Pantone/PMS Color Profile option available in Photoshop?

I've never worked with Pantone colors previously, so forgive me if I am missing something, or being stupid (or if my client is), etc. I have received logos in RGB, as jpeg files (I also have the EPS versions). My client insists that these images are not to be in RGB, and that the colors follow their Pantone specifications. These logos are with the intent of printing.
I have received the RGB and CMYK equivalents that the previous Marketing company had provided, so achieving the desired color is not a problem. When I pick up the color, and select the color libraries, I see that corresponding Pantone color is correct. So, once I change the colors and save the files, they're obviously still RGB unless I change it to CMYK. Is [Image-->Mode-->CMYK] correct when dealing with Pantone printing? Is there no image mode for PMS? I am not doing the printing so I don't need specification beyond the point of saving the file.
Thanks

Pantone Colors are Spot Colors, one can create Spot Channels in Photoshop.
Claiming an RGB image without Spot Channels conforms to Pantone Colors seems potentially problematic.
The result of converting an RGB image to CMYK for printing depends on the RGB color space (hopefully the profile has been embedded)), the CMYK target space and the separation settings like the Render Intent.
Assuming some particular RGB values will always result in the intended appearance (as defined by some Pantone Color) in CMYK is basically unjustified when one considers how many Pantone Colors’ appearance is out of gamut for many and in some cases even for all CMYK spaces.
(While it’s possible that your customer has made sure all the Pantone Colors they use in their logo are in gamut for the used RGB space and most CMYK spaces I would not like to rely on that.)
Are the eps versions of the logos vector data or pixel eps?
If they are vector they may well contain the correct Pantone Colors, do you have Illustrator, Indesign or Acrobat?

  • Color Profile Options using Photoshop as External Editor

    Dear Folks:
    When I open an image in Photoshop as external editor, I get these choices:
    - use the imbedded profile (instead of the working space)
    - convert documents colors to the working space
    - discard the embedded profile (don't color manage)
    I'm using Photoshop 7 and iPhoto 5. My Camera is a Canon Powershot S410. iPhoto seems to retain the sRGB IEC61966-2.1 working space from my camera.
    What choice do I want and why?
    Is there something odd about my camera?
    Thanks!

  • Picture color profile in Lightroom vs Photoshop CS2 editing

    Hi all, I hope someone can solve this for me.
    When I'm viewing picture in Light room, all my pictures are a bit warmer ( have a yellowish tint to them ) compared to when I view them in Photoshop CS2. The same is true if I view them in other programs. This is true for all my picture file type (jpg, tif or raw). I get the feeling that it's Light room that in the wrong in how it displays the picture and not the other programs. Using the warms tool to make the picture a bit colder, only adds a bluish tint to the image which isn't even close to what it looks like (unedited) in Photoshop.
    I get the feeling that Lightroom does something to the picture, or uses some sort of color profile, driver that other programs don't use.
    Is there a way of changing this?

    >When I purchase these ADOBE products I expect them to JUST WORK!!!!!
    Unfortunately, when Microsoft, Dell and others enter the fray it's no longer up to just the Adobe folks. Differences between Photoshop and Lightroom are almost always due to a corrupt monitor profile. Adobe has nothing to do with that.
    >I dont wanna have to be worried about corrupt profiles yada yada yada!!!
    I just want to be able to do my color correction and exposure corrections in Lightroom export as a High Res Jpeg and then do the remainder of my work in Photoshop and have them both look the same.
    If your screen is correctly calibrated that will be the case. Unfortunately if you want to do color sensitive work on a computer with a typical monitor, you have to have a rudimentary understanding of profiles and color management. There is unfortunately no way around it. This is no different from traditional color photography where you have to understand what different film, different filters and different development do to your colors. The terminology is just different.
    >How do I fix this and please go through it STEP BY STEP BY STEP!!!!
    I am not one for the computer lingo....
    OK. I'll assume first that you have no hardware calibrator and that you are on windows:
    1. Make sure your Photoshop color settings are set up to respect embedded profiles. See the
    first screenshot in this post(ignore everything else as it is no longer relevant in LR 2).
    2. Open your monitor's properties panel, click on advanced and go to the color management tab. Delete any profile you see there. This is the culprit. Probably a bad profile got installed in some driver update for your graphics card or your monitor.
    3. Restart Lightroom and Photoshop and that's it! You'll have corresponding colors. You are however, cheating yourself as your monitor is completely uncalibrated. This is how 99% of computer users run their monitors.
    So here is what you should be doing if you care about your color and matching to print and making sure that others see the same colors. Even though hardly anybody calibrates, the only way to get a good average correspondence is to calibrate your monitor and use color managed apps. This sequence is valid for both macs and PCs
    1. Do as above step one and make sure Photoshop is set up correctly and then go out and buy a hardware calibrator (or order online). They can be had for <$100 for pretty good ones. Look for example for Spyder2 and Huey Pro.
    2. Calibrate your screen following the instructions from the software
    3. Restart Lightroom and Photoshop. Now you'll have identical but correct color.
    If you have a mac, you can cheat slightly and use http://www.computer-darkroom.com/colorsync-display/colorsync_1.htm instead of hardware calibration. You cannot expect very good correspondence between monitor and prints though with that method.

