Color settings etc

all of a sudden the faces on the tv (8yr old Sanyo 54") are green. I'm color blind but my wife is not and neither of us can figure out how this happened or how to fix the color settings. TV worked fine until Sunday (29 June 15). Also somehow TV is now stuck on HDMI 1 on initial turn on instead of HDMI 2. Likely something I did trying to get to the place where my wife can adjust the color but can't figure out how to get to HDMI 2 so TV will work so any color "fixes" can be done. Slight Catch-22. Suspect this is an operator of the remote (me) error. Likely fixable but need to know how.

More than likely your Samsung TV is the culprit for the color problems.... it could be as simple as a bad ( or going bad ) HDMI port... it could be the HDMI cable... you can also make sure that the cable connectors are tight and you have no splitters that could be failing... As far as which HDMI port starts up, I would look with the TV's settings for that. -=Ray=-

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.

Help with Color Settings/Profiles...White's look 'yellow' when exported to PowerPoint as a .png

I am running into this odd occurence and can't seem to figure it out.
First - I am not an expert in the Color settings/Profiles topic but I am thinking there is an issue here.
When I look at this image "McCroreyDigitalLogo.png" in Photoshop the 'whites' appear right.
Then when I import it into ms PowerPoint, the whites look yellowish.
I have done a series of 'tests' and it seems to be that the color profile out of photoshop and the one in PowerPoint are not compatible.
I have reset my Photoshop preferences with no luck/change to the results.
Finally, I did a screen shot out of photoshop and pasted that into Power point. The white appeared correct.
Could use some guidance on how to fix this one. Basically any files I run through PS, when they are imported into PowerPoint, the whites turn yellow.
Thanks in advance

PowerPoint is not a color managed program and can display the color values only in the color space of your monitor without any correction.
Color managed programs like Photoshop correct the color values when displaying them in order to simulate within the color space of your monitor other color spaces, for example sRGB, AdobeRGB, the color spaces of various printers, and etc. For this reason you can not match the color in non-color managed programs to the color of color managed programs but you can do the opposite match the color in Photoshop to PowerPoint.
There is two ways to do this:
One way is if you want the color values in Photoshop to remain the same but be displayed in the color space of your monitor which PowerPoint is using, you can either color proof with or assign your monitor profile to the document.
To color proof choose View > Proof Setup > Monitor RGB.
To assign, choose Edit > Assign Profile, select Profile and from the menu choose the color profile of your monitor. If you are not sure what's the name of the color profile of your monitor, go to the Color Settings, in the Working Spaces section use the RGB menu, scroll up and check what it says after Monitor RGB-
Both proof and assign will give the same result on your monitor but the difference is - the proof is temporary and will last only for the session and the profile, if embedded when saving the file, will stay and when open in other color managed programs including those on other users' computers the color space of your monitor will be simulated and for those users who don't use color managed programs the colors could be way off than if saved with a profile of a more common color space like sRGB.
The other way is If you want the appearance in Photoshop to remain but the color values converted to the color space of your monitor, choose Edit > Convert to Profile, and from the RGB menu choose the color profile of your monitor. This will preserve the appearance and also match the colors in PowerPoint but like proofing and assigning you are not seeing what other users may see on their computers.
It is not possible to see the same colors in color managed and non-color managed programs and at the same time simulate how others using different computers may see the colors because different monitors display color values differently. Color managed programs can simulate a common standard color space like sRGB while non-color managed programs can not.
Edit: Have in mind all this will work properly if you have a color profile that describes correctly how your monitor displays colors. What you did as described in your post #6 is assign a color space that may be different than the color space of your monitor. The result is when working in sRGB color space your color managed programs will match the non color managed programs on your monitor but that doesn't mean that the actual sRGB space is displayed and any other color space simulation could be based on a wrong monitor profile.

Why won't Firefox show visited links in a different color, even though I've specified so in my Color Settings?

When I'm on a page with multiple links (ie. Google Search, Craig's List, etc), and I click on a link, then return to the search page, Firefox doesn't show the visited links in purple. As a result I can't see which links I've visited, which makes browsing very difficult on some sites. I've updated my Color Settings to show visited links in purple, but it's not applying. What might be causing this?

