Photoshop CS 4 won't use paper profiles.

Running Photoshop CS 4. Changed operating system to Windows 7 64 bit. Using a calibrated monitor and Epson 3800 printer. The paper profiles are not being applied by photoshop. Printed 50% gray scale patches with no correction. The printer managed patches were more accurate than the photoshop managed grayscale patches. The photoshop managed 50% gray scale were not even close. Anyone had this problem. Any insight greatly appreciated.

Go to c:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 9\Locales\<locale>\Plug-Ins\Import-Exportand you will find twain plug-in. Remove that plug-in from that location and copy it somewhere else.
Now launch PSE and check if it works.
Alternatively,
Try resetting the PSE preferences by
   1. Close Elements.
   2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Edit.
   3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.
In case any network printer is attached try to launch without network or printer uninstall.
try and let me know your comments.

PS CS5 32-bit won't use GPU acceleration

I have CS5 32- and 64-bit installed on both my desktop and my notebook. My desktop runs Win 7 x64 Biz and has an nVidia GTX275 display card. The notebook is a Sony runs Win 7 x64 Home and uses the nVidia GT300M. Though the notebook is numerically higher, the GTX is suppose to be more advanced.
This is my problem: The notebook uses the GPU Open GL feature without a problem in either version. My desktop, however, only uses the Open GL for the 64-bit. In 32-bit, the option is grayed out. Can anyone point me to why the desktop 32-bit Photoshop can't/won't use the GPU hardware acceleration? I have the most recent drivers installed, so I know that's not the issue. Thanks.
Nemo

Yes, the driver is the issue.
Photoshop only enables the GPU support if the driver says it is capable, and if the driver doesn't return errors.
Somehow your 32 bit driver either thinks it is not capable, or is returning errors when it shoudn't be.

I am on Lightroom 4 and using a Epson photo stylus R300 printer and cannot seem to put Hahnemuehle paper profiles on to it, anyone know how?

Anyone know how to put paper profiles onto a Epson R3000 printer via Lightroom 4?

Installation using Mac OS:
1. Double-click on the downloaded Zip-file. The ICC profile will be extracted in the same folder automatically.
2. Now move the extracted ICC profile to the proper folder listed below.
Mac OS 8-9x - System Folder > Color Sync Folder
Mac OS X - HD > User > Library > ColorSync > Profiles
Note: Please restart your graphics application (eg photoshop) if it was open during the profile installation.

How to use DNG profiles without buying Lightroom/Photoshop?

I bought a ColorChecker Passport. All I want to achieve is accurate color reproduction and white balancing. I don't need Photoshop or Lightroom. Is there a cheaper solution to apply DNG profiles to my photos?

For your edification, you may want to read this thread:

Actually, if you think about it, you really WOULDN'T want a DNG profile to alter the white balance of an image...that would seriously limit the usefulness of that profile. DNG profiles are designed to adjust the color and tone rendering of a given camera's spectral response. However, white balance is a shot by shot situation.
So, DNG profiles specifically DON'T take white balance into consideration. If they did, you could only use that profile for single white balance situations. The whole camera profiling issue is made far more complex than profiling a printer. You need a camera profile that allows color and tone adjustments over a broader range of light sources...compared to a printer that should remain consistent given a specific paper and printer setting.

How to use Device Profiles and Viewing Conditions Profile in Photoshop Elements 11?

