How do I set sRGB as my default color space?

Im honestly tired of having to convert the files with the "edit > convert to profile" menu option. I export from LR straight to PS. I dont know if that has anything to do with it. I doubt it. I just want to be able to open all my pictures in sRGB without having to do the converting. I do save for web but if the profile is converted before hand, the colors will change.

HT5569 How do I set iphone back to default or factory setting?

How do I set iphone back to default or factory setting?

There's some confusion here. Do you mean the code to visit settings/general/restrictions, or the Apple ID and password to deactivate Activation Lock? Here's how to test.
First, go to settings/General/Restrictions. Do you need to enter a 4 digit code? If you do, then connect the phone to your computer and restore the phone from Recovery Mode as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808.
If no code is required to get into Restrictions what you need is the Apple ID and passcode that was used to set Find my iPhone. To verify that this is what is needed go to Settings/iCloud and turn off Find my iPhone. You will be prompted for your Apple ID and passcode. If you don't have them your phone is permanently disabled. You can contact Apple Account Security to prove you are the owner of the Apple ID and get the password reset. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699

How do i set the event duration default

how do i set the event duration default on my iphone calendar. it is preset to 1 hour and i want to change the dafault duration time

Every Printer driver allow you to save a set of settings.
For instance,
I defined
A4 black & white
A4 colors
listings black & white (which prints two pages on an A4 sheet)
listing colors (which prints two pages on an A4 sheet)
Do the same with your settings.
Use the item Enregistrer or the item Enregistrer sous to save your settings.

Why does Lightroom (and Photoshop) use AdobeRGB and/or ProPhoto RGB as default color spaces, when most monitors are standard gamut (sRGB) and cannot display the benefits of those wider gamuts?

I've asked this in a couple other places online as I try to wrap my head around color management, but the answer continues to elude me. That, or I've had it explained and I just didn't comprehend. So I continue. My confusion is this: everywhere it seems, experts and gurus and teachers and generally good, kind people of knowledge claim the benefits (in most instances, though not all) of working in AdobeRGB and ProPhoto RGB. And yet nobody seems to mention that the majority of people - including presumably many of those championing the wider gamut color spaces - are working on standard gamut displays. And to my mind, this is a huge oversight. What it means is, at best, those working this way are seeing nothing different than photos edited/output in sRGB, because [fortunately] the photos they took didn't include colors that exceeded sRGB's real estate. But at worst, they're editing blind, and probably messing up their work. That landscape they shot with all those lush greens that sRGB can't handle? Well, if they're working in AdobeRGB on a standard gamut display, they can't see those greens either. So, as I understand it, the color managed software is going to algorithmically reign in that wild green and bring it down to sRGB's turf (and this I believe is where relative and perceptual rendering intents come into play), and give them the best approximation, within the display's gamut capabilities. But now this person is editing thinking they're in AdobeRGB, thinking that green is AdobeRGB's green, but it's not. So any changes they make to this image, they're making to an image that's displaying to their eyes as sRGB, even if the color space is, technically, AdobeRGB. So they save, output this image as an AdobeRGB file, unaware that [they] altered it seeing inaccurate color. The person who opens this file on a wide gamut monitor, in the appropriate (wide gamut) color space, is now going to see this image "accurately" for the first time. Only it was edited by someone who hadn't seen it accurately. So who know what it looks like. And if the person who edited it is there, they'd be like, "wait, that's not what I sent you!"
Am I wrong? I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone. I shoot everything RAW, and I someday would love to see these photos opened up in a nice, big color space. And since they're RAW, I will, and probably not too far in the future. But right now I export everything to sRGB, because - internet standards aside - I don't know anybody who I'd share my photos with, who has a wide gamut monitor. I mean, as far as I know, most standard gamut monitors can't even display 100% sRGB! I just bought a really nice QHD display marketed toward design and photography professionals, and I don't think it's 100. I thought of getting the wide gamut version, but was advised to stay away because so much of my day-to-day usage would be with things that didn't utilize those gamuts, and generally speaking, my colors would be off. So I went with the standard gamut, like 99% of everybody else.
So what should I do? As it is, I have my Photoshop color space set to sRGB. I just read that Lightroom as its default uses ProPhoto in the Develop module, and AdobeRGB in the Library (for previews and such).
Thanks for any help!

