CS6 printer profiles

CS6 does not reconize printer profiles used in cs5, why and how is this fixed?

Thanks, Jeff. This issue goes far beyond Adobe. I'm trying to resolve colorspace problems that get even more confusing when there are multiple web pages or other documents at multiple websites, including software companies and camera companies that have conflicting information for the same thing. I don't want to add something else into the mix that may make things worse. Unless the user can have the settings that they know worked on their device to rely on as a point of reference to make controlled changes to accommodate a software change, it's like taking two handfulls of M&Ms to represent various colorspaces in three places in a program and using trial and error to figure out which two or three colors to use and in which order. I think of this as informative dialog and not venting.
Update: After burning through another color ink cartridge and 20 more sheets of Kodak glossy photo paper, I managed to come up with a combination of profiles and colorspaces that are acceptable with the Kodak ESP9 printer in PS CS6. While Adobe RGB should work from the Nikon D7000 JPEG for a larger color gamut, with the Kodak printer, the colors were dull. Went back to sRGB in the camera and sRGB IEC61966-2.1 for the working RGB profile. In this printer, color management cannot be disabled in the printer itself, so I selected Adobe RGB. In the PS Print Settings Color Management, PS Manages Colors,  and the Printer Profile is Beta RGB (Adobe RGB is not an available choice). After increasing the photo brightness to about +20, the contrast slightly, and increasing the shadows setting to bring out the shadowed areas somewhat, the printed photo is a close match to the on-screen image on the calibrated LED monitor. When I tried CIE RGB, the colors were more saturated but had too much blue. Maybe this will help others.

  • Print profiles no longer working correctly with CS6 64bit to my Epson R2880

    Hi, until recently, my print profiles were working correctly  with CS6 64bit (Win 7 ultimate 64) to my Epson R2880, they now print washed out/desaturated  but the same profiles still print correctly using Lightroom 4. has there  been an update that could have affected things or are there any other  suggestion? Thanks, Dave.

    Hi,
    I hope someone can help!
    I recently bought my first Mac, a great MacBook Pro which I love!
    I use Lightroom3 and Photoshop CS5 to edit photos and now want to print from my Epson R1800.
    I found that the prints initially came off very dark & contrasty, so I calibrated both the MBP screen and my Samsung SuncMaster 245B monitor with my Spyder2 and the Colorvision software.
    Even after establishing colour profiles for both screens, the printed image was still far darker and "heavier" than that shown on screen. This was the same whether printing from LR3 or from the Mac Preview app (it was worth trying I thought!).
    So searching for help on the web I came across this thread and now wonder whether I should uninstall my driver (6.57) and reinstall the printer with 6.23.
    Stephen did you find that this worked - did PS CS5 behave after that?
    Of course I'm trying to print some work soon and in desperation could adjust every (edited) image by brightening & reducing contrast, however with dozens to print it seems crazy to do that, not to mention wrong!
    Thanks for any help!

  • Printer profiles not recognised in Photoshop CS6 print dialogue

    Note that the Illustrator, Indesign and Acrobat print dialogues see all my (custom) printer profiles.
    Even Photoshop sees them in the Apply Profile and Convert to Profile dialogues: just not when trying to print.
    Is this a known problem?

  • CS6 Photoshop - No Printer Profiles

    I have Photoshop CS6 running on WIndows 7 64bit.   When I go to the print menu my HP Photosmart 8250 printer is selected.  However, there are no printer profiles listed.  No HP or any other printer profiles.   The profiles listed are e-RGB, various Fujifilm, Kodak film, etc.   The pictures are assigned to Adobe RGC (1998).
    Is the problem because Photoshop does not recognize the HP Photosmart 8250 or is something else wrong?   The printer worked fine through Photoshop CS 5.5.
    Is there a way toI define a custom printer profile?
    Thanks for the help.

    I was having the same issue with all of CS3 and Snow Leopard.  So thanks for the tip on where they need to be located.  Instead of doing your alias trick, I just made copies inside the Adobe Color folder.  That works so far with Illustrator.  Haven't tried the other programs yet.  Again, thanks for posting this!

