Color Management : Rendering Intent Grayed Out

Currently running Lightroom vers 1.3.1. on a MAC mini 1.25 GHz Power PC G4 with Tiger 10.4.11. Not much RAM and not much of a printer. But totally enjoying Lightroom. My point is that prior to upgrading to the latest version of Lightroom I had no issues with Lightroom. None that a new Mac with more RAM and processing power plus a higher end printer couldn't handle much better. But to my point I use to be able to select between Perceptual and Relative in rendering intent. Now I don't have the ability as it has been grayed out after having chosen "Managed by Printer" in Color Management prior to printing. Have I missed checking something in preferences or haven't done correctly?
Thanks

WOW! If the spirit of Christmas lives. I was just going over the Lightroom Tutorial with yourself and Michael Reichmann and listening to the both of you discuss Color Management settings, profiles and render intent. And low and behold who should reply just seconds after I closed the quicktime file and checked to see if I there was a reply to this message! Yikes!
Thanks for the info!
By the way have thoroughly enjoyed the Tutorial!

Desktop Manager - Reconcile Messages Grayed out....

Hi...I'm not able to configure my messages in the Synchronize tab because it is grayed out...any ideas what to do? We've uninstalled and reinstalled the software, upgraded to 4.3 and its still grayed out...why? how can i fix this? My previous blackberry had this function enabled. thanks

Hi XENA0966,
We apologize that you're having continued difficulty finding a resolution to your problem. If you're willing to provide us with some additional information, we are collectively committed to do our very best to determine the root cause of this issue for you.
I'd like to step backward and confirm the options that you chose when you installed the BlackBerry Desktop Manager. Is it correct to state that you chose to install as a user of 'BlackBerry Internet Service'? Are you familiar with how you installed the BlackBerry Desktop Manager for your previous BlackBerry? Perhaps we can harvest some relevant information by investigating the installation of the software itself, as well as the options that were configured.
Can you also confirm that with the BlackBerry Desktop Manager opened to the default screen, you see 'Server Status: Online' in the bottom left-hand corner? Additionally, are you able to access other resources on your network when you are experiencing this problem? Do you know if you're working offline when this occurs? This question may be important because the option for reconciling messages (discounting certain configuration options chosen during the installation of BlackBerry Desktop Manager) requires connectivity to your mail system. If no such connectivity is available, the software disables the ability to configure that option.
It seems as though there is one problem here but that it may be exposing itself through multiple symptoms. If you're a BlackBerry Internet Service user, there are certain things that you should be able to do from the BlackBerry (such as enabling message reconciliation) and things that you will not be able to do. There are also things that you will be able to do in the BlackBerry Desktop Manager and things that you will not be able to do, depending on this. The software on the desktop and on the device are designed to behave in a manner that suits the user type and back-end mail system. If we can clear some of the symptoms, through confirming your installation behavior and the settings on your BlackBerry, I expect that we can isolate the true problem.
We look forward helping you.

Manage Cache option grayed out in online RPD

Ran into a problem today, trying to perform manual caching but cache option is grayed out when ascessing manage cache option, this is happening even though i have enabled the cache option in the NQSConfig file as follows
ENABLE=YES
YET IT IS GRAYED OUT WHEN I DO FILE -OPEN-MANAGE-CACHE, HAVE ALSO TRIED BOUNCING THE BI SERVER BUT NO LUCK.
ANY HELP WILL BE APPRECIATED.
Thanks in advance
LARRY

What version of OBIEE are you using? Assuming you are using 11g, providing a solution to enable cache in RPD.
1) Go to enterprise Manager.
2) Navigate to Business Intelligence > Core Application
3) Click on capacity Management tab > Performance
4) Lock and edit > Make sure cache enabled option is checked. ( This will add an entry to your NQSConfig file.
Hope this answers your question.

So far I have uninstalled prior installation of flash player. When I visit get adobe flash player sight with ie 11 whole sight box is grayed out. so I tried to download the flash player for ie 11 with chrome and firefox. In both cases after running .exe file downloaded and saved on pc the flashplayer installation manger comes up for permissions. but after clicking run, it is grayed out and nothing further happens. I will appreciate any help in getting this installed.
I have other laptop with Windows 7 professional and ie 11. there is no problem on playing videos in ie11 in this laptop. so why do I have problem in this pc? Only difference is here I have Windows 7 Home premium. Java version 32 and 64 bit are installed and enabled.

