Color Profile Question

I recently purchased a new PC and have been working from it for about a month or so without any issues. My client sent me an email saying that her images were appearing muted on her computer screen prior to printing them off of a few common photo labs. I looked into it and tried it myself and it was indeed correct. All of the images edited on my new PC were muted...my first instinct was that it was the color profile. I converted the image to sRGB and it fixed the problem. Now comes the problem....my photos are saving under the wrong color profile. How do I prevent this from happening so that all my images are automatically saved the my preference of color profile. I hope this makes sense because my mind is spinning from trying to figure this out! Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the info : I'll start with the 4th question because it's the less known factor with Elements
If you shoot raw, the settings of your camera (Adobe RGB) will be ignored. This setting works only with the out of camera jpegs. A 'raw' file has no color profile, so PSE needs to know which profile you want for the conversion. You won't find any menu or dialog entries in ACR for that purpose. So, to convert the file when you 'Open' in the editor, PSE looks at the settings in your editor (my question #2, Menu Edit/Color settings...
If you have chosen option 1, 'Always optimize for computer screens', PSE will convert the raw file to sRGB profile.
If you have chosen 'Always optimize for printing', PSE will convert to aRGB...
If you want to take advantage of the slightly wider color space of Adobe RGB because your home printer can use it, select the second option, but if you have to send the picture in sRGB, do not forget to convert before sending. Menu /image/convert color profile.
If you don't want to bother, use sRGB with the option 1. You won't risk forgetting to convert the client version.
Never use 'No color management' in the menu /edit/color settings
If you first convert to sRGB with option 1, you won't get any advantage to convert to aRGB afterwards

  • Odd color shift and OS color profile question

    I've run into something that leads me to believe that the OS X color profile management has caused me a problem. I'd like to figure out how to tell the OS to not manage color profiles in order to avoid future problems. So far this is only an issue when dealing with CMYK images.
    A little background...
    I received a JPEG image from a photographer. Converted it to CMYK and made minor edits in Photoshop, not touching the color profiles or trying to color correct. I saved a JPEG of the edited image, and imported it into Freehand 10. When imported, the entire image shifted slightly pink. When viewed in Preview or Photoshop it looked fine. It was only when I imported it that it shifted.
    A friend suggested this might have something to with color profiles, so I fiddled around with both PS and FH to make sure they were using the same ones. Even when they were the image shifted pink. This was on my desktop machine, recently upgraded to Tiger.
    I noticed my PowerBook was still running Panther. I took the same image, same data file, same programs and when I imported the image again, it was fine. Looked just like it did in PhotoShop and Preview. I immediately saved out a PDF for posterity and press use.
    Given the above, the only real variable is the version of the OS. This leads me to believe that there's something about how Tiger handles color profiles on the OS level that's causing this shift. What I don't know is how to remove the OS' meddling to remove it from the workflow.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance...

  • Display iMac Late 2009 color profile questions:

    My friend dropped his mid 2010 iMac 21.5 inch desktop computer over for me update to Yosemite because I have a very fast connection.
    I have a late 2009 iMac 21.5 inch.
    When side by side, I noticed that my display is quite dim compared to his. Also, the "white" seems dull and grey/yellow. ( I shot this photo with my iPod Touch of the displays side by side.)
    Both displays are set at the highest brightness.
    I took note of the color profiles of each.
    My question is this: Can I make my display look somewhat brighter? Or is it different because of something else? His iMac is so much brighter. I'd like to brighten things up on mine if possible.
    Below, please click the image- on the left is the 2010 iMac, on the right, the 2009.
    the 2010 iMac says 21.5 inch (1920x1080) ATI Radeon HD 4670
    the 2009 iMac says 21.5 inch (1920x1080) NVIDIA GeForce 9400
    Something tells me that I can't calibrate it to look like that, but, I figured I'd toss the question out there. I had no idea how yellow/grey my display looked until today.

