Photoshop CC quits when setting up soft proof for Moab Slickrock paper

I use a Mac Pro with Mountain Lion and Photoshop CC, all with current updates. I had no problem downloading and using the Moab Slickrock icc profile from their website to make a test print. When I try to set up soft proofing, view-proof setup-custom, and choose Slickrock as the device to simulate, Photoshop quits suddenly. I tried it multiple times, restarted the computer, restarted Photoshop, removed and re-installed the profile all to no avail. I then installed the profile for Moab Lasal, and was able to set up soft proofing for Lasal with no problem. I can set up Slickrock with my copy of Photoshop CS6 with no problem and also with Lightroom 5.3 it will soft proof. I wrote to Moab and they said it was a known bug with no current solution.
Do you have any idea what is going on?
Soft proofing is not critical, but I do like to use it when I can.

I am having this issue as well. I tried lightroom, but the soft proof is buggy there - it's a known bug I saw written up on MOAB's page. Supposedly Photoshop CS5 worked OK softproofing with this profile, but evidently, CC does not.

Soft proofing for online printing - CS5

After using PSE since V1 and LR since it was beta I've added CS5 and I'm a bit overwhelmed. Right now I'm trying to set up CS5 to soft proof for online printing. I read a bunch of online tutorials including Dry Creek Photo's, then downloaded and installed the ICC files for my local Costco. When I select one of the Costco printers under View - Proof Setup - Custom - Device to Simulate, I get an error message: "Could not complete your request because the ICC profile is invalid." I've repeated this with profiles from other Costcos - including one across the country from me - and from Adorama. No joy. I'm running CS5 V12.1 x64; it's the same story in 32 bit. OS is Vista 64 Home Premium (fully updated). Interestingly, I had no problem when I downloaded ICC profiles for a couple of paper-printer combinations; it's the online services that are giving me grief. Any idea what I can try next?

Keep in mind that your monitor puts limits on how useful soft-proofing is. If you have a standard-gamut monitor, what you see on-screen is already soft-proofed to sRGB (more or less). If your target profile has a larger gamut, you won't see any difference on-screen.
If you want to do this in Lightroom, just soft-proof to sRGB and you'll probably be fine. The histogram will show you if there is substantial channel clipping, and you can adjust to that. However, since you have Photoshop, my choice would be to do it there, using the Blurb profile.
Printing conditions vary widely around the world and CMYK-profiles likewise. To give you an example, US Web Coated (SWOP) v2, which is the Photoshop default, has a gamut much smaller than sRGB. In Europe the corresponding standard is ISO Coated v2 300% (ECI), which has a gamut that practically corresponds to Adobe RGB. To soft-proof effectively for this you need a wide gamut monitor.
Where the Blurb profile places in this I don't know.

Can you soft proof for Blurb in Lightroom? Can't get Blurb icc to show up in list.

I have added the Blurb_ICC_Profile.icc to Library/ColorSync/Profiles and Library/ColorSync/Profiles/Recommended, but when I turn on Soft Proof in Lightroom and try to select the Blurb_ICC_Profile.icc from the Profile dropdown in the Soft Proofing Workspace on the right, clicking on other to add it, it simply does not show up as an item in the list even though I have added it to the Profiles folder.
The Blurb profile does show up as an option for soft proofing if I try to do it in Photoshop, but I really want to do it in Lightroom to save time since I'm using the Book Module and I know Lightroom so much better than Photoshop.

Yes. I found another discussion on a blog that discussed the whole thing in detail. Has anyone found a profile that comes close that one could use in LR to soft proof for Blurb? Some said they used sRGB, but I compared and there is a huge disparity. Blurb color space is about 2/3 smaller than sRGB.

Soft Proof for Third Party Printing?

Julieanne's great training video covers Soft Proofing for monitors and local printers. How about using it for exports to third party Printers? All my work is exported to my Zenfolio sponsored website. From there is purchased for print by further exporting it to MPIX who in turn ship it directly to the buyer. How can I use Soft Proofing to optimize those photos. With LR3 my highly random and guesstimate solution was to add +5 with the brightness slider. I don't know why but its seemed to work even though the images were overly bright on my iMac monitor.

