Color Settings Reverting to Default

Maybe I posted this already since it's been happening for a while.
I am working on a file and someplace down the line, I notice perhaps sRGB indicated as the profile or just now, Gray at Dot Gain 20% instead of gamma 2.2. Also the Profile mismatches check boxes are unchecked.
I cannot put a finger on this problem. I did also notice that when I booted up this morning, Bridge was showing only Computer and Desktop in the folders tab instead of the last folder opened as usual.
Something funny going on.
Win7 64 bit, CS5, all updates to Win7, running an AMD Athlon II 630 on an Asus M4A 77 TD mobo,nVidia 9500 vid card.
I did run a mem check last night from the Win7 memtest utility with no problems. I ran it out of curiosity and not because I was having any problems. But this I only ran once since installing Win7.

I hate it when I hear someone's computer forgets things.  It absolutely shouldn't do that!
My first advice:  Stop using a registry cleaner.   I'm here to tell you it simply is not necessary (hint:  I run stable systems for years without using one).  I'd like to hear what makes you think it is needed, and why you would trust some company to know just what's necessary in your registry and what isn't, and delete things from your computer.
Conversely, if you simply just won't do without a registry cleaner, why would it be it a surprise to you when things unexpectedly disappear?
As far back as I can remember, except for when I've purposefully tried clearing my Photoshop preferences manually (the Ctrl-Shift-Alt thing, just to see how it works), I have never lost a Photoshop preference.

  • 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?

  • Making adjusted color settings the camera default

    Hey guys,
    I calibrated my monitor last night and now I'm working on calibrating my camera.
    I just went though shooting a Gretag color chart with my camera and adjusting aperture's "color" dialog box to make the external chart and the now captured chart match as closely as possible. How would I go about setting these slider settings as the default? I've tried "Set as camera default, but something tells me its not capturing the colors I have changed. When I import new images the color setting preset is not automatically applied.
    Ideas?

    Can't help you with the presets, I have never used them. About the calibration, I have the notion that one always has to calibrate the light source together with the sensor, so any camera calibration you perform is only valid for one given light source.
    When I care about exact reproduction (and not just artistic effect) I just shoot a grey card. This only 'calibrates' the overall hue. But I don't think it possible to much else with a calibration by hand (not using sensors and algorithms as with hardware display calibrators).

  • Indesign CS6 printer settings reverting to default

    Hi
    We have a problem which has started recently for some students when printing from Indesign CS6. Most of them have print presets which they created months ago for printing to the default printer using secure print, A3, heavyweight paper, bypass tray etc. They were working fine, but now, when they print a document using that preset it just prints on standard paper and normal (not secure) print.
    I checked their print presets and in the setup for the printer within the print preset the settings have changed to the default settings. If I delete the preset and create another one any changes I make in the setup / preferences for that printer revert back as soon as I click 'Ok'. A work around I have found is that  when I click 'setup' if I click on any other printer, then click back to the correct (default) printer, then click preferences and make the changes they stick and do not change back to the default settings.
    This issue happens without using print presets as well, If you choose file / print and then setup, and you do not click on any other printer and then back again to the correct printer before clicking 'preferences' any changes you make will revert to default as soon as you click 'Ok'
    It only seems to be affecting Indesign.
    The printer is a Xerox Docucenter C6680, using the PCL 6 driver on a print server. We are also running Papercut.
    Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing this? I have tried trashing the Indesign prefs but this does not seem to help
    Cheers
    Murray

    THere appears to be a Postscript diver for this printer. Have you tried that?

  • Desktop and settings reverted to default suddenly!