Okay. Going bigger is better, do so when you can (in 16-bit). Darn, those TIFs are big though. So, ideally, one really doesn't want to take the picture to Photoshop until one has to, right? Because as long as it's in LR, it's going to be a comparatively small file (a dozen or two MBs vs say 150 as a TIF). And doesn't LR's develop module use the same 'engine' or something, as ACR plug-in? So if your adjustments are basic, able to be done in either LR Develop, or PS ACR, all things being equal, choose to stay in LR?

PS RGB Workspace: ProPhotoRGB and I convert any 8-bit documents to 16-bit before doing any adjustments.
Why does one convert 8-bit pics to 16-bit? Not sure if this is an apt comparison, but it seems to me that that's kind of like upscaling, in video. Which I've always taken to mean adding redundant information to a file so that it 'fits' the larger canvas, but to no material improvement. In the case of video, I think I'd rather watch a 1080p movie on an HD (1080) screen (here I go again with my pixel-to-pixel prejudice), than watch a 1080p movie on a 4K TV, upscaled. But I'm ready to be wrong here, too. Maybe there would be no discernible difference? Maybe even though the source material were 1080p, I could still sit closer to the 4K TV, because of the smaller and more densely packed array of pixels. Or maybe I only get that benefit when it's a 4K picture on a 4K screen? Anyway, this is probably a different can of worms. I'm assuming that in the case of photo editing, converting from 8 to 16-bit allows one more room to work before bad things start to happen?
I'm recent to Lightroom and still in the process of organizing from Aperture. Being forced to "this is your life" through all the years (I don't recommend!), I realize probably all of my pictures older than 7 years ago are jpeg, and probably low-fi at that. I'm wondering how I should handle them, if and when I do. I'm noting your settings, ssprengel.
ssprengel Apr 28, 2015 9:40 PM
I save my PS intermediate or final master copy of my work as a 16-bit TIF still in the ProPhotoRGB, and only when I'm ready to share the image do I convert to sRGB then 8-bits, in that order, then do File / Save As: Format=JPG.
Part of the same question, I guess - why convert back to 8-bits? Is it for the recipient? Do some machines not read 16-bit? Something else?
For those of you working in these larger color spaces and not working with a wide gamut display, I'd love to know if there are any reasons you choose not to. Because I guess my biggest concern in all of this has been tied to what we're potentially losing by not seeing the breadth of the color space we work in represented while making value adjustments to our images. Based on what several have said here, it seems that the instances when our displays are unable to represent something as intended are infrequent, and when they do arise, they're usually not extreme.

With 8 bits, there are 256 possible values. If you use those 8 bits to cover a wider range of colours, then the difference between two adjacent values - between 100 and 101, say - is a larger difference in colour. With ProPhoto RGB in 8-bits there is a chance that this is visible, so a smooth colour wedge might look like a staircase. Hence ProPhoto RGB files might need to be kept as 16-bit TIFs, which of course are much, much bigger than 8-bit jpegs.
Over the course of my 'studies' I came across a side-by-side comparison of either two color spaces and how they handled value gradations, or 8-bit vs 16-bit in the same color space. One was a very smooth gradient, and the other was more like a series of columns, or as you say, a staircase. Maybe it was comparing sRGB with AdobeRGB, both as 8-bit. And how they handled the same "section" of value change. They're both working with 256 choices, right? So there might be some instances where, in 8-bit, the (numerically) same segment of values is smoother in sRGB than in AdobeRGB, no? Because of the example Simon illustrated above?
Oh, also -- in my Lumix LX100 the options for color space are sRGB or AdobeRGB. Am I correct to say that when I'm shooting RAW, these are irrelevant or ignored? I know there are instances (certain camera effects) where the camera forces the shot as a jpeg, and usually in that instance I believe it will be forced sRGB.
Thanks again. I think it's time to change some settings..

