PDF/X-4 Device Colour Space inconsistency issue or not

Hi all,
If a deviceRGB image is lying completely outside of trim and bleed, and the PDF/X output intent is set to CMYK, should a preflight flag this as an error according to ISO1590-7:2010 or not? I have tools that currently do this. If I read chapter 6.4.3.2 of ISO 15930-7:2010, I'm not really sure that is what these preflight app's should do:
Device colour spaces may be used for print elements only if:
⎯ they match the space specified in the PDF/X output intent; or
⎯ the PDF/X output intent specifies a CMYK print characterization, and the device colour space is DeviceGray.
All input to help me solve this puzzle is more than welcome.

Looks like I was confusing the Ghent Workgroup specs (and their use of TrimBox to define an area for print elements) with the PDF/X-4 standard which clearly (6.1.3) says that anything drawn on the page is a print element.
Sorry for the confusion.

  • I have a colour space/ calibration issue iPad 2

    Dear apple community
    I really hope someone can help me fix this or at least provide a temporary fix.
    I  do a lot of graphic art on all my apple devices; MacBook, iPad 2, iPhone 5 etc.
    So lately I was using Sketchbook Ink and was doing a portrait of a woman wearing a jacket.
    The jacket's colour on the ipad was BLUE
    But when exported to my computer or uploaded to facebook, all the blue colours had turned purple.
    And some of the other colours also seemed very dull when compared to viewing on the ipad screen
    Has anybody else out there experienced the same issues?
    If you could offer any advice or fix, I'd very much appreciate it.
    Thank you

  • Working Colour Space and sRGB

    Only partially related to CR, I'm still unclear about using different colour spaces in my workflow, as a semi-pro photographer producing images for the internet, projector, and for home printing.
    I found this topic in the archive:
    Klaas Visser, "ProPhoto vs sRGB" #1, 15 Nov 2006 4:36 pm
    and was still left puzzled.
    I read Bruce/Jeff's book a year ago, and took in the recommendation to use ProPhotoRGB as the target colour space, but am still not clear WHY, and if it is relevant to a workflow which results in a reduced sRGB jpeg, or an A3/A4-sized print on a SOHO 6-colour injet printer. Does CR work best in ProPhoto?
    Recent conversations have led me to believe that there is little point starting with a ProPhoto colour space if the end medium uses a much smaller gamut, like a calibrated monitor, projector, or domestic inkjet printer. Not only that, but the colour space conversion process will actually degrade the image unnecessarily. I'm told that it's better to start with the final colour space and avoid conversions. One friend went to great lengths to explain to me that a larger gamut with the same bit depth had "bigger gaps" between colours and therefore less accurate colour resolution.
    Well, the theory in both camps seems sound, so I'm left in confusion. I could spend many hours (and money) on doing test conversions and prints, and examine fine details with a large magnifying glass, but I was hoping: could somebody put me out of my misery with a logical explanation of best practices?

    > Recent conversations have led me to believe that there is little point starting with a ProPhoto colour space if the end medium uses a much smaller gamut ...
    You don't sound that confused -- you simply need to decide on what your target color space (CS) gamut should be. You're correct in noting that color gamut conversions are somewhat destrustive, but there nothing wrong with minimizing them, and restricting them for going from large to small gamuts only.
    A large CS gamut (PpRGB) is capable of all the color from your camera (depending on your camera), but like your friend implies most probably sould be editted in highbit depth (16bits). This CS is useful for archiving your images, or for aggressive tonal adjustments. (... although your images are 'really' archived as raw data, and ACR "undestructively" modified tonal values before exporting to Photoshop).
    I find little utility in exporting to small CS gamuts (eg, sRGB), unless the image is intended for a small gamut (monitors in general - eg, web browser presentations, and/or printers that can only relate to sRGB).
    In between are intermediate CS gamuts (eg, AdobeRGB), which are quite capable of small tonal adjustments with 8bit depth, for which the target gamuts are usually better printer technologies.

