Photoshop CS3 colour space Colour Change Help

Hi Everyone....
I have been a photoshop user since V5 and never come across this
When I open work done at home on other computers ie work
(or even create new docs)
*****the whites seem yellowish and the greys seem redish.*****
But when I use the eye dropper the yellowish is white R=255 G=255 B=255
Firstly I know you are going to say this is my monitor but I have calibrated this a few times and all other programes and colours, greys and so on are accurate.
My Colour Settings are the same as my work version of Photoshop CS3 which is totally fine.
Both computers use LCD monitors one Samsung and one LG
Any ideas anyone!!!!
Driving me nuts
Even when I do a screeshot of a web page and past it in it look different!
Regards
Silco

Sorry Mate if this is not too clear...
My Work PC is fine and is ok with every other PC in the office running photoshop... so lets eliminate that one...
So it just the home PC that has been Calibrated using a hardware calibrator.... The question is if my monitor calibration is out why do all my programs and pictures viewed outside of photoshop (image viewer) look ok?
Example if I do a screen capture of the www.bbc.co.uk (whick is predominantly grey) then paste it in to photoshop it goes redish?
Am I missing something lol... if the screen was out everything else would be out.. ?
Thanx for your help mate

Adobe Photoshop CS3 Will Not Install PLEASE HELP TRIED EVERYTHING

I downloaded from Adobe the Photoshop CS3 Extended Trial directly from Adobe. (BTW I am on Vista 32)
The first time I tried installing, ADBEPHSPCS3_WWE.exe successfully unpacked, I successfully transitioned to the Adobe Photoshop CS3 installation, and it appeared to install. After 30 minutes or so, the installer finished and simply said that shared components had installed but the Photoshop CS3 Component install failed.
I always got in the log Error 1935.An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.MFCLOC,version="8.0.50727.163",type="win32",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18 e3b",processorArchitecture="x86"'. Please refer to Help and Support for more information
This, I know, is everyones typical problem.
I turned off firewall and antivirus.
I uninstalled ALL Adobe and Macromedia programs, including Flash and Acrobat.
I used Windows Install Cleanup Utility to remove them.
I downloaded the CS3 Clear from Adobe and cleared at levels 1, 2, and 3.
I created the Administrator account on my computer and tried everything on the Administrator account.
I tried installing Photoshop CS3 with compatibility mode for XP SP2.
I tried:
1. Open an Administrator command prompt by right clicking on Start -> All
Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt and selecting "Run as
Administrator" and clicking "Allow" for the elevation prompt
2. In the command prompt, type the command below
fsutil resource setautoreset true C:\
3. Reboot the machine
I tried:
Get command prompt up. It has to be run with admin rights so save yourself some time and run it this way.........Start/programs/accessories/.....right click command prompt and click run as administrator.
Then paste these commands in 1 after the other
regsvr32 vbscript.dll (THEN PRESS ENTER)
and
regsvr32 jscript.dll (AGAIN PRESS ENTER)
I even tried installing in Safe Mode but the CS3 setup would not initialize.
I do not know what else to do. I have CS2 which I will use, but I was really hoping to move to CS3 which is supposed to be better and faster. Does anyone know anything else to do? I am not a computer noob but I am not about to reinstall Vista. If anyone has any suggestions they would be greatly appreciated.

I was in the same predicament and after spend many hours over several days trying a multitude of things I finally found an easy fix (below):
========================================
Assuming you have Internet Explorer 7 go to:
Tools/Internet option/Advanced
Click the Reset dialog box. This will bring IE7 back to its default settings. You should reboot your computer. After logging back into Windows load IE and let it take you though its initial setup. When you are done close IE and install Photoshop.. This worked for me,,, hopefully it will work for you!