    A notable peculiarity of Thunderbolt is that it uses exactly the same connector as Mini Display Port, and that's not all. The Thunderbolt connector also carries Mini Display Port video signals. That means you can plug a Mini Display Port video cable/adapter in to a Thunderbolt connector and your monitor will work.
    If you plan to do other things with your Thunderbolt connector and don't want it wasted on a monitor, you can also choose an HDMI --> DVI adapter, which for your purposes will be functionally equivalent.
    You can even use both at the same time.

  • Macbook Color Profile Question

    I just bought a Macbook from my cousin yesterday. It's in great shape and not very old, which is why I bought it. It's amazing how addictive it is, I've been PC person forever.
    I immediately brought it home and installed all my programs, set a desktop photo, and opened photoshop. The coloring on my photos is off. I've tried using Supercal, and calibrating using the tool in the profiles, but I can't figure this out for anything. Being new to MAC, I'm just confused---
    I use Firefox for my browser. The colors are perfect in it. When I change my profile and get it to somewhat make my photos look right (or like they did in my PC. All the photos seem to have like an orangey-yellowish look to them, not majorly, but editing photos isn't going to work with it like that.), then I open Firefox and my coloring is completely off on websites.
    Does anyone have any suggestions? I would greatly appreciate it.
    Thanks in advance!

    in short, photos can contain their own ICC (color profile). And this effects how color look on a per photo basis. instead of modifying your display color profile you need to a just or change just color profile of the photo(s) to have them render properly.
    One way to tell what color profile need to be altered is to get info on that photo. you can do this in the finder, preview, photoshop. you can also use these applications to change witch ICC is used on a photo.
    these apps use ICC color profiles : safari, quick time, preview, finder, quick look, photoshop
    firefox dose not use the ICC color profiles attached to photos, but you can tell it to in firefox preferences. when ICC color profiles is off in firefox it's going to use the default color calibration in system preferences display
    this website dose a great, but confusing job of comparing different ICC profiles. http://www.gballard.net/psd/golive_pageprofile/embeddedJPEGprofiles.html
    if you want to become an expert in color management you may want to check out: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3712 . it also talks about how you can use preview to change what ICC is used with a photo.

  • Color profile questions

    1. When do you need to embed a color profile for a file that you intend to sent to a printer vs. just soft proofing?
    2. How do you get more profiles if needed?
    Thanks.

    Select the correct document profile when creating a new file. This creates an RGB resp a CMYK file.
    You can also change it later via File > Document color mode > RGB / CMYK
    You can assing a profile via Edit > Attach color profile.
    In most cases you wouldn't want ICC colormanagement to convert your vector file, because that way you'll never get your RGB 000 to become a clean 100 K for your thin lines or small type.

  • Basic Color Profiles Question (using PNG's)

    Hi,
    I've read up on color profiles, and I must admit, it all seems a bit complicated to me.
    I've tried saving images with sRGB color profile, Adobe RGB, and even NO color profile.
    While each test has yielded various saturation levels (sRGB seems more saturated than Adobe RGB), the one single constant in all of them is that IE displays more (too?) colorful images than FF.
    I understand that IE doesn't color manage while FF does, but that hardly explains the results I'm getting. If I don't color manage a document, shouldn't it display the same way in IE and FF? And how to explain that the sRGB profile documents are more saturated in IE than the Adobe RGB ones, if IE cannot read color profiles? And why does FF display *both* sRGB and Adobe RGB as less saturated than these same images in IE?
    Thanks.

    Actually, Photoshop DOES embed a profile in a PNG if you use Save As, not Save for Web.  Go figure.
    [ admin - it was an oversight, that some bored engineer undoubtedly has addressed by now ]
    Microsoft shows no sign of interest in advancing the state of the art of computing, and I mean that in the most serious, somber way.  There's no evidence that Internet Explorer will ever take into account a monitor profile.
    And no, there's no way to make Firefox and IE match on anything but an sRGB monitor.  Sorry.  This is one reason why I have set up an sRGB reference system myself.

