Help with ICC Profiles

I have downloaded and installed ICC profiles (in Library/ColorSync/Profiles) for several Hahnemuller papers. The ICC profile appears in the Aperture Print dialogue box under ColorSync Profile. But when I hit print and the Epson 2400 dialog box comes up I can't choose it under Presets or Media Type.
How do I get these profiles to appear in the print dialog box?
Thanks, Susan

the Hahnemuehle paper that you purchased should have a recommended setting for the media type. for instance, for the Photo Rag papers you want to set the media type to Epson Velvet Fine art. other papers (like the fine art pearl) use other media types. also, make sure you have the proper type of black in installed in the printer (matte black vs. photo black) for your paper type.
all of this information is detailed at the Hahnemuehle web site:

good luck,

  • Possible solution for problems printing with ICC profiles - esp. R2400

    (N.B. This is long because I've decided to go in to details about the background of the problem etc.. Also note that whilst my experience is with the Epson R2400, anyone with problems printing using ICC profiles in Aperture may find this post helpful, as will be explained further down the post.)
    Ok, here's the situation. I've been an Aperture user for over a year, and an R2400 owner for half a year. In that time I have done a huge amount of experimenting, but I've never managed to get Aperture to work perfectly with Epson's 'premium' R2400 ICC profiles - the ones you can download from their site which are better than the ones provided 'in the box'. This hasn't been too big a deal because, in fact, the R2400 does a rather good job just set to 'System Managed' in Aperture and 'Epson Vivid' with a gamma of 1.8 in the printer driver. Nevertheless, it really annoyed me that something that should work wasn't, which is why I've spent a lot of time trying to figure out what's going on. Having said that, I have come across a method which will give you pretty good prints out of your Epson R2400 using the premium profiles in Aperture - it's not perfect, but it's the best you're going to get if you want to use those profiles in Aperture. I understand the words 'it's not perfect' aren't what photography experts would probably want to hear, however, I have seen a few anguished posts from R2400 owners in here before, so I think some people may find it useful.
    The whole reason why Aperture is hopeless at using the R2400's premium profiles is because - unusually - their default rendering intent is set to 'relative colorimetric' rather than 'perceptual'. You might say 'but that's good - it means you get more accurate colours!', and if you do, you're right... however, there's a snag. To get an image to reproduce well using Epson's premium profiles and relative colorimetric rendering, you really need to use black point compensation. This is where the trouble lies: Aperture's black point compensation is diabolical to the point of being unusable when used with relative colorimetric rendering - I feel I need to be awarded compensation every time I've ever tempted to use the setting. So because BPC in Aperture is unusable, that effectively makes the premium profiles unusable too, because Aperture always uses the default rendering intent specified in the profile.
    The solution? Use perceptual rendering instead. Ok, so you can't change the rendering intent in Aperture, which makes that sound a tad difficult. However, as I said in the above paragraph, Aperture always obeys the default rendering intent specified in the profile... so you can see where we're going with this: we need to change the ICC profiles' default rendering intent from 'relative colorimetric' to 'perceptual'. I did some digging around and found one or two expensive pieces of software that could do that... but then I found that, lo and behold, the Mac OS has a command-line utility which can do the job for us, for precisely £0.00. It's called SIPS or 'Scriptable Image Processing System', and you can find out some information about it here: http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn/tn2035.html#TNTAG58 For those who don't like reading technical jargon however, here's what you need to do to convert a profile's rendering intent. First go to terminal, then type in the following command:
    sips -s renderingIntent perceptual
    Do not press 'enter' yet. Instead, add a space after 'perceptual', find the ICC profile you want to modify, and click and drag it into the terminal window. You should then find that your command looks something like this:
    sips -s renderingIntent perceptual /Users/yourname/folder/RandomProfile.ICC
    At which point you can then press 'enter', and the command will execute, giving you an ICC profile which will now make Aperture use perceptual rendering.
    There is just one further thing to be aware of after doing this: for some crazy reason, you then need to turn on BPC in Aperture for the prints to come out as good as possible. Black point compensation shouldn't make any difference when using perceptual rendering as the idea of perceptual is that it takes account of things like that anyway, however, in Aperture BPC does make a difference, so remember to turn it on to get a half decent print. In general, I find that prints made using this setup come out pretty well; they almost perfectly match prints made using the profiles with a perceptual intent in Photoshop Elements, except for the fact that Aperture blocks up the shadows a bit more than Photoshop. However, if you can live with that, you might find this is quite a workable solution.
    Now, I said near the beginning of this post that all the above can apply to other printers too. Most printer profiles have 'perceptual' set as their default rendering intent, in which case everything I've just said won't be of much help. However, If you are reading this because you're having problems with ICC profiles in Aperture, but you don't use an Epson R2400, find your problematic ICC profile, double-click on it, and take a look at the window that opens: specifically, at the 'Rendering Intent' the window mentions. If it doesn't say 'Perceptual' then it may well be worth trying the steps I've outlined in this post to set it to perceptual, to see if doing so produces an improvement when using the profile in Aperture.
    Finally, just one note of caution: if you decide to try out the steps I've detailed above on a paid-for custom-made profile, please back your profile up before messing with it. I haven't experienced any problems when using SIPS to change a profile's rendering intent, but I obviously can't guarantee that it won't do something weird and corrupt your expensive custom-made profile.
    If you have any questions, feel free to ask, although (contrary to any impression I may give) I am not a colour-management expert; I'm just someone who doesn't give up when they have a problem that should be solvable.

