Correct Color Profile in Keynote '09 (or '08)

I have been tasked with putting together a photography presentation for six photographers. The presentation will be projected (with two Epson projectors and six color monitors) in Keynote ’09 (and ’08) for a one-night photographer’s gallery exhibit. One of the concerns raised by one of the photographers who has used Keynote (not sure the version, but probably ’08 or earlier) is that there is a "*color shift*" that occurs from the original saved image. All images are exported from (Apple) Aperture, (Adobe) Lightroom, and (Adobe) PhotoShop CS3-CS5 using the Adobe RGB 1998 Color Profile.
All photographers (including myself) are working with Aperture, Lightroom, or PhotoShop and are saving their final images with the Adobe RGB (1998) ICC color profile.
Is there a way to ensure “correct” color profiles are used in Keynote ’09 (and ’08)? If so, how is this done?
Any help would be appreciated.

Welcome to the discussions, anthonysan.
There isn't a way within the program to do it, however it IS possible I think. I'll give you some tips to start down that path, and, if you have any questions, just post back here.
First, go to Keynote preferences and, under General Preferences, choose "Save new documents as packages". Next, create a new document (white theme), change the Master to blank, and place three rectangles on the first slide, each with an EASY to define color. (By "easy to define" I mean pick colors that you would be able to discern numerically, for example 100% red, 100% black, 100% green, etc.) Finally, double click inside each shape and add some unique text. I'm using "firstone", "secondone", "thirdone".
Now, save that document, then right-click (two-finger-click, control-click) on it's icon in the Finder. You should see an option to Show Package Contents. Select that and you should then see a few folders and some files. You're looking for index.apxl.zip. Double click that one to unzip it, then put the .zipped version in the trash (Keynote can read either just as well). Now, you should have an index.apxl file.
When you double-click the index.apxl file, you'll have to choose to open it with TextEdit, then search for your unique text "firstone".
Things get more detailed from this point, but it does lead to a potential solution. Let me know if you're following so far, and we can look at the mysteries within they Keynote file

Need correct color profile settings in windows....????

Help! Just replaced the motherboard and now all the color profiles in photoshop are wrong.... Does anyone know the correct settings to choose in windows or to choose for the graphics card... it's an AMD Phenom II. I open Adobe Bridge and immediately the previews lose their color which tells me this is not the correct profile the computer is telling photoshop... can anyone help, please????

operating system is windows 7 and the monitor is profiled correctly.... and these are raw images, so no, cannot view in another program.... and they look the same in ps as in bridge. however, i called adobe and they told me it sounds like a graphics card issue, so i'm going to amd's website to update and reinstall drivers.... not sure what else to do....

Not enugh information. Which OS? Is your monitor profiled? Can you see your images in any other program, eg Windows Picture Viewer?
What happens if you open your images in PS instead of Bridge?

How do I get an SVG file to the same color profile as my illustrator file (U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2 and what would be the correct color profile for printing on a shirt?

You need to ask the printing service provider. Dealing with color totally depends on the printing process involved and of course the machines used.

Which is correct color profile for my macbook pro?

Hey there, I make DVD's for a living and I just recieved my new 17 inch macbook pro
I am about to install photoshop and I am curious.
Which color profile is correct for video work
as in, doesnt matter if it pleases me or "looks cool"
which is the acurate color profile that i can rely on for photoshop work for video (72 dpi etc etc)
is it COLOR LCD.
or Adobe RGB (1998)

Adobe RGB is not a monitor profile.
By default, your monitor uses the "Color LCD" profile. For accurate color, I suggest you purchase a calibration device and profile your monitor using 2.2 Gamma instead of the default 1.8.
As for Photoshop, if intend to export for web purposes, your working space should be sRGB.

