How to change color setting to north america prepress 2

I just got off the ohone with Epson for 2 hours and they think that the reason my prints are coming out a little dull (or dark) is because I need the color setting to be changed to north america prepress 2 with the working space being Adobe RGB1998. I am not a techie and I have no idea what this means, but it's worth a try to ask you folks who do.
I have an Epson Stylus photo printer r3000 with an Epson perfection v600 scanner. Apparently the reason my prints aren't coming out right is because the printer isn't communicating properly with the right color settings? I'm at a loss. ANY help would be so so so greatly appreciated!!
Steph

What program are you using, photoshop or photoshop elements? If PSE, then there is no way whatever to set anything to prepress, so I'm guessing you really have full photoshop, in which case you need to ask in the photoshop forum:

Good luck!

Photoshop CS6 missing from launchpad

OK, this has been making me crazy for quite a while now.....
System Info:
MacBook Air
13-inch, Mid 2012
Processor 2 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics Intel HD Graphics 4000
Serial Number irrelevant
Software OS X 10.9.4 (13E28) (I am not into beta-testing operating systems, so I am waiting for the official release of Yosemite before upgrading from Mavericks)
I upgraded my complete Creative Suite installation a while back from CS5 to the CS6 1-year subscription. During all that time, I was able to find both versions of Photoshop (CS5 and CS6) in my launchpad. But once I followed Adobe's directions and updated to Creative Cloud, I can no longer find Photoshop CS6 there. I can locate it in the Applications folder in the Finder and run it from there, but it is not anywhere in Launchpad. All of my Adobe graphics and design apps are grouped together there, and CC simply replaced CS6 in that group, and it appears to have deleted all CS6 icons from Launchpad...... something which seriously ticks me off because it makes me feel like Adobe has hijacked my control over MY computer.
There is absolutely NO NEED for Adobe to do this, and there are still times I would prefer to use one version over the other. I paid for the CS6 upgrade..... where did it go...... and how to I get it back to my Launchpad so that I can use it more easily? BETTER YET.... since a quick Google search will turn up any number of similar complaints, why doesn't Adobe just right their wrong in the next update? But absent that, can anybody give me a simple set of directions to follow to make my CS6 applications reappear in Launchpad?
Sorry for sounding so grumpy about it, but this was just wrong of them to do this.

Same thing is happening with me, I have certain CC programs installed for school, but I want to have the CS6 versions installed as well. Spent the better part of this afternoon refreshing/restarting the Launchpad in the hopes of all my Adobe apps being visible. I hope this issue is fixed soon.

Photoshop CS6 Extended x64 Win7 bug, color overlay layer effect

I created a simple layer shape using the elipse shape tool, and applied a color overlay (blue) layer effect to that shape. The applied color overlay doesn't fill the entire shape (see image) making it look like the shape has a very wide stroke applied to it (it doesn't). If I "copy merged" the pasted copy is a rasterized version of the problematic overlay. If I rasterize the layer, the fill then covers the entire shape.
Jpeg below. Shape is black, color overlay is blue. There is no other effect applied. Blend mode normal, opacity 100%. The image upload won't let me attach the layered PSD file, but I'd be happy to provide it for troubleshooting.
If it matters, I'm running PS CS6 under Creative Cloud.

Good call, there is indeed a thick stroke set for the shape tool. Thank you.
But that answer leaves me with another question.
Apparently applying a color overlay effect only applied to the object's fill. Why does the entire object, stroke and all, go blue when the layer is rasterized? If that's not a bug, it's at least irrational.
I added an inner glow layer effect and the same behavior applies. The stroke is not changed by the layer effect, but when rasterized (except via copy merged) the stroke disappears and the layer effects are applied to the full diameter of the circle and the stroke.

Photoshop CS6 save for web some colors change?

I have a picture with large area of color: #fffdfd, when I save it for web (jpg) this color is changed to #fefcfd (in JPG).
I just can not save as JPG with #fffdfd.
(was trying uncheck convert to sRGB, do not embed color profile - always #fffdfd changes to #fefcfd when save for web)
However, color #fefcfd when save for web , does not change.
Why some colors change and some not? Is it a bug ?
Window7 64bit, Photoshop CS6

Save for Web & Devices will strip some color data from the file.
Browsers aren't color managed. Most file formats on browsers assume they're sRGB. While Photoshop gives you an option of embedding sRGB to the document color space, it also strips off data that is not relevant. This is a common occurence.
PNG-24 on the other hand will give you the exact color match.
Also, Save for W&D, JPG quality matters a lot - The same color at Quality 10,20,30,40,50...100 wil give you different color reproductions on the JPG end output.
If you're concerned that much about an offset of +/- 1 hex value to your RGB colorspace, dont save for web & devices. Do a 'Save As' instead. Then use an image editing/ resizing application such as ResizeMe to resize the quality of your document. This, in most cases will retain colorspace information but just drop the resolution and quality of the image - giving you a lesser filesize.

