Leopard color setup?

I just loaded Leopard 10.5.1. When looking at pictures in iPhoto they all look weird with a disgusting lime green and/or purplish tint. This also applies to pictures viewed online using Safari and also affects games played on the computer. They either have the lime green and/or purplish tint or are much darker than when played using 10.3.9. Any thoughts or suggestions as to how to resolve this issue will be gladly accepted at [email protected]
Thanks!

I have recently purchased a Photosmart 5520 and installed Setup ink cartridges. However, I have got no further as error message says 'check ink cartridges' - pink cartridge appears to be missing. I have followed support suggestions to re-insert, clean contact points etc, however nothing works. The error message prevents me from returning to Home screen. Please advise.

Acrobat does not load "Edit\Preferences\Color Management\Color Setup" properly.

When you convert a CMYK document with DeviceCMYK color space to profile, Acrobat X/XI Pro does not take the Working Space selected in "Edit\Preferences\Color Management\Color Setup" as the source space of DeviceCMYK object properly. But, after you change the "Settings" to any other setting (Like Jappan General Purpose 2) and confirm, and then change back to your wanted setting, thus, Acrobat will take the Working Space to convert color correctly. I tryed this many times, it reapears every time. It looks like that Acrobat does not load the "Color Setup" properly. Is there any one knows the reason of the problem? Is this a bug of Acrobat?

Could this only be a problem with clean installs of CS3?

Photoshop CS3 on Snow Leopard color management

I have CS3 on Snow Leopard and an Epson R1900. If I let Photoshop manage the colors the print is dark and on the red side. If I let the printer manage the colors and use the same profile it looks much better. I found this old thread:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2313020#2313020
Which says it is a known problem with Snow Leopard and Adobe is working on it. Does anyone know if this has been resolved?

I would add two things to your list.
a. Snow Leopard seems to use sRGB as the default profile so I would use that as the assigning profile.
b. You should convert to Edit - Convert to Profile choosing your Printer/Paper profile (for printing color managed output) in PS before you do #1.
that thread is rather busy... its hard to pick out the good information. It seems mostly concerned with CS4. Do you know what issues apply to CS4 only and which issues apply to CS3/Snow Leopard?
I am not sure what you are saying in point a. If I have a custom profile for a particular ink/paper combination I need to assign that profile, right? Using sRGB is only useful if I want no color control at all I believe.
b. Seems to permanently convert the image to that profile, which I would think you would not want to do in general since you generally want to keep the image in its original format.

Help with color setup, pictures printing dark, display looks great

Ok, first let me say I am completely new to Mac, so some of this may sound incredibly stupid but I really need some direction as to how to solve a color issue. Please bare with me as I describe what is probably a most simple fix to those of you with knowledge.
My issue is that I have great display, the pictures, (some taken with a Nikon D100 and D200 in raw format) look wonderful on screen and then, I print.... and for lack of a better description, they appear darker and less "colorful".
The printer is an Epson Photo R1800 which did a wonderful job while on my windows box (using photo shop elements). I had the problem before and after leopard so not an os issue.
I have looked around a bit and found information regarding calibration, icc profiles, etc... and have downloaded the icc profiles from the Epson website. I guess my frustration is that I expected this to be more straight forward as I did nothing but install drivers on the windows box and the pictures printed as they looked on screen, which is my ultimate goal since I am not a pro.
I guess I cannot understand the need to buy another piece of equipment to calibrate a display just to print family photos and it just doesn't make sense to me that the display, which is truly a great picture, needs to be dulled down to match what the printer is putting out. This appears to me to be more of a printer output or driver issue than the display being incorrect.
Sorry for the rant, it is one of frustration and admitted ignorance.
Would much appreciate any help.

