Colour Management Issues with Leopard and Photoshop CS3

Hi Everyone,
Since I have installed Leopard I am having colour management issues with Photoshop CS3 and my Canon i9950 printer.
My screen is calibrated with a Spyder and I used to ask Photoshop (in 10.4.11) to manage colour when printing and used the Spyder profile. Everything came out as I saw it on screen.
Now in leopard when I do the same thing everything comes out too yellow on the print. If I ask Photoshop to let the printer manage the colour it is too red. If I use the default colour management (photoshop managing the colour and it choosing the colour space it is better, but still too yellow).
Photoshop gives the hint to turn off colour management in the printer but there is no option for this and it also said the same thing before of course (when it worked in 10.4.11).
Any ideas?
Thanks.

I'm having exactly the same problem, only my printer is a Canon Pixma iX4000. The colour is all bleached out, it looks exactly like when you've accidentally printed an RGB file on a CMYK printer, and at first I thought that was what I had done, but it isn't. This is very frustrating, I've spent all day going through the manuals, recalibrating etc, but no luck. This is a brand new Mac Pro and printer, but if its not going to print what I see on screen it's just expensive junk.
I wasn't sure if the problem was Leopard or the printer or CS3...

You need to use the correct printer profile for the paper you're using. If the printer didn't come with any pre-built profiles, check Canon's web site to see if they have any profiles available for your printer that you can download.
Printer profiles are very specific. You can't take take a profile for glossy Epson paper and expect it to work very well for Canon glossy paper.

Anyone else having a Problem with Leopard and Photoshop CS3?

I'm using CS3 with Leopard 10.5.4 at work and there are some very aggravating anomalies, that I'd like to nail down to a cause. Most frequently, when switching from apps to P'Shop, the menu bar stays for the previous app, i.e. when going from Finder to P'shop, the menu bar still says Finder and has Finder options. Changing from Lightwave to P'Shop, the menu bar remains Lightwave.
Occasionally, an Adobe app - P'Shop or InDesign - will simply disappear and not come back. The icon in the dock shows it as active, but no amount of clicking, Command-Tabbing will reveal the app and I have to Force Quit, losing unsaved changes.
I have a feeling it's Leopard, since, I've used CS3 on Tiger and CS4 on Tiger and never had a problem.
I'm wondering if upgrading to the latest Leopard would make much of a difference.
Has anyone come across this and found any kind of answers?
Thanks for any suggestions.

> Just because it doesn't happen to Phil (who may not use all of the same features of the Suite that others do anyway) does NOT mean that these problems are not real and are not mere PEBCAK.
Right. If someone is having a problem associated with Tiger, it's PEBAK. If Leopard is involved, it's automatically because of Leopard. Apparently, with Apple's latest OS, trouble shooting problems are no longer necessary - just blame it on Leopard and call it a day.
b FUD
I find the dynamics here really interesting. This thread would have been very different if Vincent had posted with problems involving Tiger. Would have gone something like this:
After admonishing him for not providing more information about his setup by posting the obnoxious big blue link on how to ask questions (ahem - we know NOTHING about his machine or configuration, such as which machine, how much RAM, scratch disk or attached peripherals), there'd be all kinds of trouble shooting advice given - "try a new user", "repair permissions", "run DiskWarrior, and on and on ...
But no, since he mentions Leopard, none of that is apparently necessary and the completely, utterly
b irresponsible
advice is given ... "that's just the way Leopard is".
Those are some serious problems he's reporting that have nothing to do with Leopard. Something is obviously hosed!
As for discounting my experience because I don't use every app in the suite as extensively as I do Photoshop, I'm FAR more qualified to discuss Leopard and CS issues than Ann or Neil who do not use Leopard at all (and have never used it as far as I know.)
"Others have problems with it", is their battle cry but it's extremely weak. Do I really need to remind you all that these forum are ALWAYS filled with people who have problems, regardless of version or OS? You act as if this forum was a ghost town when Tiger and CS3 were current!
Gee, Ann ... people are STILL reporting problems with 10.5 and CS3? How shocking! Guess what - people are STILL reporting problems with 10.4 and CS3 too! Let me make a prediction - people will have problems with 10.8 and CS9!
Vincent-
> I don't really deal with fonts anyway ...
Yes. You do. Even if you never type a single line of text, every application uses fonts to create menus and other GUI items. If one of those fonts are bad, it can create all kinds of problems, including the very problems you mention.
The fact that you don't seem aware of this and you're still using 10.5.4 leads me to believe you're not familiar with the basic practices of maintaining a healthy system. Again, how did you install Leopard on that machine?
Look, if you're simply trying to justify using CS4, go right ahead. It's a worthwhile upgrade in it's own right. However, if you install it on that machine in it's current state, CS4 will NOT fix your problems because you do NOT have a healthy system.
You asked for experiences with Leopard - I can launch every application in both CS3 and CS4 suites
i simultaneously,
and STILL not have your issues. I haven't experienced anything like your CS3 problems in Leopard - on both a 2006 Mac Pro and a 2008 Macbook.
If you'd like help to try and figure out the real problem, I'm more than happy to help. If not, Adobe will gladly take your money ...

