Color profile per page?

Hello
Every month I make the layout for a magazine with a glossy cover, and uncoated paper on the inside. Until now, the document was always made entirely in a coated profile color space. The colors on the uncoated paper are printed too dark because of the wrong profile, so I made a curve that photoshop applies to every image that I place. But that's not the perfect workflow I guess...
I don't think it's possible to assign different color profiles per page in Indesign, so I split the cover and the inside of the magazine in two seperate files. But I don't like having seperate files since the inside of the cover counts as regular page, and there is much switching between these pages.
Is there an easier way for having different types of paper in one magazine in Indesign? I tried placing the cover.indd in the document that contains the whole magazine, but Indesign seems to discard the profile of the placed indd and uses the color space of the working document when exporting to pdf. I wish there was a way to tell Indesign some pages have different output profiles.
Any help appreciated.

in Acrobat 9 you can convert colors from profile to another, and there is a page range for choosing which pages will become converted. So if you export your PDF with one ICC-profile, you can convert part of your document to another profile in Acrobat... I don´t know is it wise but it should be possible...

Pages 2 workspace color profile

Hi there,
Does anybody know what color profile Pages uses for its workspace? I like using Pages, but want to ensure the colors are in the US Web Coated color space. In InDesign you can specify the workspace, but Pages doesn't seem to show what color space it is using?
Thanks,

Does this mean that this could be a solution for the people who have had problems with Pages printing grey instead of black? Changing between profiles you can, not surprisingly, end up with non black values for black ... Or am I missing something there?
No, you are not missing something but type is paradoxically one of the problems in ICC imaging. If you want to lay down deviceK by the numbers for your type, then in this implementation you would want to assign the selfsame ICC PRTR Printer profile to your type as you assign as OutputIntent, since the rule is that if input profile equals output profile there should be a null conversion.
One problem with per-object colour spaces is that rendering intent per object is not applicable (PDF defaults to Relative Colorimetric which isn't good) and you will not be able to proof what you are working on (the OutputIntent is not included in the ColorWorld as you work, you only get a match from the source per object to the destination for the display without intermediate colour spaces).
The further idea in a rich black is that you add a second process colourant to the K100% colourant and you render the two process colourants as deviceColour in the PostScript RIP. But as the implementation does not support the PostScript command syntax for this sort of thing I would say you are trying to make the implementation run in directions it was not intended to.
I have a philosophical problem or two to put before you.
In general, if you have a portrait to be printed in the one black colourant on a press and you want to proof that portrait, what do you do when the paper used on the proofer is a different lightness and tint than the paper on the press and the one black colourant on the proofer is also another colour?
How would you teach students and scholars the concept of rubrication? Rubrication is dark red used for letterpress titling in addition to black for the letterpress copy. This is what Peter Breis has in mind (one spot colourant and one process colourant for small offset).
Victor Scholderer, Curator of Early Printed Books in the Library of the British Museum (before it became the British Library) has a small study of the Mainz Psalter in which he shows that rubrication was attempted at the start and then abandoned.
Those two colourants were too complicated for Gutenberg -:).

IBE: Items Per Page for Display profile at Responsibility level

Hi,
we would like to have different number of items per page for different sites. We thought we would achieve it by setting profile "IBE: Items Per Page for Display" at the responsibility level and have unique responsibilities to access different sites.
However, I saw that by default profile "IBE: Items Per Page for Display" is not visible at the responsibility level. Can I alter it to be visible at responsibility level in the profile definition and then set it at the responsibility level?
Kindly help.
Regards
Harsha.

I tried to change at SERV level and still the profile never gets updated. Kindly help.

How do I create a custom sound/vibration profile per app, SMS text, phone, or email contact?