  • Placing a PDF with ICC profile embedded

    If I place a PDF with a ICC profile embedded, InDesign doesn't take in consideration it.
    In the case that the Indd colour workspace is different from the ICC embedded in the PDF, when I export to PDF the color conversion is wrong.
    For example the PDF embedded ICC profile is US webcoated (Swop), the Indd workspace is Iso Coated L39 v2 and I want export to PDF with conversion to PSO lwc improved,
    the conversion that I get is wrong.With an image with the ICC pofile embedded the conversion is ok.
    does anyone know how it works?

    With regards to placing PDF/X files in either InDesign or Illustrator ...
    Neither InDesign nor Illustrator currently do anything whatsoever with the Output Intent ICC profile in a PDF/X file. It is totally ignored. In PDF/X-1a files, there is no other color mangement and as such, all objects are either DeviceCMYK or DeviceGray or spot colors. The objects are imported as CMYK or spot color values assuming the document's default CMYK color space. Thus, if you place a PDF/X-1a file with a profile for Gracol and your InDesign document's default color space is US Web Coated SWOP, those CMYK colors in the PDF/X-1a will be brought in as-is but interpreted as is they were US Web Coated SWOP.
    The picture becomes a bit more complex for PDF/X-4. All untagged CMYK objects in a PDF/X-4 file are assumed to have the color space of the embedded Output Intent ICC profile. CMYK content in PDF/X-4 that uses a CMYK color space must be explicitly tagged as such and have an embedded profile for such color spaces. Ironically, all CMYK content that matches the color space of the Output Intent ICC profile must be specified as DeviceCMYK per the PDF/X-4 specification (there is a long story about why that is the case). When PDF/X-4 is placed in InDesign or Illustrator, similar to the case of PDF/X-1a, the Output Intent ICC profile is indeed ignored and DeviceCMYK colors assume the document's default CMYK color space. All explictly tagged with ICC profile CMYK and RGB objects in PDF/X-4 maintain such tagging when placed within an InDesign or Illustrator document and are either preserved on PDF export/save or converted based on the PDF export/save options specified.
    Is this a problem? Yes, I believe so. I am in the process of looking at what can be done to improve the PDF/X placement capability in the future so that this problem is ameliorated.

  • Prepress query about supplied PDFs with ICC profiles

    Hello please help
    Working at a print company we get a lot of print ready PDFs supplied
    We have our own press colour profile which we ideally apply to all PDFs
    My question is what to do with a supplied PDF which contains a none standard ICC profile on either the full PDF or embedded in the images or text.
    Is there an industry standard for changing the colour profile on CMYK images?
    We can strip the ICC profile using pitstop, but doesn't this create problems with images that have been converted from RGB to CMYK using under colour removal etc?
    If we would just convert the total PDF into our printing colour profile (by placing it into indesign or using distiller) it tends to mess up images which are already CMYK with an embedded ICC profile.
    Any help would be appreciated, thank you very much

    Thanks for your reply, we have actually been advised not to use this setting on our RIP. We are trying to get in contact with our RIP supplier tech guy to sort out why we aren't using this, to me it feels like this would maybe save us a lot of hassle yes. I will get back when we know more, thanks!