Photoshop CS5 Colour changes toggling screen modes

Hi.
I have recently started encountering a problem with a colour shift in Photoshop CS5 when toggling between screen modes (Full screen and normal window) My setup is a mid-2010 MacBook Pro with an Eizo CG243W Connected to the display port. Both screens are calibrated. While using the MacBook Pro as a seconddary display, the image on the external Eizo changes colour depending on which screen mode I set in PS. In normal Window mode the colours appear correct, but changing to Fullscreen alters the colours (They become a lot more muted and move towards a yellow/green tint) Trying the same on the MacBook Pro screen (with the Eizo connected) produces the opposite result, in normal window mode the colours become over saturated (a vivid red tint), but in full screen mode appear normal.
This started happening after upgrading to OSX 10.8.3 (From OSX 10.6.x) I have tried various suggested workarouds (such as altering OpenGL settings in PS) to no avail. I therefore humbly ask this community for any advice or suggestions you might have.

That can be a good workaround, but be aware that some things won't work... For example, you won't be able to see a preview of your brush hardness using the Alt-right mouse button brush gestures. And of course zoom won't be smooth, and pans won't flip with inertia (big whoop). If you have Extended you may not find the 3D features as usable.
What I'd do if I were you is do some searches for people using your specific video card and see if any of them have found any older drivers that work better. Then bug nVidia to fix their drivers.
Alternatively, a really fine video card with huge speed and memory can be had nowadays for a hundred bucks.

Photoshop CS3 Error in Setup. Help!

When I open the setup.exe file, it gives me an error saying that it has critical errors and cannot be satisfied. It also says look in the setup log file, but I don't know where it is or what to do. I've tried un-installing, re-installing, ect. and it doesn't work.
Attatched is a picture of the message it shows.

it should be here: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Installers\
Also, try running the CS3 Clean Script

By the way, try using JPG or PNG/GIF next time, BMP files are too large for the internet

Adobe Photoshop CS3 and Leopard problem changing number values in the tools

I know that Adobe has mentioned on their site that this is a known problem and that the fix is going to come from a Leopard update. I have not seen anything on this problem from the Mac side so I am wondering when a fix can likely be expected. The Adobe link is http://www.adobe.com/support/pdfs/PhotoshopCS3_LeopardIssue.pdf
Any clue?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
This is a user-to-user forum, so no one here works for Apple. None of us have any idea what they have running behind the scenes. I'm afraid you're just going to have to wait and see like the rest of us. It's against the Terms of Use of the Apple Discussions to speculate about unannounced or unreleased products, but the Macworld Expo starts in San Francisco in a little more than two weeks. In the past, Apple has released software updates at the same time as the expo to support new software and hardware. No one here can speculate if this will include the update you're looking for, however.

Why does the colour change from web browsers to CS5?

Hi there
I´m running OSX 10.6.4 on a MacPro 2009, 2x2.26, 16 gb RAM.
Photoshop CS5 12.0.1.
When I import photos from the web (Safari or Firefox) to Photoshop, the colour changes drastically.
The only time the colours stay the same, is if I set the colour management to North American General Purpose 2, but this is a setting
I can´t use. I need to use my Spyder 3-calibrated RGB profile as RGB work space, and I use Fogra 27 or a specific cover art profile
for CMYK use.
I enclose a screenshot of my settings and the problems that occur.
Can someone help?
All the best!
Hakon, Norway

When I import photos from the web (Safari or Firefox) to Photoshop, the colour changes drastically.
Most of the photos on the Web will be un-tagged sRGB (if they have a tag, an embedded profile, Photoshop (and color-managed browsers) will pick up the profile and display it properly...).
The short answer is to open the un-tagged file in in Photoshop> Edit> Assign Profile: sRGB
You may know, the Mac OS applies its default Monitor profile to untagged color, whereas, Photoshop will apply its default Working RGB if you tell it not to manage the document...if you have a wide-gamut monitor and Assign MonitorRGB to an sRGB file, you get an intense saturation boost especially in the reds (is a clue).
YOU MAY BE WISE to set something like sRGB as your Photoshop Working RGB with these Color Management Policies (to try and figure out what's going on)...
MonitorRGB equals Photoshop WorkingRGB (as you are set up there) is a disaster for any number of reasons — Photoshop already displays through the monitor profile so setting its Working Space to your monitor profile is BAD workflow for 99.99 percent of the users who setup that workflow...