I have a Verizon iPhone 4s recently upgraded to iOS 7. I'm an IT engineer who's on call and started a new job last week with a company that doesn't provide company phones like a blackberry. So now I get tons of company email alerts, text messages, and phone calls both private and for work. I always have my phone switched to vibrate to filter out the noise of generic emails/texts/phone calls, but I also need to be able to configure specific emails sent from our network monitoring servers, text messages from my teammates and alerting devices, as well as phone calls from our internal tech support to be sent with sound. Ideally I also need to be able to configure alert options in an "On-call" profile I can switch on so that I can configure alert repeats and the most annoying noise I can find so I don't sleep through network pages.. But I still want to be able to keep the default vibrate for everyone else and everything else.. How do I create a custom sound/vibration profile per app, SMS text, phone, or email contact? In blackberry's, you can easily create different profiles to switch back/forth and configure each app/text/phone option to either a sound option or vibrate. iPhone seems to be all vibrate or all sound, with little to no options to mix/match the two.. If Apple ever hopes to truly capture the enterprise market blackberry has, this is the most standard and essential feature on blackberries for IT professionals.. If I have to buy a third-party app for this, so be it. But I've been searching for hours and found nothing that creates customized sound/vibrate profiles for iPhone like this (minus jailbreaking your phone, but I shouldn't have to jailbreak a $699 "smartphone" for simple sound/vibrate/alert options like this..).

Yeah Appke wants to be like RIM (Blackberry) who is sinking fast and their devices will be door stops.
http://www.apple.com under support you can ask at their forum or you can call them. However if you call under ios7 support they may help you for free. But if not they will cost you $$$$
As far as I can tell with my iphone what you want to do is not possible. There are sites that tell you how to make different ringtones for the device but your choices to change sounds for email and text/sms messages are controlled unders sounds in the setting menu. Again the manual is on your phone and online if you need assistance changing sounds and ringtones.
Good Luck

Converting RGB to DNG without affecting color profiles

Hi guys
I'm working with the DNG SDK in C++ for some time now. I need to be able to take a raw RGB (not camera raw) and convert it into a dng file. After playing arond with it for a few days, I realized creating the camera profile drastically affects the resulting dng image.
I can't seem to produce a dng file that was identical to the input source. My picture appears very washed out and I end up using the adobe color profiler to try to bring the image back close to it's original color.
I'm trying to find a way to produce dng files without the need to affect the colors in any way, the resulting picture should be bit identical to that of the raw RGB input file.
I'm not even sure if I can do this considering the usage of the dng format.
UPDATE
I've realized that my program is loading the RGB buffer into the fData of the stage3 image object. I have a feeling I need stages1 and 2 but i'm unsure if I need to and if so, then i will probaby need a source DNG to produce those stage1 and stage2 unless I can get stage1 or 2 from stage 3 (appears it works vice versa).
I'm able to do the reverse (DNG to RGB raw) by extracting the buffer from the stage3 render. but in this case, all the metadata has been filled in by the input DNG. However, going from RGB to DNG, I don't have the metadata to fill into stage 1 and 2.

My understanding of the JPG is only middling. I thought I understood that it uses anchor pixels and either a translation table of some sort or difference mapping, using 8 bits per piece of information.
If that were the case, surely changing the translation from CMYK to RGB would be fairly simple.
In this case, the usage is Ebay and they only accept JPG, PNG (and maybe BMP and GIF, I didn't look that closely), but require RGB. I was actually quite surprised to find that JPG allows CMYK since, as you say, anyone dealing with CMYK is going to be dealing with commercial printing and few people who deal with commercial printing would play around with JPG.
I always stick to TIFF or PSD for workflow, but JPG is popular for a reason - when it comes to web, JPG is the only format that can deliver manageable file sizes with full-screen or "large" images for web. Our top level banner photo is 2590x692 and needs to be under 400kb for sane download speeds. PNG couldn't touch that. Even with the aforementioned 1800x1200, PNG is nearly 2mb, while I can maintain very decent quality with a 500kb file with JPG that works well for 'zoom in' type usage.
So there's no way around JPG. It's just annoying that the first person to touch a random selection of the pics was primarily an Illustrator user and saved *some* of the pics in CMYK mode.
It's like that old story about the farmer who didn't want anyone to steal his watermelons, so he cleverly posted a sign "None of these watermelons are poisoned", only to find a note the next day saying "Now, One of these watermelons is...".
Far more work to fix 'some' of the images compared to just doing it right the first time.
But then again, for workers like that, if you can't trust them with an easy job, you could hardly trust them with more complicated jobs...