What is (probably) happening is that the output to the display is boosting the picture to "look great" whereas what you actually need to do is have a neutral display and then adjust the picture to make it look good on that neutral display.
That's why you need to calibrate the display if you want accuracy when you print.
You may also require the output profiles for your printer, so that when the picture is printed the printer driver makes the correct mapping to the inks and paper.
There's been some other colour management threads recently - search for those and follow the links to some good articles that will explain all you need to know about colo(u)r management. It's very, very, important to get this right when you are printing for yourself, or even when you are sending the image off to a good lab to print.

Canon iP5200 and Snow Leopard - Color Management

I was wondering if anyone knows how to completely disable color management when printing using Photoshop CS4 and a Canon iP5200 with the very latest driver 10.26.0.0?
I've seen this link on the Apple website which to me implies that if I set Photoshop CS4 to "No Color Management" and select "Colorsync" under "Color Matching" in the print driver then all color management is switched off, including that of the printer:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/8641.html
This is also what Canon support told me, but is this correct, I'm somehow not convinced? The latest print driver with Snow Leopard has no specific option to turn off color management in the print driver.

What you should do is select Color Matching and set this to 'Canon Color Matching'. This will then let the printer control the colour management.
Note that the colour profiles for the Canon printers are based on the paper stocks used. And the papers that have the largest gamut are the photo papers. So, after setting the Canon Color Matching, open the Quality & Media menu and select the appropriate paper you are using and the Print Quality to High. But don't expect good output if you are using plain paper. Only photo papers should be used with the photo modes.

Help - Snow Leopard Server Setup with AEBS

Hi.
I am trying to setup two things at once. Good start, eh ;0)
Step-by-step, this is what I have:
Internet connection
Static IP address
Apple Airport Extreme Base Station
Mac Mini Server (Snow Leopard)
Registered Domain name with access to control panel for the name
This is what I want to do:
Connect the AEBS to the Internet
Connect the Server to the Internet via AEBS
Connect Client computers (all Mac, iPhone & iPad) to the server network and the internet locally
Connect Client computers (all Mac, iPhone & iPad) to the server network and the internet remotely
This is the information that I have been given by my ISP (I have added letters before the address to help you to help me identify where they should be entered):
Router IP: (a)192.xxx.94.x (maps to (b)195.xxx.xx.xx)
Subnet Mask: (c)255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: (d)192.xxx.94.x
DNS 1: (e)192.xxx.50.xx1
DNS 2: (f)192.xxx.50.xx2
SMTP: (g)smtp.xx.net
I can't really find any obvious instructions, particularly about pointing my domain name to the router/server. Do I change the name servers/the A records, the A&MX Records on the domain control panel?
If anyone has any experience with setting-up the server with an AEBS, I would be truly grateful for some pointers! e.g. put IP address (a) in box (x)
Ha! if only it were that easy, but any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Easy answer. Paid a local IT company to come and check my settings. Turns out that due to the office that I am in, I am in a 'double NAT' environment. When AEBS was throwing-up NAT errors, I was unsure about continuing.
Al sorted now with a few phone calls to the ISP and 2 hours' work by the IT company. Done. What else can I try and break???

Snow Leopard Color is Terrible

Just glad I have it installed on an external. The 2.2 gamma shift has been botched imo. None of my calibrators work properly and it hurts my eyes with blinding brightness at 2.2 gamma. Used to be able to tone it down by changing 10.5 1.8 gamma to 2.2. Unable to tone anything down as it seems Apple wants you to view their OS windows under 1.8 lightness and a 2.2 gamma curve. Not cool. Want to move to SL but can't. Considering Apple is a default standard for print and video why did they not try and talk with the 3rd party "Pro" engineers to let them know what changed with colorsync? I know there are other threads related to this. Trying to keep it at the forefront as it is much more major an issue than a consumer printer not working. No one needs a color managed Dock ffs. My icons look terrible all washed out. Please post your disdain. Let's get this fixed.