How I can set Leopard to use the color management mixture that Tiger uses?

I have recently bought a new Mac with Leopard installed. My old Mac is running Tiger. Unfortunately the color management default settings in Leopard are different than in Tiger, so this is completely messing up my calibration. Can somebody please tell me how I can set Leopard to use whatever color management mixture that Tiger uses? - Thanks.

I already have set FF to No Proxy. This made FF work again, but not any of my other internet programs, programs that don't have the option to set to no proxy, they rely on the system settings. So I need to know how to reset my system settings back to their default values. This will allow all my net progs to access the net again, including FF using the Use System Settings option. Since FF has an option to use system settings, this is a somewhat FF related question. I need to get all my net programs working again, not just FF! And, if my system settings are restored, FF will work using the system settings, and all my other progs will work too.

Exporting Tifs:Default Color Space is sRGB

I'm flabbergasted.
Again, without warning, Aperture is altering my files. This seems to be part of the design philosophy.
Go to Output>Export Version.
From the drop down you can choose a variety of formats. Go to the bottom to Edit...
And you will see that the default color space for all formats except PSD is sRGB.
As if that weren't bad enough, there is an option for Black Point Compensation (off by default) and a Gamma slider......with no preview.
Even with Source Profile selected (shouldn't THAT be the default for heaven's sake?) the black point compensation button and the gamma slider are available to be invoked.

It's even WORSE than that:
I exported a tif from Apeture:
8bit
Source profile
I sent the same master to Photoshop, converted it to 8bit and saved as a Tif with LZW compression.
First off, since you cannot specify compression when exporting from Aperture the Aperture file was twice as large, 35.1mb vs. 17.3mb for Photoshop.
But that's not the bad part.
The Bad part is that the Aperture file had suffered visible damage in the conversion with a visible loss of shadow detail. The Photoshop version had not.
I tried this a number of times. Interestingly each time I specified Source Profile the dialog box had returned to sRGB when I checked it again. But that wasn't the problem.
When I changed the export to 16bit tif instead of 8 bit two things happend:
First, Aperture created not one, but two exports of the same file on my hard drive. I trashed them and tried it again with the same results.
Second, the 16bit Aperture tif looked very much like the 8bit Photoshop tif. UNTIL I converted the 16bit Aperture tif to 8bit at which point the shadows fell apart just like they had in the 8bit Aperture conversions.
Very, very bad.

HT2506 how do you set Preview as the default for opening pdf in browser?

How do I set the Preview application to be the default for viewing PDF's in while in Safari? Previously, while in Safari and clicking on links to PDF's, they would display with buttons on the bottom that made it simple to view and download the PDF. Since updating Adobe Reader it seems Reader is now the default application for viewing PDF's accessed from the internet. I haven't been able to figure out how to revert back to Preview.....

I did this and now Safari won't open the form at all.
I put the files back and it opens in Adobe.
When I save the files to desktop they open in Preview. But I am trying to read pdf's(? forms) while in Safari.
Adobe does not work smoothly in Safari and scrolling to read is a nightmare.
OS X 10.8.5
This problem came up within the last few months.
Before everything opened in Preview perfectly.

How do I set Pages as the default to open docs?

Hello community of helpful people:
I am just starting out with a brand new MacBook and Pages and have thousands of documents in Word that I will be working with (eventually). When I open them (with double click) they open with the default program "TextEdit." The only way I can figure out how to open them is by right-clicking and selecting "Open with Pages." This is cumbersome. I know there must be a simple way to set the Pages as the default instead of TextEdit. Also, when I have saved a document (with a copy saved into Word), when I open the Pages document it, of course, opens in Pages. But if I open the word document that I just saved out of Pages, it opens in TextEdit.
Can someone share the secret with me for setting Pages as my default word processor?
Also, is there any advantage to opening in TextEdit? Why is this the default setting? These are less important questions, but I'm still interested.
Thanks!