  • When Soft Proofing in LR4 most of my loaded printer profiles are not visible

    I am running LR4 and CS6 on an HP desktop with 4Gig Ram, Win 7 Home, Profiled Monitor using DataColor
    In CS6, all my loaded ICC printer profiles appear when setting up the soft proofing...
    In LR4, most of the profiles do not appear...
    The problem is that I print to an Epson 7600 CMYK printer with UltraChrome Ink and mostly on Canvas so I need to proof for that environment.

    Not sure what makes you think the Epson 7600 is a CMYK printer, but it isn't. You may be running a CMYK RIP attached to it, but the printer accepts RGB data, not CMYK. The only reason I can think of needing to profile in CMYK would be if you were using profiles generated for a press. I'm sure there may be others, but can't think of one off the top of my head.
    Well you can send either RGB or CMYK to the printer but you have to first setup the proper driver for either. Unless you are proofing (make my Epson simulate a press sheet), I can’t think of any reason to send it CMYK data. The limitation is the driver in terms of what you send it. With a 3rd party driver (might be a RIP, might not) it can be possible to send CMYK data to the Epson. Epson bundles the ColorBurst product for this purpose (press simulation, use of CMYK profiles).
    Since the Lightroom path is solely RGB, it can’t do anything with CMYK data. So the profiles are filtered out of the list. And don’t expect this to change anytime soon or ever. If CMYK is your game, well you need Photoshop or some other application to handle this data. And you’ll need another driver. So in context of this post, CMYK is simply not a possibility and that is why the profiles are not accessible.

  • No Canon printer profiles in CS5

    Canon Printer Profiles do not appear after upgrading to Mountain Lion.
    I upgraded the Canon drivers, still no success.
    Canon techs suggested that I had to upgrade my CS5 to run with Mountain Lion.
    I've tried to find just where one would find the upgrade, again no success.
    I can also not chat with Adobe, probably because I don't have CS6.
    Can anyone guide me to where I might find where to upgrade CS5?
    Thank you

    greg sahli, I'll bring you up to date.
    "What puzzles me is why OS 10.8 only affected the Canon profiles, and didn't interfer with all the others." prompted me to call Canon again. We reinsalled the drivers, again without success.
    The Tech lady, unsure of the solution, suggested I print with the printer managing color
    When I told her I was able select the Canon paper I use, she said that would be the profile.
    There aren't any Canon profiles in the Library>Printer>Canon folder.
    Apparently, with Mountain Lion, the old Canon profiles are not loaded.
    At any rate, I printed a photo using the printer to manage color and got some great results.
    That's the answer to 2 days work.
    I wish to thank you for your efforts and guidance in helping solve my problem.
    Have a nice summer.

  • Photoshop CS6 Printing whites as yellows

    When printing from photoshop CS6 whites are coming out as yellows.
    I print as follows;
    Color Handling: Photoshop Manages Colors
    Printer Profile: EPSON Stylus Pro 4800
    Normal Printing
    Rendering Intent: Absolute Colorimetric
    (I need these settings as I print from sepcific palettes)
    In Print settings I print on Custom Mode with no color adjustment.
    I have recently upgraded to Photoshop CS6 and believe there must be an option somewhere to do with white handling I've missed.
    Any advise would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

    Why are you using absolute colorimetric? Are you trying to proof printing on a paper that is much more yellow than what you are printing on?
    If you are not trying to proof printing on another paper, use Relative Colorimetric.

  • How do you use an outside Lab ICC Printer Profile in PSE 12?

    I have an image that I scanned in from an old print then I edited it using PSE-12. Now that I've completed the editing and retouching I plan to have the image printed by an outside that has the ability to read ICC Printer Profiles designed for their printers embedded in the image. My proble is I don't know how to add a particular ICC Printer Profile to a image worked on in PSE-12. If I was using Lightroom or PS-CS5 or 6 there is a straight forward way to accomplish this goal.
    Is there any way to accomplish the same objective when using PSE-12?