  • Please help with paper profiles

    I'm trying to set a paper profile I use with my canon i560 printer. I set the profile under printing preferences where I set the print quality, color adjustments and intensity then add to the profile tab under printing preferences. Where I seem to have my problem is I can't seem to bring up this profile in the color management tab in printer properties where lightroom should be able to recognise it under color managed by lightroom,,,,,Bob

    Bob, if I understand correctly you've set up a media profile for the paper in the Canon print driver, correct? This is different to the profile selectable in Lightroom's "Print Job" properties, which refers to the output profile (*.icc) for the selected paper. If you don't already have one for the Ilford Smooth Gloss paper it's freely available from the Ilford web site.
    To set up a print template within Lightroom specific to this paper, select the image settings, layout and print job options (including the output .icc profile for the Ilford paper if managing the colour via LR) as required, then press the "Print Settings..." button. The Canon printer driver dialogue will open, and from that load the profile you created for the Ilford Smooth Gloss paper. Click "OK" to exit. Now.... on the PC there's also a "Page Setup..." button which also opens the printer driver dialogue. Your profile settings should still be showing in that - check everything's as expected and click "OK" to exit. Now click the "Add" button below the Template Browser and give your new template a useful name. It will now use your selected printer driver profile by default.
    I hope this is of help to you. If you use more than one size and type of paper then Print Templates are a real boon.

  • LR crashes when managing printer with ICC profile

    Hi,
    I'm printing on an Olympus P-11 thermic printer, using a custom ICC profile (Mac OS X). This works perfectly with all versions of Photoshop, including CS3. LightRoom just crashes when trying to use this profile (or any other profile)...
    extract from crashlog :
    Version: Adobe Lightroom 1.0 (310575)
    PID: 622
    Thread: 0

    I've tried this on two different computers (Apple G4 and G5), one runing an english version of LR, the other running a french localized version. Same result, and Photoshop prints flawlessly on both...
    The problem is definitely in LR.

    Nicolas,
    I have exactly the same problem on a quad G5, Os X 10.4.9. Lr crashes when trying to use an ICC profile to print to a networked HP B9180. Printing using 'Managed by Printer' doesn't cause a crash (but is obviously not a workaround, due to the less favourable colour output). Deleting preferences and re-creating the library doesn't help.
    My crash log looks the same as the snippet you posted. I have filed a bug report.
    However after I filed the report, I noticed that I also get the following message in the Console which may be of some diagnostic value (is there anyway I can add this info to my original bug report?):
    Adobe Lightroom[558] InkChecker could not launch , launch path not accessible

  • Batch automation on SaveforWeb failing to deal with ICC profiles (PS CS3)

    I am using Photoshop Creative Suite 3 on a 64 bit windows machine.
    I am working on content for a website.
    Starting with a JPEG image I create an Action with the following steps
    Save for Web and Devices
    In the preset options I check the ICC profiles box
    I choose a location to save to.
    End of Action.
    This new JPEG file looks fine in Explorer, in Photoshop, and uploaded using my provider's standard uploader into a regular CMS site.
    As I have several hundred photos to process, next I run
    Automate
    Batch
    Using the Action created above
    Save and Close
    The files create fine, with the expected file name formats (the original images have spaces in the file names, the new ones in the new folder have hyphens between words)
    The JPEG files look fine in Explorer and in Photoshop, and in the thumbnail while they are uploading. As soon as they are uploaded however the colour is stripped out and the image goes a rubbishy green hue.
    I have checked the Action using the single steps and it looks okay.
    I would be very grateful if anyone can advise how I might be able to do this job using an automated batch?
    For what it's worth I've inserted both images here where they both look fine. The third image below is a screenshot from them both side by side once uploaded into the website. My website provider is saying that this is an entirely Photoshop issue so they cannot help.