    Somehow my desktop, profile, settings, well everything reverted back to default. I can't even seem to "right click" with two fingers and regular click any more!
    The only thing I can see being the cause of this is when I opened up Open Office 3.2 to write, it gave me some registration options and wouldn't start until I filled in the Name, Initial and what not so I just type my name there (I name I hadnt used anywhere else on the computer like home folder etc). After that, I noticed Firefox had crashed, so I force quit it. Then I clicked my messenged AdiumX icon by accident when trying to restart Firefox and I noticed all my settings, theme and everything was gone there. I restarted the computer and found myself back with the default blue background and a clean desktop...
    Everything seem to still be available in my folders and Applications, but all settings and what not are gone.
    I found this: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1876?viewlocale=en_US
    But I dont understand how to fix this still. There is only one "user folder" and it is the same name as always, not changed or anything. I have only used one account and it was also admin status. User name and short name are the same in User config panel.
    Please help, I really dont want to lose all my settings and bookmarks...
    Thank you!
    Best regards,
    Carl

    Hi Carl, sometimes it can happen spontaneously too, though quite infrequent.
    First we need to make sure there is no directory damage.
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
    If the Disk is fine, hopefully you can quit all Applications, drag those item in each folder in Shared to the proper location in your folders then reboot.

  • Putting the color settings back to default settings in Acrobat 9 Pro

    Hi there,
    I installed a new color laser, and all of the colors were coming out dull. I went to the advanced settings on the print menu and clicked something, and the window allowing you to adjust the brightness / contrast / saturation, etc.. came up. I tried making things less bright, and that didn't work.
    Anyway, make a long story short, turns out it was a driver problem. I fixed that problem, but now the colors are too dark. The problem is, I can't get back to the same window that lets me make those adjustments. How do I get back there, or, in the alternative, just completely reset acrobat? Thanks!!

    Actually Graffiti it might be able to be done via 'touchup tool' without creating a new PDF. Assuming of course a photo editor like Photoshop is present.
    To the OP: Acrobat is intended as final destination format and not really suitable for editing (although minor changes can be made with the full Acrobat product). It's always best to do the changes to the original document and then make a new PDF making sure you acknowledge proper version control procedures. Changing the PDF means that you now have a PDF that doesn't match the original document.

  • Cookies are enabled but the commands are not stored as the problem is continuous.You return to the change window and see that the settings reverted to default.How do I make this change stick?

    A visited website says cookies need to be enabled for me to proceed.I follow the advice from Firefox and check the appropriate boxes under privacy and exit. When I try to login the same error message comes up so I repeat the routine and try again.The change is not retained as I see the default settings when I return to the page. I would love to see an APPLY button there to ensure the change will be made before clicking OK.

    I guess that is where the css for animation comes in.
    CSS transitions and animations, while very  eye-catching, do not function in IE9 or older, so be careful about adding too much of either to a menu system.
    Transitions will give you the start and stop frames so instead of a nice fluid change from one state to the other, you essentially get a rollover effect from the start style to the finish style in one step. Animations won't run at all and will only show the start frame.

  • Cases in which Domain Group Policy settings would be reverted to default settings on a Win7 client

    Hi - I'm sure this info is out there somewhere, but I'm having a hard time finding it.  Basically, I'm trying to identify the cases in which settings deployed via Domain Group Policy on 2008R2/Win7SP1 would get reverted back to "default settings"
    on a Win7SP1 client that is still a member of the domain, and is in a proper OU, properly targeted, WMI filters should still evaluate true, etc...
    For instance, it appears that if machine-level registry settings contained within a LocalGPO file on a client get corrupted (C:\Windows\System32\GroupPolicy\Machine\registry.pol), all of those settings, plus all machine level administrative template settings
    defined in Domain Group Policy, get reverted to default settings (corresponds with Event ID 1096 in System Event Log where it references "LocalGPO").  I have not confirmed if this is the case for machine level settings defined outside of administrative
    templates in Domain Group Policy, or for any user level settings though.  (But I suspect not.)
    When a workstation is unable to talk to a Domain Controller in order to identify applicable Domain Group Policy settings (for instance, this issue:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2421599/en-us), do administrative templates Domain Group Policy settings revert to defaults up until the next successful processing interval?  I don't believe
    so, but would like confirmation.
    Are there any other cases in which Domain Group Policy settings for a client still joined to the Domain would be reverted to defaults?
    And when a client is unjoined from the Domain, what Domain Group Policy settings would remain on the client?  I understand that some Domain Group Policy settings outside of administrative templates are "tattooed" to the registry.  Does
    anyone know of a full list of these settings?  I believe that most or all of the ones in Windows Settings\Security Settings are tattooed, and the only way to get these settings removed is to explicitly change them via registry edit or LocalGPO/Local Security
    Policy, after unjoining the domain.
    Any info/insight/links to other doc/etc would be much appreciated!