Adobe Photoshop CS3 Image Processor not converting files to sRGB Profile

I have been experiencing a problem with Photoshop CS3 Image Processor no longer converting profiles to sRGB. It converts all of the files from Camera Raw to JPEG, but not sRGB as well. I used to be able to batch convert an entire folder of RAW images to JPEG, sRGB through the Image Processor.
My Photoshop CS3 Working Space is Adobe RGB (1998). I need to convert an entire folder of images selected in Bridge to sRGB working space in order to publish a photo album from one of the on-line publishing companies. I can open each individual Camera Raw file in Photoshop and convert each to JPEG, sRGB, but this takes a tremendous amount of time.
The following procedure has worked for me in the past, but for some reason no longer works:
I select the images in the desired Bridge CS3 folder. Upper tool bar, "Tools" > "Photoshop" > "Image Processor". In Image Processor:
Section 1 - ""Process files from Bridge only (11)" Whether or not I place a checkmark by "Open first image to apply settings", it makes no difference in the outcome.
Section 2: "Save in same location"
Section 3 - "Checkmark by "Save as JPEG, quality 12". Also a checkmark by "Convert Profile to sRGB"
Section 4 - Checkmark by "Include ICC Profile"
I replaced my iMac one month ago and reinstalled Photoshop CS3, but this Image Processor problem had been occurring even with my old computer.
Not sure if you need this information:
I'm currently on Mac OS X Version 10.6.4
Processor: 2.93 Ghz Intel Core i7
Memory: 8 GB 1333 Mhz DDR3
I don't know if it's related, Photoshop CS3 on my old computer was running in Rosetta. I don't know if it's running in Rosetta now, the name does not appear when Photoshop boots up. How do I get it to run in Rosetta again?

Heh heh heh. It's always true that we find the answer just after making public our problems, which in turn we did after trying to find the problems ourselves for hours.
Thanks for following up with the answer.

Photoshop CS3 Program Error

Since upgrading to Leopard I run Photoshop CS3 and I get a programming error message. I say OK and continue working. It also happens when I use the text tool.
Anyone else? Solutions?

Hello,
First try emptying your cache in your home directory folder (Home>Library>Caches). Trash everything located in the folder except the folder itself. Quit Photoshop if open and try again.
If that does not work, try deleting the preference file(s) for Photoshop (make sure Photoshop is closed).
If the above did not work at all, then I recommend uninstalling and reinstalling Photoshop CS3.
I hope this helps!

Colours change badly when LR2.5 image sent to Photoshop CS3

When I right click in LR on an image and "edit in CS3" the image opens in CS3 with a horrible magenta and/or blue colour cast that is difficult to remove.
I have set LR to export in AdobeRGB, and CS3 edits in AdobeRGB.
This is new behaviour, since I got a Canon 50D but I assume this is coincidence.
The effect is variable, worse on some images than others, so I can use no automatic workaround to fix the shift.
It is ruining my workflow. I've searched on everything I can think of in forums and help.
- Win XP SP3
- both screens calibrated with GretaMacbeth Eye-one
I observe that:
a) even the dialog boxes in the two programs have completely different colours, not sure if that is supposed to be so.
b) CS3 says that my CS apps are not sync'd for consistent color. I don't know what other apps I may have, or why this is so.
Attached -
- my external edit prefs and CS3 colour settings
- sample image screen capture in LR
- same image screen captured in CS3
Thanks