    Thanks MichelBParis.  I must be getting old (I'm 78) and I completely missed that when I was in Dry Creek Photo. In fact that is where I get all of my ICC Printer Profiles from when I'm using either Lightroom or Photoshop CS. What I'm doing is tutoring a friend on the use of PSE-12 (although I do own a copy for my own use) and I was trying to set him up to use ICC Printer Profiles and avoid letting the labs do "Automatic Color Adjust). I had many images ruined in the past just because the lab did an automatic color adjust until an operator schooled me on what was happening. I'm now a part time photographer and I never send an image to be printed without first making sure I have an applicable ICC Printer Profile embedded. and request the lab to turn off their automatic color adjustment.
    Thanks again for the perfect solution.

  • Printer profiles in templates

    I've just spent most of the afternoon trying to resolve a problem.
    My question is does any one know if the printer profile in " User Templates" overrides the one selected in the image settings column.
    The reason I ask is that I've been trying to match 2 print sizes in LR without much success. The smaller ones match the screen but the larger one's don't. Both were printed from my own designed templates.Nothing complicated just some custom sizes. Switching to CS3 I printed the larger prints and got a perfect match.
    In frustration I used one of the LR print templates to see what would happen. Guess what I got the match I was looking for.
    Not wishing to make the mistake again I deleted the offending template before it occurred to me to check the profile associated with it.
    Regrettably I couldn't check what printer profile was included, hence my question

    When you print from iPhoto you can select the paper type, such as Archival Matt, and that Epson profile will be used. The Epson R300 Standard is merely a description of the printer you are using. This is the same behavior as in Photoshop. Where you might see a difference is in the way Photoshop displays the image on screen, based on your monitor profile and color settings. iPhoto is not really using a source profile for display purposes, other than the camera sRGB (assuming you're using a digital camera that uses sRGB. So if you edit an image in iPhoto—brightness, contrast, etc) it may apper different on screen and cause you to make changes that will result in a unsatisfactory print.

  • Unable to load icm printer profiles in Lightroom 5

    I am unable to access correctly loaded RGB printer profiles in Lightroom 5. 
    In the print module when color management profile "Other" is selected no loaded profiles appear; and Lightroom usually freezes.
    Using Photoshop v6 on same computer I can access all loaded printer profiles. I have reloaded LR5.
    Does anyone have a solution or work-around for this problem?

    The "Include Display Profiles" checkbox is at the bottom of the list that comes up if you click "Other..." in the Lightroom Print Job panel. If this is the point where Lightroom freezes you won't get to it of course. So then the question is what prevents Lightroom from loading that list?  Maybe someone else has suggestions, so hang on for a while.
    Anyway, whatever the extension, the point is that the profile in question has to be the correct one for that particular printer/paper/ink combination. Apologies if this is stating the obvious, but you don't really have a choice between several, you just pick the right one. They install with the printer driver and are named for instance "Epson <model> Premium Semigloss" and so on, different profiles for different paper types.
    Or you can make your own profiles. I believe the ColorMunki, for one, lets you create printer profiles as well as monitor profiles.

  • Printer profiles in lightroom

    i own an epson 4000 pro printer when i go to the print tab of lightroom i cannot set printer profiles.

    I am having great difficulty with printer (Epsom Stylus r320) colour reproduction...what I see on my calibrated screen does not appear true on the printed paper image....I have tried to download various ICC profiles from Epsom but they all (5 of them) give too dark an image...compensating in the develop module sort of helps, but it destroys the whole idea of the WYSIWYG aspect of working in Lightroom....any hints out there for this dilemma?

  • Printer Profiles in Lightroom 4

    I have a Mac Mini and Lightroom 4.  I downloaded printer profiles from a local lab but don't know how to get Lightroom to recognize them for soft proofing and printing.