Which North America Profile to Use?

I am using Abobe Creative Suite CS5.5.
Which setting should I use in the Adobe Bridge's "Suite Color Settings," North America General Purpose 2 or North America Prepress 2?
I do mostly print, e-book PDFs and some web graphics. I understand Prepress 2 is better than Purpose 2. Especially since Prepress 2 uses Adobe RGB (1998) while Purpose 2 uses sRGB IEC61966-2.1. I read a thread that sRGB is also referred as "stupid RGB."
Also, which options do I need to deselect in the "Profile Mismatches Policies" and/or "Missing Profiles." I want the profiles to embeded automatically without the warning window popping up in InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator. It was convenient when I did not getting these warnings when I was using Purpose 2.
I am not sure if this is related to my question above. When I open a logo created in Adobe Illustrator, I keep getting the "Missing Profile" window. No matter which option I choose, this window keeps appearing when I reopen the EPS file. How do I fix it so that the profile is embedded and the window stop appearing?

Which setting should I use in the Adobe Bridge's "Suite Color Settings," North America General Purpose 2 or North America Prepress 2?
Basically your question is not about Bridge but about Color Management and there are a lot of books written about.
The option to set Suite color settings is what it says, you should synchronize your settings Suite wide so whatever application you are working on has the same appearance. If you combine that with a correct monitor calibration your system should have the WSIWYG workflow (What You See Is What You Get :-0 )
The general CMYK Settings are based on your needs but the most important question should be "what Color profile does my client need?" and you should set that profile to the document and save this with the color profile embedded. Probably you have set Adobe RGB in PS as standard profile. You can use soft proof in PS to see what the real effect of the new profile will show.
Contact your eBook or Web graphic supplier to match their color profile.
You have to see color profiles in a graphic (do a google search) to understand them better. Adobe RGB is capable of showing the widest Gamut (more and deeper colors), sRGB a bit less and CMYK even lesser (Print press uses Cyan, Magenta and Yellow for colors and adds blacKs for contrast and is a complete different technic to ink jet that uses RGB (Red Green and Blue).
You can set the options for converting to whatever you like as long as you are aware of what you are using. You can't mix different profiles without consequences for the end result. If a file shows 'missing profile' it has no color profile saved in it. And that is the dangerous part in saving without color profile, you can't be sure that what you see on your screen is what the creator meant.
The message will stop if you provide a profile yourself.
But as said, their have been many books written and it is a wide subject... :-0

Yes, it's what I need, just do app.colorSettings.enableColorManagement = false;

Photoshop CS6: Dark user interface style [UI skin] like Premiere Pro or Lightroom?

For Photoshop CS6, how about add option to set a dark user interface style [UI skin] like Premiere Pro or Lightroom? It's very helpful to be able to work on images in a dark interface because it enhances our eyes' perception of color. Can this be possible in CS6?

Actually, there is some value in changing the background color.
Contrast of the image with surrounding gray values does affect your perception of tone and saturation in the image.
So you want to view the image with a surround that comes close to the value that the final result will be viewed in.
For print, that means a 50% gray or lighter surround (mimicking the world).
For video that means something darker but not really black.
And for movies you want a nearly black surround.
Unfortunately, OS controls/widgets aren't designed to do that. Premiere and AE managed it by creating all their own controls and not using OS controls.

Photoshop CS6 zoom percentage

Hi there,
Does anyone know if there is a way to set a default zoom percentage value in Photoshop CS6?
I would like to set this to 31.5%.
A bit of a strange value I know, but I've found that this value gives me an image on the screen that is the same size as what I get out of the printer.
It would be great if I could do this, as it's a bit of a bind having to type in 31.5 over and over again in the Navigator.
Apologies if this is covered elsewhere. If it is I haven't been able to find it.
Richard.