  • Colour space issues

    Hi,
    I'm trying to figure out what's going on with colour spaces once I export a video. I've made a video from srgb jpegs and everything looks fine in Premiere Elements, but as soon as I export it as a video (have trived several formats) the colours are dulled and the contrast reduced (a common colour space issue).
    Does anyone know why this happens and if so how to avoid it?
    Specifically in this case I'm exporting photos from Photoshop Lightroom to srgb jpegs which I then import to Premiere Elements 7. The original pictures as well as the jpegs look fine. The jpegs and the movie also looks fine inside Premiere, but as soon as I export it to an avi or quicktime file I get something like a 15% decrease of both contrast and saturation.

    One problem exporting to Quicktime from Premiere Elements has been discussed in the past, and it was found that PE does not correctly write atom data to the MOV header, so that when you play back the MOV file, it plays back in Apples color space on a PC, giving it a washed out look. The only computer where they will look correct is on an Apple computer. I've exported to Quicktime in other applications, and the results come out correctly when played on a PC.
    And then, media players can make the video look too dark or too light, depending on which video renderer is used. In some video applications you have an option to select from 4 different types of video rendering for previewing playback. Some make the video look perfect while others make the video have less contrast. Then you may think that your video or images don't look right, and you start making color corrections.
    On my computer Premiere Elements doesn't use the overlay mode, which is the mode that most closely resembles playback on my TV when the DVD player has black levels turned off. When editing in Premiere Elements, highlights look blown out. At one time I would compensate by changing the contrast and brightness. But after burning a DVD and playing it back on TV through the DVD player or in Windows Media Player, the video was too dark.
    I've learned not to mess with the color too much in Premiere Elements. Not everyone will be able to play back your video and see it the way you intended.

  • Can anyone tell me how to convert crop marks to registration on a supplied pdf. The pdf also has spot colours which the crop marks need to be in too.

    Can anyone tell me how to convert crop marks to registration on a supplied pdf. The pdf also has spot colours which the crop marks need to be in too.

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,

  • Pixma Pro 100 Colour Space Questions

    Hi
           I Have a few questions related to Printing from lightroom I am new to this so bare with me.
    1) I have a canon 7D I shoot in Raw 12-14 bit  ? and most of my processing is done within lightroom so no need to export to photoshop however if i was to would this export as a 16bit file tiff or Jpeg ? If so if I was to after post processing in photoshop then back into lightroom this would only allow me to print in tiff or jpeg is this correct as a psd file/jpeg ?.
    2) As I only edit in lightroom I can print directly in CR2 Raw format 12-14bit by using the canon print studio pro plugin ? or is this exported to the translator as a 16bit file ? and then use the paper manufactures ICC profile i.e (canon paper) for best results do I lose colour print quality by printing from Raw  12-14 bit rather than 16bit tiff/jpeg.
    3) By using the Paper Manufactures ICC Profiles will the original raw file 12-14bit from  7Dcamera sRGB be translated to the printer by default from lightroom or is the colour space not needed as I havent converted to 16 Bit in post processing?
    3) I havent had my monitor calibrated yet but intend to do so in the future, but until then I see no point in messing around with pro mode or sRGB or Adobe RGB or Pro photoRGB.
    4) If I use lightrooms canon print studio pro pluggin is the colour space automatically translated from the settings in my camera or do I need to enable this in lightroom first ?.
    5) I use a Mac running yosemite 10.10 and would like to know more about ICC profiles where to find the manufactures ICC Profiles how to download and where to store can you recommend a common website for learning how to do this on a mac ?.
    6) As you can see I just want to print the best images from camera to printer without to much science involved however I am willing to learn but get confused with the different workspace post production softwares menu's for best results which i would prosume until i get my monitor calibrated proffesionally would be to print from Raw with the Manufactures ICC Profiles ?.
    7) Are colour space and calibration settings all about printing what you have on the screen or is it mainly for extra colour depth in the print ?.
    I can self calibrate my monitor to adobe RGB and have my camera shoot on adobe RGB -calibration with software but have been told i need colour monitoring devices correct ? if I was to do this and still just used the ICC paper profiles would the prints be any better ?.
    My first prints were excellent very similar to what I see on the screen anyway but I checked lightrooms settings and these are on Pro photo RGB for external editing and is this the colour space for print studio pluggin also or is it just native Raw sRGB if I change the settings it says I will lose the maxium potential colour space.
    sorry for the influx of questions :-)