    That second example is a ProPhoto file viewed without color management. Always convert to sRGB for web, because that displays roughly correctly even in a non-color managed web browser.
    Then, for color managed browsers like Firefox and Safari, you should also embed the profile. Both are set in the SFW dialog:
    Web browser color management is all over the map, and a separate subject. You should always assume that the files will be viewed without color management, and prepare for both. In short: convert to sRGB > embed the profile. That's the best you can do.

  • Is printing with ICC profile usable in CS5 and Mac Intel ?

    Hi all,
    I have an Epson Stylus Color 2100 (2200 in USA) which works perfectly in CS3 with a Power Mac G5. I have an iMac (Mac OS 10.6.4) and can't print with my Epson : everything get out greenish when I try to let Photoshop manage color. If I the printer manage color it's ok but since I work with a ColorMunki.... I would prefer to work with my profiles ! Has anyone any ideas ? Thanks for your help.

    Just for your info : there is no solution to my problem (greenish prints) it is a CS5 running SnowLeopard and Epson driver problem.
    I have not seen this issue with the new Epson drivers for the 9600, except when I did not completely remove old drivers.
    For details (and a workaround -not a solution-) you can see Adobe Tech. Note: No color management option missing when printing in Photoshop CS5 http://kb2.abobe.com/cps/834/cpsid_83497.html and for more details you can read in the Luminous Landscape Forums the topics about that ( http://www.luminous-landscape.com/tutorials/solving.shtml
    and http://www.luminous-landscape.com/forum/index.php?topic=43352.0
    By far I am not the only one with this problem. I have to wait for the promised Adobe printer Module (which will be available in Adobe Tech Labs someday).
    I have tried to install CS3 on SnowLeopard but with no printing difference hence I will have to print with my G5 and CS3....
    I found that with SL that it was best to use sRGB as the assigned  profile in the workaround, but this did not produce as good a profile as  printing a no CM target with InDesign to create the profile.
    By far I am not the only one with this problem. I have to wait for the promised Adobe printer Module (which will be available in Adobe Tech Labs someday).
    Removing "No Color Management" from CS5 was just a really dumb move by Adobe just because some Epson drivers were not written correctly.  O' and by the way Adobe then releases the new version of Elements with "No Color Management" as an option. So is Adobe going to update CS5 and include the "No Color Management" option? Must be some reason after all this time they have not released the much promised application to print unmanaged targets.
    I have tried to install CS3 on SnowLeopard but with no printing difference hence I will have to print with my G5 and CS3....
    CS3 was one strange beast when it came to printing. Seems it had elements of both Apple printing paths and depending on what OS version you are using you will get different results.  I have no trust what so ever printing from CS3. Now CS4 on the other hand prints just fine, and even prints the "No Color Management" option  just fine with correct drivers, and that includes the 8.19 driver for the 9600.

  • Printing with ICC profiles using CS4

    I recently upgraded my MAC Mini to Mavericks.  My Photoshop  CS4 no longer prints using ICC profiles.  It prints using "printer controls' just fine.

    Many printer drivers (especially Epson) are having problems with printing on MacOS 10.9. Contact the printer maker to see if they have updated drivers available.

  • Need help with Color Profiles between Photoshop and iPhoto

    Hey guys, I'm a photographer and have always used Photoshop in comination with iPhoto. I am having great difficulty lately with color profiles randomly changing within albums of pictures. I need all of my images to be in sRGB, but some somehow end up in Adobe RGB. It seems to happen at random. Apple seems to think it's an Adobe problem. Adobe isn't sure what to do. Anybody aware of any known issues between CS5 and iPhoto using OS 10.8.4 with regard to color profiles and how to fix them?

