Color Settings\Colorsync settings don't stick when setting printing presets

Hello
Posting this here, instead of in the iPhoto Forum
In the "Print" dialog box (the dialog box you see after you pass through the iPhoto dialog box - same type of box as with most other OS X applications), there is a down menu to give you access to several categories of settings related to the print job.
Here of course you can save printing presets (paper type, print quality, color management, etc).
Why do ColorSync settings under the "Color Matching" dropdown not get saved with the other presets? Every time, the profile setting defaults to "Automatic". Is this a bug or is there something I am not doing correctly? Is there a good reason why they aren't saved along with other settings? Apple on-screen Help says "some settings cannot be saved in a profile, but this would seem to be a very handy thing?
I use an Epson Artisan 800.
Alternatively, can someone tell me what the behavior is of the "Automatic" setting?
I recently profiled the printer and I am just looking for an easy/quick way at the time of printing to apply one of the three profiles based on the type of paper that is being used. I just figured this would be the easiest way to do it? (my question applies to any application - I posted here because this is of particular importance with iPhoto)
BTW Is it me or is there surprisingly little information online about ColorSync workflows/behavior/relationships in OS X?
Many thanks for any and all advice.
Justin

Hi Scott,
Thank you for your posting in Windows Server Forum.
First of all please update the RDC version to RDP 8.1 for better functionality. Then try to install below updates for windows 7 and check the result.

  • Energy saver settings do not stick when set in system preferences

    For some reason when I restore the default settings for the energy saver settings, the settings go back to a custom setting I set months prior of Display Sleep at 1 minute.
    Here is what I am doing:
    Going to "System Preferences"
    Going to "Energy Saver"
    Pressing the button "Restore Defaults"
    Everything goes back to the default settings of Computer Sleep of 10 minutes and Display Sleep of 10 minutes and I close the window out.
    Problem happens: A bit later I come back to my iMac and wake it up, the setting is back to 1 minute of Display Sleep (which I did months ago, I no longer want that).
    I have even locked the setting to prevent further changes. Which locks the settings in place like it should I believe. However, once the iMac sleeps and I wake it up in a couple of hours it switches back to the old setting I made months ago, 1 minute of Display Sleep, which I no longer want.
    Thanks in advance for any assistance!

    i have the opposite problem... i would like to use custom Energy Saver settings but they will not "stick." instead they keep returning to the default settings. i followed the advice on this thread, thinking it might solve my problem too. but it did not. any suggestions?
    i had one hunch - that it might have something to do with the file of same name but with ~orig at the end (see image below). should i remove the other file as well?
    thanks!

  • Incorrect A4 size when creating print preset for adobe PDF?

    Hi
    I've run into a strange "issue", which I'm trying to understand.
    If I create a new document in InDesign CS4 (or CS5) in papersize A4, the size is obviously 210mmx297mm. All is good.
    If I want to print this document as a postscript document, to a file, I create a new Preset.
    1) File->Print Presets->Define
    2) New
    3) Printer: Adobe PDF
    Now if I select the Setup option the paper size says A4, but the size is: 209,98mm x 297,039.
    Anybody care to explain why it's not a "correct" A4 size?
    Thanks in advance!
    Ruvan

    Guys, I really appreciate the time and effort.
    I haven't done the math, but I think its still a little strange that the width is a little too small and the height a little too big.
    Anyway, what I also think is a bit strange is that if I select a real printer physical printer, not Adobe PDF, then the sizes are all correct.
    Thanks

  • Phone labels don't stick when edited

    I have had this problem since the first version of Address Book. When I go into edit mode on an address card and change the label on a phone number (from Home to Mobile let's say), then exit edit mode, the label change doesn't stick. It just reverts back to the original description. Is there any way to make the label change on a phone number permanent?