  • Embed Color Profile When Saving In Photoshop?

    Hi all -
    Let's say I am saving a TIFF as a background for a DVDSP 4 menu out of Photoshop. Do I want to have the Embed Color Profile checked or not? How does a make a difference to DVDSP (if it does)? Mine is set to sRGB IEC61966-2.1
    Thanks,
    Jason

    I believe sRGB is the default for most screen-based systems such as DVD studio. You shouldn't notice a significant shift if you stay in this color space in DVD studio. Just make sure it isn't Adobe RGB. This is a very specialized space for advanced Photography for use with hexachrome printing workflows. Monitors and TV's can't reproduce the colors represented in Adobe RGB and it is unwise to make color decisions on such monitors without advanced training on how and why to use wider color spaces such as Adobe RGB. In contrast sRGB is created to be about the same as most monitors ad TV's so what you see is very similar to what will be visible on your target medium.

  • Is there any Profile option available to encrypt and use APPS password Oracle Application Host script

    @Hi, How do we encrypt APPS password usage  in Oracle Application Host script and still let it be used in encrypted format (eg.$1, $FCP_LOGIN should not show plain text password).
    Appreciate the process along with any Profile available to place this control.
    Concurrent Program Setup Option SECURE/ENCRYPT controls $1, $FCP_LOGIN respectively, but Developer still has access to view/log the APPS Password.
    Can we have a System profile or an Apps DBA level Setup to encrypt and use the APPS/Password.
    Thanks in Advance
    Lakshmi

    Are you linking the host script to fndcpesr? E.g.:
    Host script defined with prog extension:
    XXSCRIPT.prog
    Move it to relevant dir:
    $XX_TOP/bin
    Create a soft link to fndcpesr
    ln -s $FND_TOP/bin/fndcpesr XXSCRIPT

  • Smart collection has "source color profile" as filter option, does not work on camera profiles

    In Lightroom 5 i tried to use the "source color profile" filter option in smart collection, however it only seems to work on rgb files (jpg, tiff) that have a profile embedded. It does not work on values like "Adobe Standard" which is a "source" profile of a RAW file, or any of the camera profiles i can choose fo given Raw file. What am i doing wrong?
    The Help does not give any clue on this, nor does the coverage by any of the Lightroom guru's like Juleanne Kost.

    In my opinion the filter is acting correctly.
    The Adobe Standard profile is not a profile defined in the source file, it is a profile assigned to the file in the raw converter and used with raw files that do not have a source color profile, already, so to me the filter is acting correctly because “source” means where the profile comes from, rather than what profile a master photo has had assigned to it. 
    The source-color-profile option is useful to determine the size of the color gamut in a file’s color numbers which indicates its suitability for various purposes:  An sRGB file can be safely uploaded to the web, an AdobeRGB file is going to look right on a wide-gamut monitor and printablebut shouldn’t be uploaded to the web, while a ProPhotoRGB file has a large color space and can be safely edited in a way that adjusts the colors significantly, especially if it is 16-bit, without color-banding or posterization, but a ProPhotoRGB file will probably not look good if directly uploaded to the web or sent to a print-shop that doesn’t do their own color profile conversions.
    I would agree that being able to filter raw files based on the assigned color profile would also be useful, but this is a different thing, to me at least, than filtering by the source-color-profile.

