Color setting in CS5

What should I set my color setting to...Europe General Purchase 3? My other computer has North American General Purpose 2 but I can't find it on the first computer? tired I guess. Should I be in SRGB or RGB. I mainly shoot portraits and sports but I want to learn photoretouching. I have PC's...do I need a Mac or can I just update on PC?

Wow, you ask for advice without providing relevant information … and the names (»Europe …«, »North American …«) alone might have been a give-away that in different regions of the world different standards are common.
Should I be in SRGB or RGB.
What do you mean by »RGB« as opposed to »sRGB«?
RGB is a Color Mode, sRGB IEC61966-2.1 is a Color Space – which makes a big difference in meaning.
Mylenium’s advice to read up on Color Management obviously applies.
One occasionally recommended site is

But the Photoshop Help also offers a chapter »Chapter 4: Color fundamentals« that could be worth your time.

  • How can I set Illustrator CS5 color settings using Javascript?

    I can set Photoshop color settings with the app.colorsettings ('File') in javascript, but I cannot locate an object in Illustrator that would perform the same task. I can only find readonly objects for illustrator. I would like to have illustrator read a script file to set the color setting
    upon startup.
    Thanks

    Hi imagecollection, that was kind of true in 2010, color mode was possible to be changed via Actions and vbs or as
    Re: Change color space
    with CS6 or newer it is more straight forward since js can play actions, and even easier using executeMenuCommand...however I'm not sure if the OP needs to change color mode or if he wants to load color profiles.

  • Confused about Color Management in CS5 (Photos appearing differently in all other programs)

    I recently noticed this and it's been driving me crazy; when I view photos in Photoshop CS5 they appear significantly lighter/more washed out than when viewed in other programs like Zoombrowser, Digital Photo Professional or just in a regular Windows folder using Filmstrip mode (Windows XP).  When opening the same photo in both CS5 and Zoombrowser and switching back and forth between the two windows the difference is very apparent...for example, one of the photos I compared was of a person in a black shirt -- in CS5 (lighter/washed out) the folds in the shirt were very obvious, but in Zoombrowser (darker, more contrast/saturation) the folds were nearly invisible and it looked like just solid black.  Now, after messing around with the settings in both Photoshop and in Zoombrowser I've found a few ways to get the photos to look the same in the two programs; one way gives them both the lighter/more washed out appearance and another way gives them both the darker appearance with more contrast and saturation.  My problem is that I'm not sure which view is accurate.
    I use a NEC MultiSync LCD1990SXi monitor with SpectraView II calibration software and calibrate it every 2 weeks using these calibration settings (screenshot): http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/8826/settingsx.jpg
    In the SpectraView II Software under Preferences there's an option that says "Set as Windows Color Management System Monitor Profile - Automatically selects and associates the generated ICC monitor profile with the Color Management System (CMS)."  This option is checked.  Also, when I open the Windows' Color Management window there's only one option displayed, which is "LCD1990SXi #######" (the ####### represents my monitor's serial number).
    I assume the above settings are all correct so far, but I'm not sure about the rest.
    Here are my current default Color Settings in CS5 (screenshot): http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/666/photoshopcolorsettings.jpg
    Changing these settings around doesn't seem to make the photo appear much different.  However, when I go to Edit -> Assign Profile, then click off of "Working RGB: sRGB IEC61966-2.1" and instead click Profile and select "LCD1990SXi ####### 2011-06-21 18-30 D65 2.20" from the drop-down menu, the picture becomes darker with more contrast and saturation and matches the picture in Zoombrowser.  Also, if I select "Adobe RGB (1998)" from the drop-down menu it's very similar in terms of increased darkness and contrast but the saturation is higher than with the LCD1990SXi setting.  Another way I've found to make the image equally dark with increased contrast and saturation is to go to View -> Proof Setup -> Custom and then click the drop-down menu next to "Device to Simulate" and select "LCD1990SXi ####### 2011-06-21 18-30 D65 2.20" again.
    Alternatively, to make both images equally light and washed out I can go to Zoombrowser -> Tools -> Preferences and check the box next to "Color Management: Adjust colors of images using monitor profile."  This makes the image in Zoombrowser appear just like it does in CS5 by default.
    Like I said, I'm confused as to which setting is the accurate one (I'm new to Color Management in general so I apologize for my ignorance on the subject).
    It would seem that assigning the LCD1990SXi profile in CS5 would be the correct choice in order to match the monitor calibration given the name of the profile but the "Adjust colors of images using monitor profile" option in Zoombrowser sounds like it would do the same thing as well.  Also, I've read that Photoshop is a color managed software whereas Zoombrowser and Windows Picture and Fax Viewer are not which makes me think that maybe the lighter/washed out version seen in Photoshop is correct.  So which version (light or dark) is the accurate one that I should use to view and edit my photos?  Thanks in advance for any help or info.