Correct Color Profile for a 17" PB

It appears the monitor profile on my PowerBook is not representing the correct color saturation on graphic files I create. It is set to the default Color LCD under the Displays Preference Pane.
The problem first came to light after I submitted a post card design for my business to our online printer. We have processed many jobs through the same printer and haven't had any problems. Yet on this job, the design looked great on my PB but when I got the printed cards back they were way over saturated. This week I did another new design but this time I sent it to my designer to take a look at it first before I sent it off to the printer. And she said the same thing, the file was over saturated. So she corrected it on her calibrated monitor and I sent the file off for printing. I'm sure when I get the post cards back they will be fine.
But my question is, how can I adjust the saturation on my PB and do so correctly. The display looks good to me and the colors look right. I have tried the Color Sync calibration tool with no success. And I don't have the resource to buy a hardware calibration device. So my questions are...
Which Displays profile should I be using assuming the Color LCD is incorrect?
Does any one have a Color Profile that they've created on the same PB as mine that has proven to been calibrated correctly?
Any help I can get would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

there have been at least two versions of the pb 17" 1.67ghz, so to get another user's profile you'd need to say exactly which model you have, but age/setting variations mean it may still not be a good match
i use a hardware calibrator, but even with a custom profile there are still problems, mainly because the displayed image is very sensitive to viewing angle, so even if calibrated it is still easy to get things wrong when adjusting an image
you may be able to improve on the default 'color lcd' profile this way...
if you open the display preferences, click on the 'color' tab, and then click 'calibrate' you can create a custom profile 'by eye', you may find this gives better results, make sure you do this after the pb has been left for a few minutes at your usual brightness setting and in the same light conditions you usually work in
if your pb is the same model as mine i can give you a copy of one of my profiles for you to try

Color correction, color profile, colorsync, wide gamut,

There hasn't been any reply to the threads about color inconsistency in OS X, so I'm starting another one.
I'm using a wide-gamut monitor attached to a Mac with built-in display. When Preview displays an image, it applies some color correction to it. This leads to unnecessary color warping.
If the image is solid red, #FF0000, it displays it as orange, #FF2500. If I copy and paste the image, it further warps the color to brownish-orange, #DF4616 or the like.
For example, this image, http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b9/Solid_red.png , shows up fine in Firefox, but when it's color "corrected" thorough Preview or other OS X applications, it becomes something like http://i.imgur.com/gDiTE.png
Please, before commenting about color calibration, note that *this is not a monitor calibration issue*. My monitors are calibrated well, and no recalibration can fix this.
This is an OS X color correction issue. OS X applies and re-applies color correction schemes, resulting in warped colors on anything but sRGB monitors. This corrupts image colors whenever they are handled.
Someone, please address this long-standing issue.

Bridge doesn't recognize color profiles

Dear Adobe community,
I'm using Adobe Bridge CS5.1 (4.1.0.54) and Illustrator CS5.1 (15.1.0), and I'm experiencing a very confusing and disturbing color management problem between these two applications. In short, for some unknown reason Bridge doesn't seem to respect or simply cannot read CMYK color profiles that I've applied to an artwork within Illustrator, but rather labels the file as "Untagged" and displays it with clearly desaturated colors. To illustrate the problem I've created some screenshots having Bridge on the left hand side and Illustrator on the right displaying the same illustration with various color profiles applied. That is, in each case I assigned different color profile to the image in Illustrator, saved the file and took the screenshot of Bridge and Illustrator both displaying the image. Now if you look closely then perhaps you notice that the only time I got a visual match between these applications was when I switched the file to a RGB mode within Illustrator. But even then Bridge did not recognized the correct color profile but interpreted it as "Untagged". Here are the screens:
Bridge "Untagged" vs. Illustrator "U.S. Web Coated":
Bridge "Untagged" vs. Illustrator "Coated FOGRA39":
Bridge "Untagged" vs. Illustrator "Don't Color Manage This Document":
Bridge "Untagged" vs. Illustrator "Adobe RGB":
Hope you could see the difference from these tiny images. Looking from my monitor, I can tell you for sure that they are definitely off, except the RGB versions of the illustration. This made me surmise that perhaps Bridge can only display Working RGB profiles correctly and not anything else.
Here's also my color settings, just in case…
So... Why is that??? Why are these applications showing me different results while my color settings are supposed to be "Synchronized"? Is there a way to fix this? I have tried to play around with the settings and looked for a solution in the web but to no avail. Could you please help me to find a soulution to this disturbing problem?
All the best,
Juhani

