Color Settings Do Not Persist

Hello-
Every time I close and reopen Photoshop (CS4) it seems to revert to using sRGB as Working Space, and Preserve Embedded Profiles for all three types of color file. I have to go into Color Setttings and change these settings to what I want. I know hae them in a Settings fiile, so it's not hard, but often I forget and find myself working in the wrong colorspace for days before I discover it.
Why doesn't PS leave my settings as the default the next time it opens? Do I have to go somewhere else to choose my settings as default? That would seem like very clusmy design on Abode's part.
Another thing that seems annoying:  at the top of the dialog it says "Unsynchronized:  Your Creative Suite applications are not synchronized for consistent color." Well, thanks for letting me know, but it would have been more helpful if it gave me at least a pointer to a solution.

Hi,
I have the same problem. I installed both the Photoshop CS4 Extended and InDesign CS4 trial version. When I try to change color settings for each application individually or when I try to change Creative Suit Colour Settings in Bridge CS4 Color Settings jump back to American General Porpuse 2.
Has someone of you come up with a sollution yet. If so I sure would like to learn about it.
Cheers,
Ivan

  • Changed touchpad settings do not persist on next boot (lenovo s410p)

    I noticed that if i changed the touchpad settings, the settings will stay changed only until i restart or shut down my computer. After that all settings will revert back to default. I tried updating the drivers, but still the problem remains.
    Is there a way i can make the settings stick?
    I'm using lenovo s410p  with Windows 8.1 (updated from Windows 8) btw.

  • Change color settings in Photoshop CS4 js

    Hi,
    I need to set color settings when I save_As my doc. This what I have, but it's not working:
    var myFile = new File (myFinalPath);
    if (myFile.exists) {
        app.colorSettings.enableColorManagement = true;
        app.colorSettings.cmsSettingsPath = myFile;
    Scritp runs without problemes, but color settings remain not set. I do have the setting file saved in myFinalPath location.
    Thank  you for your help.
    Yulia

    app.colorSettings returns a string. The contents of that string depends on your current color settings.
    You have assigned two meaningless properties to the colorSettings properties. The script runs without errors because javascript lets you create new properties. But the new properties don't do anything unless the script uses them after creating them.
    If you are trying to load a colorsettings file you can use this function.
    function loadColorSettings( file ) {
         var desc = new ActionDescriptor();
            var ref = new ActionReference();
            ref.putProperty( charIDToTypeID('Prpr'), stringIDToTypeID('colorSettings') );
            ref.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID('capp'), charIDToTypeID('Ordn'), charIDToTypeID('Trgt') );
        desc.putReference( charIDToTypeID('null'), ref );
            var fileDesc = new ActionDescriptor();
            fileDesc.putPath( charIDToTypeID('Usng'), file );
        desc.putObject( charIDToTypeID('T   '), stringIDToTypeID('colorSettings'), fileDesc );
        executeAction( charIDToTypeID('setd'), desc, DialogModes.NO );
    If you are trying to set the document's profile when saving you can use document.convertProfile()

  • Synchronized register mark at top of Color Settings box grayed out

    Using CS3. This has happened at home on XP and at work on Leopard.
    The color register mark at the top of the Color Settings dialog window sometimes is a gray circle with an exclamation point, instead of the colored register mark showing the pie outbreak when color settings are not in sync. What would make it gray (and I believe prompts you to look at color settings)? Sometimes it works correctly but sometimes it does the above.
    Thanks.
    Gordon

    Hi John. Thanks for the post. Actually though, when the color settings are out of sync the top right segment of the register mark "pie" juts out and the "unsyncronized" info comes up. What I'm referring to is that, at random times, there is no color register mark at the top left of the color settings dialog window and in its place is just a gray circle (almost like a talk balloon in the comics) and there is a black exclamation point in it. Usually, on by system everythng displays correctly with the color register mark that is intact when color settings are in sync and disjointed if they are out of sync, but I don't know what causes this other thing.
    Thanks.

  • Color Settings change with resizing Photoshop window

    I have been seeing a weird phenomenom with Photoshop lately and I hope someone can help me figure this out. I have been editing photos in Lightroom. I occasionally take a photo into Photoshop for more editing and when I do this, if I make any change to the program window side, the color changes to a darker, more muted looking photo. If I minimize the program, nothing changes. If I either change the window size to a smaller, non-maximized window or drag it to my secondary display, the color changes to what I am guessing is a different color space. The only way to fix this is to shut down Photoshop and restart it. I am sure this is some setting in Photoshop color settings, but not sure. Should I have my color settings set to my monitor calibration file or should it be Adobe RGB? Not sure what Lightroom edits in. I do have it set up to send the file to Photoshop in Adobe RGB.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Toby

  • "Could not synchronize the color settings because of a program error." App keeps crashing.

    Hi, I keep getting this error message, "Could not synchronize the color settings because of a program error." whenever I click on Photoshop in my dock. A few seconds after, I'll get a crash report. I just upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion and have not been able to start Photoshop since. Illustrator, on the other hand, works fine. Any idea why this is? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Can you open Photoshop with the shift.key pressed?
    Boilerplate-text:
    Are Photoshop and OS fully updated?
    As with all unexplainable Photoshop-problems you might try trashing the prefs (after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed) by keeping command-alt-shift pressed on starting the program or starting from a new user-account.
    System Maintenance (repairing permissions, purging PRAM, running cron-scripts, cleaning caches, etc.) might also be beneficial, Onyx has been recommended for such tasks.