    Sorry for the late reply;
    But before we go there or make any assumptions, it's important for
    you to determine whether you're seeing consistent color in your
    color-managed applications and only inconsistent color in those that are
    not color-managed.  For that you'll need to do a little research to see
    if the applications in which you're seeing darker colors have
    color-management capability (and whether it is enabled).
    I opened the same picture in 7 different applications and found that the 6 of the 7 displayed the photo equally dark with equally high contrast when compared to the 7th application (CS5).  The other 6 applications were Zoombrowser EX, Digital Photo Professional, Windows Picture and Fax Viewer, Quicktime PictureViewer, Microsoft Office Picture Manager and Firefox.
    However, at least two of these programs offer color management preferences and, when used, display the photo (from what I can tell) exactly the same as Photoshop CS5's default settings.  The two programs are two Canon programs: Zoombrowser EX and Digital Photo Professional.  Here's the setting that needs to be selected in Zoombrowser in order to match up with CS5 (circled in red):
    And here's the setting in Digital Photo Professional that needs to be selected in order to match up with CS5 (again, circled in red):
    *Note: When the option above "Monitor Profile" is selected ("Use the OS settings") the image is displayed exactly the same as when the monitor profile is selected.  It's only when sRGB is selected that it goes back to the default darker, more contrasty version.
    So with the red-circled options selected, all three programs (CS5, ZB, DPP) display the images the same way; lighter and more washed out.  What I'm still having trouble understanding is if that ligher, more washed out display is the accurate one or not...I've read several tutorials for all three programs which only make things more confusing.  One of the tutorials says to always use sRGB if you want accurate results and *never* to use Monitor Profile and another says that, if you're using a calibrated monitor, you should always select Monitor Profile under the color management settings...so I'm still lost, unfortunately.
    What I also don't understand is why, when the monitor profile is selected in CS5, the image is displayed in the dark and contrasty way that the other programs display it as by default but when the monitor profile is selected in Digitial Photo Professional it displays it in the lighter, more washed out way that CS5 displays it using CS5's default settings (sRGB).  Why would selecting the monitor profile in DPP display the photo the same way as when sRGB is selected in Photoshop?  And vice versa...why would selecting the monitor profile in Photoshop display the photo the same way as when sRGB is selected in DPP?
    I feel like I'm missing something obvious here...which I probably am.  Again, I'm very new to this stuff so pardon my ignorance on the topic.
    By the way, I find that the way that the non-color managed programs (Windows Picture and Fax Viewer et al.) display the photos is more aesthetically pleasing to the eye than the duller, more washed out display that CS5 gives the photos, but ultimately what I want to see in these programs (especially PS5 where I'll be doing the editing) is the accurate representation of the actual photo itself...i.e. what it's supposed to look like and not a darker (or lighter) variant of it.
    So just to reiterate my questions:
    Why does selecting Monitor Profile under the color management settings in DPP give the same display results as the default sRGB profile in CS5 and vice versa?  (CS5 with monitor profile selected having the same display results as DPP with the sRGB profile selected)
    When using CS5 with it's default color management settings (sRGB), using DPP with the Monitor Profile selected, and using Zoombrowser EX with "Adjust color of images using monitor profile" selected this results in all three programs displaying the same lighter, washed-out images...is this lighter, more washed-out display of the images shown in these three programs the accurate one?
    I noticed when opening an image in Firefox it had the same darker, contrasty look as the other non-color managed applications had.  Assuming that the CS5 default settings are accurate, does this mean that if I edit a photo in CS5, save it, and upload it to the internet that other people who are viewing that image online will see it differently than how it's supposed to look (i.e. in a non-color-managed way?)  If so, this would seem to indicate that they'd see a less-than-flattering version of the photo since if their browser naturally displays images as darker and more contrasty and I added more darkness and contrast to the image in CS5, they'd be seeing a version of the photo that's far too dark and probably wouldn't look very good.  Is this something I have to worry about as well?
    I apologize for the lengthy post; I do tend to be a bit OCD about these things...it's a habit I picked up once I realized I'd been improperly editing photos on an  incorrectly calibrated monitor for years and all that time and effort had been spent editing photos in a certain way that looked good on my incorrectly calibrated monitor but looked like crap on everyone else's screen, so the length and detail of this post comes from a desire to not repeat similar mistakes by editing photos the wrong way all over again.  Again, thanks in advance for all the help, it's greatly appreciated!

