Color setting file malfunction ID CS6

One option in Color Settings is to check the box for "Missing Profiles".
This should alert me, when placing files into a template, that a file is untagged or does not have an embedded profile.
However, it does not. Instead, it automatically assigns it the working space.
I've saved the CSF, and restarted ID. I've used templates created specifically in ID CS6.
Any help would be appreciated.

I've probably drawn erroneous conclusions based on my approach, so I will begin a new discussion I believe to be more on point.

  • Opening a color .JP2 file in Photoshop CS6 it's grayscale instead

    I have two .JP2 files that i need to open and apply an artistic filter to. When I open the files they open as grayscale instead of color which they are.
    Am I missing something i have not worked with JP2 files before.

    I was curious so had a look around. I found this site http://www.microimages.com/gallery/jp2/ that has some .jp2 test images on it. I downloaded the world map image (right click and save link not save image or it will save as a .jpg).
    On my system - Windows 7 64bit Photoshop CC the file loaded in as a colour image.
    So I suspect that CurtY is right that your origional image has been sent to you as a grayscale image.
    Just my 2 penneth!

  • Color Setting Issues: CS6

    Loading or syncing color setting files results in different cm policies among the CS apps.
    Even when loading the canned CSF's.
    Example:
    Load one of the defaults (i.e. North American Prepress 2) into Photoshop and the cm policy for CMYK is "preserve embedded profile".
    However, load the same default into InDesign and under the same policy is "preserve numbers (ignore linked profiles)". Same goes if you customize a CSF and either oad it manually or sync it in Bridge.
    That's an important difference if your company is trying to practice color management.
    Assuming I'm correct about this, and there's something broke, think Adobe can fix it?
    one more thing...Seems CS6 now supports Grayscale, which is great, but why can't it retain the embedded profile in the file?
    Again...Assuming I'm correct about this, and there's something broke, think Adobe can fix it?

    Tom,
    let me start quoting the help text:
    InDesign Help
    --- Start
    Preserve Embedded Profiles
        Always preserves embedded color profiles when opening files. This is the recommended option for most workflows
    because it provides consistent color management. One exception is if you’re concerned about preserving CMYK numbers,
    in which case you should select Preserve Numbers (Ignore Linked Profiles) instead.
    Preserve Numbers (Ignore Linked Profiles)
        This option is available in InDesign and Illustrator for CMYK. Preserves color numbers when opening files and
    importing images, but still allows you to use color management to view colors accurately in Adobe applications.
    Select this option if you want to use a safe CMYK workflow. In InDesign, you can override this policy on a per-object basis
    by choosing Object > Image Color Settings.
    Using a safe CMYK workflow
    A safe CMYK workflow ensures that CMYK color numbers are preserved all the way to the final output device, as opposed
    to being converted by your color management system. This workflow is beneficial if you want to incrementally adopt color
    management practices. For example, you can use CMYK profiles to soft-proof and hard-proof documents without the
    possibility of unintended color conversions occurring during final output.
    Illustrator and InDesign support a safe CMYK workflow by default. As a result, when you open or import a CMYK image with
    an embedded profile, the application ignores the profile and preserves the raw color numbers. If you want your application
    to adjust color numbers based on an embedded profile, change the CMYK color policy to Preserve Embedded Profiles in the
    Color Settings dialog box. You can easily restore the safe CMYK workflow by changing the CMYK color policy back to
    Preserve Numbers (Ignore Linked Profiles).
    You can override safe CMYK settings when you print a document or save it to Adobe PDF. However, doing so may cause
    colors to be reseparated. For example, pure CMYK black objects may be reseparated as rich black. For more information
    on color management options for printing and saving PDFs, search in Help.
    --- End
    My opinion:
    It seems, InDesign uses despite the synchronization via Bridge Preserve Numbers instead of Preserve Embedded Profile for safety.
    Personally, I would use for one project just one CMYK space:
    a) convert in Photoshop all images RGB-->CMYK using this profile and embed the profile in each image
    b) make document in InDesign with Preserve Numbers
    c) export as PDF without profiles, but with output-intent for this profile (PDF-X1a) 
    InDesign (even CS6) ignores Gray profiles for viewing and doesn't embed them in PDFs, see (1).
    IMO, the only accurate workflow is this one:
    a) convert images to Grayscale using a "black ink profile" which is derived from the project CMYK space
    b) place Grayscale in channel K of otherwise void CMYK file
    c) export as PDF as above

