MOnitor profile and Photoshop Color settings

I have performed the color calibration on my iMAC monitor with Eye One and the profile was loaded into the preferences of the system. The system ofcourse loads it on start up.
Do I have to enter this color profile in any of the Photoship CS4 preferences set ups, like color settings, or will Photoshop automatically assume the monitor profile at startup?
I mean: after calibrating the monitor, do I have to do further adjustments to PS CS4 color settings?
Cheers.

No.

  • Can one set up Lightroom to allow use of manufacturer's printer profiles and Advanced Color Settings

    I like the effects that I can apply to my B&W images using Advanced Color Settings, but understand that I get best print quality using the manufacturer's paper profiles. However, I get locked out of Advanced Color Settings unless I choose "Managed by Printer". Can I do both - select a specific paper profile and use Advanced Color Settings? Thanks

    I don't know what printer you are using. But if you want to use all of the controls in the Lightroom print module you need to let Lightroom manage the color. For my printer, this requires making that choice in Lightroom and then disabling color management in the printer driver. Then, using Lightroom, I am able to use all of those settings and choose the appropriate profile provided by the paper manufacturer.
    With my printer, if I choose to let the printer manage the color, I can make all of those choices in the printer driver. But you cannot split your management between Lightroom and your printer.  You have to go one way or the other.

  • Photoshop Color Settings for Wide Gamut Monitor

    Hey guys,
    I have a wide gamut monitor (HP LP2475w) which has already been calibrated. My question isn't so much about that, but the settings I should be using inside of Photoshop (CS5). As far as color settings (ctrl+shift+k) goes, what am I supposed to use? I have sRGB as the rgb working space right now. (never use CMYK), Gray % Spot = dot gain 20%, and preserve profiles are ticked on for all 3. Am I supposed to be using Adobe RGB in RGB working space to get the most out of my monitor? I'm asking because it would be embarrassing if I had a wide gamut monitor and am working within a sRGB color cap. Please enlighten me with the proper photoshop color settings, so that it works well across the board (browser compatibility, etc)
    As a FYI, I am a professional digital artist who specialize in illustrations for print campaigns. So far from what I've seen, whatever's been printed out of what I produce from this monitor has come out pretty much looking the same, so I'm not worried about that. Again, I just want to make sure I'm not careless and am using settings which doesn't make use of a wide gamut monitor.
    Thanks for your input in advance!

    I think a lot of users believe that the Color Settings have much bigger role than what they actually do most of the time.
    When working with images you have to be always aware about the color space the image is currently displayed in.
    In Photoshop the displayed color space of an image is obtained in  the following order of priority:
    1. from the choice in View > Proof Setup  menu when the View > Proof Colors is checked.
    2. when the Proof Colors is off,  from the embedded profile.
    3. when the Proof Colors is off and when  the image is without a  color   profile (untagged)  from the Working  Color space selected in  the  Color  Settings.
    This image  shows how to check the color profile of an image - I keep it permanently on.
    As you can see, the color spaces selected for working spaces in the  Color settings affect the display of images only when they are untagged (without color profiles). The color settings also set the default choice of a color space when you create a new document but you can always select another color space form the Advance section of the dialog that appears when you choose File > New. You can also assign a color space to any image by using Edit > Assign Profile. So, if you never work with untagged images, you really don't need to care at all what your working spaces in your Color Settings are set to. You can use the Color Management Polices in the Color settings as a tool that will ask you what to do when you have profile mismatch when you paste. Personally I never use these because I'm always aware of the color space of the pasted content. Also the conversion method set in the Color Settings will be used when pasting. If you want different conversion method paste the content in a new document created with the color space of the clipboard content and then choose Edit > Convert to Profile and after that copy and paste in the desired document with the same color space.

  • Huey Pro Monitor Profile and Lightroom

    I have saved a monitor profile on my computer, but don't understand how Lightroom uses that profile. I am currently using Epson and Ilford Paper on my Epson Stylus Pro 1400 and I have the correct color profiles for those papers.
    My question is, if Lightroom does not manage the printing, what settings should be entered in the Epson Printer Setup to ensure that the printer is using my monitor profile in addition to the correct paper profile?