  • Color setting

    In Cs2 the color setting I have is North American General Purpose 2 but in Cs5 that is not listed but Europe General Purpose 3 is. Are they the same or how can I get them the same...rookie question I am sure.

    i think the most important Adobe color settings "Preserve Embedded Profiles" and alert us of "Profile Matches" and "Missing Profiles"
    these are how i would start a 'rookie' out:
    with these two hard-fast general rules:
    always use the embedded profile and Convert to the desired Working Space (if needed)
    if the file is untagged, first Edit> Assign Profile (the one that looks best on calibrated monitor)
    always embed the profile (apps that don't use embedded profiles will just ignore it)

  • Color issue with CS5

    Hi,
    I recently bought the latest version of photoshop CS5, but when I open my pictures in CS5, the colors doesn't look as good as when I was using CS2. They look more flat, with less contrast and it's driving me crazy because if I add more contrast and save it, when I preview it in other software, like windows viewer, than they look too contrasty.
    Also, when I open my raw files in Adobe Camera Raw and set (camera calibration) to lanscape since my original picture from my camera was taken as lanscape (I just prefer that setting!), they look good. If I save it as a JPG and then open it in photoshop CS5, the JPEG image doesn't look as good, it looks flat. When I open the JPG in windows picture viewer, the image appears good, the same as in ACR.
    I've checked the proof mode under View>proof setup and both CS5 and CS2 were: Working CMYK. I've tried to play with these setting in CS5 to see if it would help, but I can't get the same image as I had with CS2.  Also, when I go under edit>color setting, it's the same setting in both software (sRGB EIC61966).  In ACR, my image is also in set to sRGG.
    Why are my picture looking so flat in CS5. I can't work on them because I'm affraid I will add to much contrast.  Also, I edit them in ACR, contrast looks good and than when I open it in CS5 I have to restart again because there is not enough constrat :S  This is so frustrating!!!! I would love some help on this.

    Hi!
    Thank you so much for trying to help!!!! Unfortunately, I'm afraid that it doesn't solve my problem .   I still don't understand why I never had this problem with CS2 (image were looking much better) and the color setting are the same.  Also, I don't understand why the image in CS5 doesn't look the same as in ACR.  ACR seems to give me a much better image and this is the image I want to open in CS5.   Even when I open my Jpegs that I processed months ago in CS2, they look much better in ACR than CS5. The image in ACR is the same as CS2.  How can we explain that!!  Could it be a display setting in CS5 that I need to change???
    Wolf, see below some of my comments on your tips.  Thank you so much for taking the time to explain everything It's very appreciated!
    Mary, welcome to the world of colour management.  Thanks!
    Tip #1: if you are having colour issues you can be virtually certain that the problem does not lie with Photoshop or ACR. They are fully colour managed applications and understand colour far better than most users.   You are right, I wish I could understand it like them!!! hehe!
    Tip #2: comparing colours between Photoshop and any other non-colour managed application is futile.  Yes I agree, I shouldn't compare with Windows Viewer, however, I think that my image in photoshop and ACR should look the same but they are not
    Tip #3: turn off the Highlight indicator in ACR (click the right triangle in ACR's histogram).  Done but it doesn't solve my problem..
    Tip #4: sRGB is a colour space with a very limited gamut and explains your "flat" look in Photoshop. sRGB cannot capture the vibrant reds captured in the (cute) child's sweater.   In CS2, even when using sRGB, the colors were vribrant and very nice!
    Try the following experiment:
    In ACR save the file as an 8 bit sRGB (as you have already done). Then save as a 16 bit ProPhoto RGB tif file. Open both in Photoshop and compare. The sRGB image likely looks more muted especially in the red tones. (Ensure that you have your Photoshop colour preferences set to Preserve Embedded Profiles.)
    Now take the ProPhoto RGB image and choose Edit -> Convert to Profile. In the Convert to Profile dialog click the Preview box and set the destination profile to sRGB. See the difference?  I did the experiment, but unfortunately it doesn't solve my problem   But I was able to see the difference between Prophoto RGB and sRGB!
    What you were seeing in ACR was the ProPhoto RGB version and in Photoshop the sRGB version.
    Another example with histogram and more details...
    Many THANKS,
    Mary