In trying to get to grips with the Colour management aspects of PSE11, I have encountered the following problems:
Having selected "Display" a sequence of clicks (Change display settings -> Advanced settings -> Colour Management -> Colour Management tab -> Colour Management)
gives a screen which includes the headings:
Device Profile and Viewing Conditions Profile.
1. Device Profile. Besides sRGB and ARGB, the profile list includes the profiles for all of the Epson papers. (I have an Epson Stylus Photo PX810FW).
I changed the Profile to an Epson Grayscale, this was accepted within the menu, but there are no changes from normal when I viewed the image on the Windows screen or within
PSE11. ("normal" is sRGB or ARGB).
I thought it worth a try to test that, if I wanted the display image to closely represent what I would get on a particular Epson paper, this may be a way to do it.(I suspected this approach because I have never
seen it in the literature!).
So what is the purpose of all of the paper Profiles appearing in the Display listing?
2. The Viewing Conditions Profile has also several options. I have tried to find the criteria for choosing one rather than the other, but failed to find any information. Can anyone help? I seek general guidance
rather than the details of the Profiles.
As a seperate question:
Selecting Image on the PSE11 menu across the top of the displayed image, and then Convert Colour Profile, I tried this process on an image, converting tiff to sRGB. When saved there was an extra asterisk in the saved title but in this case,
the file was still labelled tiff and there was no change in the number of Mbs. If a conversion has taken place, how is one to know? Does saving a tiff file as jpeg change its colour profile? When is it useful to use this feature?
Many thanks to all responders!

Addressing your second question, you are confusing two different things.
tiff is an image file format, as is jpeg, as is psd, as is png, as are dozens (if not hundreds, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_file_formats) of other formats.
A colour profile represents the colour characteristics of devices so that, for example, displays know how to display the colours, printers know how to print them.
Image files MAY, but do not have to, contain colour profiles.

i'm using a Nikon D610 now and Photoshop Elements 10 won't open files in camera raw. How can I fix the issue? The version of camera raw is 6.7.0339

Hi,
The D610 requires camera raw 8.3 which is not compatible with your PSE 10.
You need to upgrade to PSE 12 (or later) or use the free Adobe DNG converter. The converter will take a flder containg your NEF files and converte them to DNG files. The DNG files can then be used by PSE 10.

CQ1050FR desk top DVD drive would not open, used paper clip as advised in help now won't close

would not open, used paper clip as advised in help now won't close, error message

OK, I decided to upgrade to Mavericks. 1st I checked to see if Parallels 8 woudl work w it. It said yes, but upgrade parallels 8 1st so I did that (& then realized I should update virus def & run Windows updates also. Don't use it very much 180 days ago it said).
Then saw some reports of mail not working so well so decided to clean out a lot of un-needed emails on my Mac. Also ran updates to Mountain Lion.
Then closed everything & shut down. Left it off for a few min to clear out any left over electronic garbage & rebooted. Opened App store & clicked the Mavericks free download. Almost immediated it gave me error message & suggested doing it from the Purchased section.
Ok, I tried downloading it there. 2-3 times got same almost immediate error message.
Then, I think it was after disconnecting external HD & printer I tried again & it was looking good w download. It was fluctuating between 40-45 min time remaining & showing almost 500 mb downloaded when I got the error message again.
btw, I also got an error message when running Windows update. There was an unknown error code when I tried updating Service Pack 1 (which it showed I needed, although I'm thinking that is kind of strange since I've had Windows 7 on a MacBookPro since shortly after I bought the original MacBookPro in April 2010. (Spilled water on it last May & Apple store said it would need expensive repair so bought this replacement that they used my Time Machine backups to install everything on. This was right as I was getting ready to move & I haven't yet found the old one to see if maybe it would work. It should be in one of my boxes).
So, if it is having this much trouble just getting it installed I'm kind of afraid to go ahead. Wondering why some report it works fine & a lot of others saying no.
I very frustrated since I just want to be able to have the functionality I had to be able to sync Numbers between my iPad & my Mac.

