog".
    However, I'm not able to find color management preferences for the 6700 in any of the settings under Mountain Lion:
    Not under (Apple) > System Preferences > Print & Scan.
    Not under (HP Utility) > Open Embedded Web Server.
    Not under (HP Utility) > Printer Settings.
    Not under Preview's print dialog.
    Nor can I find any clear direction in the online help (at HP or elsewhere) that I've read so far.
    Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
    Thank you!
    Michael

    Please note that in the Print dialog I get "Color Matching" not "Color Management."
    Still, I am (at this point) able to control color from Photoshop Elements, so that's good enough to proceed.
    Thanks again.

  • Reset color management options in LR5

    I have an Epson 9800 that I regularly print from. Today I sourced a new type of media and got very posterized, ugly output using the supplied ICC profile for that media. Now that ugly profile seems "stuck" for my printer in Lightroom. No matter what I print, on whatever media, including media/profile/image combinations I've used successfully before, everything is posterized. I also have an Epson 2200 that is still printing beautifully from the same images, so it's specific to this printer. I was using the soft proofing features for the first time with this new media so perhaps that has something to do with it.
    Would really appreciate any help.

  • EPS: Postscript Color Management option accessible through scripting?

    Hi,
    I have a problem with Photoshop EPS file when the "Postscript color management" option is activated.
    Is there a way to check that this option is activated?? I was not able to find it with ScriptDebugger inspector or even in the user interface.
    The option is read from the document because when you save the document the dialog that appears display the option state with the appropriate status (when in was previously saved).
    I want to do a batch to identify image that have this option set, so it has to be a non-interactive solution!
    I'll continue searching on my own, but any help is appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Eric

    Well...
    The only "productive" way i have found was to build a application that read the document as text and seek in the file for a specific pattern (i had the file with and without the option, the eps was in readable format so i was able to do so).
    I already had a program to go trough all the files, it was just a few lines of code.

  • Why did Adobe get rid of 'No Color Management' option in CS5

    I use this option (in earlier CS verisons) when printing digital negatives on transparency film on my Epson 3880. There are a few work-arounds, including a printer utility from Adobe (which only works on tIff files, so it's limitied).
    But why, oh why did they get rid of this option in the first place. Did someone just decide, gee, I don't think that's a feature we want anymore in our program, so, puff, it's gone? I hate it when program 'updates' make my work harder instead of easier.

    Can you prove this with a supporting document?
    Nope...I was told this by engineers familiar with the initiative...
    Was DYP wrote:
    ACPU and for that matter i1Profiler sends print image data (untagged I assume) through ColorSync and the print driver the exact same way as Lightroom and PSCS5 do when Application Manages Color is selected when printing. The only difference is that LR and PS do not allow you to send untagged image data.
    ACPU does send the untagged data through Colorsync, but the image data gets converted by Colorsync or ACPU to the printer profile chosen in the print driver as set up in the Print window of ACPU...so, since the document is in the final profile space of the printer, the print driver does nothing (null transform). Then you choose don't manage color in the driver. Exactly how ACPU works with Colorsync to avoid having Colorsync to an unwanted color transform isn't clear (would have to ask the engineer that wrote it), ACPU is clearly doing SOMETHING different than Photoshop and Lightroom when sending the image data to the printer.
    You can see what profile gets embedded when printing from ACPU by setting up the driver and saving a PDF and opening in Photoshop. When I printed to PDF from ACPU after setting up the driver to use Epson Glossy paper on an Epson R3000, the embedded profile in the PDF was SPR3000 Premium Glossy. Which if sent to the printer should result in a null transform. This is similar to the CS5 work around to tag an image with a color space and have that same color space set in Photoshop Manages Color and set the Printer Profile color space to be the same thus bypassing the Colorsync "generic RGB" transform. However, that work around no longer works with Photoshop CS6 (we were warned that this might happen BTW).
    I haven't tried it yet, but it's possible that you could still work around this in CS6 if you take an untagged target, assign the printer profile, then use Photoshop Manages Color with the profile being the same printer profile and then in the driver set do not color manage...actually, scratch that–I just tried that and CS6 pops a warning that "No Color Managment is not supported" when trying to print without the proper color management and to get ACPU with a link to download it. I guess Photoshop got pretty serious about disallowing this sort of printing. Heck, you can't even print to PDF.
    On the other hand, the simplest solution for me is to simply print out the target using i1Profiler...