    From the javax_imageio_jpeg_image_1.0 specification:
    If an Adobe APP14 marker segment is present, the colorspace is determined by consulting the transform flag. The transform flag takes one of three values:
    2 - The image is encoded as YCCK (implicitly converted from CMYK on encoding).
    1 - The image is encoded as YCbCr (implicitly converted from RGB on encoding).
    0 - Unknown. 3-channel images are assumed to be RGB, 4-channel images are assumed to be CMYK.What it's talking about is the metadata returned from ImageReader#getImageMetadata. For jpeg's, it has the following structure.
    javax_imageio_jpeg_imageio_1.0
         JPEGVariety
              app0JFIF
                   app2ICC (if present, user object is ICC_Profile)
         markerSequence
              app14Adobe
                   transform Value (0, 1, or 2)Basically if the transform value is 2 then it's YCCK->CMYK->RGB. If the transform value is 1, then it's YCC->RGB. If the transform value is 0, then it's CMYK->RGB if the raster has 4 bands, otherwise it's already in RGB if it has 3 bands.
    The problem is that the default JPEGImageReader that comes with installing java is buggy. It usually throws an exception if you try to read the metadata of a cmyk jpeg. So the bad news is that you're sort of out of luck on that front.
    The good news is that Sun did create a jpeg reader that can read any jpeg, including a cmyk one. It's called the CLibJPEGImageReader and you get it with installing JAI-ImageIO - http://download.java.net/media/jai-imageio/builds/release/1.1/ . It's a 'natively' accelerated ImageReader that doesn't have all the bells and whisles of your standard ImageReader. It can't read rasters, the writer can't write custom metadata, but it's fast and can read essentially all jpegs.

  • Newbie needs help with color profiles

    somewhat new to digital photography and send most of my stuff to local lab (Costco) when needing to print. I have a mac, with Leopard, and use Lightroom to export to jpgs and upload to the lab site.
    Simple enough, but I noticed their site had the icc's available to download. My intent is for lightroom to rendor and export the photos the way their lab will print them.
    Why bother to really develop the picture to my liking if it is just going to print differently.
    I dont use PS and not sure how I can, if at all, utilize the color profiles the lab provides in LR.
    Sorry if I am not making sense, any and all help is appreciated from you really smart people:)
    Thanks

    See http://lagemaat.blogspot.com/2007/12/mildly-lightroom-workflow-for-printing.html
    You can now also use the
    LR/mogrify plugin to convert to any profile you want. Much quicker than the photoshop route.
    Note that there is no reason to do this if you do not hardware calibrate your monitor. Otherwise sending them sRGB is more than good enough. On a Mac, make absolutely sure that you at least software calibrate your monitor. See http://www.computer-darkroom.com/colorsync-display/colorsync_1.htm
    Doing this will already improve it quite a bit, but there is no substitute for hardware calibration.

  • Help with colour profiles and wide gamut monitor

    Hi there,
    I know this issue must crop up a lot due to its confusing nature but I would really appreciate it if someone could explain what settings I should be using in Photoshop to get accurate colours. I had a look around and couldn't find any other discussions that answered this exactly.
    My set up is a Dell 2408WFP monitor which is wide-gamut. I have calibrated this using a huey Pro calibrator (therefore have an accurate system colour profile). My photos are in Canon sRGB space, set by Digital Photo Professional (obviously easily changed if need be).
    What I would like is to be able to preview what my photos will look like on a standard sRGB display. When I open a photo in Photoshop with all the settings on their default it looks extremely washed out, very low contrast and saturation. This is nothing like what the photos look like outside of Photoshop, and also not what the photos look like on other (normal gamut) displays. I have tried using the "proof colours" settings. When I have "proof setup" set to Internet Standard sRGB the colours look dreadful, oranges become blood-red, definitely not what I am getting when I view the image on a standard monitor. If I have it set to Monitor RGB then I get colours that look like my monitor outside of Photoshop -- this is the closest out of the three to the result I am actually getting on standard gamut displays. However I know it is not accurate because I know my monitor is wide gamut and therefore more has more contrast (and this is the case).
    So what combination of photo colour space, proof colour space, and proof colours settings should I be using? My main priority is just the Joe Average using his TN panel monitor on facebook, I accept that on my monitor they will look slightly different. Settings for print don't concern me at the moment.
    Thanks for the help. To anyone who will suggest that I read up on colour profiles... I have, and I understand them to an extent, but there are so many variables here that I am getting lost (monitor profile, photo profile, photoshop settings, DPP settings, faststone viewer's settings, browser's lack of awareness...)