  • Color Profile Setting question

    Hi! I am new to the forum and have a strange question. I shoot with a Canon 40 in Adobe rgb color space. I import all the images into lightroom and sometimes I edit in PS (CS4). When I choose "edit in PS4" from lightroom, the color profile is Pro Photo and not adobe RGB.
    My question is: can I set up PS to automatically convert any profile to Adobe RGB? I thought I did in edit/color spaces but tried it and it's back to pro photo colorspace again.
    Help?

    Check your Color Settings in Photoshop and select "Ask when opening" in your RGB settings.  It could be that ProPhoto RGB is setup as your Photoshop RGB workspace, but I think you can change it to Adobe RGB there.  You might also be able to set it in Bridge as your default RGB colorspace.  I like the option of using "Ask when opening" in case I want to use ProPhoto on certain types of files and Adobe RGB on others.

  • Exported Jpgs - Questions with regards to color profiles and web browsers

    I along with others have noted the fact that it's not possible to instruct apertrue to save images without a profile. Up until recently I've been saving my images with the sRGB profile. I noted (as has been posted about elsewhere on the forums) that safari displays the image one way, and Firefox another. As others have noted, this is due to Safari being a color managed browser, and Firefox not being color managed.
    However, when I save a jpg out of photoshop with NO color profile applied the image looks identical in both browsers.
    I'm considering not using profiles as all if saving an image with an sRGB colorspace profile allows me to change the behavior so that Safari matches Firefox. I would love to go the other way (to do something magical to effect the way that images appear in Firefox) but that doesn't seem to be an options here.
    So, after all that, my questions are:
    1.) What is it specifically about not applying a profile, that makes Safari render images identically to FireFox (in other words, what's going on?)
    2.) Is there any way to apply NO profile to an exported Aperture Raw image...not the camera profile, not sRGB...NOTHING.
    I would guess a good runner up would be to use Automator to strip out the profile. But before I go making changes to my workflow, I'd really like to know why exactly this seems to work.

    This doesn't produce the same effect as in Photoshop.
    Photoshop has the ability to 'convert to profile'– to actually change the colors in an image so that even in a profile isn't embedded, the colors have been changed. If you choose to, you can also have Photoshop embed the profile as well.
    Aperture on the other hand, -seems- to only have the ability to attach a profile to an image. In other words, it relys on color aware apps to interpret the image using the attached profile. (I can't seem to find a way to 'convert' to a profile in Aperture, in the same way I can in Photoshop– doesn't mean one doesn't exist, I just can't seem to find it)

  • Reduce bit depth or convert color profile first? (best practices question)

    For making final deliverable files from working files, is it best to convert to a new color profile before reducing bit depth? Or vise versa?
    Our working files are 16 bit with the ProPhoto color space. Our deliverable files are 8 bit AdobeRGB tiffs and sRGB jpegs. We convert using relative colorimetric with black point compensation. Does it make a difference which order these changes are made in?
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    A profile conversion recalculates RGB values, so yes, it should be done in 16 bit depth.

  • A general question about JPGs, color profiles and the web.

    (Didn't get much help in the PS forum, so I'm gonna try this here.)
    I save a website background image  in Photoshop with its color profile (in this instance, Adobe RGB 1998).
    When I view the image in IE  (latest), it looks the same as it did in PS.
    When I view it in Firefox  (latest), it comes out darker.
    I'm guessing this has something to do with  one of the two browsers taking the color profile into account, and the  other not.
    What  is everyone's solution to this problem? Should I not be including color  profiles with my JPGs? And if that isn't the problem (ie, I should keep  doing it), which is the color profile I should be using in RGB?
    I keep  hopping between Adobe RGB (1998) and sRGB 2.1 and can't decide which one  to adopt once and for all.
    Thanks.

    You are correct. The colors differ from IE to FF because FF and Safari use the color profiles found in your images.
    You might like the discussion found on Usability Post: http://www.usabilitypost.com/2008/07/30/photoshop-color-profiles-for-web-images/
    I've been using sRGB 2.1 for a few years and have had no major issues with it.