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You can not set the printer to match the monitor.  You must set the monitor to match the printer.  But the printer is already calibrated by the factory.
    First, you must not let the printer set anything.  Turn off every bit off control it has.  You can do this with the Canon My Printer under the Printer Settings tab.  Do you know how?  I will guess, yes, for now but if you don't get back to me.
    Second, you need to have your photo editor (like Photoshop or Lightroom) handle all the print settings and color matching. You know how to do this? I prefer Photoshop and I use AdobeRGB color space.
    And lastly, it is essential you get some settings on your monitor that somewhat matches what the printer is printing.  Your printer may be doing exactly what you are telling it to do and you have no idea it is, because your monitor is so far off.  If you don't do this step, you can forget the other steps.  However, there are only a few things that you need to be concerned with. You don't need any fancy extra add-on to do this.  No additional software or gadgets, etc.  No monkeys, no spiders, nothing!
    Most people set their monitors too bright.
    You must get the gray-scale very close.  You need to get the brightness very close and you need the contrast very close.
    After you do these things you can make adjustments to your prints by just looking at your screen.  Because you know the monitor and printer are on the same level.  One more point, you can NOT get a printer to print every color exactly the way you see it.  It isn't possible as all colors and adjustments effect all others.  My goal is to get the skin tones right.  That is what people notice most. Remember you are dealing with two different disciplines here.  One is colored light and the other is colored dyes.  They are not the same thing.
    For instance, I know my Pro-100 tends to print slightly darker than what I see on the monitor (typical).  So, I automatically know to set it's prints 1/2 to one stop brighter in Photoshop, in my case.  It also prints with a slightly warn tone.  Most of the time, with portraits especially, this if OK but sometimes it is not.  In that case I adjust the "temp" setting slightly cooler in PS.
    All the Canon photo printers I have ever seen have this warm/magenta cast.  Canon engineers must prefer this look.  It can not be changed.  You need to "fix" it in post.
    Make sure you have the correct ICC profiles and you are using Canon brand ink and paper until you get good with the printer.  Very, very important, otherwise you don't know if the printer is doing exactly what you are telling it to or not.
    Important is, use the USB connection until everything is right.  You are just adding another issue when you try to set up the printing and the wireless all at the same time.  Just like using Canon branded products until it is a go.  Use a real printer USB cable.  Not just any old USB cable. Get everything right before you explore.
    Good luck.

  • Error message in Adobe Pdf in printer device panel when trying to create a pdf document.  I have CS3

    Error message in Adobe Pdf in printer device panel when trying to create a pdf document.  I have CS3 Web Premium with Acrobat Professional 8.  I use it fine on my old computer with Windows XP.  I recently got a new laptop with Windows 7.  I installed all my Adobe programs, and I think they are working.  When I look at Adobe PDF in the device section of the Control Panel it looks okay.  But when I try to print a Word, Photoshop, or HTML page in PDF, nothing happens.  I have tried printing both as File>print and using the PDF tab on the top menu bar.  I look at the device in the control panel and it has the yellow error warning symbol and suggests trying to troubleshoot.  I look at the document list and it says status "error".  When I try troubleshooting Windows suggests doing some Home Sharing and also suggests canceling the document I'm trying to print.  I tried re-installing just Acrobat 8 from CS3 (and have to use Photoshop CS4 disk for shared documents I guess).  I ran into a can't locate adobepdf_dll file, so did a web search on this issue and found a suggestion that I find and use the adobepdf_dll_64 file and may have to (I did have to) remove the "_64" for it to work.  I think I successfully reinstalled using that dll file- no errors came up anyway.  But still when I try printing/converting a photoshop, webpage, or word document into pdf, the pdf device in control panel still gives the error status on the document and gives the same troubleshooting advice.  Help?