You may have used the broken global Purge Cache command in Bridge Preferences, or the cache is otherwise corrupted. Try Purging the Cache through the Tools menu in Bridge for each folder. Tools > Cache > Purge cache for 'foldername'.

Color profiles do not stay synchronized across all applications in CS6

I've recently uopgraded my system to Maverick. Using Adobe CS6 Suite. It seems as of late when selecting a color profile for the creative suite, the application does not keep the color setting. They say synchronized but when reopening to check again, it says unsynchronized.
Also, When making a PDF from InDesign, Illustrator or Photoshop, the colors look dead and darker in the PDF. Again, the Acrobat color prefs say "unsynchronized". If I go to Bridge and re-apply the profile, all is fine, but on reopening the color prefs in Acrobat they are back to "unsynchronized". This also happens in InDesign and Illustrator.
All this an more. I work with a client who is the inhouse graphics manager. We run the same software and the same profiles, yet the same color files look different on his computer than on mine.
Can someone shed some light on this issue. Been doing this many years and have not had this problem.

Not all that familiar with Color sync but bridge should be acting as the central and when you have selected the correct color profile in Bridge CS6 under the menu edit / color settings all CS6 applications should have this profile / setting show.
In your case I would start to reset preferences for Bridge with holding down option key while starting Bridge and from the menu choose reset preferences.
Maybe even do this with al other CS applications if only bridge does not help.
And this is no help to you but I'm still not on Mavericks but if I make the switch I don't use the option for upgrade but make a day free to install everything from scratch. For normal use with a few apps it might not be important to do so but with a lot of apps and daily use in a professional workflow I always go for security versus speed

Confused about color profile support in PNG

NOTE -- you have to hover over the image to see the real images. The images embedded in the webpage have their profiles stripped -- just like photoshop does! Interesting.
I ask a similar question on this before, but couldn't give a satisfactory demonstration of how photoshop doesn't support color profiles in png's.
But now I have a great one.
Picture A: this is with the correct color profile and displays correctly in firefox and probably other browsers -- also displays correctly on windows desktop and in large-icon view.
Ok, anyone who doesn't believe me, grab that image and try to read it into photoshop...
I do, and get no warning on profile mismatch like I do on jpg's or tiff's:
photoshop strips the existing profile and adds sRGB which isn't the correct profile.
This is how photoshop transforms good colors into bad:
Completly screwed up.
I have had multiple people notice how my png saved images from photoshop had "off" or bad colors -- usually washed out in comparison w/my monitor profile.
I can get 'ok' results if I flatten the image and *convert* my existing profile to sRGB -- and I usually get
something that looks 'acceptable'...though the jpg's render in accurate color.
Basically, photoshop can't read or write png web images. and maintain color fidelity unless they have no profile. Even if they have an sRGB profile, I usually get washed out looking pics if I don't strip it but let adobe convert it.
In googling for my own problem, I found references to this problem in Adobe Photoshop going back to 2002.
Why does adobe refuse to fix this? It's horrible.
They could fix it with a file plugin for existing CS5-6 users, but it really needs to get fixed and Adobe needs to stop ignoring this problem.
:-( I find this extra depressing because I prefer to distribute my pictures losslessly in png, but with photoshop, I'm left with lossy jpegs to get accurate color reproduction.

