Missing color profiles in Snow Leopard

Hi,
I did a clean install of Snow Leopard and then migrated from a clone the accounts, network setting and documents. I then reinstalled all of the applications. Everything works just fine but a good number of Color profiles for my printer (Epson Pro 3800) are missing from the Aperture pull down menus. Does anyone know where these live so i can move them over to the new install?
thanks

I would just reinstall your Epson software from which those profiles most likely came. If you have a full backup of the previous system then you can look for them in the /Library/Colorsync/ or /Home/Library/Colorsync/ folders. If you migrated a Home folder and the profiles were installed in the /Library/Colorsync/ folder then they were not transferred to the new installation.

  • Cintiq 21ux Color Issue with Snow Leopard

    I just recently upgraded to Snow Leopard from Tiger. I have a Cintiq 21ux tablet that is noticeably "faint" now on the new SL. It appears hazy and the colors just don't pop like they did on Tiger. I didn't have this issue with Tiger. Does anyone have any ideas on how to correct the issue? I'm a graphic designer so color is EXTREMELY critical in my day to day operations.
    I adjusted the gamma and that showed some improvement but there is still a dramatic difference between my Apple monitor and the Cintiq.
    I noticed this was posted earlier but no resolution provided and it was archived.
    Please help!

    Something just occurred to me that has happened in the past that when I've upgraded the OS that the ColorSync profile that was previously selected for the Cintiq and/or my main display for whatever reason gets unselected. You may want to look in the System Preferences/Display/Color Tab to make sure that the color profile you previously had selected is in fact still there and selected. Make sure that "Show profiles for this display only" is unchecked so that all profiles are visible. More than likely it should be named something like Cintiq 21UX or Cintiq 12WX which was installed when you set up the tablet.

  • Broken color management in Snow Leopard?

    Hi,
    I recently upgraded Leopard to Snow Leopard on my Mac Pro and I'm having trouble with my color profiles. I used an X-Rite i1 to calibrate my monitor (a Dell 30" 3007WFPHC) on Leopard and since Snow Leopard the colors are different. I have another computer connected to the same monitor (a 2nd generation MacBook Pro) which uses the exact same color profile and the colors are different between the two computers!
    I tried re-calibrating my monitor several times and I never managed to get Snow Leopard to display colors the way it used to on Leopard (and every time, copying the profile between my two computers gives me different results.)
    FWIW, my old profiles and the new profiles I've created were all using a gamma of 2.2, even on Leopard.
    Is this a known issue and if so, is there a known workaround? The only "weird" thing about my setup is that I've upgraded the OS instead of doing a clean install.

    Hello,
    Just wanted to stop by and say I'm going through a similar issue:
    I've calibrated my screen using an X-Rite i1 Display 2. I'm on a MacBook, circa early 2007 white model -- and though my photo colors look right and exact, system-wide menu and window selection overlays and some icons have a slight magenta tint. I'm using ColorMatch 3.6.2
    Samples:

    http://jimlafferty.com/magenta02.jpg
    Check out the difference between the Transmit logo on Panic's site and the one in my dock:
    http://jimlafferty.com/magenta03.jpg
    When this has happened in the past, it was a matter of ensuring the calibration white point was set to "device native" -- and I ensured that it was. I've run the calibration twice, rebooted, ran it a third time. Still no luck.
    Curious to find the solution. I have emailed X-Rite support, posted a comment on their blog -- a few days and no response.

  • Newly created photoshop images/icons missing in finder in Snow Leopard

    Ever since installing Snow Leopard, whenever I create a new image in Photoshop and save it to a file, and then I go into that file to look for it, it is missing. The only way I can find the file is if I enter the name of the image in the finder window and do a search - then it says that the image is in the image folder - where I put it - but when I go there, it isn't there. So the only way to find and then open that newly created image, is to remember what I called it, and then enter it's name in the finder serach window. Crazy, Huh? What could be causing that, and how can I fix that?
    The other problem that I notice with Snow Leopard is that the newly created icon images in finder are all blurry. The blurriness seems to be random. Some are, some are not. I did a search for that in the forum and it seems that just about everyone is experiencing this problem. You would think after a year of complaints that Apple would do something about this, but they have not. They are completly ignoring the problem.

    What version of CS? what Mac even is this?
    CS4 or later (CS5.x probably to be current).