    I just compared the properties between the two computers.  On the old computer it has the port as "My Documents/*.pdf".  On my new computer it lists the port as "LPT1".  I tried changing the port to "Print as File", but when I try printing a photoshop picture as pdf, I get a "Access Denied".  I then tried to create a new port on the device control panel.  I tried to create a local port "My Documents/*.pdf" port but was denied.  I ten tried to create a new port type and control panel asked for an INF file.  I wonder if this is where my problem lies.  Thoughts?

  • When I save eps file as a PDF it loses whole colours, but I can see the colours in preview and if I open the PDF in Photoshop. What is going on?

    Has anyone else encountered this? I want to save a 2 colour logo (CMYK) as a print ready PDF but when it opens in Adobe Acrobat the black is missing or the green is missing. I can see all the colours there in preview and if I open the PDF file in Photoshop, all the colours as as they should be!!!

    No.. sorry.. it does not seem possible effect .. if you can write you must be able to read..
    Are you using the TC with user profiles?
    What security are you using for disk access?
    What happens if you do turn on full guest access to read and write.. ?
    When the Mac that can save but cannot read does drop the file onto the TC,, can the other Mac's see that file? In other words is the file really there.. has it copied correctly. I still think if it has copied and you cannot read it back there is some permissions issues.
    Try creating a new user on the Mac that has issues.. and see if the new user and read and write correctly. Make sure the new user has at least equal rights as the users on the Mac's that can read and write without issues.
    Your intial question suggested this problem was spread over more than computer.. your second reply has reduced the issue to just one computer.. logically the issue is not the TC.. it is that computer. Ironically I have found logic for computer troubleshooting falls well behind voodoo. 

  • Newbie PDF screen display/print colour problem

    First let me say I've been searching through the forums for an answer for my problem and drawn a blank, mostly I suspect because I'm not exactly sure what the problem is.  Also I understand the basics of colour profiles but a large proportion of it goes over my head.
    The problem:
    Our key "corporate" colour is C0 M100 Y75 K25 - I can get reliable and pretty consistent print colour that I am happy with, across a range of devices from documents I produce in Indesign
    For screen output e.g. our website, taking an average of several different devices and monitors (none with any kind of calibration i.e. an average user) this equates to approx R130 G11 B34
    I am producing a number of PDF 'factsheets' that will be downloadable from the website and I anticipate that some people will just view these 'on screen' and some will print out for reference.
    The problem is C0 M100 Y75 K25 and R130 G11 B34 look radically different when viewed on screen or printed - I almost need a PDF 'screen' profile and print profile within the same document. I know I can get a match on my screen if I calibrate it, but I need it to look more or less correct for anybody who views the PDF.
    I hope I've explained this clearly enough and any help or direction anyone can give would be really appreciated!
    Thanks in advance

    Ahhhh...I see what you are saying now Rob.  Unfortunately the docs don't soft proof correctly on my display either - take on board that my display is not calibrated and also I would think 99.9% of the target audience for the PDF won't have a calibrated display either - so I am after a solution that falls to the lowest common denominator.
    However, if my understanding of what you are saying is correct, if I had a profile that I could use on my uncalibrated monitor that soft-proofs correctly (more or less - I'm not going for absolute accuracy, just somewhere in the right ballpark), then using the PDF/X4 preset with that profile set would mean others opening the PDF on similarly uncalibrated monitors would also see the more or less correct colours?
    Would that profile not throw the colours out on the print if that end user then decided to print it out?
    Again, apologies for the simple nature of the questions, but I've only been using InDesign for about 8 months and so far I've lived with the colours appearing wrong on screen as I've known they come out how I expect at print time.  This is the first thing I've done where I would like it to look more-or-less correct on screen as well as in print.
    Thanks for taking the time to reply, I really do appreciate it

  • Help problem with workspace e.g. colour space!