Acrobat 9 Pro color profiles?

here is my situation:
I create multipage mockups in Illustrator (all of my Adobe software is Creative Suite 5 Design Premium running on Win7 32bit [I wish it was 64, but printers don't like it so.. yeah]) and after creating them , i then save them to a modifed PDF Preset PDF file.
My problem is this: All of my color profiles are synched via Bridge for uniformity. I know this doesn't apply to Acrobat (though it should, and if it does it doesn't say it anywhere that i've found). The original Illy Document has a profile embedded and the colors look and print out just like i need them to. the pdf version however seems to not like that idea and appears to have different profiles for each page. I have made sure that the color profiles are included and no color conversions happen.
Why am i getting this?
I can provide a sample set of files so you can hopefully see what i see if you need them.
I do not know that much about any advanced features of Acrobat, so it may be setting that I'm not aware of or something like that. Color is also not a very high priority (though i really wish it was) in my workflow and thus my understanding of it is also fairly limited. Color theory in college doesn't count i don't think

This may have nothing to do with your problem, but -- at least with Acrobat 8, there is a 100MB limit to the scanned image. Are you trying to scan something larger than that?

How do I get a custom color profile into a PDF?

I have a client who provided a custom color profile for a CMYK file.
I worked on Photoshop CS5.1 images and made sure the profile is embedded.
I placed these Photoshop images into an Illustrator CS5.1 template and made sure the profile is embedded.
I need to create a hires PDF with the Press Quality settings from the Illustrator file.
I have been doing a Save As to PDF from Illustrator, which seems to work.
OK, that's when my troubles start.... When I go into Acrobat Pro X v10.0.0 nothing indicates my profile is there.
I even have the profile loaded into Acrobat.
The client seems to want the Paper Simulation to show their profile, but the profile does not even come up in the list when I look for it. It seems to default to RGB even though this is a CMYK file.
I messed this up once already, and I need to get it right this time.
The client is in Germany and they sound very angry when they don't get the proper files.
Help!

Why can't I include a color profile when exporting to PDF?

I've a basic RGB illustrator file - no embedded or linked images, just flat colors and gradients.
I'm working in sRGB space and this is reported correctly in the info field at the lower left of the editing window.
Some issues:
1. When I look at this file in Bridge it's listed as 'untagged'. However if I re-open it in illustrator it's reported to be sRGB as expected.
What's broken here?
...and of more immediate concern:
2. Despite requesting 'Include All Profiles' on the output page of the PDF save dialog I cannot get a PDF exported that includes the sRGB profile.
Same issues in both CS6 and CC - Windows 7, 64.
Thoughts, comments or suggestions welcomed....
Thanks

Your .pdf is fine, if you open the .pdf in illustrator, adn hten do edit >> assign profile, this radio biutton will bo on what the profile. Also in the bottom left of illustrator you can see what color profile your document is saved with, btuy turning that on.
Hold down option adn you will get other fun easter egg options
Bridge only seems to show profiles for certain bitmapped formats, except .psb format.

PDF files print in reverse order per page

Hi - I am trying to figure out if this is an adobe issue or a printing issue. It is happening only on this user who is on Adobe 9.1 -everyone else is on 7.0 and they aren't having this issue. So maybe it is a combo.
When the user prints a PDF which was a powerpoint file (she did not creat it was sent via email) she selects 2 per page and hten selects doublesided - landscape and collates staples top left hand side.
File prints doublesided and collates, but what would be slide one would be on the bottom of the page and what would be slide 2 would show at the top. On the back of the 1st page slide 3 is at the the bottom and slide 4 is at the top. Staples at the bottom right.
Printer settings seem ok......there is a selection for order and top to bottom is selected. Reverse order is NOT selected.
Are there any settings in Adobe that would cause this? I have googled and though there are some similar questions no one has answered.
specs:
Windows XP Professional SP3
Adobe 9.1 (latest updates)
Canon IR C5185 (multifunction color)
thanks in advance. Robin

Hey,
Please let me know what is your Reader version.
Open Reader and go to Edit->Preferences->Accessibility and deselect 'Replace Document Colors' option.
If this does not help, then try repairing Adobe Reader and then check.
Let me know.