Where to copy a paper profile created with Colormunki in PSE 8 on a Mac

Hello - I am using PSE 8 on a Mac running Snow leopard, version 10.6.2 with the latest updates. I have calibrated my monitor using Colormunki and profiled the Canon Photo Paper Plus for use on my Canon ip5300 printer. So far, so good. However, when I use the print dialogue menu, I do not find the ICC profile that I created for that paper in the drop down menu. Another forum question related to this suggested that one had to copy the profile to Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Profiles. However, I do not SEE a profiles folder in the Color folder, just folders called Proofing and Settings, neither of which have any content. Is it possible that this folder resides elsewhere (I have spent quite a bit of time poking about trying to find such a folder).
I have managed to get a quite good print using the following settingsm(in the Photoshop dialogue box):
- Color handling: Photoshop manages color
- Printer Profile: Working RGB - iMac D65.icc (this is the monitor profile created by Colormunki.
and in the Printer dialogue box:
- Color matching: Colorsync
- Quality and Media: Photo Paper Pro, High
However, having gone to the trouble to buy the Colormunki and profile the monitor and printer/paper, I would reallly like to be able to use the profiles!
Cindy

I have, fortunately, managed to fix the problem on my own. As I mentioned previously, in another question, someone had suggested copying the Printer profile created using Colormunki to the Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Profiles folder from the Colorsync folder. When I went to do so, there WAS no Profiles folder! However, I checked my laptop and the folder WAS there, so I copied it to my iMac and then copied the desired printer profile to the now existing folder. Voila! I can now access my Colormunki profiles from PSE 8! Hope this is of help to others.

PSE 10 Wont access Paper Profiles for printing

I have my ICC Profile installed. However I can not access the paper types when trying to print on my epson 1280. Paper type only shows "Unknown"
Im going crazy. Can someone help?

Barbara, I installed the Mac OS 10.5.6 Combo update as you suggested. Unfortunately, no change in PSE 6's behavior with its "Photoshop Manages Color" in printing with ICC profiles. It did, however, fix a little delay problem I was having when putting my Mac to sleep. Thanks.
Well, from what I have experienced after days of experimenting, researching the Internet, writing at length on forums such as this one, and going through a lot of expensive OEM photo paper and ink, I can only conclude that the "Photoshop Manages Color" feature does NOT work in PSE 6 for the Mac under the Tiger AND Leopard OS's. The problem apparently is not printer brand specific, nor driver specific.
This important feature, which worked in PSE 4, is broken in PSE 6 for Mac -- and Adobe needs to do something about it SOON, because their customers are not getting the features that they paid for and are wasting a lot of time and resources trying to figure out this problem. Not once in two weeks did anyone on five different forums come forward and say, "this feature works for me" -- instead, just the opposite.
My guess is that many people try this feature and when it doesn't work for them they just go back to using the "Printer Manages Color" setting, or as in my case now, chucks PSE 6 and goes back to using PSE 4.01 until I can find an affordable non-Adobe alternative.
John, thanks for the initial heads-up about how prevalent this problem is.

Printing from InDesign Using ICC Profiles

Hello,
I'm trying to find the best way to print from InDesign to my Epson R2400. I'm a graphic design student, with a background in Photography. When printing images from photoshop, I always use the proper paper profile for the inkjet paper I'm using and I get spot-on results. My monitor is profiled, and I have a decent knowledge of color management.
When I print from InDesign, I achieve the best results using the Adobe RGB1998 output profile in the print dialogue. This produces fair results, but not as accurate as I get when printing images from photoshop using the appropriate paper profile. When I use a paper profile from InDesign (i.e. Epson SP2400 Enhanced Matte), the results are flat and washed out. I've tried opening the print driver dialog (via the "printer" button) and making sure that color management is turned "off" to avoid double-profiling, but this does not fix the problem. I've also tried checking the "print as bitmap" box in the InDesign print dialogue, but this only makes things worse.
Can anyone tell me why I can't print with an appropriate paper/profile via InDesign? I'm usign CS3, with a Macbook Pro, running Leopard. Epson R2400 with Epson Inks, Epson paper and matching Epson ICC Profiles.
Thank You.