    Wil-
    First, what Jao said :)
    Second: In regards to printing, a calibrated monitor profile gives us the best shot at a print looking like what we see on the screen, as long as when we print we have LR manage the color using the correct printer/paper profile and we turn off color management in the printer's driver.
    If you have the printer manage color make sure that you tell LR to not manage color. In this case, the answer to your Printer Setup question is you have to choose whatever paper option most closely matches the paper you are using. Then, you have to go through a series of test prints and adjust your print driver color settings until they match what you see on the screen. You may have to alter those settings for different prints, to adjust for different image color balances.
    It's really preferred to let LR do the color management, since you have both a monitor profile and a printer/paper profile.

  • CS6 and ACR Color Settings

    Ok ... I have researched the internet entirely three times over and I can't figure this out. I'll give you as much information as I can think of right from the start. I know it has to do with color management, but I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
    Shoot photos with Canon 6d in sRGB color space
    Open .CR2 with Adobe ACR v8.8.0.397
    Color space in ACR is sRGB IEC6 1966-2.1, 8 bit
    Click on "Open Image", which opens Adobe CS6
    Proof Colors are set to unchecked (off).
    Color settings in CS6 are:
    Here's the comparison of ACR and CS6:
    What am I doing wrong? If my color settings are the same between ACR and CS6 (as shown above), shouldn't' the images be the same in both ACR and photoshop?
    Let the bashing begin ...

    They should indeed. This is a broken monitor profile, affecting the two differently.
    Recalibrate, and make sure your calibrator produces v2, matrix-based profiles (if you don't have those options it does). V4 and LUT profiles can be problematic in some cases. If you don't have a calibrator, use sRGB IEC61966-2.1 for now. Relaunch Photoshop when done:
    BTW, the camera setting for color space is moot. That applies to in-camera processed jpegs, not raw files.

  • Delete Monitor Profile in Photoshop CS5

    I have a corrupted monitor profile in CS5.  Everytime I open the application, I receive the error window.  I have rerun the SpyderPro app and recalibrated but continue to receive the error.  How do I delete the profile so this is no longer pickable as an option under Assign Profile?  I cannot find this profile anywhere.
    Thank you.

    Maybe the "Samsung - Natural Color Pro 1.0 ICM" file is already deleted physically from the HDD, but Windows (registry / control panel) and/or the app with the error are still pointing to it? In this case you need to select a different monitor profile in your OS. What OS are you on?

    I did go into the ProfileChooser for Datacolor and the Samsung profile is not there.  My hidden files are also shown.  I think the profile is embedded somewhere in Photoshop, but I can't seem to find it.
    Press Ctrl+Shift+K in PS. Is your "Samsung - Natural Color Pro 1.0 ICM" selected somewhere in this settings window (in section "woking spaces")? It shouldn't be. Select a different working space.

  • Monitor calibration and photoshop

    After I run a monitor calibration software, I thought all the photos would look correct on my computer no matter what app I use to display them.
    But photos in photoshop looks slightly different from the same photo displayed by the browser or by other applets in windows. So slightly different that you wouldn't normally notice unless you do a side by side compare.
    Apparently photoshop is applying additional color correction on top of what the monitor calibration software has already done. Is this necessary? If this step is necessary, then why doesn't the monitor calibration software do that, so that photoshop doesn't have to, and so that the photo would look the same in the browser as in photoshop?

    what the monitor calibration software has already done. Is this
    necessary? If this step is necessary, then why doesn't the monitor
    calibration software do that, so that photoshop doesn't have to,
    Photoshop doesn't apply any color correction to the images per se, it just operates in a selected color space, and takes into account your monitor profile.
    The monitor calibration tells your video card - or the monitor itself for some high end monitors, how it should be set to meet chosen targets, and generates a profile for the monitor.
    1. Caibrate your monitor and generate a profile
    2. Tell your OS that that it your monitor profile
    3. Set Photoshop to work in the space of your choice - sRGB, Adobe RGB, or ProPhoto 99% of the time
    That takes you to a state where everything is in order more or less. If at this point your images look out of whack, it's almost certainly because they are, perhaps because they were previously corrected on a non-calibrated setup.
    Photoshop and other color managed application should display them all more or less exactly the same, provided the files themselves have a color profile .