    Weeding out bad fonts never seems to be a bad idea, either. (Validate your fonts in Font Book and remove the bad ones.)

  • Could not synchronize the color settings because of a program error.

    Hello,
    I am using PS CS 5 on a brand new MAC OSX 10.9.4.
    Upon startup of PS, I get this message:
    "Could not synchronize the color settings because of a program error."
    If I click "Okay", the message goes away and I can use PS. What does this message mean and how do I fix it?
    Thanks in advance.
    Patrick

    Just ignore it.
    The message refers to color settings not being identical in all installed applications. And they don't have to be - mine are deliberately unsynchronized and I have no desire whatsoever to synchronize them.
    Note that color settings are stored under your user account and are not removed with an uninstall. So the message could well refer to uninstalled apps, trial versions, anything you once had on your system.
    Personally I think this is a useless and misleading warning and they should just remove it, considering the amount of confusion it causes.
    Spinipes, the printing crash is unrelated to this. Start a new thread for that.

  • Color settings not staying synchronized

    Using the latest versions of CS6. I've launched Bridge, go to "Edit", "Creative Suite Color Settings", select my setting and Apply. All applications are now synced to use the same color settings. I can check InDesign, Acrobat, Photoshop and it will show the suites being synchronized. If I quit the applications, then go back into any of the applications later in the day or the next day, and check the color settings, it will usually show the creative suites as not being synchronized. Not sure why it's not staying synchronized. Anyboy have any ideas as to why that is?

    Curt,
    Thanks for the response. I'm using a Mac. Sorry I didn't mention that previously. I do not have Bridge set to launch at startup. Just checked the Color settings for the first time today, and so far still synchronized. But, no telling for how long. Just seems to randomly go out of sync. But, as far as I can tell, even when it says it's not in sync, when I check the other apps, they appear to be still using the same color settings, they just say they aren't in sync.

  • Could not synchronize color settings because of a program error.

    First, let me preface this by saying that I have several identical workstations that are all imaged from a single master.
    On the master, I configured Bridge to synchronize color settings across my Creative Suite apps.  This works on the Master but on every machine I've imaged from the Master I get a "Could not synchronize color settings because of a program error" when I launch Photoshop.
    Is there a way to stop the error?
    Thanks in advance,
    hp

    I have my machines setup this way to make preference/setting management/deployment easier.
    Yes, I can understand that and as said, I have a single set up.
    But in normal set up you install the suite at system level Application folder and use it from the dedicated user account(s) on that machine. All preferences and custom settings for Adobe (at least that I know of) are stored in the user library ( User/ library / Application Support / Adobe / and then per app presets - and same library / preferences / Adobe and many settings folders)
    Color sync and custom color profiles you have added are stored in the system library while the saved custom color setting you have created in one of the CS6 apps for use of color settings synchronization is in its turn again stored on user level library (user/ library / application support / Adobe/ Color / Settings) and inhere should be the custom name .csf file you have saved and should be able to find back in the list showing in Bridge when asking for color settings sync.
    I really doubt (but as said, no experience in it) imaging the systems is the correct procedure. I'm not sure what settings you want to pre set but mostly they are found in the user lib app support and user lib pref folder (for PS actions, workspaces, custom brushes etc etc.)
    And if you are using it for education it is a very good idea to learn all user that there is such thing as a preference command that offer you options to customize the application to your wishes. I can't yell enough about that because PS has a very pre historic default preference settings that needs changing for better use of the app. And the default workspace of Bridge is very clumsy and very unattractive, so the more people learn how to change that themselves the better it will be for making it more popular...

  • Ideacentre A520 All in One ~ brightness and color settings not saved

    the settings I choose with the touchbuttons on my A520 get lost when restarting. I would like to lower the brightness settings perminantly, how is this achieved?

    hi qwertydotNL,
    Can you try this instead
    1. Right click on an empty space on the desktop and launch Nvidia Control Panel
    2. On the left side, expand the Display sub menu and select Adjust Desktop color settings
    3. Adjust the brightness / contrast accordingly and reboot the machine
    If the problem persist, try to:
    4. Check if you have the Lenovo Dynamic Brightness System by searching it on the Metro UI, and reconfigure the settings or disable it to run on Startup.
    Spoiler (Highlight to read)
    Hope this helps

  • Nvidia color settings not load on startup (Lenovo T430)

    Hi,
    After I make the desired color settings within the nvidia control panel they do not stick after I restart my laptop. However, they are applied after I log off and log in again but not after I restart. Any idea why is this happening, I guess it has something to do with user accounts but cannot figure it out.
    Cheers and thanks,

  • Work space and color settings indicator

    A helpful feature would be some way to activate a persistent menu bar icon that indicates which work space and/or color settings a user currently has CS synchronized too. I work on both print and web projects and it would be helpful to glance at the menu bar to see what work space I am synchronized too so I know if I need to change it, rather than having to go into Bridge > Creative Suite Color Settings to see, or a particular app's color settings/mode.
    thanx,
    Kurt

    Nope, it must be done the other way around... your device enabled on the BES before the split workspace and personal space can be used... When it is, in your Settings (swiping down from the top bezel), you will see the choices.