I grew tired of washed out web browser colors long ago.
The reasons for switching w/SL may be because enough users complained to Apple about their approach w/using 1.8 monitor gamma and ColorSync, and/or new staff at Apple was able to make changes. We have to wait and see if the Apple geniuses follow through, however, and enable a ColorSync setting to assume sRGB, versus ColorSync defaulting to a custom device-dependent monitor profile.
Recalibrate to the new gamma if you haven't and see this page for calibration help:
http://www.gballard.net/boutique/colorcorrecting.html
Remember, we are now closer to device-independent color - if this isn't in your workflow now, it will be soon enough. Enjoy the new blacks w/SL and don't worry too hard over gamma for the time being - the move that SL represents has only started.

How do I reorganise shots in Colors setup/shots browser

I'm just working out how to create, delete and use groups of shots in the shots browser (within the setups tab). Having played around a bit, I now a totally disorganised layout of shot icons. Is there any way to automatically reorganise these icons so that, for example, they are sorted back to their timeline order?
I appreciate that I could do this manually but was just wondering. Thanks.

Hi(Bonjour)!
Look inside a folder called "Final Cut Express Document"
Your captured clip will be found in a subfolder called "capture".
Otherwise, look in your browser and select item properties (with contextual menu), to see the full path name for your clip file.
Beware: Do not change your captured clip name in the finder, or you'll lose "the connection" between captured clip and his reference in the browser. Thus you can safely rename your clip in the FCE browser.
Your file project is a simple reference file who tolds to FCE where to take clip parts to build your movie.
It may be saved anywhere, but it's usual (and give better performance in some case) to store it on a disk, and your clip files on another disk.
Good luck

New intel Xserve with Leopard Server setup assistance....

Hello
Im quite a newbie when it comes to administrating OS X Server, Xserves and RAID's so please bare with me if the following question seems obvious or dumb...
Currently I have inherited the following setup - G5 Xserve running 10.4.10 Server which has the following services running = Kerio MailServer, AFP, DHCP, DNS, Firewall, NAT, OD, VPN and Windows. This Xserve is also connected to an Apple RAID via fibre channel for file sharing and also to a Tape multi-changer backup unit via scsi.
I have just bought a new Intel Xserve and have installed 10.5 Server on it. I have this server as I would like to get iCal Server and Directory up and running and eventually share some of the G5 services. For iCal Server and Directory I assume ill need the 10.5 Server set up as Open Directory Master but my worry is I have that already on my G5 Xserve. If I was to migrate the 25 usernames from there to the 10.5 Server, would every user still be able to connect to the RAID (as the RAID is still physically connected to the G5 Xserve) for file sharing?
I hope some one could advise or recommend a better way, let me know if you need me to try and clarify the question better!
Thanks in advance

Mac OS X Server v10.6 Snow Leopard - Webdav setup?

Could someone give me a run-through on what is needed to set up webdav or a link to same? On this server, I've got groups with shared folders, and users who can access at least one group each. I'd like to be able to have the users get web access to these same folders.
Thanks, Ian

More words around the commands used, errors seen, tools involved, etc, please?
Why do I ask for that? This stuff works as expected here.
Here's what I did to get connected with a test server. First, get Apache going and enable WebDAV, both via Server Admin. Then (on the client) select Go > Connect To Server in Finder, and specify the WebDAV server via http or https as the target. The wheels spin for a bit as the connections are made, and Bob's Your Uncle.
I'm going to presume you have DNS going, but (if not) start there.

Can leopard server setup mail to work in a closed LAN environment with no domain name?

I just need to get emails from tape libraries, xserve RAID etc. Can't quite figure out the Domain Name and Host Name settings in Server admin.

I haven't done extensive testing of Yahoo, but every test I tried worked.
When forwarding mail you do have to make sure that the original mailbox actually exists though. To prevent spam, Yahoo actually checks the from addresses to make sure they really exist.
Some people just set a "forwarder" from a non-existent email address in their domain (that is possible with Hostgator for example). Yahoo will not let those be received. There has to be an actual existing original mailbox.