  • Photoshop color settings - what is Photoshop doing?

    Hello, I'm trying to understand how converting to different color profiles within Photoshop works.
    What I'm trying to understand is why, when I have a document saved in with an embedded color profile of "Adobe RGB (1998)", when I *convert* the color profile to "Adobe RGB (1998)" (the same profile) the colors change dramatically. If I am converting to the same color profile, shouldn't the colors remain the same, and not change?
    Please note, I'm not having any problems, just trying understand what Photoshop is doing. Thanks for any help!

    This is what I'm seeing, the original image is on the left, the preview image is on the right. Once I click ok, I'm left with the original image. This happens consistently whenever I convert a color profile to itself. Thanks for all your help!

  • Printing from InDesign and Photoshop - colors don't match

    I'm printing the same CMYK image from Photoshop and from InDesign, to a HP desktop color printer. I'm using CS3, all the color settings are identical in both programs, but the printed colors don't match. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    (cross-posted in InDesign forum)

    I have had the same problem: an image printed from PS differs from the same image printed from ID. However, I can't very well print as bitmap from ID since the image is part of a spread, including text. I have tried various combinations of settings. I made the PS image to 100% of the ID final size (in the layout). I tried various print dialogue settings (high transparency flattener, medium transparency flattener, color managed, not color managed, CMYK output and leave unchanged ... every combination I could think of). ID does something on printer output. My understanding (at least from CS2) was that ID output to printer uses a PDF format of some sort. I had the idea maybe the ID output did some sort of resampling or re-rendering of the image, but have not prooved that out. I did get some slight improvement in the ID output when the image in the ID layout was put in at 100% (whereas it had been 88% (the original image being bigger than the ID layout size). What I am getting now in CS3 is a clean looking photo in PS, but in ID, skin tones look somewhat blotchy and a bit more saturated. The PS image is better than ID, and while ID is not bad, why is it not as clean as PS? I can definitely see the difference between PS and ID output and know it will show on press, too. Any suggestions?

  • Custom monitor profiles and the mini....

    I'm thinking of getting the new mac mini, and I see the video card supports two monitors. Does it also support two custom color profiles for people using monitor calibration hardware/software? My old macbook supports an external display, but I can only store one color profile for the laptop lcd. I'd like both external monitors on the mini to be color profiled if possible. I'm an amateur photographer, so this is a wanted feature if I upgrade my computer. Thanks for any information.

    I heard on one other forum that it will from one user. That user did not say how they knew it could, or whether they tried it and it worked. I went to the Apple store and the salesman resorted to asking the genius bar (i had a genius bar appointment figuring the question was too technical for a salesman, so I waited 20 minutes only to have them ask the genius bar anyway). The genius bar answer? They googled it and found a few forums where users, not mac techs, said that yes it would handle two profiles. I'm thinking, what, the genius bar GOOGLED it to find information on their own products technical abilitied? Don't they think I did that, for over a week, before going there? Wow, totally unimpressed with the Apple genius bar now.

  • Monitor/Photoshop/Color profile issue

    heyz! yesterday i changed my monitor profile from srgb to prophoto rgb while viewing some images in photoshop. they displayed the same colors after the change, but today i opened photoshop again and with the same images and all the colors were dissaturated. ive done some search and found the probable cause is a ”broken” monitor profile, or one that doesnt match its capabilities. i changed to adobe rgb, reopened photoshop and that image seems to look right, but i think still not how i remember it from yesterday. my question is: is this really the problem and is there a way i can find whats the largest color space my monitor can display without reading its tech book?( cos its long lost)
    thanks!
    ps: when changing the monitor profile to prophoto i also played with color settings in ps and set it to prophoto/adobe rgb, but that image has an embedded profile and i chose preserve embedded profile when opening it, so i dont think thats the problem.