  • CS6 - Data Set file doesn't refresh :(

    There appears to be a bug in CS6 - does this work in any version of Photoshop?
    Problem - data sets are not refreshed when contents of the data file are changed, despite clicking "Apply Data Set".
    The latest updates are installed, running on Windows 7 Professional, 64-bit, plenty of RAM and available storage. This has never worked before and appears to be a bug in the software.  I’ve gone so far as to close PS and even rebooted between steps 4 and 5, same problem.  Here's how to recreate it:
    1. Create a psd, define variables (I've tried both text and graphic layers)
    2. Assign csv file as "Data Set", save the psd
    3. Run export, close psd
    4. Chage data in csv that was defined as Data Set, save and close csv file
    5. Re-open same psd
    6. Click "Apply Data Set" - nothing happens
    Data is NOT refreshed regardless of whether Data Set 1 or  “All data sets” is selected. 
    The only thing that seems to work is to open the PSD and redefine the exact same file as the data set again, then batch export.  Because I'd be dealing with volumes of psd files that use volumes of Data Set files that change daily, this isn't feasible. 
    Defining (or redefining the same file) cannot be recorded in batch mode, nor through the listener (tried previous version just to see).
    Please let me know if/when this will be fixed.  Really want to use Photoshop since it's the BEST 

    Still no answers after all these months.  Really disappointing

  • Cs3 color setting xml file location ( colors.xml )

    In previous versions of dreamweaver ( or previous to windows
    vista ) I was able to access this file via documents and settings
    and then into the macromedia subfolders.
    It contained the file colors.xml which held my code coloring
    preferences.
    Any idea where that file would be in CS3 adn Vista?

    I haven't created any custom colours, but Vista search found
    this for me
    in seconds:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver
    CS3\configuration\CodeColoring\Colors.xml
    I presume that if an individual user creates a set of custom
    colours,
    the XML file will be in the Roaming folder.

  • Photoshop cs6 missing North America Prepress 2 color setting

  • Setting? Clicking on color NEF files in Bridge change them to sepia/grayscale!

    What's wrong? When I download color NEF files into Bridge (CS3 and ACR 4.6) or Lightroom 2, a funny conversion happens without any prompting on my part.   In Bridge, if I click on the color thumbnail, the NEF thumbnail turns into a sepia/grayscale, as well as the next NEF image.  If I shoot NEF + jpeg, and click on the jpeg, the jpeg keeps the color, but the related NEF does the color change.   When I import into Lightroom 2 the color NEF images come into LR as the sepia/grayscale.   In the develop module I can recapture color by clicking "Color".

    Not sure but it sounds like you ARE applying a preset...what happens if you click on one of the images in Bridge and go up to Edit>Develop Settings>Clear Settings...does that remove the B&W? If so, somehow you've applied a preset. Clearing the settings on all of the files should give you back color images...

  • How do I sample color from a photoshop image and apply it to an Encore menu color sets

    I'm about 3 months and many hours of tutorials into Premiere ProCC, Audition CC, and Encore CS6. Apparently the nifty dynamic links from PPro and Audition CS6 no longer work with encore, as encore was not upgraded to CC. So, I want to sample color from an original photoshop image, and create an Encore menu color set, so that my menu bttons, etc. are colored to match the main photo image in the menu. Is there an eyedropper kind of tool in Encore that would let me sample the color from the image, and then apply that to color swatches in the Encore button layers? If there is I can't find it! ~Thanks!