How to Enable Color Management? (DV Compression Is Lightening Gamma)

This problem has plagued me with both After Effects and Premiere. I have a project with a number of .mpeg video files (I know MPEG is a bad file choice, but it's not causing the problem--I tested this with uncompressed media also). In AE, I have a darkly lit scene with gamma turned down to produce pure blacks in the shadowy areas. When I render as DV, Windows Media, or QuickTime and play the resulting file in Windows Media Player or Media Player Classic, the file has rather ugly dark grays where pure blacks should be. I read the article on color management and thought I had found the problem, but the "Use Display Color Management" option is grayed out and I've been unable to re-enable it.
Also, I don't know if this is of any major value, but the DV and Windows Media file versions look the same in Windows Media Player as they do in Media Player Classic. QuickTime files look slightly better in Classic than in the default QT player. This issue is especially confusing since the article only acknowledged that this can happen with QuickTime, whereas I'm having this problem with all formats except uncompressed. Thanks!

> How do I enable display color management?
Have you enabled color management for the project (i.e., selected a working color space for the project)? If not, please read
"Choose a working color space and enable color management" for an explanation of how to enable color management for a project.
"Enable or disable display color management" contains information on managing colors using your monitor's color profile.
You said that you read "the article on color management", by which I presume that you mean the "Color Management Workflow" white paper on the Adobe Design Center website. That paper links to the
"Color management" section of After Effects CS3 Help on the Web and presumes that you'll consult that document for some of the basic underlying concepts and detailed procedures.
> And I guess it's a redundant question, but are the answers to this issue the same for Premiere as for AE?
Premiere Pro does not do color management.

Lightroom print mode and Color mode grayed out

Both print mode and color mode selections are grayed out not allowing me to select them. Help

I see you haven't gotten much input so far from the Mac experts...
As a Windows user without an Epson printer myself, I can't comment on why you might have color problems under the covers where the software doesn't seem to be following the chosen settings. However, perhaps I can get you thinking about how to further diagnose the problem...
The obvious thing I see is that you've chosen "Photoshop Manages Colors" in the main dialog, which implies your intent is to shut off color-management in the printer driver itself. So to me the graying out of those settings in this case seems to make sense.
Have you tried a test print using the "Printer Manages Colors" setting?
Also, to try to test whether color-management isn't being turned off in the printer (regardless of what the grayed-out settings show), do you see any improvement if you use "Photoshop Manages Colors" but choose a standard profile, such as sRGB IEC61966-2.1 for the Printer Profile setting?

Color Management Custom Profiles - None available (Vista)

I get bad color in my prints from LR. My printer supports Adobe RGB, and hence I believe it would fix the problem is I could get LR to convert the image to Adobe RGB before printing. Under Color Management, I click on "Managed by Printer" to get a popup menu that has both "Managed by Printer" (checked) and "Other" as options. I select "Other" and a window appears with the title "Choose Profiles" and the text "Choose profiles to appear in Custom Profile popup:" The problem is that the window is empty. There are no choices! I have checked and I have the ICC files installed in Windows\System32\spool\drivers\color and they are associated with my printer by windows. I copied and add icm versions of the icc files. Still no profiles appear.
Does this work for others? Can anyone get any options to show up?
Thanks for any help or advice.
Davy

AdobeRGB and sRGB are NOT printer profiles, they are color spaces and you should not be able to select them in Lightroom. You need actual printer profiles if you want to print application managed from lightroom. Almost every reasonably modern printer includes them. It looks like this printer does not include them in a way so that you can use them. On most printers, you can still print printer managed, but it appears that this printer is not correctly color managed. I checked out the manual for it and it clearly is not color managed at all. Typical for HP's consumer line unfortunately. Apart from having a profile generated by any of the places that do that for you (which is about as expensive as an ink cartridge), I don't think you can print to this thing from Lightroom at all. In this case, really the printer manufacturer is to blame. They should have been doing ICC/ICM color management ages ago instead of relying on all applications to be dumb. It still stinks though.