    You have no idea. 
    What I'm reading is that you want Photoshop, with its color management enabled, to display your sRGB photos as they would be seen on a true sRGB monitor - i.e., accurately.
    Something to always keep in mind, when everything's set right and working properly:  Your sRGB image displayed on your wide gamut monitor without color management (e.g., by Internet Explorer) will look bolder and brighter (more color-saturated) than the same image displayed in Photoshop with color-management.  There is no getting around this, because the sRGB profile is not equivalent to the monitor profile.  Do not expect them to look the same.
    It's hard, without being there and seeing what you're seeing, to judge whether your sRGB images are undersaturated compared to what's seen on other monitors.  I do know, as one with sRGB monitors myself, that images can look quite vibrant and alive in the sRGB color space.
    What we can't know is whether your judgment that your color-managed sRGB images are undersaturated is correct in an absolute sense, or whether you're just feeling the difference between seeing them on your monitor in non-color-managed apps and Photoshop.
    Photoshop normally does its color management like this:  It combines the information from the color profile in your document with the color profile of the monitor, which it retrieves from a standard place in Windows, and creates a transform used to display the colors.
    To have it do this you would NOT want the Proof Colors setting enabled.  It is the default behavior.
    -Noel
    P.S., I don't recall whether DPP is color-managed, but you might consider using Photoshop's raw converter, which definitely shows color-managed output, per the settings I described above.
    P.P.S.,  Your calibrator/profiler should have put the monitor profile in the proper place and set all the proper stuff up in Windows.  Is it specifically listed as compatible with the version of Windows you're running?

  • Beginner - need help with custom profiles

    I've got 30-day demo versions of both Aperture and Lightroom trying to work out which is best for printing using custom profiles I've had done for a selection of textured art papers for use on my Epson R2400. I've read the printing documentation for both products.
    In Aperture, I select print from the menu and open the print dialogue window. Then I open the printer settings window choosing the correct media and switching off Epson 'Color Adjustment' and saving the settings. Then I'm selecting my color profile from Aperture's 'ColorSync Profile' option in the print window and making sure 'Black Point Compensation' is selected. Then I'm pressing print.
    In Lightroom 2, I select print from the menu and scroll down to the 'Color Management' tab in the print module. Here I'm choosing my custom profile from the drop down list and setting rendering intent as 'Perceptual'. On clicking the print button the default print window opens and I'm switching off Epson 'Color Adjustment' and selecting my preferred paper type. Then I'm pressing print.
    Now I will admit that I'm new to printing with profiles and a complete newbie to Aperture and Lightroom. However, my prints from Lightroom are absolutely perfect, but colours are differing in Aperture prints. In particular, prints are slightly lighter and washed-out. I'm wondering if I might be missing a step somewhere in Aperture? It seems strange that both applications follow roughly the same print procedure yet I'm getting different results using the same profiles and images. I'd much rather use Aperture so I'm trying to seek an explanation for the change in colors.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    A lot of people including me have had problems in this area. There may have been some problems but in my case I was so absorbed in trying different solutions it is hard to say what worked when.
    This works for me using an HP 9180:
    1. In the View drop down select Printing Profile and choose your paper. This step is not critical but can be helpful.
    2. select Print Image and we will work through the menu in sequence.
    3. Select your printer
    4. Click on Print settings
    Click on the Cover Page arrows and you will be given a number of other choices. Select Paper Type/Quality. Select your paper and possibly adjust the other values but generally I leave these alone unless i specifically want Borderless printing.
    Click save
    5. back on the print menu select paper size. I usually select best fit next.
    6. Select Colorsync Profile and again select your paper.
    7. Keep Black Point clicked on.
    8. I find that I need to set my Gamma between 1.10 and 1.20.
    9. I usually click on the Loupe and check to see if Sharpening is needed.
    10. Adjust scaling and width to your needs.
    11. I then Print as I have not found that Previewing helps me to improve my Workflow.
    It may all seem straightforward but this now works for me.
    When this all started there were many saying how important it was to calibrate the screen, many tried this but is still did not help solve the problem. From what i understand all the Canon printers are capable of giving excellent results with Aperture. i hope that you join the community of satosfied users. Good luck.