How to select paper type for Canon iP5000 with Leopard and Photoshop CS3.

I have printed photographs quite happily for years on my iP5000 using PS7 and 10.X. However since installing Leopard and switching to PS CS3 I am unable to select paper type (glossy, matt, etc). Is this a 10.5 problem, or as I suspect a CS3 problem. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I can select paper type in other applications.

I don't know if it is the same for your printer but with my Canon MP600 I experienced the same problem until I came across the fact that when Print is clicked there is a Blue Triangle on the right of the dialogue. Click this and the paper type etc is displayed.

Colour Management Issue with PS CS3 and Leopard 10.5.2

>It was working perfectly in Tiger with the monitor profile.
You were lucky.
the monitor profile is so Photoshop can display your images correctly.
the working space is Adobe RGB, sRGB, BruceRGB, ect... these are all known color spaces so when the file goes to another computer there is a consistent color space for reference. If you use your monitor profile as a working space then nobody else knows what is going on with your file.
when you print you need to use the printer profile for the type of paper you are printing on this is supplied by the printer manufacturer. you can also have custom profiles made.
you need to read up on color management:

Snow Leopard and Photoshop CS3

My wife is currently running Leopard 10.5.8 along with Photoshop CS3. Are there any compatibility issues that anybody is aware of if she upgrades to Snow Leopard (and higher)? She runs a number of add-on Photoshop-compatible actions as well and wants to be sure these won't be impaired if she elects to move to the newer OS. Thanks!

She may have a few problems with the various aspects of CS3 according to this very useful compatibility guide.

It seems CS4 is the better path to take using Snow Leopard.

Server issues with Indesign and Photoshop

Hi,
We have recently moved to a Mac OS server for our company, but ever since doing so have started to have problems with our files corrupting. We have since been advised by our IT contractor that Indesign and Photoshop files are now so sophisticated, with the way they access and use their database that it is best not to work on them from a server, as there are too many things that could cause problems with their database in a server situation.
When I heard this, I thought 'surely not' as I know most companies work from a server and I couldn't imagine Indesign and Photoshop wouldn't be robust enough to manage the complexities of a server situation.
Can anyone tell me of similar experiences, or is it more an issue we need to look at with the server itself?
Thank you so much for your help, it is greatly appreicated.
Lydia

People work directly from the server all the time, and sooner or later experience file corruption. It isn't so much that the file is stored remotely as the potential for curruption due to network traffic is very high, particularly if you are making a large number of edits which must constantly be written to the file.
The recommended workflow is to copy the files you need to the local workstation, edit, then copy back to the server.

Big issues with Leopard and writing to NAS units or Windows servers

Quick run down of the issues
1st client has a number of G5's all running 10.5.2
NAS units running embedded Windows SBS 2003 or Windows Storage .
All shares have worked fine before the macs were upgraded to Leopard.
Now the macs can see the shares, mount and write to the folders. But immediately afterwards all inherited permissions are stripped from the folders/files and only the owner of the file/folder can access them. All other mac users have no access. It seems that Leopard is ignoring the inherited permissions of the share and just applying its own.
2nd Client
Number of imacs running 10.5.2. Can see the mac shares on the server running Windows SBS 2003 fine. The minute any files are copied you get the progress of the items being copied, seems to appear on the server and then just hangs.
In most circumstances the copying crashes the whole server.
Have tried binding the imacs to AD, but no joy. SMB sharing (with Appletalk turned off) dosent help either.
Somewhere there seems to be some gremlins with AFP and windows shares
Anyone have similar issues or bright ideas ?

Alright I'm running into the same issue with my iMac 10.5.2 connecting to windows server 2003 r2. I'm about to go nuts, I can log on to the server, open files manipulate them and sometimes I'm able to save that file back to server but I'm unable to transfer almost anything new to the server, (I can create new folders though). When you try to transfer something to the server I get "progress of the items being copied, seems to appear on the server"... then it hangs, a corrupt file is left on the server. If you try and open that file I get an error message on my mac, "OS X is currently using this file" on a pc it will say the file is corrupt. I'm forced to carry my psd files on a flash drive and walk to coworkers machines to upload it to the server... (haven't had time to set up parallels). I'm the only mac in the office and I'm seeing why I've been so spoiled at past jobs where its 100% macs.

Issues with Mavericks and Photoshop and Illustrator Cs6

My illustrator cs6 and photoshop are unable to save documents, every time I try to save or save as the save window keeps disappearing. Occasionally I can save if I am really quick, but on average this is not an option,
The same happens when I try and open something through either program, the open window disappears before I can click on anything.
I can open psd or ai docs in finder but just not in the program.
This has only happened since I installed Mavericks.
any help?