Rendering intent for color conversions

As I understand it, when I make a new CMYK swatch in InDesign and type my recipe in, Adobe converts it to LAB and that is the number that is used behind the scenes to convert to RGB or to different CMYK profiles. Curiosity question: does the software reference the ICC profile that is set as the working space in order to make that initial CMYK to LAB conversion? Also, is it known if the software preserves and uses the numbers to the right of the decimal points for CMYK and LAB values, or does it all get rounded off? And finally, going far into the weeds: is it known what rendering intent is used?

Starting with last question first, the rendering intent is what you choose in Photoshop > Edit > Color Settings. At the top of the dialog box there in Photoshop are your choices for what color model your CMYK and RGB should be expressed in. These become the working color spaces for CMYK and for RGB. Working spaces imply that whatever picture you open and edit in Photoshop, it takes on this ICC profile of color model. Having a same choice from Photoshop for ICC color model means consistency in interpreting color, file after file. Near the bottom of the expanded Color Settings dialog box is the Rendering Intent, which is usually set to Relative Colorimetric.
What is Rendering Intent? ACE is the translator. His job is to translate visual color from one math number world to another math number world, with the intention of holding the visual color the same. When he translates numbers (representing colors) from one color space to another, inevitably some color will be lost in translation. Rendering Intent is a conscious decision for how to compromise colors that might be outside the gamut of the receiving color space. Bear in mind that many pictures, some color lost in translation is so slight so as to be scarcely perceptible.
Make your house rules choices here in Photoshop. Save as named .csf file. Then, in Bridge, click on Edit > Creative Suite color settings. Choose to apply this new custom-named house rules for your color workflow. In applying it, Bridge sends out instructions to Illustrator, InDesign, and Acrobat to follow the lead of Photoshop in adopting the same "house rules" for translating color.
If the Photoshop file being placed into InDesign already has the house-rules color space profile, it passes straight into InDesign without being re-interpreted/re-translated. (Like having a Smart Tag that allows you to drive through the toll-booth of the interstate. Like having a passport and express check-in at the airport. No need to re-examine you; you are already cleared. These are illustrations, by the way!)
Yes (your second question), ACE, in a behind-the-scenes support operation, checks all ICC color profile "passports" to see whether you need translating prior to entry, or merely waved through into InDesign. If the picture file already has the same working space as defined in Photoshop, it is allowed in unchanged. If the picture file doesn't have the same house color space, it is translated to the working color space, and allowed in afterwards. You might liken it to being issued a temporary passport. Do numbers get rounded off? Yes and no. Visual colors that exist in both color realms can be translated with great precision. Visual colors outside of the gamut of the receiving color space will change a bit, which is to say their numbers also change a bit.
As to your first question, is LAB at the center of things? Yes, in Photoshop. Lab color mode is the closest thing to a number system that consistently matches human visual color perception. Photoshop natively thinks in Lab, and translates out to all other color models, especially RGB and CMYK. Make sure to always run your pictures through Photoshop first (I like it's color management policies to force a permanent change to the house color space by choosing Conver to Working RGB/CMYK). After that, you place them into InDesign. In this way, all pictures already have a SpeedPass, so to speak, and InDesign does not re-translate the color. InDesign does not handle the Lab numbers, but is rather given the resulting conversion numbers by the translator, ACE, (if it needs to) working behind the suite of four softwares.
You might enjoy reading the book: Real World Color Management by Fraser, Murphy, and Bunting, and really geek out on this sort of thing.
Hope this helps,

Color settings grayed out in Print Settings

Photoshop CS5 v12.1.
Mac OS 10.6.
I'm printing to an Epson R1800 printer.
Print. Choose Color Management. Choose Document. Choose "Photoshop manages color". Choose the correct printer profile that matches the paper I'm using. Choose Relative Colorimetric.
THEN, I click Print Settings...under the 4th drop downu I choose "Print setting..." again. Under "Basic" "color" and "Color settings" are grayed out as are some of the "Media Type" options.
Is this normal? The problem is my black and white prints are printing really badly. They have color tones. I've cleaned the nozzles on my Epson printer, done everything the print utility suggests. All the test prints look fine.
I'm at a loss. Am I missing something obvious?

