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 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
http://www.gballard.net/psd/cmstheory.html
But the Photoshop Help also offers a chapter »Chapter 4: Color fundamentals« that could be worth your time.

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!
Thank You.

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.
Regards,

Color setting message

After we started to use script that each time reinforces color settings that are saved on a server, we started to get a message:
"The current color settings file has been modified outside of InDesign. Do you want to synchronize..."
This message is irrelevant to us, because script will reinforce correct settings next time no matter what choice we make. But the message doesn't have the option:
"Don't show again"
and it keeps popping up endlessly.
Is there a way to make it stop to appear.
Thank you very much for your help.

Inside The Photoshop, In the Color Setting, If I choose RGB: ProPhoto, and Save my setting for example To: MY SETTING PROPHOTO,
Later, Inside the Bridge, Color Setting, I can see MY SETTING PROPHOTO, And If I select that, then every-thing is ok. It shows every thing Is synchronized.
This Is my question:
Do I need to save a custom setting name, so In order for the Bridge can see that setting ?
I noticed If I don't save a Custom Setting In Photoshop, The Bridge dose not have any ProPhoto Setting by default.
Inside Bridge It Has the following Settings:
Adobe RGB 1998
Monitor Color
North America General Purpose 2

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

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?

How to change color setting to north america prepress 2

I just got off the ohone with Epson for 2 hours and they think that the reason my prints are coming out a little dull (or dark) is because I need the color setting to be changed to north america prepress 2 with the working space being Adobe RGB1998. I am not a techie and I have no idea what this means, but it's worth a try to ask you folks who do.
I have an Epson Stylus photo printer r3000 with an Epson perfection v600 scanner. Apparently the reason my prints aren't coming out right is because the printer isn't communicating properly with the right color settings? I'm at a loss. ANY help would be so so so greatly appreciated!!

What program are you using, photoshop or photoshop elements? If PSE, then there is no way whatever to set anything to prepress, so I'm guessing you really have full photoshop, in which case you need to ask in the photoshop forum:

Good luck!

Trouble with Menu Color Set

The highlighted color on my Menus is very flaky, almost unreadible. Has anyone had problems here?
The preview is ok on the PC but on the Blu-Ray player its a problem.

Roy,
What color did you choose, and what is the color that the Sub-picture Highlight appears over?
In Encore, you can change the Color Set of your Sub-picture Highlights.
Now, this term, "flaky," makes me wonder if what you are seeing is the limitation of a Sub-picture Highlight. It can only be 2-bit color - either ON, or OFF, and that means no feather, or anti-aliasing. Sub-picture Highlights will look "rough," and that is the nature of their limitation. Also, the Sub-picture Highlight will appear on top of all Button elements, when selected. Can you define what you mean by "flaky," and perhaps post a screen-cap of your Sub-picture Highlight?
Good luck,
Hunt