    I have done the same thing you have done. I am doing a lecture series for a teacher. I record her voice with logic express and then transfer the audio into the slides and set the timing to fit the audio. When I convert to Quicktime the ending of the slides are extended, which means long pauses between slides. I figured I could convert to DV from keynote to try to cut those long pauses in iMovie but they keynote program just would crash at the end and I didn't have a DV file. So, I'm just converting from Quicktime Pro into a DV file and work on cutting out the long pauses in iMovie. I'm in the middle of this process now. This seems like a long work around but for now, but I see no other choice. Please apple (& jeebuz) help us out!!

  • Problem with JPGs Downlaoded with Nikon Transfer - Can't Apply Develop Settings in Bridge CS4 and ACR 5.3 Settings Don't Stick

    I have found what I believe is a "problem" with JPGs downloaded using Nikon Transfer (ver 1.4.1) and processing same in Adobe Bridge CS4 (Develop Settings) and/or Adobe Camera Raw 5.3 (Photoshop CS4 and Elements 6 as hosts).
    Anyone using these programs in their workflow?
    The problem, quite simply, is that neither ACR settings (nor Bridge CS4 Develop Settings) "stick" when applied to JPGs that have been downloaded via Nikon Transfer ver 1.4.1.
    The same images from the same cameras (D300 and D90), downloaded moments later using Nikon's predecessor software PictureProject work just fine in both Bridge and ACR.  Develop Settings appled in Bridge immediately are seen, and JPGs opened in ACR, and settings applied, then "Done" immediately stick and are reflected in Bridge.
    If someone else is processing their JPGs in this manner, please let me know, as I have reported the problem to both Nikon and Adobe, and although I have tested it on two different cameras and two differnt laptops, I would like to get an impartial result as well.
    One other test, the problem does not seem to affect Nikon's RAW (NEF) format files downloaded from a D2x using Nikon Transfer.  More/different test are forthcoming.
    Thanks

    Can't say one way or another on that statement about using manufacturers' software.  Since Adobe has to interpret each camera models' RAW format having the latest ACR seems to be the best option.  But if the manufacturers' software is more convenient, and you get the same results then use it.  But it does appear you are not getting what you want, so suggest you try a duplicate test run with images straight from the card reader to Bridge and see if you still have same problems.
    I do know it is widely recommended that using a quality card reader gives you more reliable data than getting the pictures straight from the camera.  Does not seem intuitive, but that has been experience of many.

  • Click Pad Settings don't stick

    I'm using an HP Envy 15 Notebook with Windows 10.  Currently using HP Control Zone v 19.0.1.12.95. Since the upgrade to 10, my clickpad settings (Settings > Devices > Mouse & touchpad > Additional Mouse Options > ClickPad Settings) don't stick after a reboot.  The default 2-finger scrolling seems to be Aussie scrolling, and Pinch Zoom and Rotating default to selected.  If I deselect them and reboot, the settings return to their default.  Is this a Synaptics issue that they need to fix (and that I need to fix each time I reboot until they do), or is there an older driver set I could use? Feel free to move this to the correct board if I chose incorrectly. Thanks!

    Hi I have the exact same problem with HP Pavillion and windows 10. Keep turning the pinch zoom setting off and when I restart it defailts back to on again.

    How can I set the default print settings of my document as color.  I want the default print setting to be color when someone opens a document.  similar to duplex print preset is there a color print preset?

    Hi,
    Try saving your settings as a Preset by clicking the Preset drop down and then select Save Current Settings as a Preset.
    Next try changing the settings by selecting the saved preset.
    That allow saving the settings for a specific printer, I assume it may also allow selecting these settings for another printer.