  • Missing color profile

    Hello,
    I am running CS at my job. 4 days ago, Photoshop started asking for color profiles on every single image I open. Most of these images are ones that I have used repeatedly in the past with no errors or missing profile messages.
    My question....?
    How do I fix this. I want the images to just open without the stupid window popping up every time.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • IPhoto screensaver missing after upgrade to Snow Leopard

    I have 3 Macs, all upgraded to Snow Leopard at the same time last year. For some reason one of them no longer has the iPhoto screensaver available from System Preferences. It's also not available as a choice for desktop picture. All 3 computers were upgraded from Leopard, all 3 used an album from iPhoto for screensaver and desktop background, but on one of the computers the iPhoto choice is no longer available in System Preferences for either screen saver or desktop background.
    I'm currently using simply a folder of pictures for screen saver, but that means I've duplicated the images as files outside of iPhoto and an album in iPhoto. It's been this way for months, but I want to clean up the disk space and get rid of the external folder of pictures and get back to using the iPhoto album.
    Suggestions as to what to do to restore the iPhoto choice in System Prefs? I'm running iPhoto '09 version 8.1.2 and SL 10.6.3.
    Thanks

    Exactly what's missing? Is there an option to select an iPhoto Album in the SystemPreferences and it can't find the Library? Or simply no option in SystemPreferences?
    Regards

    Not easily. You would probably have to hack up some system file and I don't think that knowledge is known outside of Apple.

  • Photoshop Elements 11/ Missing Color Profile CMYK - Does anybody know why + what to do?

    I am missing the color profile CMYK in the elements software I use.
    I need to convert some data form RGB to CMYK.
    Is there a setting I may change?
    Thanks for helping
    Regards,
    ChrizB

    If you only need to do this once, the easiest thing is to ask your printer to do it for you. They'll probably charge you something, but at least it will be done right. Properly converting to CMYK is considerably more complex than, say, converting from sRGB to Adobe RGB. There are a number of third party options for doing this--I think irfanview will do it in windows, and preview does it for macs, but those are pretty basic conversions that don't allow you to adjust for out of gamut colors.

  • Emailed photos missing color profiles

    I noticed that all the photos I've sent people from the iPhone look really flat and lifeless.
    When I transfer the photos to iPhoto they have the profile sRGB. But if I email them from the Photos app on the phone (at any size) they are missing their ICC color profile.
    It means that any work you did editing your photos on the phone will look wrong when uploaded - modern browsers or mail clients that respect color profiles won't have the info to display them properly.
    I don't get it, why would Apple include ICC profiles when saving photos but want to strip out the color info when sharing them? Profiles are tiny and don't impact the size, so why remove them?
    I'm annoyed that I'll need to use the computer to share my photos properly- doesn't that defeat the purpose of being able to share them right form the phone?

    I would just reinstall your Epson software from which those profiles most likely came. If you have a full backup of the previous system then you can look for them in the /Library/Colorsync/ or /Home/Library/Colorsync/ folders. If you migrated a Home folder and the profiles were installed in the /Library/Colorsync/ folder then they were not transferred to the new installation.

  • Arial-BoldItalicMT font missing after upgrade to Snow Leopard

    I updated to Snow Leopard yesterday and when I open iWeb I get a message that the font Arial-BoldItalicMT is missing. The program does not offer a substitute and this happens to be my favorite font, which I use in all my websites.
    The text in all my pages appears stacked as if the kerning was corrupt. There is no way to fix this through the inspector nor through the font window. i tried to look for this font on the internet to add it to my fonts suitcase, but I cannot find it as written in the error message (Arial-BoldItalicMT)
    Can anyone help?
    I tried restoring the iWeb domain file from yesterday's back up but this did not solve the problem.
    I cannot update any of my pages for fear of passing on this problem to my live, published pages on my hosting service.
    Thank you.
    Juan Carlos

    Thanks, Tom.
    The font as you write it "Arial Bold Italic" is in my 10.6 folder. As per OT's suggestion I turned it off and on again. The font name written in the error message is "Arial-BoldItalic"
    I don't know what the dash means but it does not seem to be a change in name from 10.5
    I tried re-installing the font. I also tried making a copy of it and adding the dash to the copy but iWeb crashes if I do this when I try to save, so I trash the copy with the dash.
    Arial is the only font that seems to be having the problem in iWeb. Just now, however, I opened word and whenever I tried to select Arial as the font, word showed Arial selected but one of the dingbat fonts actually came out as characters when I typed. Could there be another preference document that I should trash/rebuild. Some directory somewhere sounds corrupt.
    Thanks.

