CS3+Leopard=inferior color . why?

I had a G5 power PC, Tiger, running CS1, thru an Epson stylus photo R320, using a custom made profile. perfectly happy.
upgraded to an intel mac, Leopard, running CS3. same printer, same ink, same profile.
printing the same exact files, the colors are different, they arent as bright and vivid printed thru my new system.
I realize there are many variables here, but it seems to me that if
the file hasnt changed
the profile hasnt changed
the printer hasnt changed
then the result should be the same
could CS3 have changed some values or something? or is this a mac problem?
I did go and have the service that made my profile make me a new one using the new mac and the CS3. it's better, but the colors still dont pop like they did on my old system.
I have not recalibrated my monitor because it seems to me that if the values are entered it doesnt really matter what it looks like on the screen. and btw, it looks the same
any help is most appreciated!
thank you
lisa

Having a similar problem with a Kodak proofer. I literally took the same file and printed from CS2 and 3. Both apps are using the same profile (a custom profile generated specifically for the proofer). Both 2 and 3 were set with the same print settings (i.e. Color Handling and Rendering Intent).
One of our clients hasn't authorized us working in CS3 yet so making the switch permanently isn't a option, at the moment.
CS3 prints out very weak in magenta vs. CS2. I opened and printed the file in CS2 on accident and couldn't figure out why the color shifted, until I remember reading this post yesterday. Then it dawned on me that I had used different versions to output the two prints. Just did a test to confirm the shift and same result.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

my Mac OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard. how to why install OS X Mountain Lion ?

How?

Mac OS X: System requirements for Mountain Lion (10.8) - http://www.apple.com/macosx/specs.html
Lion and Mountain Lion application compatibility - http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
Kappy 08/2012 post on upgrading to Snow Leopard, then Lion or Mountain Lion - https://discussions.apple.com/message/19401628 - including how to get Snow Leopard and Lion since Apple removed them from the online store.
MacBook upgrade possibilities - https://discussions.apple.com/message/19577869 - "The Early 2006 model 1,1 Core Duo can only run a maximum of 10.6 Snow Leopard. The models Late 2006 Core 2 Duos 2,1 through Early 2008 4,1 can only run a maximum of 10.7 Lion. The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody through the Mid 2010 White Unibody model 7,1 can run 10.8 Mountain Lion."
Why? Good question. I am a strong believer in not upgrading just because something new comes out, especially if you are running older equipment. I would say unless you see a need for it, just stick with Snow Leopard until something comes along that absolutely requires Mountain Lion.

You won't be able to buy Pages from the Mac App Store on 10.6.8. You need to reload it from the original source.

InDesign CS3 hangs with colored spinball after start application

We have inhouse a big problem:
in different times hangs indesign CS3 with the color spinball. After the interruption of the application and restart we can see follow: when the app is up and we think, yes! we can work the spinball comes back and we can wait...if we wait to work after the restart 1-2 minutes the spinball comes for 20-30 seconds and then we can work without problems. As far as the next time (normally within 1 week...).
We have checked the switch, the cables. We have this problem also without network connection. And it reproducible on mac 10.4.x, 10.5.x, Windows XP and Vista. With versions 5.03 and 5.04.
What is this for a problem?
We have deleted all preferences and moved the plugins outside (we have 3 plugins: Softcare K4, Linotype Fontexplorer and Typefy): This problem is always here.
We are helpless. Can you us?
Thanks for a solution!

Did you also install any new fonts? That looks like a font error.

Copying a CMYK Indesign CS3 photo element into a Photoshop CS3 RGB document - color retention?

Copying a CMYK Indesign CS3 photo element (photo silo) into a Photoshop CS3 RGB document - color retbtion issues in a Smart Object?

What a bad idea pasting an image into Indesign instead of placing it is.
I would recommend writing an X4 pdf without downsampling and compression and opening that pdf in Photoshop (but set to »Images« instead of »Pages«).
And if the image is unprofiled Edit > Assign Profile with the indd’s profile before converting it to RGB.

InDesign CS3 - Default Black color issue

Default Black color converted as Spot color in Indesign CS3.
I'm using default color "Black" in InDesign CS3. While creating PS from InDesign CS3 and convert it as PDF using Distiller 7 & 8, it would have changed as "Spot Color Black" instead of color "Black(CMYK)".
Open the swatch and duplicate the color "Black" and renamed as "C=0,M=0,Y=0,K=100". It would work properly. i.e. output PDF has CYMK black instead of Spot color.
We are unable to find/change globally because the Default color [Black] has both text and object.
We do not have any problem with this default black color in Indesign CS2.
It would be better if you provide a solid solution for this issue immediately. I need to send a test file to the printer on tomorrow (05/27/09).
I have attached Testing.pdf and screenshot for your reference.
Picture 1 shows the Default Black color converted as Spot color.
Picture 2 shows duplicate black color created from Default [Black] color and we don't find any issue.
Thanks
Johnson