Color question

Running Photoshop CS3 intel mac leopard. I made a .psd file with spot PMS 307 chosen from the PMS picker, not as a separate channel. I made another file at home on a imac running 10.4.11 CS2 with PMS 307 chosen the same way. Both are RGB files, both have color management off. The colors did not match. Anyone know why?
Thanks

stephanie,
>This was an RGB question that has been blow all out of proportion and I thank you for pointing that out. The CMYK only comes in because of the pantone picker, used to match a logo color.
Please understand that the folks here are trying to understand what you are seeing and what you are trying to do. In your posts #3, #5 and #26, you clearly refer to commercial printing and unmanaged color.
CMYK and Pantone are not Web color associations. And RGB, CMYK, and Pantone spot colors all have different color spaces/gamuts. You cannot get an exact color equivalents across the board in these color spaces. And there are gamut differences between sRGB, Adobe RGB and all the other RGB spaces you can access in Photoshop.
So I'm confused as to what it is exactly that you want to do with the images, in other words, how they are going to be used and seen when all is done.
We can't be sure you have your monitors properly calibrated (the most important first step to color management). And you seem to be assigning your (unique) monitor profiles to your work. I can't say for sure that I follow your workflow.
So, let me ask a few questions:
1. Are your monitors hardware calibrated to 6500°K with a 2.2 gamma?
2. How are the images in question going to be used? Commercial offset, desktop printer, Website, etc.?
3. What color space are you assigning or embedding or... with your images? Is it sRGB?
4. Which Pantone color are you using (and is it for coated, uncoated, or matte paper)? And if you are going for Web, why are you working with Pantone colors instead of RGB or hexadecimal?
5. Have you read G Ballard's excellent color management basics? Do you have any questions?
6. Can you post a link to a screen shot of your color setup if you are preparing art for print?
7. Can you post a link to a screenshot of the mismatched images and describe how you arrived at the colors?
You can go to the free http://.www.pixentral.com to upload the images in question, and copy the link (per pixentral's instructions) back here.
Thank you.

A different take on the "Save For Web" color shift issue...

Ok, everyone who has fussed much with photoshop and "Save For Web" knows about the color shift issue. If you want your colors to look right after you "save for web", you have to work in the sRGB colorspace, and have Proof Colors checked (soft proofing on) and the proof color setup set to Monitor RGB, otherwise what you get looks terrible when displayed in a browser.
But of course if you are editing for print, this is exactly what you DON'T want to do. Well, I work in both. In fact, often the same images, and I want them to appear as close as reasonably possible in both print and web formats, and without a lot of fussing on my part. And I'm pickiest about the print mode, since I have the most control there, so that's the way I want to edit by default.
Nothing new here.
Now comes the interesting part (in my mind, anyway). Obviously there is a known remapping -- because PhotoShop DOES it when you select Proof Colors. So the inverse mapping must also be known (with some gamut issues, but I'm not concerned with those, because, after all, I'm VIEWING it on a monitor anyway!). What I want is a plug-in that automatically applies that inverse mapping so that, when I do a Save For Web, I end up with the colors I've been viewing all the time when setting the shot up in print mode. Then, too, I don't have to worry about what mode I'm in when I'm editing -- it just fixes it when doing a save-for-web.
Again, I want to edit in my normal print mode (typically ProPhoto colorspace, and with soft-proofing off or set to the printer/medium combination I expect to use), then do a single operation (might be a multi-step action) to "screw up" my colors so that when I then do a "Save-For-Web", the resulting image, when viewed on the average color-stupid browser, looks like the image I've been seeing in Photoshop.
Anyone know of such a beast?   I would gladly pay for a plug-in that really works and fixes the problem.
And if you have other solutions, I'm interested, but the absolute requirement is that it I do one single edit pass for my colors for both print and web use, and I get what I see on the screen in PS on both the prints and on the web display (i.e., working in sRGB/Monitor RGB mode all the time won't cut it). And PREFERABLY, let me do all my editing work in the ProPhoto (or at least AdobeRGB) colorspace so I have a gamut closer to what the printer can do.
Anyone got a decent solution for this?