  • Missing Pages documents after Snow Leopard upgrade

    I upgraded my Mini to Snow Leopard and now several newer, previoulsy saved Pages documents are missing.  They were on the machine before the upgrade and I thought they resided in the documents folder, which I backed up.  However, they are not there now (looked at Time Machine when I did the original backup).
    Any ideas as to where they could be? Older Pages files are there in the documents folder
    Prior to the upgrade I blew away everything in "downloads" but these Pages documents were newly created on the desktop and should not have been saved there. 

    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

  • Missing color profiles

    When I view images in Bridge it shows that I have either sRGB or Adobe 1998 color profiles embedded with images. When I try to open them in CS2 I get the dialog box stating they have no embedded profile??? I'm talking about jpeg files in Bridge. I have two color spaces I work in, sRGB for jpegs and Adobe 1998 for converted raw files either in tiff or psd. These load just fine as the have been saved as Adobe 1998. My profile setting have remained the same as far as I can tell, the mismatch and missing warning boxes are checked. Any ideas what might have taken place?
    Thanks for any help.

    If Bridge shows the profile, it's there. Your Photoshop CS2 preferences or installation could be corrupted. Try trashing prefs first.
    To re-create the preferences files for Photoshop or ImageReady, start the application while holding down Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS X). Then, click Yes to the message, "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file?" or "Delete the Adobe ImageReady Settings file?"

  • Color separations with Snow Leopard?

    Before installing Snow Leopard I was able to create PDF color separations by going to file > print. From there I changed the printer to Adobe PDF 9.0 and changed the Mode to Separations under Output. When the print button was pressed I would get a PDF file with all my CMYK and spot colors on separate pages in shades of black. This is the file I need to send to have negatives/plates made.
    With Snow Leopard the print to PDF command no longer works. I can still use Save As PDF, but that would require me to manually remove all colors except one and then change that one to shades of black. That process would need to be repeated for every color used. Does anyone have a work around or better way to create color separations? I have contacted Adobe and have an open case working this problem. There is currently a bit of confusion because the individual at customer support thinks I am having trouble printing color separations when I am actually having trouble saving color separations using the print command.

    Here is the work around!
    Print the file to a .ps and run it directly through Distiller  you will need to give Distiller your password.
    That suggest to me that the problem is that distiller needs to pass word in order to save the file anywhere and not be able to do so without the password it just sends it back to the system after completing the distilling when you try to print to pdf.
    Here is two of the four pages I got from my experiment
    Not ideal work flow when you are doing a lot of them but much the same we are all use to doing it in the past.
    Most important it is a way.

  • Mail folders missing after upgrading from snow leopard to mavericks.

  • Print with no color management CS4 + Snow Leopard broken

    I have seen comments in this forum about problems with printing with CS4, but wasn't sure that they were going to apply to me. They do, big time.
    I print to an Epson 9800, I convert the image to the Epson profile for that paper, and then print using no color management. With CS4 + Mac OS 10.6 the colors are completely off, and the results unusable, and I could not resolve it by printing from CS3 instead. I finally ended up installing 10.5 on a new partition, deactivating CS3 on the 10.6 partition and installing on the 10.5 partition (because Adobe's licensing treats the same program running on the same computer with different boot partitions as two different "installations"!), and then actually going back one generation in the drivers for the printer. Basically this resurrects my computer as it was in 2007, and I can now print flawlessly. I'm not sure whether the latest printer drivers introduce problems or not, and got tired printing test images.
    Of course, this means that I edit the photo in 10.6 + CS4, then reboot to 10.5, print in CS3, then reboot back into 10.6. And of course I can't use CS4 while printing from CS3. Very frustrating.
    My questions are: (1) is there an Adobe document that discusses this problem, (2) are Adobe aware of this problem, and (3) are there any other work-arounds that people know of other than reverting to CS3 + OS 10.5?
    A

    Thanks Chris,
    I didn't try older Epson drivers + 10.6. I wasn't quite sure if I was getting the exact same colors with the newest Epson drivers + 10.5, so I reverted to the previous version drivers + 10.5 and am able to print perfectly with that.
    I must say that Adobe's licensing really gets in the way when there are problems like this. I only updated to 10.6 (yes, perhaps a little prematurely) after reading Adobe's reports on compatibility and searching these forums for any news of problems. But now that I have updated to 10.6, I really don't want to go back to 10.5 permanently. And, as I said, you can't run the same version of Photoshop on the same computer on two different boot systems, without using up the two licenses. This is very frustrating, and violates my understanding of the license that Adobe gives its users: the ability to run the software on either of 2 computers, as long as you don't run on both at the same time.
    I hope you figure this out, let us know as soon as you can.