First, this is a user forum, so all you'll get here is advice, not a "solid solution" from Adobe.
Second, the current versions of InDesign and Acrobat are 6 and 9, respectively, and there will never be any new patches issued for earlier versions. Adobe does not divert effort away from current development to patch old software.
This has been discussed here in the past few months. You should be able to find the thread if you search for keywords like spot black. For what it's worth, Acrobat 9 Pro's preflight does not detect a spot black in your sample PDF (though Pitstop might).
I'm curious why you feel the need to distill PDF rather than export (as I see you did with the file you posted)?

CS3 & Leopard - can't copy/paste from InDesign Illustrator?

I have just loaded Leopard and then CS3 onto my new MacBook Pro and then upgraded my existing iMac with another Leopard and the same CS3. Neither machine will allow me to copy/paste images or text boxes from InDesign > Illustrator - It appears to try to (shows the working color wheel - then nothing happens) It will allow me to select/copy the text WITHIN a text frame but will paste text only - not attributes????? I can copy /paste Illustrator >InDesign. also have no problem between Photoshop and either of InDesign or Illustrator?????? Have spoken to Adobe - they have no solution at this point and are 'getting back to me'.... Not a problem on Tiger/CS2 on iMac before upgrade. Appreciate your help!

Possibly running out of ram since it needs to rasterize for photoshop. Save the ai file then let photoshop open it.

CS3 / Leopard / EPSON R2400 issue

Hi Everyone,
I'm a design professional who is pretty dumb when it comes to color management.
I have an EPSON R2400 at home and have never gotten it to print right. I had CS2
and had all kinds of problems with it, and have since upgraded to CS3. Over the weekend I upgraded to Leopard and now the prints look horrible. They are really light and have a posterized look to them. I have installed the new EPSON driver that is Leopard compatible. Can anyone walk me through what I need to do to get great prints?
Thanks, Mark

Just purchased a Mac Pro 2x2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon. 16GB 800 MHz DDR2 FB- DIMM
In the past I have been running my Epson 7600 direct from my PC. printing from Q Image and Photoshop Lightroom 2 with fantastic results.
It has been frustrating to find out that the Leopard Driver version 3.09 from Epson will not work regarding positioning the image on the sheet (using roll paper). Epson and Apple do not seem to want to help, even Epson state on their site that the printer driver is not a full featured driver for Leopard.
I then discovered Gutenprint, I have downloaded the driver and have my Mac conected via USB I am printing out of Photoshop Lightroom.
This has corrected the image positioning problem, the only problem now is the I am getting poor colour, can you tell me if I can still allow the the printer to manage colour ? in the Lightroom settings I have tried different settings to no avail.
My files are profiled for Adobe RGB 1998.
If anybody could let me know if they have managed to have the new Epson Driver 3.09 work in their workflow it would be very much appreciated, or maybe they have gone down the same track as myself with the Gutenprint driver .

CS3 Leopard: System Lock Out

This now the 5th time this week I've had my system completely lock out while working in the most updated version Illustrator CS3, and ONLY within Illustrator. 3 out of the 5 times it has been while using the type tool, either creating a new text box or adjusting a current one. The other two times have been while performing basic shape manipulations.
Essentially though, it's locking out the entire system. I've waited, up to 20 minutes in case it was processing entirely too long (which shouldn't really happen with 4GB of RAM in this beast), even closed and re-opened my MacBook Pro thinking that would fix the problem. When I open it back up, the screen does not re-illuminate.
It seems the only fix to this problem is holding the power button and completely rebooting the computer seeing as Force Quit (from the keyboard command) will not work, nor will it let me switch to other programs or click on anything as it changes from the colored wheel to the pointer when it feels like it.
Only other thing, is that iTunes will continue to play. No other keyboard or system commands will work, such as adjusting volume, switching programs or exposé. Is anyone else experiencing this, or is it really just me?

Hi Joe:
Im having the exact same problem with Illustrator 13.0.2 on Mac OS X 10.5.2; in my case, I have installed Leopard last sunday and I havent really tested my machine yet in real work but seemed to be perfect except when applying Overprint in Illustrator. Did you find any solution?
Please, anyone, I hate to reboot my machine this way.