I think I figured it out. My privacy settings were set as "Custom," so I chose "Remember History." Now the link colors seem to be working.
Thank you!

Cannot apply any color settings to RAWs from CompactFlash card

Usually we shoot tethered around here, but i had to shoot to card yesterday and was having no luck using Bridge and ACR to apply color settings to my files. I would open a .MOS file in ACR from Bridge and change its color balance and/or exposure, etc. and click DONE and nothing would happen in Bridge. It would make an XML file that sat alongside it in the folder, but Bridge would not recognize these changes. There preview and the thumb would stay the same, and i wouldn't get that little circle icon with the arrows in it next to the thumb in Bridge.
Changing preview types, thumbnail types, auto-exporting cache, purging cache from Tools menu, reapairing permissions, changing parent folder permissions, restarting my Mac, dump Bridge's preferences etc. nothing worked. i even tried the same images on a different Mac with CS3 and Bridge and got the same results. If i made a New Camera Raw Default, that WOULD work, but i could not make specific single-image changes.
BUT, somehow as i was pulling my hair out, i found a fix. Going to the Finder, i Got Info on the RAW file, went to the Open With popup, found Adobe Photoshop CS3 again (even though it was already highlighted), clicked ADD, and closed the Info window. Instantly that file's Thumbnail in Bridge got rebuilt and now my color changes would stick.
Every file that comes off these cards needs that done to it, but never when we shoot tethered to the computer. Weird. I'm not sure if it's specific to the Digital back or not.
This was using a Leaf Aptus 75S mounted to a Mamiya RZ67 shooting to SanDisk 4GB Compact Flash cards. I'm running a G5 tower using OSX 10.4.11, Bridge 2.1.1.9, and ACR 4.4.1.
Any ideas?

Color settings for Photoshop prints

Not sure if anyone can help - I'm still working with CS2 but perhaps my problem has a simple answer.
I did a lot of printing several years ago but had to leave it behind for a period. I'm trying to get bak into it but i'm having trouble with my color settings. My prints are coming out with rather garish or exagerated. My brain is somewhat disconnected of what I need to be paying attenion to. Anybody with advice on where to start again?

Hi Petyer-2, welcome to the forum.
Chances are it's one or more color-management issues (having to do with profiles, monitor setup, etc.)
Are you printing yourself or sending the images out?
If the former, what color-management settings are you choosing in the Photoshop Print dialog?
If the latter, what color profile are you saving the images in that you're sending out for printing? What does the lab want?
Is your monitor calibrated and profiled? What profile is associated with the monitor?
Feel free to put a representative image up here if you'd like a judgment on whether the image itself is garish/exaggerated.

Photoshop Color Settings for Wide Gamut Monitor

Hey guys,
I have a wide gamut monitor (HP LP2475w) which has already been calibrated. My question isn't so much about that, but the settings I should be using inside of Photoshop (CS5). As far as color settings (ctrl+shift+k) goes, what am I supposed to use? I have sRGB as the rgb working space right now. (never use CMYK), Gray % Spot = dot gain 20%, and preserve profiles are ticked on for all 3. Am I supposed to be using Adobe RGB in RGB working space to get the most out of my monitor? I'm asking because it would be embarrassing if I had a wide gamut monitor and am working within a sRGB color cap. Please enlighten me with the proper photoshop color settings, so that it works well across the board (browser compatibility, etc)
As a FYI, I am a professional digital artist who specialize in illustrations for print campaigns. So far from what I've seen, whatever's been printed out of what I produce from this monitor has come out pretty much looking the same, so I'm not worried about that. Again, I just want to make sure I'm not careless and am using settings which doesn't make use of a wide gamut monitor.
Thanks for your input in advance!