  • Installation error: Adobe Color JA Extra Settings CS4

    I have a multiuser Mac CS4 Design Studio (college department).  All but one computer is installing fine.  This is a PowerMac G5 with 10.5.8.  Clean as a whistle, nothing funny installed, no other problems.
    The installer fails when installing Illustrator, specifically when installing the additional-but-required item named "Adobe Color JA Extra Settings CS4".  It simply fails with a helpful "Error 2" message.  I don't know what this item is, but without it, Illustrator won't install.
    All other CS4 applications install fine.  I've repaired permissions, tried installing from another Admin user on the same computer, etc.  I've tried installing both from the original CDs and from the downloaded license installer.  Etc etc.
    The Adobe installation log appears useless.  I run the "Adobe Support Advisor" which tells me:
      Issue no: id18470
      Unable to update an installed font when installing the Adobe Creative Suite 4 product
    and points me to:
      http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/403/kb403901.html
    Which, if related at all, doesn't provide any info since it doesn't tell me what font is related (although my gut feeling is this isn't a font issue at all, but it's impossible to know).  Anyway I try using the Support Advisor to upload the logs to Adobe but keep getting "The storage server is unavailable! Please try again later."  That's helpful.  Anyway, to rule out any font permission issues I force-propagated proper permissions in /Library/Fonts and ~/Library/Fonts.  No change.
    I've been on hold with Adobe Support for 45 minutes and can't stay on much longer, so I figure I'll post here to see if anyone has any suggestions.  I wish they'd at least have better music.
    Any idea what this file/item is, and if there's either another way to install it (ie copy from another Mac) or manually deselect it from the installer?
    The last chunk of lines from the installation log follows; no idea where the proper cutoff is.
    Thanks!

  • My document don't print the same color when I print it from PDF rather than InDesign

    I have a vector image that don't print the same color when I export it to PDF but the colors are the same on the screen.
    How can I be sure to have the same colors as my InDesign original document when I print it as a PDF ?

    I use the default settings for High Quality Print

  • Colors in Photoshop and InDesign don't match when printed

    Output colors in InDesign and Photoshop (CS4) don't match. How can I calibrate? (I can choose a Pantone color for a Photoshop element that I've used in an inDesign document, import it into InDesign, and when I print, the colors don't match)
    There must be a way to calibrate the colors among the CS4 software.....
    (Mac OS 10.6.4 on 27" iMac)

    That's what 'synchronised' means... as has been mentioned.  Looks like you need to read a few colour management threads.
    If you are picking color from the Pantone Libraries, you can easily get mismatches even with synchronized color settings. In ID if you leave Ink Manager>Use Lab Vales unchecked, the Pantone Solid libraries are defined with CMYK values, while in Photoshop the solid swatches are always defined as Lab values. So, if you pick a color like Pantone Solid Reflex Blue in ID, and then open a Lab, RGB, or CMYK file in PS and fill with Reflex Blue from the same library, you'll never get the default ID Reflex Blue build of 100|73|0|2 whether you are sync'd or not.
    If you are actually outputting spot colors—the PS color is Duotone or a channel—then Use Lab should always be checked in ID and Color Settings would have no effect because ID doesn't have spot color management.
    If you restrict yourself to the Pantone Process libraries, then you can work in CMYK mode in PS and get matches. In that case color settings might come into play if you embedded a CMYK profile in PS that conflicted with your ID doc's CMYK profile, but even in that case it's the assigned profiles that matter not the current color settings.

  • How to save status bar background color in local settings(Windows Phone 8.1)

    I have given the user the freedom to change background colour and save it in local settings. But I am confused on how to save the status bar colour settings because I want to give the user the freedom to choose from 4-5 colours where background of status bar
    can be changed.
    public static void SaveStatusBarColor()
    // get status bar color
    var statusBar = StatusBar.GetForCurrentView();
    var color = statusBar.BackgroundColor;
    // convert color to hex string
    var hexCode = color.HasValue ? color.Value.ToString() : "";
    // store color in local settings
    ApplicationData.Current.LocalSettings.Values["StatusBarColor"] = hexCode;
    public static void LoadStatusBarColor()
    // get color hex string from local settings
    var hexCode = ApplicationData.Current.LocalSettings.Values["StatusBarColor"] as string;
    if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(hexCode))
    return;
    // convert hexcode to color
    var color = new Color();
    color.A = byte.Parse(hexCode.Substring(1, 2), NumberStyles.AllowHexSpecifier);
    color.R = byte.Parse(hexCode.Substring(3, 2), NumberStyles.AllowHexSpecifier);
    color.G = byte.Parse(hexCode.Substring(5, 2), NumberStyles.AllowHexSpecifier);
    color.B = byte.Parse(hexCode.Substring(7, 2), NumberStyles.AllowHexSpecifier);
    // set the status bar color
    var statusBar = StatusBar.GetForCurrentView(); // Exception Line
    statusBar.BackgroundColor = color;
    }This is what was suggested to me. Initially the app runs and saves the settings.But when the app is closed and restarted again it crashes.