This seems to have died. I've answered a few questions but no responses to those reqested infos, and no answer forthcoming.Some responses suggest that my post has not even been read properly and the only suggestions made have been inappropriate to my posted info.
Can anyone tell me how I get effective help for Adobe products? I am more than jaded with the facts that:
- Adobe software in general and Lightroom especially has almost useless help files/website. Adobe seems to rely on a) 3rd parties and b) a collection of informal only sometimes professional often independent (uncoordinated) resources that are as disparate as they are confused to provide help and usage training. The help available from "Help" menu item is incomplete and often, if not mostly, missing the point for which you are seeking info.
- Adobe software including Acrobat reader (inside Firefox), CS3 and Lightroom are the ONLY softwares that crash my system or do not work reliably.
- Adobe phone and email support is entirely, completely and fully useless for anything beyond certain standard problems. The only offered solution to anything I've ever rung or emailed about has been "uninstall and re-install" after demanding enormous amounts of information that was probably irrelevant or ignored but consumed considerable effort and time to provide.
- when you DO uninstall and reinstall Photoshop, you find it is the only software I know of that routinely loses all your settings and actions in the process.
- and so far, uninstall and reinstall has never resolved any Adobe problem on my machine.
- Adobe more than any other provider seem to rely on new PAID upgrades as the suggested means of resolving bugs and other problems that are intrinsic to the software, and Adobe don't continue to maintain older versions.
So - here I am with what is to me a serious problem, and I have no visible means of useful tech support.
People like me are always being criticised on these forums for being cross and frustrated, with smooth talking smug folk saying that you'd get better results if you were polite. The trouble is it is difficult to remain polite when you see no available solution, a lot of time taken up and no APPARENT determination by Adobe to provide support that actually meets people's needs, or at least people with non-standard problems.
I don't believe I've been rude here, but it's now 4 days and I'm no nearer to solving the problem.
Could someone suggest how to get effective help with this problem, or other problems from Adobe?
Thanks
Julian

Colours in Bridge/Photoshop CS3

After editing images in Photoshop CS3 (using a calibrated Eizo monitor S2231W) and viewing them in Bridge (whether PSD or JPG) in the presentation modus, the colours change a bit and become oversaturated when I change the presentation from "fit in" to 100%(by scrolling the mouse wheel). The same oversaturated colours appear also in other Windows viewers (e.g. Magix, irfanview). Of course I can use a different custom preset on the monitor when viewing the images on the monitor and reduce the saturation there, but the colour change will remain. So how can I see in Photoshop when editing and be sure what the colours will be like in a Windows presentation?
(PS- changing the colour settings in Photoshop did not help)
Thank you for helping! - Jochen

I'm also working on a stable calibrated system which I believe I understand, and I see the same colour shift when zooming a Bridge CS3 slideshow from "fit" to 100%, latest version, Windows Vista SP1 etc. It looks like the slideshow program is arbitrarily assigning Adobe RGB as a colour space for the RAW image which it's displaying, but only at 100%. That's odd as my working spaces are all sRGB on this machine.
I've tried various combinations of Bridge settings including the factory defaults. It makes no difference what the ACR colour space (in the XMP recipe) for that image is: I get the same effect for sRGB and Adobe RGB XMP settings.
The second post here seems to be about PS colour management in general; that's not the issue here, this is quite specific to the 100% zoom in Bridge Slideshow.
Looking at various jpeg test charts I can't make the shift happen; I get it only with RAW files (CR2, various different Canon bodies, all the same problem).
More investigation suggests that my Bridge's colour management is slightly broken more generally. That is, if I have an sRGB JPEG file without an explicit embedded profile tag, Bridge should display it as sRGB (see explicit section 2 from the sRGB standard here:
http://www.w3.org/Graphics/Color/sRGB.html). This isn't happening with a test image: it's apparently not colour managed at all. If I assign sRGB explicitly to the image and save as JPEG or PNG it displays correctly however.
Perhaps that's a clue to the 100% problem... does anyone else have any idea what may be going on here?