How did the SFW thing even come up?? When I embed profiles in jpg and tiff, I do it as part of the File Save or File Save As dialog. I can choose what profile to save it with -- and I usually save it with my currently calibrated monitor profile -- as that color profile is what was used to create the picture. Why would I want to convert them to some other profile?? Only thing I have needed to convert have been PNG's because it doesn't embed my monitor profile in the PNG the same way jpg and tiff do.
If it did, png's would look the same as jpgs and tiffs... but the jpgs and tiffs have the full depth of color and look the same as they do in PS. png's look washed out because -- it's been my belief that PS is not storing my profile in the png, but setting a bit in the file to use the sRGB profile.
AFAIK, PNG provided for a sRGB profile-compat bit -- so images that were compat w/that profile could just set a bit rather than including a profile. I see no evidence that PS is saving my monitor profile with the PNG.
My 'settings' for RGB are to convert to working RGB profile which is my monitor profile.
I do have it set to ask me abou profile mismatches on opening or pasting.
Since I don't get a 'this document has a different color profile than the working space'
message when I edit most png's, I assume it has none. Thus from my settings
it should autoconvert it to my monitor profile and save that on save -- which seems to be what happens when I save as jpg or tiff (or I can check off the box to save profile...but I usually don't).

Color Profiles in LR compared to PS CS2

I have my monitor calibrated with a Spyder2pro and my prints match exactly what I see on the screen in PS but nothing close to what I see in LR? I can only find three color profiles in LR (1998, Srgb, prophoto)? what's the use of editing photos in LR if I have to send them to PS to re-edit with the correct color profile? Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong....Your help would be much appreciated!!!
Thanks......mitch

I'm not using 'export', maybe I should give that a try but I'm guess I will have to figure out what Sams Club will want as a profile? I just save the file in photoshop as a JPG and then upload it to Sams. What would be your suggested export or saving method? Thanks for the help....mitch

Color Profile for SnapshotUtilsEx?

Hello,
I'm using SnapshotUtilsEx to get a pixel version of document spreads and pages. This works very well, but I can't figure out what color space the received image data is in. There seems to be no obvious way to find the attached ICC profile for the generated data.
So please what is the recommended way to get a correct color profile that I can use with the received image data?
Thanks.

Since you say the printer "prints in color profile sRGB", it sounds as though you should save your images tagged with the sRGB IEC61966-2.1 color profile.
If I'm understanding you correctly "Lab" does not mean "print lab", it's an acronym that describes an alternate color space for representing an image, fundamentally different from RGB. Print houses normally don't expect an image to be sent to them in Lab mode.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lab_color_space
In all seriousness, you should ask these questions of their customer service:
1. What format should I provide the image in (JPEG, TIFF, etc.)?
2. Should I tag the image with the sRGB IEC61966-2.1 color profile?

X300 color profile problem

Hi. Just got an X300. Like all my laptops and desktops, I do a color calibration using Datavision SpyderPro2 to create a color profile that is near-professional. The calibration runs fine on the X300, and the profile loads at startup which triggers the correct color profile and color balance and it looks great.  But just a few minutes later, magically, the X300 reverts back to the default color profile, essentially ignoring/ejecting the color profile I created with Spyder Pro.
What is the cause of this? Why would the X300 accept, then later on, reject and revert back to the default color profile (which, btw, is waaaaay too blue).
Thanks

i had a hunch you were using vista.
LUT = look-up table.   it's the table used by your video card driver to determine how each color has to render.   by changing values in this table, each color can be made brighter, darker, or shifted in hue.
the way i worked around the vista issue is to set a schedule in task scheduler to run the LUT loader roughly 15~20 seconds after login.   this covers both login after boot and after recovery from sleep.   it's a PITA but is the only workaround i can think to do.
i briefly glanced over the article you've linked above and it sounds like exactly what i went through back in august when i received my T61p and first used vista.   i'm still using vista today and have since decided to live with the added headache with vista's color management interface (or lack thereof).
if all you need to do is remove color cast then seriously consider using the gamma controls in the "color correction" section of the intel GMA control panel.   if your display appears too blue then just knock the brightness down on the blue channel until it looks good to you.   since you aren't doing design work with the X300, this will be a perfectly viable solution.