In terms of Blurb, unless you know for a fact that they use only one profile, then the soft proof debate is moot. And I seriously doubt they have one profile for all their papers (that is basically impossible).
This is correct. Blurb uses different printers/presses for different run sizes. You really cannot predict which one they will use and soft proofing to their one profile is really not useful. In fact I have tested this before and had two identical books printed with them, one using their (indeed cmyk) profile and one leaving all the images in sRGB. The sRGB one came out much closer to the original and the cmyk one came out too dark. In fact the cmyk one looked like what happens when I apply generic US web coated to images in their profile, so if you want to print with blurb, you're better off completely ignoring their profile and sending everything in sRGB as Lightroom appears to do. Of course you could have guessed this as they only offer a single profile, while they offer quite a few different papers as well as use multiple printers/presses.

Soft Proofing for Blurb

How do I creat a color profile in Lightroom for Blurb? I know they use HP Indigo printers (which are CMKY) but I would like at least a compatible color profile as well as options for when I creat books with different paper types. Do you have any suggestions so that I can be sure that my images are soft proofed for printing through Blurb?

Keep in mind that your monitor puts limits on how useful soft-proofing is. If you have a standard-gamut monitor, what you see on-screen is already soft-proofed to sRGB (more or less). If your target profile has a larger gamut, you won't see any difference on-screen.

Photoshop CS4 quits when saving

When I save a document, Photoshop unexpectantly quits. I'm running Mavericks on a late 2009 iMac. 8Gb of RAM. 300+Gb of hard drive available.
I've ran DiskWarrior, Apple's Disc Utilities, Restarted the iMac.
I've held-down Command, Option, Shift when starting Photoshop.
I've removed the Adobe Photoshop CS4 Prefs.psp file.
I've deleted third-party brushes and restored the default brushes.
Thinking it was font related, I used Suitcase Fusion and FontDoctor to find any corrupted fonts. It found some. I set those aside.
Nothing has helped.
I've noticed when I close a Photoshop document after working in it, then choose Save from that dialog box, it saves my work and Photoshop doesn't unexpectedly quit.
I noticed in a Guest account on the computer, Photoshop seems to work fine (it doesn't unexpectedly quit when I save).
Does anybody have any other ideas?
Thanks!
Cameron

Yes, it crashes.
The crash report is lengthy, so I've uploaded it to my website: http://trentstudios.com/cameron-crash-report.txt

Photoshop 11 quits when I try to choose a media type

Photoshop 11 quis when I try to choose a media type from priner settings on my new macbook pro. I am using an Epson RU2000 printer, and do not have this problem on my old macbook pro.

With my photo open in photoshop elements 11, I go to file and print. Either page set up or just print both take me to printer settings. Then, to choose the correct paper, I click on lay-out and then printer settings. Media type is the option I'm looking for, and it has something written over the top of it that I can't read, but I need to clik on media type to choose my type of media (presentation paper, plain paper, photo paper--glossy or matte, etc.) When I click on it, it just quits. Interesting that you mention preview. There is no preview option on any of these windows. I can print fine on this printer from iphoto, and I can print fine on this printer with my old mac and photoshop 8, so is has to be something about the new mac and photoshop not playing nice together. Although, you can tell from my screen name that I have no idea what I'm talking about. I've been using photoshop since Elements 2, though, and have never had any problems, so I know I'm not crazy. Thank you for taking the time to help me with this.