Colours in Photoshop CS3/Bridge - Windows

I'm using this image found in the windows sample pictures "Annie in the Sink.jpg"
as an example because it's small. If you use this action on camera size images,
your system can really slow down.
(click on the screenshots below for clearer views)
1. Run the Vectorize Web Graphic part of the action. (i just left the gaussian blur
   at the default setting)
2. Use a combination of adjusting the threshold adjustment layer and painting
   on the Dodge and Burn layer to get the black areas to cover the part of image
   you want. The black areas are the areas that will be included in the paths and
   white areas are exclued from the paths.
3. Paint on the Dodge and Burn layer with the regular paint brush tool, not the dodge
    and burn tools. Painting with white removes the areas to be included in the paths
    and painting with black adds to the areas included in the paths. Set the default
    foreground and background (black and white) colors at the bottom of the toolbox by
    pressing the D key on the keyboard.
4. You might have to stack the Dodge and Burn layers to get the results your after.
5. Run the Make Path from Image part of the action.
Final path and still kinda rough photoshop result and after copying the
path to a new RGB color document and adding a color fill adjustment layer.
If you have a recent version of illustrator, then you might try the Live Trace instead of this action.
The tracing features in recent versions of illustrator are so much better than when this action was written.
Added: it helps to duplicate your image before running any of the actions so you
            have a reference while painting on the dodge and burn layer(s).

Colour Management Issues with Leopard and Photoshop CS3

Hi Everyone,
Since I have installed Leopard I am having colour management issues with Photoshop CS3 and my Canon i9950 printer.
My screen is calibrated with a Spyder and I used to ask Photoshop (in 10.4.11) to manage colour when printing and used the Spyder profile. Everything came out as I saw it on screen.
Now in leopard when I do the same thing everything comes out too yellow on the print. If I ask Photoshop to let the printer manage the colour it is too red. If I use the default colour management (photoshop managing the colour and it choosing the colour space it is better, but still too yellow).
Photoshop gives the hint to turn off colour management in the printer but there is no option for this and it also said the same thing before of course (when it worked in 10.4.11).
Any ideas?
Thanks.

I'm having exactly the same problem, only my printer is a Canon Pixma iX4000. The colour is all bleached out, it looks exactly like when you've accidentally printed an RGB file on a CMYK printer, and at first I thought that was what I had done, but it isn't. This is very frustrating, I've spent all day going through the manuals, recalibrating etc, but no luck. This is a brand new Mac Pro and printer, but if its not going to print what I see on screen it's just expensive junk.
I wasn't sure if the problem was Leopard or the printer or CS3...

Some colours change from Photoshop to Illustrator in Swatches saved in Exchange format

When I save a colour swatch in Photoshop Extended CS3 in the .ase format and load it into Illustrator CS3, some of the colours change completely - e.g. a bright orange #ffbb29 (in Ps) appears as a pale grey blue #B2BACE (in Ai). The problem seems to be with the use of upper or lower case - if the orange is question is saved as #FFBB29, it appears correctly in Illustrator (although bizarrely this seems to only affect some colours that feature (hex) letters).
Is there a way of getting Photoshop to automatically give the values in upper case? I know I could just retype them all, but it would take ages (I use Swatches all the time) and it kind of defeats the whole Exchange idea. Or is there another way round the problem? My colour settings are synched (via Bridge) across CS3 Design Premium. Thanks in advance.
Running XP Pro SP3 (32 bit), Dual Intel 5160s, 4GB RAM (yeah, I know)

Printing help, colour changes when i print files for second time

Hi, iv designed a thank you card that i want to print off multiple times, iv saved it, happy with it, did a test print and it looked fine, i then went to print off a second copy and the colour had changed to a much lighter tone, so i assumed the ink was running low and changed the ink, went to print it again, and its still the same pale colour, any help anyone, thanks in advance

Hi, thanks. Do you mean Save As - Photoshop PDF, or... how are you referring to doing that?
(Thank you for this! I had taken to making screenshots for pete's sake, though this change happened suddenly, so ... I have no idea why printing to PDF suddenly didn't work and it seems it should be "repairable".)