    Hi everyone, made a bit of a mistake...I completed a whole short project with alot of shots from after effects.  However I did not select a workspace, so for a long time now I have been going mad trying to work out why the project wasn't coming up to scratch after I exported it.  The colours were becoming way to saturated, and darker.
    Now I have realized that its because of the workspace, but now if I select a preset the whole scene will change.  This is especially apparent with one shot which I have done with a 3D camera, and lighting.  What ever colour space I select effect how the image looks, either it will be too dark, to light or too saturated.  I am working in HDV, so the most obvious colour space to use is the one for that.  However the image becomes low in contrast, and due to the nature of many differnt items in one shot, they are all effected differently...
    Is there any easy way I can export the video with no colour space, without the colours changing in the render?  Or is there a way I can use the presets without effecting what I have already done?  With no colour space selected, what are the colour settings?  Many thanks.

    Is there any easy way I can export the video with no colour space,
    without the colours changing in the render?  Or is there a way I can
    use the presets without effecting what I have already done?  With no
    colour space selected, what are the colour settings?  Many thanks.
    That's a complicated question, Will. Many people turn off Color Management (in applications tha traditionally had Color Management, I mean) because they hope that turning it off means avoiding color management. It probably means bad color management
    But that's a long subject. There's also room for opinion.
    The very, very short answer could be: if the Project Working Space is the one you should use for your target medium (say, HDTV REC.709), and you make sure source files are intepreted correctly (HDV files should automatically show an embedded profile, but you can manually assign an HDTV. REC 709 Input profile if they don't.), then color rendering should behave even better than the generic RGB space used when there's no Project Working Space assigned (CM off).
    Two things are true, though. One is that turning on Color Management if you're not familiar with what you're doing could do more harm than good (there's a very good white paper on Color Management available from Adobe).
    For example:
    Do not use an output profile in the Render Queue unless you know why you are doing it.
    Do not use display management/device simulation if your computer monitor is not calibrated.
    Do not linerize the project or enable the option to blend using 1.0 gamma unless you know what you're doing.
    And the other, that people have been using AE without CM (it debuted in CS3) without getting color or luminance shifts. If you see very noticeable shifts, it probably is because of something else (or bad use of CM).
    An imporant question - the color shifts you are seeing, are these evident in the Comp panel as soon as you assign a project working space (like HDTV. REC 709) or do they appear later in the rendered file? Because changes introduced by the project space should be immediately noticeable in the Comp panel. If they appear in the rendered file only, then it's most likely something else (the rendering options, the format/codec you're exporting to, etc).

  • Colour Space / Workflow question.

    Hi,
    I have been seconded to take photos at an up and coming family wedding.
    I will be using a Canon 300D Digital SLR, shooting in RAW, and performing post processing on a Mac using Aperture (yet to be purchased).
    I have established that my print lab works in the Adobe 1998 colour space. So, please let me know if I have the this right:
    As long as my screen is calibrated, and I work in and save my images as Adobe 1998, my prints should accurately resemble what was present on my screen?
    Is there a preference for which format (jpg, tiff, etc.) the images should be saved in for ensuring accurate print output from a pro lab ? They charge per print for RAW conversion, so I'm looking at saving finals as TIFF as the logical alternative.
    Also - can someone tell me if I should necessarily set the camera parameters to any particular colour space ? On the Canon, I have the option to set Adobe RGB, or a number of Canon pre-sets, or in fact set my own pre-sets for tone, colour saturation etc. Does this even matter if I'm shooting in RAW ?
    Any other advice on how I can ensure consistency in this workflow for this and future projects ?
    Sorry for all the questions, but many thanks,
    Paul