  • 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

  • Display color setting stuck at "Lowest (4 bit)"

    I'm experiencing a problem that so far I haven't been able to resolve.
    I am running Windows XP Home Edition, MSI Graphis Card G3TI200 Pro, Sound Blaster Audigy MP3+, 512 MB DDR RAM, 80 GB HD with plenty of room.
    My system was running just fine but I was having trouble accessing a web page so I thought I might restart the computer to reload it's brains (so to speak).  When the computer re-booted my color setting had changed to "Lowest (4 bit)" and when I try to reset it I don't have any other setting available.
    I have downloaded the latest drivers, cold started the system, re-seated the graphic card, checked memory cards.  It appears to me that everything is as it should be except the color setting.  Wanted to check the voltages but the program that does that needs a minimum of 256 colors to run :(
    Does anyone have any suggestions as to what the problem is and how to fix it?
    Thanks, Jim

    Jim,
    I am glad to hear you are all set now.
    The reason I always use the nVidia Drivers for any GeForce card is: (This is the release order of Drivers.)
    1) nVidia Makes the Drivers. (Same ones they post on their website)
    2) Then the Card Makers get the same drivers and modify them so their logo show on the drivers along with some minor changes. In MSI's case they add their MSI Tabs.
    So if you want the latest drivers with the most up to date fixes, you go:
    nVidia for GeForce
    ATI for Radeon
    nVidia for nForce
    VIA for 4in1
    SiS For their Motheboard Drivers
    Intel for their Motherboard Drivers
    Creative for Live! And Audigy Drivers
    Logitech for Mouse Drivers
    etc.
    It does not matter who sells the hardware, I use the Chipset Maker's Drivers whenever I can.
    Take Care,
    Richard

  • Adjust color setting HP CP1025 on a macintosh running Yosemite

    Hi,
    Is it possible to adjust the color setting in the settings of my printer runnng in Yosemite (Latest OSX). The colors of my prints are overall to dark.. I want to adjust the gamma.
    Best regards,
    Thijs Boeree

    Hi @ThijsBoeree ,
    I see that you would like to be able to adjust the colors on Yosemite. I can help you with this.
    The drivers for the printer are installed by the Apple Updates. You might have some options for changing those settings in the print driver.Keep in mind this driver might not have the same options as the Full Software drivers from HP. At this time there isn't a Full Software driver for Yosemite.
    From the application that you are printing from, on the File menu, click the Print option.
    Select the driver.
    Open the Color Options menu or the Color/Quality Options menu.
    Open the Advanced menu, or select the appropriate tab.
    Adjust the individual settings for text, graphics, and photographs.
    Depending what application you are using, you might have to make the adjustment from there.
    Hope this helps resolve your issue.
    Have a wonderful day!