    Strangely enough, I started a thread on this issue a few days ago in the Creative Cloud forum.  I had to uninstall all my pre-CC adobe software to get the Application Manager in sync with the CC apps, so when I tried to use Encore, there it was gone.  So I reinstalled PremPro CS6 just to get Encore back, but when I right clicked a menu in Encore, as asked to Edit in Photoshop, it threw up an error.  The consensus was that Encore CS6 would know nothing about Photoshop CC, so after much time searching for a fix, my only option was to either reinstall Photoshop CS6, or do it manually.
    I took the latter option using Windows 7 to search for the menu, and open/with Photoshop CC.  Stan Jones, who is the Encore equivalent of our Noel, mentioned a brick-bat, but I just saved the edit file and dragged it into Encore, and it worked fine

  • Color Settings issue in Photoshop CS6

    We are currently using G7 Workflow for our profile. I have a couple of questions concerning the color settings.
    1.We are also not able to hold these settings even once we leave it as "Custom". It defaults back to U.S. Sheetfed Coated Profile.
    2. When trying to set color setting with our profile, it says it is not supported by this version of Photoshop (CS6). It will set this to "Custom" instead of G7 Workflow. What can we do to fix this issue? Please see below for the screen captures.
    Please help! Thanks in advance!

  • Creative Suite Color Setting

    I have Adobe CS6. When I go to my Adobe Bridge's Creative Suite Color Setting (under Edit Menu), it says "Suite Color Management is not enabled, Suite Color Management Requires a qualifying product launched at least once to enable this feature." I opened PS, ID, IL with no help. How do I solve this problem? Also Bridge's Camera Raw Preferences displaying the same error message. Please help.

    Hi
    Thanks for the info, do you think it would be possible in future releases?
    Also im now thinking, if i take out all the csf files creative suite has installed and just leave my custom made one. Then bridge has to sync this one fir all adobe apps right?
    Plwase let me know what you think?

  • Can't open file from Bridge CS6 in PS CS6

    From Bridge CS6, my files open in Windows Photo Viewer or Live Photo Gallery.  When I go to "Open with" on the File menu PS CS6 is not an option.  I know this has to be simple but it is driving me nuts and I can't get my photos to open in PS when I double click on one of my tens of thousands of photos. 
    I just bought CS6 yesterday.  Also, do I need to keep the Adobe CS6 file that is on my desktop, or can I delete it now that the program is loaded?  It is 1.77 GB.  If I even need to reload PS, I can do it from the store on my account, right?  Same for the Adobe file that is on my desktop from the LR4 download a couple of months ago.  Also, I left PS6 checked on the download for 64 and the regular PS.  I have windows 7 so I only need 64 bit.  Why is the other PS CS6 (non 64) there?  Do I need it?  Should I uninstall it?  Also, should I uninstall CS4 and CS5?  They are all still sitting there, along with LR3 (I use LR4 now).  I have huge and multiple hard-drives, so space is not a consideration.  But I just want to clean up a little.

    Lots of questions here, will see what I can add.
    For the file problem go to preferences/file type associations.  You should have the option selected CS6 for the extenstion as the default.  Might try the radio button on the bottom first to set them to default settings.
    If the 1.77g file you are refering to is the one you downloaded and used for installation you can delete it.  It is a wise choice to save it to a DVD first so in case you need it in the future you will have it.  Also save the serial number in safe place.  Acutally safe is not the right word, need to save in place where you can find it if you need it next year.  HD can fail.
    There are still thrid party plug-ins that do not work in 64 bit mode, hence the 32 bit version.  Also there is no 64 bit TWAIN so some still like to use that for scanning.
    Some users experience file association and other problems with an uninstall of past versions.  So it is safest to leave them be.
    If you want to clean up a little resist the urge to move any Adobe programs once is is installed.  Can really foul it up.

  • Unable to open AVI files in Photoshop CS6

    Unable to open AVI files in Photoshop CS6
    I am running PS6 and want to open and edit AVI files. When I try to do that I get an error message saying "the video file cannot be opened" . This seems to apply to ALL avis - yet I can open and edit MP4, MMV etc. I installed Gspot to track whether it was a codec issue and when I try to open ANY file I get this error message : "Warning: DirectShow crashed while GSpot was attempting to obtain information about a codec.  This is usually due to damaged, misconfigured, conflicting, or poorly written codec drivers.  It is possible, perhaps even likely, that other media players will crash when they attempt to play this file as well, as most of them will also use DirectShow.  GSpot was able to intercept the crash, and has attempted to identify the codec or filter involved; uninstalling or reinstalling this codec or filter may solve the problem.  The codec was tentatively identified as:  C:\Windows\system32\imaadp32.acm Unknown video codec #11" I have NO idea where to go from here. I see a site to download the "imaadp32.acm"  codec but what about the "Unknown video codec #11". What the heck is that and what do I do about it. Any help would be appreciate, Cliff
    ps I should add that the avi files DO open and play in Bridge. I have the latest Quicktime. Everything is up to date and PS and the computer is otherwise working perfectly !