  • HP Deskjet 5100 Stuck on Grayscale - Color Management Options unavailable in printer settings

    Hello!
    My printer is an HP Deskjet 5100 on Mac 10.8.5. It is stuck on grayscale when printing. No matter what program I try to print in I do not get the color management option, even when checking in the advanced options. 
    On photoshop it's also stuck to grayscale.
    I have printed a test page successfully in color. But for some reason no program will print in anything but grayscale. 
    I have tried to update the drivers, but according to the HP website/driver check everything is up to date.
    Other information:
    In printer options, I can't even check my cartridge levels. I receive the following message: Information Not Available
    In ColorSync Utilites, under Devices, it says Printer Mode is: "Gray". When I try to assign a different color profile to it, it doesn't take. 
    I have done a hard reset on the printer. 
    I have removed completely and resynced the printer with the computer again in System Pref/Print & Scan
    Any information would be amazing. I have checked every forum I could find online,

    Hi,
    Your printer is not compatible with Mountain Lion, therefore the Mac use a Generic PCL driver which is Black & White driver only:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01856359&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&product=304431&task...
    You may try a 3rd party driver as HPIJS, it seems to support your printer and will more likely provide you a better results than a generic driver.
    Be sure to install any of the 3 required downloads before adding the print queue:

  • No color management option is not available in photoshop cs5 mac

    Currently have CS5 for Mac; upgraded to Mavericks and now the "no color management option" in the print dialog box is not selectable. Any help with this please advise.

    If we're looking at the same thing that's greyed out (the Color Mode setting for an Epson printer), to make that active you have to first choose Color Matching, which is in the same menu that Printer Settings is on, and then choose Epson Color Controls. But on my Mac, Color Mode is already set to "Off (No Color Management)" even though it's grayed out.
    If it says "Off (No Color Management)" in the printer driver and at the same time Photoshop is set to "Photoshop Manages Colors" and the correct printer profile is selected in Photoshop, you should be fine.
    It's important to note that the only purpose for the Adobe Color Printer Utility is to bypass OS color management in order to print targets for printer profiling, not to print actual images. If you're trying to print an image, you shouldn't be using the Color Print Utility. The utility won't add back a No Color Management option to Photoshop itself, because that option has been permanently removed.

  • Indesign CS5 Color Management Policies

    Hello All,
    I have just been having a look at Indesign CS5 Color Management Policies...
    Can anyone clarify the following for me?
    From my testing it looks like
    1.) When placing an image into an indesign page the embedded icc profile is ignored and the "document profile" is used unless it is manually selected by the user in either (show import options) or (object > Image color Settings). This is despite the fact that the color settings are set to preserve embedded profiles.
    2.) When placing an image into an indesign page greyscale profiles are also ignored and and all mono images are simply lumped into a "greyscale" colour space with no way to assign a particular profile or keep an embedded profile etc. This is despite the fact that the color settings are set to preserve embedded profiles.
    3.) When placing an image into an indesign page there is also no way to manage the color of illustrator files. Embedded profiles are ignored in ai files. This is despite the fact that the color settings are set to preserve embedded profiles.
    looks like a bug to me...
    I am currently running indesign 7.0 on Mac OS 10.6.7

    can you point me to any information on what is managed by the documents policy and what is managed by the application's policy?
    Also, any idea what the reasoning behind having a document policy is? why not just let the application policy determine how to interpret everything?
    Color Settings is a preference—there's no setting that would work for any condition (that includes Emulate Adobe Indesign 2.0 CMS Off).
    The Color Management Policies setting is your global preference for how newly created documents will handle document and link profiles. Having the policy preference set at creation prevents unexpected profile changes as a document is passed from one user to another. The Ask When Opening check boxes give you the option to change existing document policies, which I described in post 7.
    The policies let you control if existing CMYK color is allowed to be converted to a different CMYK space or not.
    If the CMYK policy is set to Off then the newly created doc is not assigned a CMYK profile and all link profiles are ignored. In this case the document colors and the links are all color managed by the current Color Settings CMYK Working Space. The preview of all CMYK color in the document will change depending on current working space, but the output numbers will not.
    Preserve Numbers (Ignore Linked Profiles) assigns the current CMYK Working Space to the new document and any placed links have their profiles ignored—the document profile is used instead. In this case the preview of all CMYK color (including links) comes from the assigned document profile, which travels with the document. After creation changing the Color Settings CMYK Working Space has no effect on the doc, its assigned profile is always used.
    Preserve Embedded Profiles assigns the current CMYK working space to the new document and any placed links have their profiles honored. In this case the assigned doc profile drives the preview of the document color and links with out profiles, while links with embedded profiles are previewed via their profile. If the link's profile conflicts with the document profile, it will be converted to new CMYK numbers on export or print.
    If the policy is Convert to Working Space the document colors are converted to the current CMYK Working Space and that profile is assigned to the document every time the document is opened when the working space conflicts with the assignment. Links are not converted but their profiles are honored.
    Also would changing my color settings to "Emulate Adobe Indesign 2.0 CMS off" be considered to be a change of "application policy" or would this also effect my "document policy"?
    There's never a good reason to use this setting. It would be the same as a CMYK and RGB Off policy except the Working Space profiles are some unknown—you don't have the option of choosing them.