    I took your advice and sought more info from my lab.
    They have provided me with a calibration image on CD
    as well as a print of the same to do some side by
    side comarison with my monitor. They also provided a
    colour settings file for Photoshop. Armed with all of
    this I seem to be getting closer to understanding the
    necessary adjustments (although I temporarily
    confused things by introducing my home printer into
    the equation, until I realised that this thing also
    has it's own colour settings).
    To me, it sounds like the color settings file for Photoshop is most likely the color profile data I was talking about - does it end in .icc? What are the instructions for installation?
    After you install it you can check the "Proofing Profile" dropdown in Aperture to see if you see anything like it - you'll need to restart Aperture after you install the icc profile (I think).
    You can import the image from teh CD into Aperture and try using the proofing with the color profile sent to see how close it looks.
    Basically the idea of the proofing and the profile is that by turning on on-screen proofng, you are taking the colors you have and seeing how the smaller range of color availaible in the printer will reflect what you have.. this gives you the ability to alter tones until the image you have better fits into the range of colors the printer can produce.
    I haven't purchased Aperture yet, but I presume there
    will be a way to invoke settings similar to the
    colour settings in Photoshop so that what I'm seeing
    in Aperture will be consistent ?
    Yes, sorry for the above then which will be of little use until you get Aperture - basically there is a "Proofing Profile" dropdown and a command to enable or disable "Onscreen Proofing" (which is just like CS2's "Proof Colors").
    Aperture makes use of any color profile defined in the system, so hopefully the installation instructions are for general OS X color profile installation. If it's an icc file you can install it for use with all of OS X.
    Correct me if I'm wrong, but from what you're saying
    it actually makes no difference what parameters I
    specify in my camera if I'm shooting in RAW ? This is
    good to know, as the Adobe RGB setting in the Canon
    is actually quite 'washed out' - and I'd prefer to
    keep it in one of the sRGB settings for my 'snaphot /
    home printing' needs wheh shooting jpegs. So,
    provided I export in Aperture to Adobe RGB (my lab's
    preference) and work with a calibrated screen I
    should be okay ?
    Yes, all true. I just want to make sure to note that the choice of color profile does make a difference shooting JPG as it will affect the colors that are defined in the file (and the viewing of them in a browser), but from your comment above it seems you understood that aspect.
    I calibrated my current monitor (using software only
    at this stage). Does it particulary matter which
    colour space I choose to start from, if I'm modifying
    brightness, gamma, temperature etc. to save as a
    custom profile ?
    I'm not sure here what you mean by "color space you choose to start from".
    Also for profiling even a cheap device like the Huey would probably be a lot better than the software profiling - I went that route at first as well but the hardware stuff is worth it.
    One last, slightly dumb, question. Are "Adobe RGB
    1998" and "Adobe RGB" the same thing ?
    Yep, pretty much the same thing by slightly different names.

  • Colour space incorrectly reported

    When exploring the metadata panels, I noticed all my photos were marked as Adobe RGB. This is incorrect as the camera was set to sRGB, which Photoshop Elements reports too.
    This happens with Canon 20D RAW and JPEG files.
    Anyone else notice this?