  • Correct Color Profile in Keynote '09 (or '08)

    I have been tasked with putting together a photography presentation for six photographers. The presentation will be projected (with two Epson projectors and six color monitors) in Keynote ’09 (and ’08) for a one-night photographer’s gallery exhibit. One of the concerns raised by one of the photographers who has used Keynote (not sure the version, but probably ’08 or earlier) is that there is a "*color shift*" that occurs from the original saved image. All images are exported from (Apple) Aperture, (Adobe) Lightroom, and (Adobe) PhotoShop CS3-CS5 using the Adobe RGB 1998 Color Profile.
    All photographers (including myself) are working with Aperture, Lightroom, or PhotoShop and are saving their final images with the Adobe RGB (1998) ICC color profile.
    Is there a way to ensure “correct” color profiles are used in Keynote ’09 (and ’08)? If so, how is this done?
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Welcome to the discussions, anthonysan.
    There isn't a way within the program to do it, however it IS possible I think. I'll give you some tips to start down that path, and, if you have any questions, just post back here.
    First, go to Keynote preferences and, under General Preferences, choose "Save new documents as packages". Next, create a new document (white theme), change the Master to blank, and place three rectangles on the first slide, each with an EASY to define color. (By "easy to define" I mean pick colors that you would be able to discern numerically, for example 100% red, 100% black, 100% green, etc.) Finally, double click inside each shape and add some unique text. I'm using "firstone", "secondone", "thirdone".
    Now, save that document, then right-click (two-finger-click, control-click) on it's icon in the Finder. You should see an option to Show Package Contents. Select that and you should then see a few folders and some files. You're looking for index.apxl.zip. Double click that one to unzip it, then put the .zipped version in the trash (Keynote can read either just as well). Now, you should have an index.apxl file.
    When you double-click the index.apxl file, you'll have to choose to open it with TextEdit, then search for your unique text "firstone".
    Things get more detailed from this point, but it does lead to a potential solution. Let me know if you're following so far, and we can look at the mysteries within they Keynote file

  • IPhoto fix that worked for me (Coregraphics & Adobe Color Profiles issues)

    Ok, I posted a few days back in reference to getting help with my iPhoto. I do apologize on the fact this is quite the long post but maybe it will be easy to understand for those who are like me and not all that computer literate. I searched all the discussions and used all the different advice from different people but had no luck. I was able to FINALLY get iPhoto up and running again last night after doing just a few simple things. Please note that this may not work for everyone. Also please note that I AM NOT an expert in dealing with computers and working with computers. It's just that my ADD kicks in when something needs fixing and I won't stop till its finished. Below are a few lines from the crash report that I was getting each time I attempted to open iPhoto from my Macbook Pro Late 2011 running 10.8.3.