    Hi shriyansh,
    Where did you call the method SaveStatusBarColor() and LoadStatusBarColor()?
    I have called your SaveStatusBarColor() in the OnNavigatedFrom method and called the LoadStatusBarColor() in the OnNavigatedTo method, it worked very well in my side.
    So I can not reproduce your issue.
    Here are my code and result, please try to check it:
    public class test
    public Color colors { get; set; }
    public sealed partial class MainPage : Page
    List<test> testdemo = new List<test>();
    public MainPage()
    this.InitializeComponent();
    testdemo.Add(new test() { colors = Colors.Red });
    testdemo.Add(new test() { colors = Colors.Green});
    testdemo.Add(new test() { colors = Colors.Gray});
    testdemo.Add(new test() { colors = Colors.Blue });
    this.NavigationCacheMode = NavigationCacheMode.Required;
    public static void SaveStatusBarColor()
    // get status bar color
    var statusBar = StatusBar.GetForCurrentView();
    var color = statusBar.BackgroundColor;
    // convert color to hex string
    var hexCode = color.HasValue ? color.Value.ToString() : "";
    // store color in local settings
    ApplicationData.Current.LocalSettings.Values["StatusBarColor"] = hexCode;
    public static void LoadStatusBarColor()
    //get color hex string from local settings
    var hexCode = ApplicationData.Current.LocalSettings.Values["StatusBarColor"] as string;
    if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(hexCode))
    return;
    // convert hexcode to color
    var color = new Color();
    color.A = byte.Parse(hexCode.Substring(1, 2), NumberStyles.AllowHexSpecifier);
    color.R = byte.Parse(hexCode.Substring(3, 2), NumberStyles.AllowHexSpecifier);
    color.G = byte.Parse(hexCode.Substring(5, 2), NumberStyles.AllowHexSpecifier);
    color.B = byte.Parse(hexCode.Substring(7, 2), NumberStyles.AllowHexSpecifier);
    var statusBar = StatusBar.GetForCurrentView();
    statusBar.BackgroundColor = color;
    statusBar.BackgroundOpacity = 1;
    protected override void OnNavigatedTo(NavigationEventArgs e)
    LoadStatusBarColor();
    protected override void OnNavigatedFrom(NavigationEventArgs e)
    SaveStatusBarColor();
    private void ChangeColorButton_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    var statusBar = StatusBar.GetForCurrentView();
    statusBar.BackgroundColor = testdemo[Convert.ToInt32(Mytextbox.Text)].colors;
    statusBar.BackgroundOpacity = 1;
    The result:

  • I was trying to sync my iPhone 3GS and it is now stuck, saying I'm in recovery mode.  I am thoroughly confused now after researching online.  I'm scared to restore to original settings as I don't want to lose everything, apps, contacts, etc. Help!

    I was trying to sync my iPhone 3GS and it is now stuck, saying I'm in recovery mode.  I am thoroughly confused now after researching online.  I'm scared to restore to original settings as I don't want to lose everything, apps, contacts, etc. Help!  Is there a way to get it all back if I do restore?? Can I my stuff back through iCloud??

    Bad news first and we hope for good news as well
    The device is in Recovery Mode and the data has already been deleted, you need to restore the device with iTunes in order to get the iPhone back into a working state
    When the iPhone is restored you can then restore it from your latest backup using iTunes or iCloud and regain some, if not all, of your data.
    The good news part only happens if you had a backup.