Can someone share the secret with me for setting Pages as my default word processor?
Right-click one, choose Get Info, select Pages under Open With, click on Change All, and confirm this action.
Why is this the default setting?
TextEdit is present on a Mac OS X system unless manually deleted. Pages isn't bundled with the OS.

How do I set firefox as my default web broswer again?

Okay so I set up this layout thing for Facebook. When it was done installing and I quit. Later I checked in and Firebox search box didn't come up. Some thing Called "Internet Search" was there. I reinstalled a new version of Firefox and it said on to set up as my default broswer and I clicked it and it didn't work. So How can I get firebox back?

I did that but It didn't work. When I first open internet it doesn't bring up the firefox box that you can search stuff on. It pulls up some Internet Search thing. How can I change it back?

How do I set firefox as the default browser in Windows Server 2012 Group Policy Editor?

Hello, I am unable to set firefox as the default browser despite multiple different attempts to do so using group policy.
I have:
- Set a registry command (targeted at 32/64 via a WMI query) to reset the opening command as shown below:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\http\shell\open\command
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -osint -url "%1"
- Set a powershell logon script to run (that does run):
firefox.exe -silent -setDefaultBrowser
Despite setting the above it seems the client computers browsers are not affected by the settings above. When the script runs or if I run the command above a UAC window pops up and requests that I accept the command (for the setDefaultBrowser) but even if I click yes as an administrator it does nothing.
Since GPO in 2012 has changed perhaps there is something that I am missing? Do I need to somehow disable Windows Internet Explorer from achieving default browser status?
Please do not reply if you will suggest that I use Internet Explorer Maintenance (since this function in GPO has been disabled since IE10)
My DC is Server 2012, my client computers are Win7 32/64.

The above reply does not take into account that I am trying to use GROUP POLICY EDITOR to make it the default browser.

How can I set bind parameter as Default Display Value in JHeadstart

Hi,
I am using -
JDeveloper Studio Edition Version 10.1.3.1.0.3984
JHeadstart Release 10.1.3.1.26
Can anybody help me for the following:
I am using a super class of ViewObjectImpl where I am definning a bind parameter (Student ID) using login userid:
if ("p_std_id".equals(bindParam[0])) {
sLog.debug("executeQueryForCollection: found bind param p_std_id, setting value to " + studentNumber_from_LDAP);
bindParam[1] = studentNumber_from_LDAP;
Then I defined p_std_id in Bind Variables tab in VO Editor and used that in Where clause in the SQL Statement tab.
This is working fine.
Now what I want to do is:
I want to put the value of p_std_id as Default Display Value for a field.
Can anybody let me know how I can put the value of p_std_id in JHeadstart Application Definition?
Thanks

Hi Jan and Steven,
Thanks for your reply.
I need to show the default value in the table layout.
Steven, could you please give some more hints about EL Expression?
To obtain the value of p_std_id now and pass it on as bind param, I am using a class extending ViewObjectImpl. Inside that class I am using the following method:
I'd appreciate if you could help for the EL Expression.
Thanks
protected void executeQueryForCollection(Object Object, Object[] bindParams,
int i) {
String userId = ((ApplicationModuleImpl)getApplicationModule()).getUserPrincipalName();
try{
getLdapInfo(userId);
catch(Exception e) {
sLog.debug("executeQueryForCollection: Userid = " + userId);
if (bindParams != null)
for (int j = 0; j < bindParams.length; j++)
Object[] bindParam = (Object[])bindParams[j];
if ("p_user_id".equals(bindParam[0])) {
sLog.debug("executeQueryForCollection: found bind param p_user_id, setting value to " + userId);
bindParam[1] = userId;
if ("p_emp_id".equals(bindParam[0])) {