  • Color setting and convert to profile

    i found that when i use the "convert to profile" to convert my image, the "intent" setting in Color Settings will affect the image conversion.
    That means the "conversion options" in color setting will overwrite/affect the same "conversion options" in convert to profile, is it a bug or is true?
    i am using PS CS6 v13.0.5.

    hi Pfaffenbichler,
    thanks for your reply,
    i am not sure is it a bug, maybe that is normal, but i have a question is:
    When i convert an image from LAB to CMYK color mode using "Convert to Profile" function
    If convert to profile > conversion options > intent: Relative Colorimetric, but color setting > conversion options > intent: Absolute Colorimetric
    the result is different with LAB value
    If convert to profile > conversion options > intent: Relative Colorimetric, but color setting > conversion options > intent: Relative Colorimetric
    As far as i know, the result of LAB should be same. It is because i think color setting will not affect the conversion.
    i made a pdf for your reference, hope you know what i want to explain.
    Many thanks.

    This Is my question:
    Do I need to save a custom setting name, so In order for the Bridge can see that setting ?

  • 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

  • Setting Bridge CS5 to run Photoshop x32 for Tools

    How can I set Bridge CS5 to call on the 32 bit version of Photoshop CS5 for commands from the Tools menu instead of the 64 bit version? I have it set to open files into the 32 bit version, this is just for the scripted actions in the Tools menu.

    I have a question about this opening from bridge/ photoshop thing.
    So let me get this straight, if I'm in bridge and I select an image it will open ACR in 32 bit mode. If that's true I can understand that. Here's the problem, how do I open ACR from photoshop with a raw image I have selected from photoshop, type in the whole file name and path by hand? Do I open bridge from photoshop and then select my image and that opens ACR in 64 bit method?
    I just don't understand the method  or why it makes any real difference.

  • Color problem in CS5

    Hi, my setup is: Pentax K20/80-200,2.8 Star ED, dual studio flashes with semitransparent white umbrellas, X-rite color proofing card, CS5, Syncmaster 214T with Spyder2 for calibration and Epson R2400 with all the proper ICC profiles..
    When trying to repro an artwork with many nuances, particulary blue, red and yellow, the red one will show properly. The red gets smeary and too red. The
    artwork has a little more of blue in it but that does not show up in the print, just on screen. The difference from screen to paper is too big for my taste (calibrated
    the day before). I've recently repaired the monitor with better quality capacitors to enhance performance.
    I use glossy Epson paper.  Also the blue seems to bleed when printed. Resolution of picture is 360dpi as recommended by Epson. I use "keep sharp edges"
    when enlarging it from the original 240dpi. This has the effect of retaining the colors at least on screen. Sharp image = more pure colors.
    Any clues as how to remedy this?
    Thanks!

    CS5.1. Bleeding meaning that it smears out and loosing details that I can see on screen. I've checked the nozzles and they perform ok in test.  As said I calibrate using Spyder2express and also as said the monitor is Syncmaster 214T. Operating system WinXP Pro with SP3.
    So what is the recommendation except for buying new equipment? What is the problem? When printing from jpg files I don't seem to have this problem. But saving artwork in jpg is not wanted due to lack of resolution.
    I'm now testing seeting the camerta to sRGB and it seem the difference is smaller now. So we have a problem with the AdobeRGB from the camera and CS5 in combination with the printer.
    BUT, when printing RGB areas from CS5, they print properly in color. Meaning that I can't interpret the situation since it looks contradictory.

  • How to set InDesign CS5 as the default in the system having InDesign CS4 has the default ?

    How to set InDesign CS5 as the default .indd application when you have InDesign CS4 and CS5 installed and InDesign CS4 is the current default (InDesign CS4 was installed after CS5 installation)

    Thanks, but I already tried it at first but it is not the effective method.
    I think its because of the this reason :
    Both - InDesign CS4 and InDesign CS5 have their application/program/exe named as "indesign.exe".
    Installation of either InDesign CS4 or InDesign CS5, sets a Windows default path for the "indesign.exe". In this case, since InDesign CS4 was installed later (after InDesign CS5 was already installed), the "indesign.exe" which was directing InDesign CS5's "indesign.exe" was replaced by InDesign CS4's "indesign.exe".
    But after long google and search through regedit, I've got the solution :
    Locate HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\InDesign.Document\Shell\Open\Command in regedit
    Change the value of (Default) attribute to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS5.5\InDesign.exe" "%1"     // Include the quotes