Printing 6 slides per page in Portrait orientation?!

Hello,
I have iWork '08. In the past I always printed 6 keynote slides per page, with the page oriented in portrait orientation. However, now it refuses to do that. Even when I have changed the orientation to portrait in the page setup (under 'File'), it refuses to use that orientation when I print. In the print settings I use individual slides, and then in layout I tell it to print 6 slides on a page. At 1, 4, 9 and 16 slides per page, it does use portrait orientation. At 2 and 6 slides per page it suddenly uses landscape orientation. I have checked and checked again, but the page orientation cannot be changed within the print menu. Only in the page setup under file, which doesn't help at all.
Why does it do this and how do I get rid of it?! I want to print 6 slides on a portrait oriented page!
Thank you.

Hi Azoolkool, I figured it out, so here goes: Under Keynote open your file, make sure your View is set up as Navigator view; this way you can see the mini-sidebar on your left side. On the individual slides highlight the slides you want printed by holding down the shift button and click on for example 7-12.
Now click on File>Print, go to pages and enter in section From: 7 to: 12, Right under this area u should see Keynote drop down bar and on the bottom left area it states: PRINT with some options there, just check off "Individual Slides". To the right of the print section it should state OPTIONS; to keep your slides in color remove the check on "Don't print slide background or object fill". Do check "Add borders around slide" and "Use page Margin".
Under the FROM and TO page area where you put 7 and 12 in - there is a drop down bar that defaults to Keynote, click on this and go to PAGE ATTRIBUTES to change your page orientation to portrait or landscape. Once done proceed to next step and click on PDF on the lower left hand side and enter into "OPEN PDF IN PREVIEW". It should default to the 7th page as full screen along with the sidebar appearing.
Now click on File in the preview menu bar and then PRINT - Now uncheck the AUTO RATE and now check the "SCALE TO FIT" - "FILL ENTIRE PAPER". Then below that where it says images per page , change it from 1 to 6 and notice the print preview with six slides on one page. Now hit PRINT on the lower right hand side...
Hope this helps, I had to learn the hard way today "Trial and Error" as the manual does not state this clearly. Also I'm sure there is a better way but no one has responded yet. Let me know if it works.
Regards

Color profiles for I photo books

Is there a desired color profile to use for printing books with i photo
My images are currently adobe-rgb. jpegs brought in from CS
When I print the images thru CS they look great.
When i print them thru I photo book or the PDF they look very dark and muddy...and would assume the same of the book printing online.
any ideas on how to get the best print.
Is there a color profile availabe from the online book printers or are we just winging it
Also tried converting one page to S-RGB Still Muddy / dark thru i photo book
and PDF Print. And just fine thru CS
Any Ideas??
Thank you

I guess I am going to throw caution to the wind and see what happens.
Only one way to find out, Right
Though I did go back and lighten my images. Also
Ran color synch utility, which fixed 11 corrupt color profiles.(none of the 11 profiles pertained to i photo)
I guess I am afraid to use pref setter,, to set the key embed color profile.
Confused as to what that means??? Does that mean that all my CS Adobe-RGB jpegs will keep their color profile???
Also implanted one image as an SRGB vs the rest which will all be AdobeRGB
Oddly my color management in CS is almost Flawless. Yet, get me out of CS and I am completely lost!!!! Complicated stuff
Toad, I did want to pass on that AdobeRGB 1998 is a much more robust color profile then SRGB especially when it come to printing on Epson. It might be worth experimenting with and if you really want to get into it there is also
Pro photo RGB which is Huge color space, but a beast to work with

Convert Colors profile to threshold to black? [A9]