Same problem for me with CS5 so I downloaded the trial version of Photoshop CC--same problem again and Adobe does not know how to fix the issue.
For a while holding down the shift key while opening Photoshop worked, then it failed yesterday. I'll try Alljeffedup's key combination solution.
Current workaround is the Open With command in the finder.

Plug in Issue with Bridge and Photoshop

When attempting to access Bridge in Photoshop (CS5 Extended) I received the following message: "Could not complete the browse in Bridge command because Photoshop was unable to find the JavaScript Plug-in". I have never received this message when using Bridge. I do not know how to access the plug in file. I am not sure how to correct this issue. Any help would be sincerely appreciated. Thanks, DanOmaha
OS Windows 7 (64), Photoshop CS5 Extended, V12.1, Lightroom 3,

Can you open BRidge by clicking on bridge icon?
In bridge if you click edit/preferene/startup scirpts do you have a check mark for bridge and photoshop?

Illustrating with Illustrator and Photoshop cs3

I am just starting out in digital Illustration and was wondering if any one could recomend any books or web sites that discuss using illustrator and photoshop to create illustrations?

That's a pretty broad subject CoGordo.
Sort of like asking "Can anyone show me how to use a wrench and screwdriver to build a robot?"
It leaves so many directions to go in that it's difficult to give a decent reply.
You might need to narrow it down a bit.
Are you struggling with the basics of the applications?
Are you currently an illustrator looking to expand your toolset?
Do you have ANY experience with either of the applications?
Are you experienced with traditional illustration?
What types of natural media are you trying to replicate?

Problem with iPhoto and Photoshop CS3

iPhoto is starting to get on my nerves. I just spent the better part of a day figuring out a scanner interface issue--now something weird is going on with CS3.
Today, when I uploaded images from my iPhone to my laptop and tried to edit them in CS3 using the cropping tool, the image size went from like 10 inches to 1 pixel. If I go into image size and try to restore the size, the image comes up blank.
I ended up having to crop the image in iPhoto and complete the editing in Photoshop. Apparently cropping is the only Photoshop tool that's affected. What's going on? This is taking me twice as long as it should.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The following may be of interest:
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Has anybody had compatibility issues with Leopard and their scanners?

I recently installed Leopard on my G5. I'm still using Photoshop CS2 and so far no problems. Until today. I have a Epson Perfection 2450 scanner and today I went to scan some old photos. At first blush, no problem. I put in a second photo. Nothing. I get a 2 messages: The first says: "Make sure the scanner is on and properly set up to scan." Like, yeah. It was just working. The second message read Couldn't complete the import command because there is no scanner installed." I switched the USB port and it worked, once, and then same messages appeared when I tried to repeat. I went to Epson and downloaded a new driver to no avail. The same thing happened. I'm also having the same problem with my Nikon scanner. Photoshop or Leopard is creating problems for my scanners. I've updated all the necessary rivers. But nothing. I'm flummoxed.

I have used the same media type for the last year with no issue
Vendors change suppliers of discs; often one batch is not the same as another.
Media is THE most common cause of the error.
Solution is to change media, and don't but 16x media for a 8x or slower drive.
Another cause is out of date firmware, which can be updated easily in Windows.
Use DVRFlash to update firmware in OS X.

File sharing issue with Leopard and Windows XP

I had no problem with file sharing (see the Windows machine on Leopard) before I reinstall the XP and update to SP3.
Now I cannot get the XP shared disk displayed on Leopard Finder. I looked through some guides and check these:
Both the two laptops are in the same workgroup called "WORKGROUP";
XP firewall disabled;
XP Guest Account enabled.
But I just cannot get the Windows icon back to the left column of my Finder. Have I missed something? Any body with any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Same problem but almost the reverse. 10.5.2 server, windows clients file browsing, opening and saving speed is great, but our 4 iMac clients (Leopard also) really, really slow to generate thumbnail views of files and open them. Happens across several shares, seems to be a problem with AFP, although now after disabling AFP on some of the shares, it is happening on SMB as well. I have read several other discussions on this forum that attempt to deal with AFP performance issues, but none provide a real solution. Now that it is also happening with the SMB protocol as well I am getting a bit concerned.
Any advice or even a link to more info would be greatly appreciated.

Weird Colour Saturation issues with MBA and Dell U2711

Hey all,
Just picked up a new Dell U2711 for use with my MBAir and my PC Workstation. I have the MBA hooked up to the monitor via the DVI imput with the official Apple Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter. What i'm experiencing is some bizzare colour saturation discrepancies. I've attached two screenshots to illustrate the issue...
For some reason, icons in the dock and in Launchpad are displaying WAY more saturated than their icons when displayed in a regular finder window.
Has anyone else seen anything like this? Any ideas where I could start looking to find a solution?
Thanks!

Just updated the post with a new screenshot that better illustrates the problem. I origainly had a firefox issue as well, but that was fixed by changing the colour correction settings in that application.