    -Run and attempt to repair any Color Profiles that may need to be fixed. There were 4 that could not be fixed for me. Locate these profiles and move them to your desktop (Note: I was still able to open and use all applications in my Adobe CS6 Master Collection after moving these profiles but you may want to check just to be sure if you are using Adobe).
    -Even though I had done this many times, run the Disk Utility App in your Utilities Profile and Verify and Repair any permission needed (For me, I had none at this time that needed to be repaired).
    -Next, I did an Apple Hardware Test. For me and the model Macbook Pro I am using, I had to restart my computer and when the screen went black for me at restart about the time the start up sound is about to come on, I pressed ALT-D. On some models you just have to press D. I did disconnect everything prior to doing this except the power cord and the Internet. I did a full AHT test that took about an hour or so. If you get an error code, be sure and right it down whereas your issue may be something different than mine and this will not apply to you. There were no problems from the test and then restarted the computer.
    -At restart I decided to get into the OS X Recovery by pressing Command-R to either start from scratch or find some other way to fix the issue because I was tired of racking my brain on this and was about to throw the computer in to the wall.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718 For help or questions on the OS X Recovery Process
    -Once in the OS X Recovery from the Mac OS X Utilities Pane, I selected reinstall and then I selected my current Hard Drive. Luckily by doing this (not that I was aware or anything, but none of my files or folders were deleted and it only reinstalled Mountain Lion and whatever else it needed)
    -This process took about an hour and once finished, I restarted my computer
    -I logged back in to my account but did not attempt iPhoto at this time. Instead I immediately checked to make sure that 10.8.3 was what was reinstalled back on my Mac. I then checked for Software Updates which I had a few and installed these updates.
    -I then went back to the Disk Utilities App from my Utilities folder and Verified the Disk and Disk Permission. To my surprise, many of the files that were in the iPhoto crash thread (posted above) were now showing up as needing to be repaired. I repaired what needed to be repaired.
    -I verified all my Color Profiles to make sure none were showing up again (which there were none that needed to be repaired)
    -I did a check check of some Adobe CS6 Apps just to verify they were opening and working correctly
    -I restarted my Mac (Once again) and logged back in. I opened up iPhoto and everything worked and is working PERFECTLY. I then re-connected my printers and my Time Machine and performed a back up before importing photos back in to iPhoto. I DO WISH NOW THOUGH THAT I HADN'T DELETED AND RE-INSTALLED IPHOTO but it is nice being able to start over and organize iPhoto a little better than before.
    I am sorry this is such a long post but for people like me who are not professionals in the computer department, sometimes it's good to "dumb" things done so that us "average joes" can understand a little better. Hopefully this will work for those who are having issues like mine. Thanks for all the help from everyone from my previous posts.

    Tom:
    To help prevent loss like you experienced see the tip at the end of my signature.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Embedded Color Profile is Lost When Content is Published to Web or Dragging Image Window on Desktop

    Hello, Everyone.  I have a question that I have struggled to crack on my own to no avail.  I hope someone here can help.
    I am trying to publish some images to the web using color corrected monitors, RAW format, and a color checker passport to create a perfeect color profile.  Here are the technical details and my workflow.
    Camera: Canon Rebel EOS Xsi
    Format: RAW + L
    Color Space: sRGB
    Color Checker: X-Rite ColorChecker Passport
    Monitor Calibrator: Spyder4 Pro, fully updated software
    Computer: Lenovo T420 ThinkPad
    Second monitor: Samsung LED SyncMaster SA350 (NVIDIA)
    Photoshop: v12.1 x64 (CS5.5)
    Photoshop Color Settings: Custom North America Web/Internet
    RGB: sRGB IEC61966-2.1
    CMYK: U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2
    Gray: Gray GAmma 2.2
    Spot: Dot Grain 20%
    Policies
    RGB: Preserve Embedded Profiles
    CMYK: Preserve Embedded Profiles
    Gray: Preserve Embedded Profiles
    After importing the image into Photoshop, I make sure the RAW space is set to sRGB IEC6 1966-2.1
    Use the eyedropper to select a neutral color one step away from pure white on the RAW image of the color checker, create and set the custom white balance.
    set the white balance
    Export the image as a DNG
    Load the DNG into the X-Rite ColorChecker Passport software to create a color profile
    Back to Photoshop
    Open the RAW file
    Set the white balance to the custom profile created above
    Set the color profile created with X-Rite
    Open the color-corrected image in Photoshop (see color setting above)
    Save as JPEG
    Publish
    First, everything seems to go great throughout this entire process, until I see the image on the Web: LINK.  Once published, the image has a very noticible golden-yellow tint to it.  The color-corrected image looks great on both color-calibrated monitors, in RAW and JPEG.  Absolutely perfect.  After noticing the ugly yellow tint in the image I posted to the Web, however, I became aware of a couple more weird things.
    1) When the JPEG was open in Photoshop and I moved the window that contained the image around on my second monitor, the image immediately took on that golden-yellow tint: you can see a screen shot of the color corrected image on my Samsung (bottom) and the yellow version of the same image created when I drag the window around on the Samsung (top) HERE.
    2) When opening the X-Rite software, I got a warning saying that the laptop monitor had been calibrated, but that the Samsung had not.  I got this error even if I calibrated the Samsung monitor right before using X-Rite.  Also, the monitor is definitely calibrated, because the images look great, and the colors match what I see on the laptop.
    3) Recently, I noticed that when waking my computer from sleep, the Samsung monitor no longer holds its Datacolor (Spyder4) calibration.
    I thought the problem I was having might be due to the monitor, for the reasons stated above.  However, I later noticed that when I open the color-corrected JPEG with the default Windows image viewer, it retains the color correction settings.  The image looks fantastic, and doesn't lose it's color profile when I drag the window around.  Also, there seems to be less color loss in the Word documents and PDFs I included this image in: LINK.
    I checked this with several more images, and the results are the exact same.  I scoured the Web as best I could, but my problem seems to be pretty unique.  Does anyone have an idea what might be causing this?
    Thank you!