I think a lot of users believe that the Color Settings have much bigger role than what they actually do most of the time.
When working with images you have to be always aware about the color space the image is currently displayed in.
In Photoshop the displayed color space of an image is obtained in the following order of priority:
1. from the choice in View > Proof Setup menu when the View > Proof Colors is checked.
2. when the Proof Colors is off, from the embedded profile.
3. when the Proof Colors is off and when the image is without a color profile (untagged) from the Working Color space selected in the Color Settings.
This image shows how to check the color profile of an image - I keep it permanently on.
As you can see, the color spaces selected for working spaces in the Color settings affect the display of images only when they are untagged (without color profiles). The color settings also set the default choice of a color space when you create a new document but you can always select another color space form the Advance section of the dialog that appears when you choose File > New. You can also assign a color space to any image by using Edit > Assign Profile. So, if you never work with untagged images, you really don't need to care at all what your working spaces in your Color Settings are set to. You can use the Color Management Polices in the Color settings as a tool that will ask you what to do when you have profile mismatch when you paste. Personally I never use these because I'm always aware of the color space of the pasted content. Also the conversion method set in the Color Settings will be used when pasting. If you want different conversion method paste the content in a new document created with the color space of the clipboard content and then choose Edit > Convert to Profile and after that copy and paste in the desired document with the same color space.

Adobe Master Collection 5.5, method of extracting all the presets, settings, etc. from every progra

Is there an automatic method of extracting all the presets, settings, etc. from every program in the Adobe Master Collection 5.5?
I am about to regenerate my Operating System Partitions from scratch & do not want to go through setting up each & every program in the master collection by hand.

Adobe does have some pages documenting where it keeps preference et. al. files. For example, this one for Photoshop CS5:
http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/preference-file-functions-names-locations.html
I do know that overlaying the contents of the Adobe Photoshop CS5 Settings folder does restore most of the preferences. The Color Settings are in a file called Color Settings.csf in another folder (depending on OS). What I don't know is whether there are paths in those files that will differ depending on how you reinstall your system.
You'll want to reinstall all your plug-ins again, much the same as when you reinstall Photoshop. But you can make a copy of your Plug-ins subfolders from your 32 and 64 bit Photoshop installation areas just for good measure, to make sure you don't forget some of them.
As for other programs in the suite... You'll have to look for that info separately.

AYUDA CON COLOR SETTINGS!!! por favor!!!! e impresion!!! en MAC

Tengo varios problemas con photoshop cs. Cuando intento entrar a la paleta de COLOR SETTINGS automaticamente el programa se queda como colgado y no responde, aparece el color piker y muere ahi. Tengo que hacer un FORCE QUIT con la mac para poder seguir y volverlo a abrir. Probe desintalando y volviendo a intalar el programa pero no tengo ningun resultado es lo mismo. Quiza no sepa desinstalarlo bien. Y lo otro es cuando trato de imprimir tampoco me deja, siempre sale un cuadro que dice que el area de impresion es mas grande que la setiada, la cambio hago un documento nuevo y sigue igual. Cuando pongo ignore, me sale que como no es una impresora postscript va a omitir algunas cosas.
Si por favor me dan alguno solucion para esto les agradeceria mucho.
Nicolas Tarallo Nicoletti

Hopla Nicolás:
Lo mismo se logra oprimiendo simultáneamente las tres teclas de Control, Command y Shift (mayúsculas) inmediatamente después de iniciar el Photoshop. Mantenlas oprimidas hasta que te salga un cuadro preguntando si quieres confirmar la acción de redefinir las preferencias.
Sin embargo, si proporcionaras más detalles sobre tu modelo de Macintosh, las
versiones exactas del SO y de Photoshop, la memoria RAM instalada, el espacio disponible en tu disco duro, etc., sería más fácil ofrecerte sugerencias.

"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.
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/system_disk_utilities/onyx.html
Weeding out bad fonts never seems to be a bad idea, either. (Validate your fonts in Font Book and remove the bad ones.)

If 3rd party plug-ins are installed try disabling them to verify if one of those may be responsible for the problem.

Color Settings driving me crazy! Gray is pink.