I see you haven't gotten much input so far from the Mac experts...
As a Windows user without an Epson printer myself, I can't comment on why you might have color problems under the covers where the software doesn't seem to be following the chosen settings. However, perhaps I can get you thinking about how to further diagnose the problem...

Acrobat DC: Ink Manager no longer works, as well as Convert Colors to Output intent?

I often have to flatten CMYK+spot PDFs to CMYK only. I normally open the file, click the ink manager, check "Convert all spots to process" and click OK. That takes care of it.
In the latest update, that no longer seems to do anything at all. If I preflight the file after following the old process, the file still shows spot color errors. In order to convert the spot colors I now have to:
1.) Open the file
2.) Open the convert dialog
3.) Click Ink manager in that dialog,
4.) Check "Convert all spots to process"
5.) Click OK in the Convert Colors dialog.
I realize that isn't a lot of work, but over a lot of files it adds up. Plus it should just work as it used to.
Finally, prior to the last two versions of Acrobat, I was able to open the convert colors dialog, check off "Covert Colors to Output Intent" and click OK to convert all spot colors in a file to CMYK. That option appears to be perpetually grayed out.

Hey SeanL_EPS,
Thank you so much for your valuable feedback. I really appreciate that.
Using Acrobat DC, what happens if you simply type 'Ink Manager' in Search Tools text box on the right hand side and check 'Convert all Spots to Process'.
Also, the option to select an 'Output Intent' from Convert Colors requires the PDF document to already have an Output Intent explicitly set.
You might need to first run the Preflight tool which will explicitly set the Output Intent.
You can also refer the following KB file link from here:
Refer: Acrobat Help | Color conversion and ink management (Acrobat Pro DC)
Let me know if you have further queries.
Regards,
Anubha

PROBLEM SOLVED!
I went to my device manager on my Windows 7 PC and found the Bonjour service in my Services and Applications section. I set it to manual and BANG iTunes started working like it's supposed to.
Unfortunately, I let my IPad get stolen on 17 Jan so I'll probably wait until after April to replace it with an IPAD 2!

Grayed out songs on iTunes despite "Manage music and videos manually" being checked.

I had to restore my iPod, and when I synced it after the restore, the songs were gone on my iPod like it is supposed to be, but on iTunes they are still there but grayed out. I have already done the "manage music and videos manually" thing, I delete all of the grayed out songs and try to add the songs from my library back to my iPod, but they are still grayed out. Please help if you can, I would greatly appreciate it.

I don't use manually manage so I'm at a loss as to why anyone would.
However, if I was Syncing my iPod to iTunes, then the picture you have posted would be just like that while iTunes was busy putting my music back onto my iPod. That's what the little double-arrow icon means; it's a list of files that you have asked to be put on the iPod (in my case, by Syncing the ticked items in my Library and in yours - apparently, by manually dragging them from the library to the iPod).
As each file is successfully added to the iPod, the progress arrows icon disappears and the song (file) name is no longer greyed out.

GPU acceleration is grayed out in Premiere and AE, but not in Media Encoder. However, rendering is slow in all 3 programs.

It worked fine in CS6.
Now, everytime I open a project (Pr or Ae) I get the message: This project was last used with GPU Accelerated rendering. This happens with all projects, even with those that I created in Pr/Ae CC, with GPU Accelerated rendering already disabled.
In Media Encoder, the GPU Acceleration is not grayed out, but still if I render a premiere sequence or an ae comp via ME, its very very slow. (takes 5 hours for a video that took 20 mins in CS6)
Any thoughts?
Thanks, Daniel

I think I found the problem. On the website you linked, it says:
The following notebooks are not compatible with this tool:
Notebooks equipped with switchable graphics
Toshiba® notebooks
Sony® VAIO® notebooks
Panasonic® notebooks
And I have a Sony VAIO.
When searching for drivers, I only found sites like these: AMD Radeon HD 7650M drivers
Are these legit?