  • Disappearing color profile when saved for the Web

    Hello.
    I have a problem with the “Save for the Web” results using Photoshop CS6 running on Win 7 x64.
    My photos are already in 8 bits and in sRGB and when I save for the Web I check the option “embed color profile”, uncheck “convert to sRGB”, metadata to “copyright and contact info”.
    When I open the resulting photos in Photoshop, everything is fine as it recognizes the embedded color profile. Same thing when I open these files in Firefox, Safari or Chrome: the colors are correct.
    Now, when I right-click on a file in the Win Explorer and look its properties, the line about the color profile is blank, as if there wasn't any. This doesn't bother me but the problem appears on my Website created with Joomla and using for the display a module, Responsive Image Gallery, which creates resized copies of the photos. At this point the copies have completely lost their color profile. I entered in contact with the module's support and they assured me that it preserves the embedded profile, so I come here to gather some information about how this “Save for the Web” embeds the color profile because may be I just didn't understand how it does and if it's different from the “Save as” way.
    The fact I can't see the profile through the Win Explorer makes me think Joomla's module doesn't either.

    Incredible how much gballard's site is famous! Lol. I use it for a while now and checked again right now with the three Web browsers and everything is all right.
    As indicated in my first post, when saving for the Web I checked the “embed color profile” option. I already resized the file and converted it in sRGB first in Photoshop.
    Yes it's pretty confusing to see some software not able to see the color profile when the file is saved with that option.
    To illustrate, here are three screenshots from Windows' file browser => right-ckick on the file => properties => details:
    Opening that “saved for the Web” file in PS, it's ok, the CP is recognized.
    Opening it directly (from the file browser => “open with”) in Web browsers: ok in Firefox, Safari and Chrome (CP recognized in all).
    Copying that file in my working site on localhost (no modification), integer it in Joomla's module gallery (which is CP aware) and then opening my site on localhost with Web browsers: ok in Firefox (because it considers a non-tagged file by default as beeing sRGB), NOT OK in Safari neither in Chrome.
    Now, if I do the same with the “Save as” version of the file with embedded sRGB CP:
    PS: ok
    Opened directly in Web browsers: ok in the three cases
    Opened in Web browsers through my Joomla site on localhost: OK IN ALL THREE BROWSERS
    Good point gator_soup: I'll post a bug report. I'm new here on the forum and thought Adobe's staff would post here.

  • ****yellowish color shift in LIGHTROOM: disabling monitor color profile in LR?

    Hi all,
    I would love to know if there is a way to ***disable the monitor (color) profile**** in LR.
    WHY?
    Cause all my pictures seems yellowish in LR, and not anywhere else (firefox, i.e, photoshop, xnview, etc...)
    I solved the same problem in PHOTOSHOP, this way :
    when loading images in photoshop, during starting up, I got this very message :
            " The monitor profile 'LG L245WP' appears to be defective. Please rerun your monitor calibration software. "
    with two possible options :
            "Ignore profile" or "use anyway"
    Then if I use "Ignore profile" everything is fine!
    If I select "use anyway" --> Wrong, all my pictures are yellowish.
    That's why I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW, pleaaaaaase if I can do the same in LR.
    I personnally didn't find, or what else I should do ?!  Knowing that I do not have a ...too expensive!... calibration tool , and my monitor is a LG, L245WP.
    ----> Thanx sooo much for your help.
           I would love to use LR, but this way I can't...

           Looks fine anywhere else, and in photoshop, if "Ignore profile" is selected

    DdeGannes, Sean : thanx.
    I went to my vista profil , added a profile in relation with my screen... but then which on should I select , between the several sRGB options :
    - WCS profile :  sRGB     a file named wsRBG.cdmp
    or
    - ICC profile : sRGB IEC 61966-2.1 ?
                                       ( of course I have many more... but....none of the others are sRGB profiles )
    Then have you both a calibrator, and you both did all the color "chain" from CAMERA to PRINTER ?
    I am asking.... cause all these adjustments + buying a calibrator seems tough to me to manage/achieve.
    You know :  I'm not a professional ...
    To me, non - pro, it looks even more dangerous to do so than leaving evreything in default mode & presets...
    Should I do something wrong...
    NO?
    Moreover I mean : this is odd that my computer , or/AND (?) screen ,
    doesn't have a "default setting" which would be suitable in LR , at least which no colour shift !
    ( I just change my LG screen mode to 5600K etc... and still I have the same yellowish gap in LR )
    Why would my color management just be wrong in LR or Photoshop ?
    Doesn't this light something I miss to you both, maybe professionals?
    If I read you fine, + the other website... everything is kind of automatic now in every softwares... even xnview, firefox, (not i.e.) etc...
    so why just LR + photoshop, would be mistaken on my computer,
    and Firefox, Xnview, CANON softwares, Painter, ... all show the right profile & colors ???? This is sooooooo weird....to me.
    I mean I got the the point that my whole color management is unshure...
    but it nevertheless it should BE THE SAME through all my softwares... NO ?
    Isn't there a general ADOBE setting somewhere, that might be bugged instead?
    I still think , according to that, that we are missing something.
    Sorry to bother you with my thoughts....
    kiwiii ( paris - france )
    ps/ Does really Photoshop detect the changes I would do directly on my screen ?
         Because when I switch from sRGB, to 6500 K , 9300K or user... on my screen,
         I STILL HAVE the PHOTOSHOP ERROR message :
         " The monitor profile 'LG L245WP' appears to be defective. Please rerun your monitor calibration software. "
          I mean PHOTSHOP doesn't seem to notice (give a damn) on any change I make !?
          As for the rest of my computer I never changed any COLOR PROFILE anywhere... So how do people do without a calibrator to use LR ?
          Is it possible at least?
          Is my screen (i thought so good) totally bugged, if none of my color profile is "ok" for photoshop & LR ?
    THANX AGAIN FOR READING and helping me...