Why, why, why is Photoshop insisting on doing strange things even though I've set everything I can possibly think of to "off"!?
I DO NOT want to color manage anything. I don't care about what it look likes when it goes to print, I only want my gray to be gray, not pink! And I don't mean that my monitor displays r=g=b like pink, I mean the RGB for masks, layer effects etc actually have values like R=125, G=120, B=111!
If I pick RGB(100, 100, 100) and use the pen (not even the brush) to draw a line in a mask, then when I eyedrop it, it reads RGB(105,100, 92).
I haven't dared even thinking about enabling color management. Who knows what would happen? :-)
Any suggestions what I should do to keep from going bananas?
My settings:
RGB: Monitor RGB - Lenovo Thinkpad lcd monitor
CMYK: US web coated (swop) v2
Gray: dot gain 20%
Spot: dot gain 20%
[ ] ask when opening
Color management policies:
RGB: off
CMYK: off
Gray: off
Conversion options:
Engine: Adobe (ace)
Intent: relative colometric
[x] use blackpoint
[x] use dither
Robert

You can't turn off color management in Photoshop, so you have to learn to live with it. Calibrate and profile your display, make sure Windoze knows which ICC profile to use (so Photoshop knows) and then in PS set your color settings to whatever RGB and CMYK color spaces you want to use.
This should make your color much better both in and out of PS.

Distiller: can't change color settings anymore

I just tried to change some settings in a specific Distiller (8) setting, but when I press Cmd-E and get to all the option tabs, I cannot acces the color tab! When I click on the word color the screens stays as it is and the little tab turns grey. After that I can't press OK or cancel: I can only switch between other tabs... Anyone knows what went wrong here? I really need to change those settings!

Hi; now I could solve the problem for me. I had to remove my Photoshop10 color profile from Mac/Users/.../Library/Application%20Support/Adobe/Color/Settings/ because it must have been corrupted by other CS3 applications (Illu13, Indy5 etc.). Then I created a new color profile there using 'Photoshop10 > Edit > Color Settings', and to be sure I created for each CS3 app a separate one (I named it ColSetPhotoshop, ColSetIllustrator, ColSetIndesign etc.) and selected it in each app, so that those corruptions cannot occur in the future. NEVERTHELESS: ADOBE SHOULD AVOID THOSE INSECURITIES IN THEIR PRODUCTS!
After doing so, Distiller's color tab is functioning normally.
This hint helped me:

"My Distiller crashes every time I hit the color tab in the edit Adobe pdf settings menu.....any ideas what that might be? "
Do not use any other colour parameters than those made with Adobe photoshop or those which are pre-installed.
If you create personal colour parameters with Illustrator or Indesign, this drives Distiller to crash when hitting the colour tab in the pdf settings.
Remove all personal colour parameters (User > Library > Application Support > Adobe > Color > Settings) except those made with Photoshop.

Indesign Color Settings Reverting to default

Hi, in search of some help in regards to Indesign Color settings.
We are running CS3 and have a standard 'ISO Coated v2 ECI' color profile that we use in a color settings setting within our adobe CS3 suite.
We use Bridge to synchonize our applications together and then go into illustrator's color settings afterwards and set 'preserve embeded profiles' to off so as to maintain our illustrator vector cmyk colors etc.
If you go back and check the application color settings individually everything is fine. But our problem is that at some point indesign is resetting it's color settings back to the default col settings with U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2 as the CMYK profile.
Has anyone else had this problem and is there a fix for it?
Thanks in advance, Kevin.

I've never heard of this. Try resetting your preferences : Replace Your Preferences
Are you fully patched to 5.0.4?

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...

Photoshop CS6 Color Settings

I was disappointed to see that the CS6 More Options panel still has 8 bit dither. Why isn't it 10 bit by default ? Shouldn't Photoshop be sending 10 bit to monitors with 10 bit LUT for real wide gamut? Some printers are going beyond 8 bit now, also.

Not following you here, Lundberg02.
The only mention of 8-bit I see in the More Options panel of Color Settings in CS6, is the box that controls whether 8-bit images use dithering when converting them from one color space to another.
What are you looking at that leads you to reference monitors, 10 bit, LUT, etc.?
What am I missing? Or are we looking at different things?
This is just a conversion option for 8-bit images that may need dithering when converted from one color space to another one. 16-bits images do not need dithering when converted.