    Hi Shaun,
    >>If a client cannot talk to a domain controller at all, admin template settings still stay in-place on the client, correct?   
    As far as I know, it's not this case. If a client can't communicate with domain controllers, it means that the GPOs applied to the client are out of scope. As suggested by
    the article I provided, for native policy, "when a Group Policy object (GPO) goes out of scope, the policy setting is removed allowing the original configuration value to be used."
    >>What if a client looses network connectivity while reading Domain GPO?
    Group policy will be get updated when computers start up and users log on. Besides, for workstations, group policy will get refreshed at background with by default an interval
    of 90 minutes. As long as workstations can restore network connectivity, the group policy settings will get updated.
    >>Are there any other failure cases like this where some or all Group Policy settings (admin template or other areas) would get reverted?
    There are many reasons which can cause GP malfunction. However, Windows itself provides necessary tools for troubleshooting various issues. When GP malfunctions, we can check
    Event Viewer, collect group policy result, or generate group policy log to troubleshoot.

    Do you even know how to nuke and re-set Photoshop's preferences, colorplak?  Your last post seems to reveal that you don't understand what I'm talking about. Here's a link you can click on:
    Preference file functions, names, locations | Photoshop CC
    To re-create the preferences files for Photoshop, start the application while holding down Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS). Then, click Yes to the message, "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file?"
    Note: If this process doesn't work for you while you're using a wireless (bluetooth) keyboard, attach a wired keyboard and retry.
    Important: If you re-create the preferences by deleting the Adobe Photoshop CC Settings file, make sure that you only delete that file. If you delete the entire settings folder, you also delete any unsaved actions or presets.
    Reinstalling Photoshop does not remove the preferences file. Before reinstalling Photoshop, re-create your preferences.
    Note for Photoshop 14.1 and later: If you use Generator and reset your Preferences, Generator is disabled. Choose Preferences > Plug-ins to turn it back on.
    Video: Julieanne Kost created a video that takes you through two ways of resetting your Photoshop preferences. The manual preference file removal method is between 0:00 - 5:05. The keyboard shortcut method is between 5:05 - 8:18. The video is located here.
    Mac OS
    Important: Apple made the user library folder hidden by default with the release of Mac OS X 10.7. If you require access to files in the hidden library folder to perform Adobe-related troubleshooting, see How to access hidden user library files.

  • Excel 2010 ignores print server's default color settings.

    Excel 2010 ignores print server's default color settings.
    Our Setup:
    Printers are hosted on Server 2008 R2 Print Server. 
    Two local printers are created on the print server for each Xerox MFP that we have.   Example: Xerox MFP (B&W) - Default settings are set to print black and white only.    Xerox MFP
    (Color) - Default settings are set to print color.     So for every MFP we have two printers are created.
    Both variations of the network printers are deployed to the users with the Black and White version being the default.    If a user needs to print something in color, they select the Color version of the MFP printer.   This
    helps us save on color toner costs. 
    This works great for web applications, Microsoft Word, Adobe Reader, and other applications.   But, it doesn't seem to work in Microsoft Excel 2007 or 2010.   Whatever the default printer is of the two versions that are deployed,
    excel seems to hold onto those printer settings.
    Example: If your default printer is Xerox MFP (B&W), when you select Xerox MFP (Color), it still retains the Black and White selection in the printer properties.  However, if you select a completely different model printer such
    as Fax, and then go to  Xerox MFP (Color), it will pick up the necessary default color settings.
    If I install the printers locally on the user's PC/Computer, it works perfectly.   However, it doesn't work when they are utilizing the print server's printers.
    Things that I have tried:
    Different drivers for Xerox.  Global, PS, PCL.
    Different brands of printers.   Still experience the same issue.
    Different port names.  
    Different protocols, raw versus LPR.
    Different versions of excel, 2007 and 2010.
    Looked through group policy to see if I could force it. 
    Checked the excel sheet settings, black and white only was not selected.
    Tried most of the printer properties settings. 
    Created a Server 2012 print server and experienced the same result. 
    Xerox's custom configuration file editor.
    *Something to note, if I have the black and white version utilize PostScript Drivers and the color version utilize PCL driver, it correctly loads the color settings.   However, if you utilize Postscript for both versions, it doesn't. 
    I have to vary the print drivers.  Ideally, I don't want to have to do this because I want consistency between prints.