Monitor color profiles go away when screensaver runs

When I exit the screensaver on my Mac Pro (Leopard 10.5.5) my color profile is completely wrong with both screens washed out as if they had some awful default profile applied.
I can fix this by entering Preferences and then selecting Display. As soon as I do that, the correct color profile is loaded and everything is fine.
Obviously that is incredibly annoying.
Does anyone know why the screensaver would cause the color profile to go away and/or why exiting the screensaver would not restore it?

I've been having the same problem with my Mac Pro, though it only happens on one of the two connected screens.
I upgraded from the original GeForce 7300 GT graphics card to an 8800 GT I got from the local Apple store. Rather than box up the 7300 and throw it on a shelf, I moved the it to the top, 8 lane PCIe slot and installed the 8800 in the bottom, 16 lane slot. In stead of putting full load on one card, I plugged one monitor (1024x768) into the 7300, and the other (1024x1280) into the 8800.
The larger monitor, plugged into the 8800, appears to exhibit the color profile issue for a split second before as the screen saver activates, and often (but not always) when coming out of the screen saver. Opening the monitors pane will load the proper profile, but cycling in and out of the screen saver a few times (the number varies, I've seen anywhere from one to five cycles) can also bring up the correct profile.
In addition, cycling the screen saver will some times result in it deactivating and just sitting at a black screen... The monitor will be on (not in power saving mode), but will only display black. Flinging the mouse back up to the hot corner to cycle on the screen saver results in a momentary flicker of the desktop just before the saver comes up.
The 7300 screen behaves as expected when the 8800 is having problems, throughout the cycling and all.

Keynote PDF Export and Color Profile

I have some color trouble with the pdf-exports of keynote: the color that is shown in the pdf does not correpond with the one in the keynote file. The pdf has more ”milky” colors. Maybe it is a color profile thing. But what profile doese keynote use for the screen? Or does it convert rgb-colors to cmyk? Anyway, how to sync exactly keynote and pdf colors for screen presentations?

There are a few things you can try:
In the PDF export box there is an Image Quality dropdown, where you can choose Good, Better or Best. Which are you using?
Alternatively you can just output the file as a PDF using the Print function. Your profile says you are using Mac OS X 10.4 in which case, in the print window click on the PDF button and choose Compress PDF to output a smaller file.
If you have since moved up to 10.5, this option is no longer available by default, but there is an Automator action that restores it here : http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/automator/compresspdfworkflow.html
The other thing to check is whether your graphics are at the actual size you need them or if you have scaled down a big picture, for example. The PDF will still contain information for the full-size image.
Re-sizing them in something like Photoshop to the size you need first before placing them in the presentation may help.
Finally, if you have Acrobat (Pro, not just the reader) you can use the Reduce File Size option in the FIle menu to compress the PDF you get from Keynote.
Post back with how you get on.

Do images imported to Keynote retain their previous color profile? In other words, if the Keynote presentation will be shown using an sRGB profile projector, should the images be converted to sRGB prior to importing?

Do images imported to Keynote retain their previous color profile? In other words, if the Keynote presentation will be shown using an sRGB profile projector, should the images be converted to sRGB prior to importing or can they be batch adjusted in Keynote?

While I feel your comment doesn't directly address my question, why I am worrying is this.
This presentation is to a camera club. Color is important. Images shown in meetings are projected by an sRGB color profile projector. Most serious photographers us a color profile with a bigger space than sRGB (typically RGB1998). If you project an RGB1998 image on an sRGB projector the colors go to crap. More precisely they become dull and lifeless. Thus, I am trying to determine whether I need to convert the images I plan to put into my Keynote to sRGB and boost the saturation PRIOR to importing them or whether Keynote has a way to do this as part of the software.