It is the monitor profile. Change profiles and you will see a different output each time.
The condition of the monitor can in no way affect the output, but as soon as you re-profile a change in the monitor settings the new profile will affect the output.
In theory if you can hardware calibrate the monitor and not create a new profile (what software might allow this?) there would be no changes to the print but what about what you see on the screen?
Of course this is all based on you creating a ID specific paper profile.

Adobe 2014.2.1 Windows versions 7. Problems with Epson R3000 ICC paper profiles

I've recently added an Ilford paper profile to my Photoshop. The profile appears in workspaces and I can set the workspace to that profile. When I try to print the profile appears when I set Photoshop handles colour management, but when I go to Printer Settings...... I only see Epson paper profiles. Why can't I seet the Ilford profile to select it?

OK, so 24hrs later and problem solved.. I moved the printer and connected it directly to the i5 running 10.6.2, then downloaded the latest driver using software update. Everything is fine, and I've got all those options back for setting paper type, quality etc, Great!
Trouble is, now the old iMac Intel 24" wont print to the printer on the network.....

Paper profile setting issues

I'm pretty sure this has been discussed before, but my searches aren't yielding results.. I usually make my custom paper profiles on a PC, but need to do some on a Mac (OS 10.6). I can make the custom profiles with either an i1 Profiler or a Colormunki Photo. I'm printing on a canon 9500 mark 2, and there seems to be no way to manually turn off the color management when printing the test charts. The i1 does give me the option of saving the chart and printing it through Photoshop, but that doesn't seem to solve the issue. I've looked through multiple settings and can't find the off setting. I understand this is an issue, but I've heard there is a way to do it. I just can't find it. I apologize if this has become an annoying question, but can anyone point me in the right direction.
Thanks,
Doug

Louis,
I understand the process (PC – now Mac). My comment was meant to suggest that Apple – and possibly Canon – need to get their act(s) together. Probably in an attempt to make things more user friendly, they’ve removed a needed tool. Using a profile is easier on the Mac, but making one is easier on the PC. On the PC you print the test patches straight from the profiling software ( or other software) and simply turn off color management. There is no need to involve any other software. The need for an extra piece of software is the over complication. If there were an “off” button when using the Mac, there would be no need to use this special tool. In my field – photography – Mac’s are currently considered the standard. It just seems they’ve dropped the ball on this critical aspect of the process by not having the “off” option.
Sorry for the soap box.
Thanks for the help.

PS CS5 Image Display Differs From Used ICC Profile In Win 7

Hi,
on my Windows 7 Ultimate x64 machine, I just calibrated my Dell SP2309W monitor using an i1DisplayPro and basICColor 5, creating a ICC v2 profile (I am aware of the problems under Windows with ICC v4 profiles).
It created the ICC profile and applied it to be used by Windows. I double checked under COLOR MANAGEMENT that the new ICC profile is being used. Although I can see that the new ICC is being used (desktop appearance changes), there are a few issues I am experiencing:
(1.) Windows Photo Viewer
The thumbnails in Windpows Explorer look fine (they DO use the new ICC profile), when I double click a jpeg and open the image it DOES NOT use the new ICC profile. When I click the PLAY SLIDESHOW button (starting the slideshow) in the opened image in Windows Photo Viewer, the images DO use the new ICC profile.
(2.) Internet Browsers
All current internet browser (Firefox, IE, Safari and Chrome) DO use the new ICC profile and display the image correctly.
(3.) Photoshop CS 5
When I open the same image - that Windows Photo Viewer does not correctly displays (according to the new ICC profile) - in Photoshop CS5, I get the same image display that Windows Photo Viewer gives me (when not thumbnail or not in slideshow mode) - it appears to be the sRGB display.
My color settings in PS CS5 are: North America General Purpose 2 > sRGB IEC 61966-2.1.
When I go to View > Proof Setup > Monitor RGB I get the image display using the new ICC profile.
Why does the image look different in PS than my calibrated monitor should output ?
I was under the impression (please correct me if I am wrong), that the sole purpose for calibrating my monitor was to get a uniform display across (ICC aware) applications. Even when one applies different color spaces to a document in PS, I thought the output on my calibrated screen done by the graphic card should always be according to my calibration and the settings in the ICC profile being used.
What Am I doing wrong or what am I misunderstanding ?
Any help or input is appreciated !
Thanks.