  • Lost color profile

    When I use autofix in Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.0, photos that previously had an embedded color profile (Adobe RGB) lose the color profile - when I open the edited version of the photo in Photoshop 6.0, I am told that there is no embedded color profile (the original is recognized as having Adobe RGB in Photoshop). Is there any way to retain the profile after using Autofix and, if not, should I re-assign Adobe RGB in Photoshop or should I assign sRGB and then convert to Adobe RGB working space? (The latter seems to yield better results).

    Hi Nathaniel,
    I tried autofixing an image shot with Canon PowerShot camera with embeded sRGB profile in Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.0, it did not discarded the embeded color profile (I checked in Photoshop CS)
    If you are getting better results with the second option then you should go ahead with it.
    Hope this helps.

  • Intel-Mac Color Profile Issues

    Afternoon Folks,
    Just picked up my 15" MPB this past Friday. My iMac had packed it in, so went for broke and got a 15", with 2GB of RAM and the 256MB video.
    So..besides the Type-1 font problem, I have a HUGE problem with Color Profiles.
    In Adobe Photoshop CS my RGB values are not being displayed properly. I am using the IEC-61966-2.1 profile in Photoshop, CorelDraw, Dreamweaver and Ilustrator. Images that worked on my old Mac are being mucked with somehow.
    Example. I have a bunch of vectors files for a client that use the following values:
    RGB = 41-56-91
    CMYK = 91-80-39-31
    Hex = 29385B
    (you can view thsi color on brooksbrothers.com)
    but if I touch the old files with any app on the new system, the values get changed. I take an existing CDR file, open it in CorelDraw and export to JPG, and the value is change on the blue. I take an existing jpg, open it with Photoshop, close the file, and re-open it and the value is changed.
    I can't afford to re-do all the colors for this client, as they really like this shade of blue. Is anyone else dealing with this nightmare?
    Anyone else think Apple jumped the gun on the chip-set switch?
    Sincerely,
    Scott

    FYI, I haven't done any major profile tweaks or anything, just running on default. But I have noticed the color profile of the general OS is considerably warmer on my screen, thus affecting warm colors like yellows, oranges, and greens for me.
    I colored an illustration on my MBP in Flash, and when I checked it on my G4 and other monitors, a lot of my warms were hot and not so great.
    Not sure why this is, but I am a bit concerned, as color is very important to my work. This is my first laptop, but I expected color issues on laptops to be somewhat resolved at this point. In many ways, I prefer the way colors look on my MBP, so maybe the world will just change for me

  • No color management option is not available in photoshop cs5 mac

    Currently have CS5 for Mac; upgraded to Mavericks and now the "no color management option" in the print dialog box is not selectable. Any help with this please advise.

    If we're looking at the same thing that's greyed out (the Color Mode setting for an Epson printer), to make that active you have to first choose Color Matching, which is in the same menu that Printer Settings is on, and then choose Epson Color Controls. But on my Mac, Color Mode is already set to "Off (No Color Management)" even though it's grayed out.
    If it says "Off (No Color Management)" in the printer driver and at the same time Photoshop is set to "Photoshop Manages Colors" and the correct printer profile is selected in Photoshop, you should be fine.
    It's important to note that the only purpose for the Adobe Color Printer Utility is to bypass OS color management in order to print targets for printer profiling, not to print actual images. If you're trying to print an image, you shouldn't be using the Color Print Utility. The utility won't add back a No Color Management option to Photoshop itself, because that option has been permanently removed.
