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

    A member of the Brand Management Group responsed. There is no color profile for my printer at this time. However, I was given a profile to try and it worked very well.

  • Color profile for print

    Do I need color profile for print taged in the file?
    I need to print some photos at LAB (photo lab) and they print in color space sRGB.
    I have created through Adobe Raw a JPEG file, which has untagged color profile.
    Is it necessary to have a color profile for a print at photo lab tagged in the file or better not?
    Thank you for explanation.

    Since you say the printer "prints in color profile sRGB", it sounds as though you should save your images tagged with the sRGB IEC61966-2.1 color profile.
    If I'm understanding you correctly "Lab" does not mean "print lab", it's an acronym that describes an alternate color space for representing an image, fundamentally different from RGB.  Print houses normally don't expect an image to be sent to them in Lab mode.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lab_color_space
    In all seriousness, you should ask these questions of their customer service:
    1.  What format should I provide the image in (JPEG, TIFF, etc.)?
    2.  Should I tag the image with the sRGB IEC61966-2.1 color profile?

  • Display Color Profile For iiyama HM903DT

    I've just been given an iiyama HM903DT monitor but it doesn't want to play with my mac mini
    The trouble is this:- If a turn on my mac with the screen powered on my machine creates a color profile for it (from monitor dcc information I suspect). That would be ok if the profile was correct but it's not. On some jpgs and tif files are massively over saturated (for example gingerbread man.tif) yet other jpegs and tifs are fine.
    If I start up my mac without the screen turned on my mac defaults to "Display" for color and all is well.
    I've check in Universal Access and 'Enhance Contrast' is set correctly, I've also tried using color-sync to no avail......
    What can I do to stop this bug it's driving me nuts!!!

    Me too. Snow leopard seems to ruin my 9CA3 screen because the color looks to be washed out.

  • Please help me find a color profile for Samsung 2343bwx

    Hi Everyone,
    Im just trying to get started in the graphical design field, I just bought a Samsung 2343BWX Lcd monitor (i know I know TN isnt the best for graphical design but im not rich), the color profile that came with the monitor is defective and displays everythign in a deep yellow tint, Ive tried using samsungs Natural Color Pro monitor profiling software but it results in a really ughly profile that is too dark and has a blueish tint to it.
    Samsung's support isnt much help (no sprise there) and I cant afford a spyder or eye-one hardware calibration tool at this point.
    Does anyone have or know where I can get a good color profile for this monitor? You have no idea how much I would appriciate it.
    Thank you in advance for your help
    All The Best

    You have a few choices....
    1.  Use the generic monitor profile supplied with your monitor, the one that came with it when you bought it.  This will be generic, and will not account for drift, and probably won't be all that accurate.  But, at least it should be in the general ballpark since it represents a cross section of a grouping of similar monitors.
    2.  Try one of the presets that came with your monitor. I don't know what presets or controls are offered with this monitor, but I would shoot for a color temp between 5000K and 5500K, a 2.2 gamma, and a reasonably dim brightness setting.
    3.  Find someone who can do a hardware/software calibration, either a friend, or someone who will do it for a fee.  This will get it right once (if they know what they are doing), but will not account for drift over the long term.
    4.  Search online and see if you can find some visual calibration target and do it by eyeball.  This is usually not easy to do, and probably won't be satisfactory, but you can give it a try.
    5.  Buy a calibration package and do it yourself.  You should probably calibrate an LCD monitor at least monthly (I do mine weekly).  This is the best way to go, at least if you are serious about accurate color.  And this doesn't guarantee that your monitor and print will match.  For that, you need to calibrate your printer for each type of paper you use, or rely on generic printer profiles.  Then, you have to make sure you set everything up properly and utilize all your profiles properly.  Sorry, but this is all part of the price you have to pay if you want good color.The fee involves money for the proper tools, education on how to use them, and experience in applying them properly.

    You need to ask the printing service provider. Dealing with color totally depends on the printing process involved and of course the machines used.

  • Good Color Profiles for LED 24"?

    Does anyone have any good color profiles for the 24" LED? I tried using one I really like on my MBP, but it looks completely different on the 24" LED. I don't really like the standard Cinema color profile - kinda light and washed out.
    Anyone?

    Go to Colour Display options and choose Calibrate to change the settings?

  • I can't calibrate any color profile for my iMac's display!

    I think I accidentally deleted the color profile for my iMac's display
    and now it won't let me calibrate any profile! All the colors are bright and washed out.
    When I go to the display>color preference panel I get an error sound whenever I click ANY color profile, and it doesn't load. When I click "calibrate" it gives me the message: "Can not calibrate the display. The factory profile for the display could not be found."
    But I wasn't even using the factory profile, and it won't let me choose any other ones, either (though a whole list does show up!)
    I tried repairing/verifying the profiles in the ColorSync Utility, but it didn't help.
    Is there somewhere I can download the profile and install it? I'm running a white 20" Core Duo 2GHz iMac (summer of 2006), if that helps.
    Thanks!

    seenew,
    I'm wondering if you would have any luck with resetting the PRAM? PRAM settings hold some of the display preferences I believe.
    See: "Mac OS X: What's stored in PRAM"
    If not, I am wondering if reapplying the Combo update for 10.4.7 might correct the display calibration issue or at least return it to the default?
    I don't think that recreating the .plist file for displays will help.
    As far as I know you cannot "download" the profile.
    sorry if those suggestions don't help,

    I don't know what is going on with the White Balance (WB) and LR.  I had no problem before but recently LR started to change the  WB as  it is importing photos.  I checked the color scale for my photos and LR and both are with sRGB.  Now instead of LR changing the WB it is giving me a second copy with a new WB.  Your advise is very much needed and appreciated.  Thank you.

    Can you show us a screen capture of this 2nd copy with a new WB in your Lightroom grid? Thanks
    Are these second copy photos by any chance photos that had been previously imported?

  • Color profile for export in Aperture 3.0.3

    Hi
    What is the best color profile for exporting in aperture 3.0.3 (specially, if the pictures are used for stock). I normally use the export version TIFF or PNG original. Is ADOBE 1998 or sRGB or something else? In Photoshop I have sRGB.
    Thank you for your advice.

    Colour Profiles don't have a best one. It is a way of matching colour produced by one type of device so that it is reproduced by another type reasonably well. Allan