Very slow printing Illustrator CS3 to HP Color Laserjet 3600

Howdy!
OS X 10.5.8 G5 dual 2.0. Printer is connected via Ethernet. I've created new printers using Bonjour, IP address, and HP IP printing under Other...
Illustrator hangs upwards of ten minutes with a beachball at the "Printing Page:" window, before the file shows up in the print queue.
Illustrator is printing fine to all my other printers, (hp Deskjet & 2 Epson Pro 4000's) and all my other apps print to the HP Color Laserjet 3600 nice and speedily. If I reboot, it takes about 45 seconds on the first print, then back to 10 + minutes, after that.
Happens with any Illustrator file. I've created several new files, both RGB and CMYK. Acrobat will print these files nice and speedily. I can place them in InDesign, and it prints them nice and speedily.
CS2 also hangs in the same fashion.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

I don't know if this is related, but...
My MacBook Pro (Airport) has always been dicey connecting to an HP LaserJet 4000 on my wired LAN. Before Snow Leopard, I used AppleTalk rather than IP printing because it just worked.
But Snow Leopard doesn't support AppleTalk any more, so I reinstalled the printer to connect via JetDirect (which supposedly provides more features). When it works, it works fine. But very often I get a message that it can't connect to the printer. The only thing I've found that fixes the problem is power-cycling the printer, which somehow enables queued jobs to print. Needless to say, this gets old.
Is there some trick I'm missing?

Upgraded to CS5 Illustrator form CS3 Illustrator. Colors are not printing correctly in CS5

I have just recently purchased CS5 Premium Suite. I am working with Illustrator. When I print my CS3 Illustrator files in CS5 the colors are not printing correctly. Is there a way to fix this problem

I've been doing more troubleshooting since I wrote this post. I've now tried printing from a non-Adobe app and I'm getting the same margin error. So it is definitely a Xerox issue and I have a tech coming out on Monday.
The reason I originally figured it must be an CS5 issue is because just two weeks ago when I was using CS2, our landscape-oriented programs were printing with .25" margins as they should. Then last week after upgrading to CS5, the inside page (2nd page) was noticeably out of whack and shifted to the right (not left). But when I started trying to troubleshoot this week, everything started shifting to the left.
The only thing different between those two weeks was the fact I updated to CS5.
But obviously, my printer as decided to go to crap in more ways than one all in a two week period. Hopefully the tech can sort it out next Monday.
Thanks!

CS3 + ID CS4 - Color management Iussues in Bridge CS4

I have CS3 WEB PREMIUM edition and recently added InDesign CS4. While trying to get the color management right for all Suite applications I get an error in Bridge CS4.
"Suite Color Management is not enabled. Suite Color Management requires that a qualifying product has been launched at least once to enable this feature."
So, I DO have a Creative Suite, only different Versions of its applications. Where is the problem, and if Bridge CS4 keeps on thinking I have no Suite at all, am I supposed to reinstall Bridge CS3?

Pascal.
I see you are a new Mac user. In case you're not aware...
On the Mac, new installations of Adobe (and much other) software do not overwrite and/or replace older versions when doing full version upgrades. Older and current software versions coexist and you can still use either -- particularly useful when learning a new version, but you still need to get work done now. Or if there is a favorite feature that was not included in the new version (such as no ImageReady included with Photoshop).
Be aware, though, double-clicking on a file will launch the latest version unless the older version was previously launched.
For those apps or (more likely) utilities that do overwrite or remove older versions, you're given a heads-up before you commit to an install.

Leopard forgets color profiles when waking from sleep on MBP Santa Rosa

I have a 15" MBP Santa Rosa with a 22" Samsung external monitor. I performed a clean (erase and) install on my machine. Upon waking from sleep, the computer seems to have forgotten the color profiles loaded for the displays. To correct this, I open system preferences and then the display option. As soon as the display options are shown on the window, my MBP loads the correct profile. This has happened for both displays, though far more frequently on the external display. The profile for my Samsung was created using color calibration hardware/software but the MBP display is running the stock profile from Leopard.
Any thoughts? Has anyone else experienced this?

same issue here. also had it in tiger, but much more frequently in leopard. seems to be whenever my display wakes from sleep.
MBP 2.4 GHz SR purchased 6/07. also driving samsung 245bw external display (which has never been affected, unless perhaps my calibrated and default profiles aren't different enough for me to notice--the difference is severe on my built-in display).

CS3 : Create hidden color

Hello,
Is there any way to create a color with a script that does not goes to the swatch palette? In Indesign it is possible to create directly a color and put it to a item, i would like to create a color that is hidden for the user without myDoc.colors.add().
Thanks,
Asci

You'll need to do something like get the name of every swatch, then loop through doing a comparison inside an "ignoring case" construct. Something like this: tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3" tell document 1 set colorNames to name of swatches whose name is not "" ignoring case repeat with i from 1 to count of colorNames if item i of colorNames = "White" then delete swatch (item i of colorNames) replacing with swatch "Paper" end if end repeat end ignoring end tell end tell -- Shane Stanley <[email protected]> AppleScript Pro Florida, April 2009 <a href=http://scriptingmatters.com/aspro>