Is there a reasonable way to create a color profile that can be used with Convert Colors to apply a threshold (180/255) function to convert an RGB PDF into a black-and-white PDF? Acrobat 9 (CS5), OSX 10.6.7.
I have some multipage PDF files I want to "sharpen" (make clearer) before printing, and found that opening a page in Photoshop and applying Image > Adjustment > Threshold to 180 (out of 255) does a nice job. This is a pain for multipage PDFs because I have to extract the pages from Acrobat, apply a batch action in Photoshop, and then (potentially) re-integrate them into a PDF file.
Acrobat can apply ICC profiles to convert an image via Advanced > Print Production > Convert Colors. But how can I generate an ICC profile that does something analagous to the threshold function?
One crummy way is in Photoshop. Edit > Color Settings, which allows you to define a custom CMYK profile. Under Dot gain, you can set transfer function curves for C,M,Y, and K. I tried doing that, with curves at zero up until 70%, at which point I ran them straight up to 100% with a very steep (almost vertical slope).Tried a bunch of GCR/UCR/Black conversion settings. I saved the profile so Acrobat could see it. This gave me weird results:
In Photoshop, it came close to doing what I wanted, but not totally, when I converted the image to that profile. But it wasn't drastically wrong. But when I applied the same profile in acrobat (with Convert Colors), it looked much much worse, with large blocky pixel groups and the document, which was mostly a raster image of text, almost unreadable.
(Sorry for the lack of screenshots/images -- they're at the office, I'll post them tomorrow...)
Any tips? Is there a better way to do what I want and apply a simple transform to a PDF file?
A better tool to create ICC profiles for Acrobat's Convert Colors?
Am I just using the wrong settings in Photoshop?
Thanks!

OK, some more info. So, my PDF contains letter-size pages with 300dpi 8bpp images that are DeviceRGB DCT-encoded (JPEG). Here's how Acrobat displays one of the characters:
(All those obvious JPEG artifacts which explain why it prints badly and would benefit from processing). It looks pretty much the same in Photoshop (via Edit Image from Acrobat, or opening the PDF file directly). Thresholding it to 180 in Photoshop does a great job:
For simplicity, I tried to build a Gray profile that did what I wanted. But it looks like Photoshop's gray profiles only let you adjust dot gain and gamma, and neither of those are sufficient to achieve this kind of effect. RGB doesn't let you use curves. So I converted the image to CMYK, and then Edit > Convert to Profile, then choose CMYK and Custom CMYK and define a profile like this:
with these Curves:
And it seems to do the right thing when the image is converted to it in Photoshop; not perfect but much better than the source:
So, back to Acrobat, and apply the profile with Convert Colors:
basically a disaster. and some very faint jpeg artifacts turn into a big blue rectangle.
So what to do? Is there a better way to construct these profiles? Or should I give up and use batch operations?

B&W image with color profile true B&W?

I have a 10mb B&W visual saved as RGB. It's 10mb which is too large.
I changed it to grayscale and it goes down to 3mb. Still too large.
How else do I change a B&W image with RGB color profile to plain B&W? Or is 3 mb the lowest I'm going to get?
OR how do I just make the file smaller? Changed Resolution from 300 to 72 but stayed at 3 mb.
Thank you.
Dropbox - loading page portrait@2x~ipad.png
Dropbox - b&w.jpg

File size is dominated by pixel data. If you save in a layered file format the file will contain pixels for many layers. Different files formats support different things and compression. 10MB and 3MB would be very large image if the file format is Jpeg. For Jpeg only supports 8 Bit color mode and does not support layers and transparency.
I downloaded your 9+ MB png file and found it hard to believe the file was that large when I opened in Photoshop. So I did a Save As and save it xxxxxx.png it size turned out to be 131KB

Ideas / Recommendations for Workgroup Printer with LOW Cost-per-page?

(Like everyone else), we're printing more color than we anticipated.
Our leasing company charges $0.09 per color page on our Xerox Workcenter 7545 copier.
Color print is primarily used by a small group (6 individuals) who print about 3000 color pages per month. I'm considering a smaller additional network laser just for that group - if a suitable one can be found. (Does not need to be multi-function.)
We'd probably purchase (vs. lease) in this case - but cost-per-page (toner cost) is an important consideration.
Has anyone else done a similar recent study - and been happily surprised by the actual outcome? Or - are your costs lower - but you've been unsatisfied by reliability, etc.?
Thanks in advance!