    You need to put them in the correct location for the system to pick them up. This is in /Library/ColorSync/Profiles/ or in ~/Library/ColorSync/Profiles. After you put the profile there, restart Lightroom and they will show up when you select other in the profile dialogs in Lightroom. Unfortunately in the last versions of Mac OS X, the finder hides these folders by default. Simply go into the Go Menu and select "Go to Folder" or hit Shift-command-G and type the above locations. The drag the profiles in the resulting finder window. If you're the only user on the machine either location is fine.

  • Help not locating printer profile

    2. Re: How to install Epson ICC profiles using Photoshop CC?
    Mark Goodwin LRPS Aug 28, 2014 4:14 PM
    I had a problem and needed to upload a HP Printer Profile.I down loaded it from the site then opened and placed in the Mac: Library/ColourSync/Profiles folder. I then restarted the computer and restored PS CC separately. I was able to find the profile under the View>Custom> drop down and select it. But when I came to the print stage the profile was not to be found in PD Print. I also trued installing the profile  via Username/Library?ColourSync?Profile folder. But still no luckHelp please?

    I thought I had solved the problem when I came across a new HP App that specifically claimed to solve the problem people were having with iPrint: "HP ePrint Home & Biz", but that does not work either.  It gets as far as registering the App but then will not complete the verification (just will not open HP ePrintercenter.com).  But in that case I think the problem is that my printer (Photosmart C7280) does not have the eprint capability.  But it IS listed as compatible with the iPrint App (http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/ePrint-Print-Apps-Mobile/hp-iprint-app-help-not-finding-printer/m-p/827... )
    Must I give up?

  • Set "Scale To Fit Media" as default in Photoshop CS6 print settings on OSX

    Quite frequently my boss will email 10 to 30 images to me to print from his camera. Is there a way to setup Photoshop CS6 print settings so that "Scale To Fit Media" is the default. I tried to create an action and then through Bridge select a folder and Batch send the files to Open-Print-Close. Since images are never received 8.5"x11" it would be convenient to have this as a default. Since the print settings revert, or aren't defaulting to "settings last used", my batch attempt was unsuccessful. I know I could edit my action to adjust image size to page dimensions, but thought a way to edit the Print settings default must be out there somewhere. (Using MacBook Pro OSX 10.8.4) Any Suggestions?

    Unfortunately "Scale to Fit Media" isn't a toggle. But let's try a workaround.
    You can create an Image Size action where you will scale the picture to either 8.5 inches wide or 11 inches high, whichever works best for you. First be sure "resampling" is turned off under Image > Image Size.
    You would open an iimage, then create an new action, title it "Letter 11 inches" and that's when the recording starts.
    Enter 11 inches as the Height, click OK and then stop recording.
    This is a quick and dirty action and assumes all pictures are portrait and not landscape. It may just work for you.
    You should be able to include it in your batch processing.

  • Color management/print profile setting in LR2

    I tried to set a custom print profile in the LR2 Print Module. Specifically, I picked print to JPEG and under "Color Management" I picked "Profile/Other. When I pick other, an empty pick panel pops up. I use Vista 32 and under "\Windows\system32\spool\drivers\color" there are lots of ICC profiles available. How do I point LR2 to the location where Vista stores these profiles?

    franz:
    >As described in my opening problem description, I would like to print to JPEG and using the new LR2 ICC profile option provided under "Color Management" / "Profile/Other" and pick an ICC profile.
    I'm not sure what the solution may be. When I chose to print to a .jpg file I see four profiles show up: sRGB, Adobe RGB, and Pro Photo RGB in addition to my normal printer profile. If I chose 'Other' then I see all of the profiles in C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\color. If I deselect 'Include Display Profiles' then I only see those profiles associated with my default printer. I know that sRGB and Adobe RGB are installed by the disk that installed my V500 scanner drivers, but those are 'generic' files and may also have been installed by other driver software.
    Note, none of the profiles in that folder were copied there by me. All 31 were installed either by a printer driver installation, monitor installation, or installation of my Epson V500 scanner.
    Quite possibly some were there after I installed the system but before I installed any drivers--I can't say for sure because I never looked at that folder before installing drivers.