    If there's a question here it's pretty vague. So, here's how it works, in general terms:
    A monitor profile is a description of the monitor's native color space. And as such it also defines the gamut of your monitor. But the profile doesn't actually "handle" anything, it doesn't do anything - it's just a description.
    Photoshop's color management system is where things are handled. Here, the document color profile is converted, on the fly, into the monitor profile, and these modified RGB values are sent to the monitor. That's all there is to it - a straight and perfectly normal profile conversion. RGB values are remapped to produce the same color.
    Any profile can be converted into any other. But any colors in the source color space that would fall outside the target color space, are just clipped to the gamut limit, and they're effectively gone forever. If you have a ProPhoto file displayed on a standard monitor, it's reasonable to assume that a lot of gamut clipping has occurred before it hits the screen, because the monitor color space is a lot smaller.
    A standard traditional monitor has a native color space that is very close to sRGB. That's why you can use sRGB as display profile, although of course a calibrator will make one that is much more accurate. This is also why sRGB is the standard for web, because it will display roughly right even without any color management.
    Some monitors have a larger color space, and are close to Adobe RGB. These are relatively expensive and are known as wide gamut. If you have such a monitor, it can only be used with full end-to-end color management. In the absence of color management, sRGB material will not display correctly on these monitors, but considerably oversaturated. This is the implication you have to accept when you buy a wide gamut monitor.

  • Photoshop CS5 still chooses wrong monitor profile in dual monitor case?

    The folk lore has it that if you go to EDIT/COLOR SETTINGS and open the Working Spaces RGB drop down, then what it says near the top on the "Monitor RGB" line is the monitor profile that photoshop is actually using.
    If that is true, then I would expect that if I run photoshop on my monitor 1 it would show the profile of monitor 1, and if I run PS on monitor 2 it would show the profile of monitor 2. But in fact, it always shows the profile of monitor 1. Naturally, this creates anxiety that PS is using the wrong profile to display my images, since I normally run with the image on monitor 2.
    My setup: Windows 7 64-bit, PS 12.0.1 x64. Matrox M9120 graphics card driving two monitors. Windows CONTROL PANEL/COLOR MANAGEMENT shows a different profile active on each monitor.
    (By running photoshop on a particular monitor, I mean I run photoshop, drag it in non-full screen mode to the desired monitor, and close it. Then I run it again and it starts on that monitor (including the splash screen).)

    Emil, Sorry, I disagree. It relates entirely to how Photoshop handles profiles, not how the operating system does.
    Windows operating system doesn't handle color profiles at all, but it provides all programs that do with the same way to handle them. If you have the color profiles of your monitors installed properly in the system, they will be equally available to all programs. If a program can use properly one color profile for one monitor it will do the same with more.

    I also have CorelDraw which is a colour managed application. If I set that straddling two monitors, do you think it will use the appropriate monitor profile for each half? I don't know, ...
    I don't have CorelDraw and don't know if it is color managed, but if it is and if the color management on your system is working properly it should give you the same result as Photoshop. Just go ahead and check it - open the same image in Photoshop and in CorelDraw and make a screen capture then measure the RGB values in Photoshop or any program that displays the RGB numbers of colors. But have in mind that a screen capture from multiple monitors that share the desktop will capture the entire shared desktop on one image (if monitors are different sizes it will leave blank areas around the smaller one depending on the alignment), but the same colors will be the same on the entire screen capture using the effect from the color profile only of your main monitor. So if you want to measure how the other monitor displays the RGB color values of the same color, you have to change it  to your main monitor in your system in order to have the screen capture with the effect of that monitor's color profile.
    On my computer using Windows 7, all color managed programs show the same colors on one or more monitors. Along with the color managed programs from Adobe like Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and AfterEffects, the other color managed programs like Windows Explorer, Windows Media Player, Firefox, QuickTime, etc also show the same RGB values of a color from each program on a certain monitor.
    Basically, if the color management is working properly, the same color displayed from all color managed programs should look the same or as close as possible on each monitor, but when you capture the screen and measure the RGB values they should be different on each monitor unless the monitors are physically identical which is unreal.