  • Printing with HP B9180 and Photoshop Elements 8 and Color Management

     I've got a bit of confusion about certain settings in the printing process and I've posted a rather long discussion of my 'issues' and confusion.  I hope someone can give me some guidance here.  I've seen a lot of these issues addressed in many places but I can't seem to find an integrated response.  Thanks to anyone who takes the time to read and respond.
    Color Management Questions
    My problems started when I was getting pictures that were too dark from my HP 9180 printer after having gotten very nice prints for a long time.  I had obviously started to do something differently inadvertently.  The only thing I think that is different is that I got a new 23 inch monitor, which does produce much brighter on-screen images.  So, I started to do some research and know just enough about color management to be slightly confused and have some questions that I hope someone can give me some help with.
    Equipment Background
    I use both a Canon 20D and a Canon PowerShot SD600 camera. Both have the default color space as sRGB, although the 20D can be also set as RGB.
    I also use Photoshop Elements 8, where there are a variety of settings possible for printing.
    My monitor is an HP S2331, whose color space is sRGB and cannot be reset to RGB (I think) except for temperature; the default is 6500K.
    My printer is an HP Photosmart Pro B9180 Printer, where there are also a variety of settings possible.
    I’m running XP-Pro.
    Here’s Where I Get Confused
    Everything I have read about color management (various web sites, forums, books, etc) says to have the image, monitor, and printer all in the same color space.
    Everything I read about PSE 8 (same sources) says to set PSE 8 to ‘Always Optimize for Printing’ under Edit>Color Settings in order to get the best prints.  This displays photos based on the Adobe RGB color space. 
    I am taking pictures in sRGB, and telling PSE 8 to process them in RGB by selecting ‘Always Optimize for Printing’.  Is this something I should be concerned about?  Should I reset my camera for RGB?
    Further, by selecting ‘Always Optimize for Printing’, I am setting PSE 8 for RGB while my monitor displays sRGB.  Is this an important issue or is it also much ado about technicalities that an amateur should not worry about?  It does violate the ‘keep them in the same color space’ rule.
    Next, when I go to File>Print and get the Print window and then do the Page Setup and Select Printer, I then go to More Options in the lower left of the window.  Under the More Options window, I select Color management and select Photoshop Elements Manages Colors.  Next, there is Image Space, which is fixed and not subject to selection from a drop down menu. 
    I understand that this is the image space of the image I took with my camera and that information is embedded in the image.  Correct?
    Next, there is Printer Profile.  But, from what I have read, this is where the IEC profile of the paper being printed on is supposed to be selected, isn’t it? 
    Shouldn’t this more appropriately be called Paper Profile, or Printing Media Profile?  Further, this drop down menu appears to be somewhat erratic, sometimes showing all of the paper profiles I believe are loaded, sometimes not. It also shows listings such as Working RGB-Adobe RGB (1988), Adobe RGB 1988, Dot Gain 10%, 15%.... along with a lot of paper profiles.  Aren’t those profiles unnecessary here?
    I’ve used both Relative Colorimetric and Perceptual Rendering and am happy with either one. 
    Next, when I go to Printer Preferences, in order to “…disable color management in the printer preferences dialog”, under the Color Tab, I select Application Managed Colors from the Color management drop down menu, and also have the option of selecting ColorSmart/sRGB and Adobe RGB (1988).  
    Is there any time when I should use either ColorSmart/sRGB or Adobe RGB  (1988)?  If I were staying with my camera’s sRGB setting, given the fact that the monitor is sRGB, would the appropriate selections be ‘Printer Manages Colors’ and ‘ColorSmart/sRGB’?
    Finally, under the Features Tab, I go to look for the same paper I selected under Printer Profile (Question 4 above).  If it is one of the pre-loaded (by HP) profiles, it is there, but if it is a profile I downloaded, say for an Ilford paper, it isn’t listed, and I need to guess at an equivalent type of paper to select.
    Is there any way to get that listing to appear under the Paper Type drop down menu?
    I know that this is a long post, but it helped me to clarify my ‘issues’.  Thank you for any and all suggestions, answers, guidance and help.

    RIK,
    Some printers have long names, esp. HP printers, and PSE gets ":confused." In control panel>devices and printers, right click on the default printer, go to printer properties, and rename the default printer to something short, e.g. "Our Printer." That may fix it..