Hello,
A note on monitor calibration: calibrating your monitor will not guarentee that every application will display color correctly, it's more of a step along the pipeline, and for the preview part of a color workflow it's the last step. Here's how color translation follows for an ICC workflow when previewing to a monitor:
Image Color Numbers > Document Tag or Workspace Profile > Monitor Profile
For non-color managed applications, if the original document is or isn't tagged with a color profile it will be translated directly to the monitor profile anyway. This is the equivalent in Photoshop of selecting "Monitor" in soft proofing. Selecting monitor in softproofing will bypass the tagged or workspace profile to translate colors directly through the monitor profile.
For most automatic color managed applications (like Firefox), the image will be translated through the tagged profile and then sent through the monitor profile. If the image is untagged or the profile is unrecognized, the colors get sent directly to the monitor profile.
For Photoshop, a tagged document will have its profile respected and then sent to the monitor. An untagged document will be assigned the workspace profile, which acts like a temporary document profile, and then gets sent to the monitor. This is often why users will notice Photoshop behaves differently from other applications. It's usually a case of the workspace coming into play. By default the workspace profile is set to sRGB. You can change this in Edit > Color Settings.
The purpose of the workspace is originally for printing workflows, as a way of keeping consistant color translations when dealing with both tagged and untagged documents. For web output workflows it can be useful for viewing everything through sRGB, which is typical of the average monitor output (not so with newer wide-gamut monitors, another source of confusion...) combined with the fact that originally most web browsers were not color managed. Hence viewing everything through sRGB is pretty close to what most monitors see and what untagged/unmanaged docs will look like.
Monitor calibration is useful only because it brings your monitor output to a "known state". In traditional workflows the monitor was always a middle-man, a preview device which was useful for getting an idea of what the printed output would look like before you print it. Since print colorspaces are often smaller than display spaces, it's feasible and useful to narrow down the monitor/display space and calibrate it to a known state, so that even if it doesn't totally match the print, you'll get used to its differences/limitations and they'll be consistent so long as the calibration is maintained.
For web output, your final output is often another user's computer monitor, which can have any form of behavior (most standard monitors are pretty close to sRGB, or use sRGB as an operating system workspace (default monitor profile). Wide gamuts behave differently, but I'm not sure if there's a particular ICC space that they closely match, or if different wide-gamuts are even that close to each other in their display color spaces.
Hope this helps!

I used Ion Profile Pro to digitize quite a few records. However on some records, it will not recognize them and sync them in iTunes. Perhaps because some songs "ran together" when copied or titles were misspelled. Can I get iTunes to recognize them?

I used Ion Profile Pro turntable to digitize some old records. It worked fine for most of the records, but on five or six albums I get an error message saying "the original file can't be found" and it won't transfer them to my iPod Touch. However, the files are on my hard disk digitized and I can click on them and play them in Windows Media Player. When I go to iTunes, the records (or the CD created from the original records) exits in the iTunes libraries for sale. However, in some cases, the contents of the album offered for sale differs slightly from the original record, or the songs exist on different albums, but not the original album that I had. In some cases minor misspellings occurred on a few titles when they were entered in the ION softwareon my computer. In a few cases, it seemed as if ION did not recognize that there were two or three songs and ran them all together as one and again, my song list does not exactly match Apple's.
I own these songs, but iTunes won't put them on my iPod Touch. Is there anything I can do (short of paying for songs I already own) to get Apple to recognize these songs?

You seem to have an iTunes problem, not an iPod problem. Try posting in the iTunes forum.