    If this is happening with JPEGS then it's an issue,
    but RAW files do NOT have ICC profiles embedded - RAW
    files don't even have a colour space until they are
    converted, let alone ICC profiles.
    That is not how the 20D seems to operate. There is a menu option for colour space that allows me to set it to sRGB or Adobe RGB. This setting is reflected in the file names. sRGB photos are prefixed with IMG_, Adobe RGB are prefixed with MG .
    Also the manual reads
    "For normal images sRGB is recommended. In the Basic Zone modes, sRGB will be set automatically."
    So it seems that Canon are nudging me towards using sRGB anyway. (I generally don't use the basic zone modes anyway, rather the aperture and shutter speed priority modes instead).
    All my RAW files are IMG_ files. Not only that, but Canon's utilities report what colour space is associated with the RAW.
    You might also want to rethink your monitor
    calibration - sRGB and Adobe98 are profiles strictly
    for images, not for screens - assigning one of them
    to the screen will mess up the displayed colours.
    Why then is there a display profile for sRGB and Adobe RGB in the System preferences? I don't understand what you mean here, sorry.
    In general, Adobe98 is a larger space than sRGB,
    which means that it can contain pretty well all the
    colours available in sRGB, but can ALSO contain more
    subtle colours which can't exist in sRGB. To see this
    easily, open up ColorSync Utility from the Utilities
    folder, click on Profiles and then swap between
    Adobe98 and sRGB - it will show a graphical
    representation of the two spaces.
    Ian
    I don't use a hardware calibrator (yet - budget constrains). I have just used the Disply prefs to assign the sRGB profile. I tried the Adobe RGB one and like I said it looks dull and subdued for everything else.
    I notice in the following thread :
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=472188
    you said
    2a. The vast majority of web browsers (and as far as I know ALL Windows browsers) are not colour profile/ICC aware, and will assume if anything that all images are sRGB.
    2b. In general, anything for screen or web use should be in sRGB.
    The vast majority of my stuff I will put on a website for friends/family to view, so I have everything set to sRGB along the way so I can get (I hope) a fair idea how it is going to look. I do print things out occassionally though - I send them to a photo lab, I don't bother with a home photo printer. For the couple of photos I sent off, I didn't have a problem. They were JPEGs saved (pre Aperture) off the RAWs taken with the camera set to sRGB.
    Since the images are in an sRGB profile, doesn't it make sense to have the monitor set to use that same profile?
    I am happy to admit that I am an utter novice with the digital side of photography, and the different colour profiles and what not have me confused.
    Any explanations are greatly appreciated

    Hello:
    You need to contact "epost."  The issue is not an Apple issue....the epost software needs, I assume, to be updated.

  • My wife's new iphone4 (a replacement for a 5 month-old iphone 4 with home button issues) is not recognized by itunes. Every other ios device in the house using that computer and Apple ID is. Any suggestions?

    My wife's brand new iphone4 (which was a replacement for a 4month-old iphone4 with home button issues) is not recognized by itunes. Every other ios device on  the computer/Apple ID in question is recognized and syncs perfectly. Any suggestions?

    If the new phone has already been setup, make sure the phone and iTunes are both set to the same account.
    You might also have to authorize this computer for the new device under the store menu.

  • Pdf on iOS devices damaged or white screen

    Hello
    our iPhone and iPads can not display a Pdf-File that was scanned. Sometimes they only display a white screen or the pdf file is damaged (color stripes) but on every computer it´s being displayed without any error.
    The Pdf file you´ll find as attachment is downloaded from the Dell website is printed and scanned on a HP LaserJet M575 MFP. On the website every iOS Device can display it without any error after I send the scanned PDF to my device it get´s damaged. In the standard App the file is very colorful and in the Adobe Reader App there are only shown white pages but again on every PC the file looks normal.
    Please note that there a many more PDF Files which are also not shown correctly and these files are scanned on other devices like a Toshiba eStudio.
    PDF Link for example on the Dell Website.
    Scanned PDF Link.
    Thanks for your help.

    I wonder if the scanning application (that was used to generate PDFs) has defects and generates "bad" PDFs.  If it is all possible, try a different scanning application to see if it makes any difference in output.
    The desktop version of Adobe Reader is a mature product, which has been in the market for decades.  It's smart enough to "repair" some of PDF syntax errors in your scanned PDF documents.
    In general, scanned PDF documents have more problems because each page is entirely an image.  You cannot select text or add text markups, such as highlight, underline, etc. in scanned PDF documents.