Soft Proof view mode problem for MOAB Slickrock Metallic Pearl Paper

I use the Soft Proof mode in Lightroom (LR) for editing printed output, and use either custom color profiles that I make (Spyder Print) or profiles supplied by the paper manufacturer. This feature works very well, much like the Custom View mode in Photoshop (PS). MOAB/Legion makes a neat paper called Slickrock Mettalic Pearl, that mimics the old Cibachrome prints, and the supply a color profile that works well in PS. However, when I toggle on the Soft Proof mode using this profile in LR, the image goes completely white, except for deep blacks which show up as bright green. When I actually make the print from LR, the print comes out okay, but there's no way to know if it's true to the proof view, since the proof view is unusable.
Viewing, editing and printing the same image in Photoshop (PS) 5.1 works fine. Editing and printing when view mode (Proof Setup > Custom) is to the same profile produces a print that's true to the proof view. So it seems that the problem is between LR and the .icc file. Here's the link to the profile file: Go to MOAB Slickrock Metallic Pearl Epson R2400 EPL.icc.

Photoshop CS3 quits when opening PDF files

Does anyone have this problem? Because it happens to me a lot. I'll try to open a PDF with Photoshop, choose my settings, then it rasterizes the PDF and unexpectedly quits.
Then I'll try changing the color setting from RGB to CMYK and it will work. Or sometimes vice-versa. It is very annoying. I've submitted bug reports to Adobe as well as about 5 crash reports when it happened. It's not on the same file, but many different PDFs.
I have Mac OS 10.5.x now, but it did the same thing in 10.4.x
I think it has to do with the RGB vs CMYK color setting because it usually opens when changing it from one setting to the other. But I don't understand WHY that would cause PS to crash.

just created a new user account.
same problem. tried opening a cmyk pdf file in rgb mode and photoshop quits. opened in cmyk mode and it opened ok.
then tried opening a different cmyk pdf in cmyk mode and photoshop quits.
do you that have responded have intel macs?
have you tried opening a cmyk pdf in rgb mode?
just trying to find out what's causing this.

Photoshop cs4 quits when in video mode

When I am working with video (actually making a slideshow, so it consists only of photo's) in photoshop... and import another photo (a rather big one, but we are used to work with very big pictures... up to 1gb of filesize while the slideshow psd is 100 mb) photoshop quits.
Anyone who knows where the problem lies?
ps. I obviously already googled/searched the forum for the problem!

alwright, now it does the same with smaller images... now I save everytime before I open and/or import a photo....

Photoshop unexpectedly quits when quitting program

2 X 3.2 Quad Intel Processor
8 GM RAM
Have tried as different user - still get error
Have checked preferences file and it is NOT locked
Have reinstalled CS3
Have reset preferences
Have repaired disk permissions
Each time I quit photoshop still get the error that it has quit unexpectedly.
No other problems. PCS3 works fine, just at quitting.
Help

I don't know if you solved this issue yet. I started having the same issue after I installed the drivers and software for an Epson all in one printer and scanner. It only happened when I exited CS3, and on both my MacPro and MacBook Pro.
I isolated the offending item to the Twain driver for the scanner. In Library/Image Capture/TWAIN Data Sources was the driver for the scanner portion. I am using the printer attached through my Airport extreem, and thus don't use the scanner. I deleted the driver, and the issue is now gone. I finally noticed the scanner was showing up in my File/Import menu, and thats what made me drill into where the scanner drivers were.
Have you added anything like a scanner, or one of the new all in one printers. If so I would check out the drivers.
Good luck.

How can I prevent Photoshop from quitting when trying to use Photomerge?

When trying to use photomerge, Photoshop (CS 5.5 version) quits immediately. How can I fix it?

I seem to remember that there have been several threads on issues with Photomerge, have you done a Forum search?
And you may want to provide more information, OS, reports, …
Boilerplate-text:
Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)?

After 10.5.8 Update, Photoshop automatically quits when opened?

Hi, I have a virtually brand new imac and just updated to 10.5.8 - and now whenever I try to open my Adobe Photoshop CS4 it automatically "quits unexpectedly".
I do not use time machine (just got the mac and don't have backups yet...) and am unsure how to proceed. Help?

Well, nevermind. I reboot the machine an extra time and the problem seems to have sorted itself out again. Thank you for the update!