    Hi,
    Make sure you have the latest printer drivers - go to the manufacture's website, download and install if necessary.

    Sorry Photoshop --  Problems solved -- I read the details -- turns out you need to make changes with no files open for the preferences to apply to all files.

  • When I open a video which I have altered the AV settings on in another program, the settings revert to the initial settings.  Can I edit the color and brightness settings permanently in Quicktime 7?

    I need to change the color and brightness for a video file for a presentation and cannot figure out how to change them permanently when I open the video file in Powerpoint.  Any suggestions?

    The A/V Controls window settings revert when the window is closed.
    You would need the "Pro" upgrade to QuickTime Player and then use the Export dialog / Filters button to make a new version of the file.

  • Image Color Settings Default

    Hi, I’m having a problem with color profiles. When importing images through bridge into one of my Indesign documents the Image color setting is defaulted to the color profile of my image that I am importing. When I start a new document the default setting is “Use Document Default”. You can access this setting by right clicking on an image box in Indesign and going to Graphics -> Image Color Settings.
    Why is the default import option for the color profile different for just that one document and how do I get it to always import with “Use Document Default”.
    This is causing problems when we send our file to press because we are using GCR on the images and not having “Use Document Default” set is separation problems.
    I’m running:
    Windows XP
    Creative Suite Cs3

    Actually now that I look at your problem a little closer, I think you need something different from what you're asking for.
    You are importing a CMYK image with a 340 TIL. You mention you need it to be Document CMYK, which is a different GCR CMYK from the image. In such case it is good that the image has the profile imported with it.
    Output using one of the PDF/X standards. Select "Convert to Destination" without the preserve numbers. Document CMYK.
    Native InDesign colors will not be converted. The LCP MaxK 340 will be converted to your Document CMYK.
    Bottom line: if the images need to be in the Document CMYK color space, and you want InDesign to get them there, they must undergo the conversion when you output the PDF.

  • How do go back to my default display color settings?  Just bought Spyder 3

    Hello out there in Genius land...
    I just purchased Spyder 3 Pro to calibrate my display monitor, but in order to do this correctly, I need to go back to my default color display settings.
    I have manually calibrated my display several times in the past in the advanced mode, so I am familiar with this process, but I am unable to figure out how to go back to the default. Can't find a default option in the color settings tab.
    Any assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Anneita

    Thank you for your quick response.
    I just checked mine since I never changed it. It shows I have two default color >displays - Color LCD.
    When I select either one, the "Delete Profile" button is grayed out. This would >indicate to me that you should also still have your "default" color profile >showing.
    Hmmmm....
    Good point about the grayed out "Delete Profile" button. I went back into my "Color" tab to check it out, and I have 4 different profiles listed:
    - 12-30-10
    - 7/29/08
    - Color LCD
    - Color NTSC (19530 Calibrated
    When I click on each of them, they show a totally different display color.
    The only one that the "Delete Profile" button is not grayed out is 12-30-10, which I made on that date. The other 3 delete buttons are grayed out. But I am thinking that my actual default may be the one that says "Color LCD" like yours.
    Is that safe to assume? What do you think?
    Thanks,
    Anneita