    Thanks Curt and 'Mylenium'
    I did re-set the prefs - but to no avail
    I checked and my graphics driver and audio is all up to date.
    No sure how to verify Windows Media Player's hardware acceleration options. I opened WMP Options /Perfformance tab and under Cd the DirX tab is checked.
    Running Windows Vista - so does the same caution apply regarding a re-install of Windows Media Components and DirectX ?
    Appreciate your help with this somewhat frustrating issue. I am converting some old 8mm film to avi with the hope of doing some edits then burning to DVD.

  • No local help files for Photoshop CS6 extended

    Hi
    I wish to use local help files for Photoshop CS6 but only online support is available. Local files are not listed under the Adobe Help preferences. The option to search only local rather than online help is greyed out. I found and downloaded a PDF with of the help files but don't know where to install it or if this is possible. I have CS 5 Creative Suite and this works fine giving the option of local or online help when accessed.
    Is there a way to install and use local help files in photoshop CS6?
    Thank you.

    Hi and thanks for directing me to that article, it should have done the trick. I am using mac mountain lion 10.8.5.
    The help system has always operated oddly - I have Photoshop cs6 but also the cs5 master suite installed. CS5 works fine but Photoshop cs6 only gives the option for online help and then directs me to the CC site. There is no simple listing for just Photoshop help in the help menu - presumably as it is not seeing it installed
    I tried various configurations in the article, having to set up the folders they suggested. In my case, in a variety of alternative places as I have a boot up volume with the documents folder moved onto a RAID array so the Shared folder is not in the documents folder but in Users on the boot drive. So - confusing - but tried all the likely candidates and folder configurations/locations while following the instructions as closely as possible. Even tried an documents folder alias to redirect the program to the alternative path way.
    At least now I have the PDFs and can look through them outside the adobe interface. The problem with the community site being questions regarding photoshop alone, yield answers for all sort of other issues and programs.
    Thanks for your help though, which should have worked, appreciated.

  • Opening files in Photoshop CS6

    Yesterday, before closing down, I uninstalled P/S 7, CS2 and CS3 to gain space, but do not know whether that action is relevant to my problem. Today I find that Jpegs will not open in Photoshop, and in Bridge only by going through Camera Raw. Photoshop will open tiffs, while Bridge will open some, but not all tiffs, through Camera Raw only. This problem follows many months of trouble-free operation of CS6.
    My operating system is Windows 7 Ultimate. I have downloaded the latest patches for CS6, and have set the Bridge Preferences item on File Associations to Default.
    Please, can someone throw light on this mystery?

    Thank you, Curt Y, I will certainly investigate your solution

  • How convert a color PDF File to black & white (gray scale...no color)

    How convert a color PDF File to black & white (gray scale...no color)??? creative cloud cs6... Acrobat etc

    Hi, just wanted to add my 2¢
    I've been in publishing over 25 years and live in Acrobat for making my final files. Currently with a newspaper.
    This is what we do:
    • Tool Panes > Print Production Window
    • Select CONVERT COLORS
    • Midway down under OUTPUT INTENT, check Convert Colors to Output Intent
    • In the associated drop down menu, I choose (because I'm printing on newsprint) DOT GAIN 20% – If you're working on better stock, choose a lower dot gain percentage.
    • Click OK – this will convert the file
    • Save
    Note: this affects the file you're working with. Make sure that you use this method on a COPY if you want to retain the original color version.
    I think if you compare my method to the Preflight method, you'll see a tighter contrast and better blacks. I've always felt the Preflight method left continuous tones a little muddy.
    Now if there was only a way to add that to ACTIONS...!