    Thank you, twenty_one, for taking the time to read my post and put up a reply.  I am going to rebuild my question and post it again here.  But first, to answer some of your points:
    1. A raw file has no color space, until it's opened into one in the raw converter. So this is controlled in ACR, not the camera.
    I just wanted to be as thorough as possible.  One of the steps I took was to set the Color Space setting in my camera to sRGB:
    2. White balance has no bearing whatsoever on camera profiles. A profile is not for white balancing, it's to account for the spectral distribution of the light, which is something else. You make the profile and assign it in ACR, then you white balance for processing. 
    I know.  I wasn't talking about white balance in my camera.  I set the white balance here:
    I grabbed the color for setting the WB here:
    3. If you get a message about monitor calibration upon opening the camera calibration software, something is seriously confused. The two have nothing to do with each other. No relation whatsoever. 
    Camera calibration software?
    4. A corrupted monitor profile will only show up in Photoshop and other color managed software. Other applications that are not color managed will not use the profile and are not affected. So find out which apps are and which aren't before drawing any conclusions.
    Agreed.  That's partly what I am trying to get help with.
    5. Your links don't work, and in any case clicking on links is something most people including myself dislike. It's much better to insert screenshots in the post, by using the camera icon in the reply box.
    I'm new to this forum, so this is helpful to know.  This image shows the color-corrected image (bottom) on my Samsung.  It looks exactly the same in the same window on my laptop monitor.  When I move that window around on my Samsung screen, it turns gold (top).  The image, when posted to the web, looks *similar* to that gold color.
    So let's say I only use Photoshop on my laptop, which is not displaying any colors.  Do you think the golden hue problem will go away?

  • 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!

  • Using Color profiles and exporting for web browsers

    I've been trying to figure out the answer to this question. As I'm sure you're aware Safari supports color profiles while other web browsers like Firefox do not. I would like to setup Aperture so that it displays and exports images for the widest audience possible. Unfortunately it embeds a color profile and my images on the web only display correctly in Safari. I've tried changing the proofing profiles and export settings to no avail. I didn't seem to have this problem in iPhoto, a picture there looked the same on screen as it did in Safari and Firefox but I can't achieve the same with Aperture...

    Thanks for that information, unfortunately I'm not really any closer to solving the issue since I've already tried that. 1) by default, doesn't Aperture automatically embed the sRGB color profile? 2) if I set view>proofing mode to sRGB shouldn't what I see on screen match what a "dumb" application such as Firefox does when it ignores the embedded profile and display sRGB? I've tried going into the preferences>export settings and changed everything to sRGB IEC61966-2.1 but I see no difference in the final image between that and the default setting.
    I guess my question is more specific to Aperture since I don't have this problem with other applications. For example, in photoshop if I do Export for Web it strips out any embedded profile and when I open that image in Firefox and Safari side-by-side they are exactly the same. But not so when I export an image from Aperture, when opened in Firefox it is desaturated and flat and of course in Safari it honors the embedded profile and looks fine.