Sorry, I think I'm being unclear. This has nothing to do with individual monitor profiles. In Proof Setup, "Monitor RGB" amounts to turning off ALL color management, and simply letting the monitor do what it will. It is what the vast majority of web browsers do (even if the operating system provides color management, the browsers don't take advantage of it), so that is what you need to consider for images that will be viewed on a web browser. If you convert your image to sRGB, select Monitor RGB in Proof Set up, and turn on Proof Colors, you will see the image as it would appear on a web browser (after you save it as a jpg or use "Save For Web/Devices" to save it as a jpg).   Since almost everyone is running different uncalibrated monitors, there will be lots of variation in how it will look to them, so precise control of the color is unimportant.
That said, I would expect the color on a calibrated monitor (such as the one I use when editing) to be reasonably close to the colors I am seeing while editing in PS. To the extent a monitor deviates from "calibrated", those colors will vary, but a good monitor should show good colors.   Unfortunately, this is NOT the case, as my previous post shows. The colors produced by the steps above are oversaturated and significantly shifted in hue. There is, to my mind, anyway, no reason for this. Adobe clearly knows what the mapping is between the colors as it displays them in PS and the un-controlled "Monitor RGB" -- that is, it is the color map they are using during normal editing display. If they were to reverse-apply that map prior to saving it as a jpg, then the image would appear on a browser on that same (presumably calibrated) monitor very similar to what you set up when editing. Anyone else viewing the image on a web browser with a calibrated monitor would also see good colors. To the extent other viewers' monitors are out of calibration, their colors will suck, but there's nothing you can do about that.
I guess in some sense I AM "asking for a Color-Mamangement-solution for a "non-Color-Management-situation", but specifically I'm asking for PS Color Management to do the best it can for non-Color-Managed situations that we all face every day.
Does that make more sense?

I spent all day Googling and doing side by side comparisons of my old and new systems.
My display is a Dell U2410. It has several presets, including sRGB and Adobe RGB. I've been using sRGB.
On my OLD system, (Win XP, PsCS2, DwCS4) there seems to be no distinction between color managed and non color managed apps, even on this wide gamut display. I could capture (digital camera) in Adobe RGB, open and edit in PsCS2, save as .psd, convert to CMYK for print, or convert to sRGB for SFW. All images looked identical and they printed and displayed perfectly. I thought this was normal, and seemed logical. This also seems to be the source of my incorrect assumptions. I was trying to get my new machine to behave like my old one.
So I get this new machine (Windows 7, PsCS5, DwCS5) and now (still in sRGB display mode) all color managed apps appear de-saturated. Non color managed apps are OK. If I switch the display to Adobe RGB, color managed apps are OK, but non color managed apps are way too saturated. From my investigation, I believe this is normal behavior on a wide gamut display. I've tried changing the Control Panel > Display > Screen Resolution > Advanced settings > Color Management options, but to no avail. Either I'm missing something, or Windows 7 is doing color management differently.
It seems my only option now is to use Adobe RGB display setting for Ps, etc. and switch to sRGB for Dw and non color managed apps. Or, have 2 separate files for print and web. I've Googled 'til my eyes are numb and still not sure I'm getting this. Any enlightenment would be greatly appreciated.
Finally, I don't see an edit function here, so I can't remove my previous incorrect reply. Moderator, please feel free to do so.
Thanks

Re-installing Snow Leopard Registration Question

Hello,
Is there anyway to get Snow Leopard's setup assistant to recognize my account registration information when re-installing? I go through the installation process as normal but after I input my username and password information the Account Registration fields are blank, and I know that I've registered my mac before.

If I recall if you click the option button on the left lower corner or something you can bypass the registration process and just create a username etc.
Since the machine is registered already then no need to send it off again.