Seem you need a simpler editor then Photoshop or need to learn a bit about the software you have.
For this is not overly complicated when it comes to Photoshop.
If you want to automate something using Photoshop you need an Action, Script or both.
If you want something to be automatically automated when you open a document you need that event to trigger the automation you want to happen.
If you want your image to be displayed print size on your screen what needs to be known is the print size, the displays resolution and the images pixel size. Knowing these sizes one can figure out the number of pixels that the imaged need to be displayed with on the display and knowing images pixel size it can be scaled for the display resolution. All image on you system most likely will not be set to 300dpi resolution. Images need to be scaled according to their resolution.
Photoshop make it very easy to record Action. The action Palette palette is a full blown action editor.
Photoshop menu File>Scripts>Script Event Manager make it easy to trigger automation for given events.
Photoshop knows image pixel size, print resolution therefor can calculate print size. However Apple's and Microsoft's operating systems do not know or store your displays resolution and you display hardware does not report pixel resolution to you computer. That piece of the equation is missing you need to set that for Photoshop then and only then can Photoshop calculate the correct View Print Size and scale the image accordingly.

How do I unlock the BRUSHES in PHOTOSHOP CS6?

How do I unlock my bushes in PHOTOSHOP cs6?
[ font size and color fixed by admin ]

Hi Catherine (catherinemary2012),
I imagine you already found out how to unlock brushes, but I'll share what worked for me. I had the same issue while trying to create a new brush shape and then edit it. After some poking around I tried selecting the "Brush Tool" icon on the menu to the left side of my work area before trying to edit my brush shape. After selecting the "Brush" icon, the "Brush" and "Brush Presets" became active and the brushes were able to be locked or unlocked. Also, I don't think you are impolite .

"North America General Purpose 2"-color setting back on every start : PS CS5, Win 8.1 HELP

Hi,
have a problem with my Photoshop CS5 Color Settings on Windows 8.1. Maybe there's already a thread but haven't found.
If I close and reopen PS my color settings are gone and back on "North America General Purpose 2" with sRGB. Have to change every time I open PS doesn't matter if I'm admin or user. Why doesn't PS leave my settings as the default the next time it opens?
Any ideas? Cause this is very annoying ...

Could be a problem with the Color Settings. Open it up and press the Alt key. The Cancel button will change to Reset. Click on that and it should place it to default. The Custom settings should hold.
If not, you can use the Save button, give your Custom setting a name, add some notes and Save it.

In Photoshop CS6 Hue Saturation does not work with forground/background Jitter set at 100 percent no change in color is observed. Help

In Photoshop CS6 Hue Saturation does not work with forground/background Jitter set at 100 percent no change in color is observed. I have Added a screen Shot of the Brush settings and a demonstration of what the brush produces.
I also notice That when I make a pattern of a single color, when I fill a selection with the pattern I get a rainbow of different colors.

I am able to click on a pic in iphoto to edit it and opens automatically in photoshop CS6. However when I am done editing and save I can not save back into Iphoto. Can any one help wiht this?

Thanks Terence. What a relief. I still don't understand what the book I read was talking about then. Here's a quote from the section I was referring to in "iPhoto 08: The Missing Manual" book, p 91 (ISBN: 0596-516185):
"Note, however, that the instant you edit a TIFF-format photo (Chapter 7), iPhoto converts it into JPEG.
That's fine if you plan to order prints or a photo book (Chapter 11) from iPhoto, since JPEG files are required for those purposes. But if you took that once-in-a-lifetime, priceless shot as a TIFF file, don't do any editing in iPhoto-don't even rotate it- if you hope to maintain its perfect, pristine quality."
After my test results, I thought maybe this was something that had changed from iPhoto 08 to iPhoto 09, so I went to the bookstore yesterday and checked the same book for iPhoto 09, and there it was, the same quote! (on a different page, of course).
Anyway, thanks once again for your confirmation that my test was indeed correct. Linda

Color Setting Issues: CS6

Loading or syncing color setting files results in different cm policies among the CS apps.
Even when loading the canned CSF's.
Example:
Load one of the defaults (i.e. North American Prepress 2) into Photoshop and the cm policy for CMYK is "preserve embedded profile".
However, load the same default into InDesign and under the same policy is "preserve numbers (ignore linked profiles)". Same goes if you customize a CSF and either oad it manually or sync it in Bridge.
That's an important difference if your company is trying to practice color management.
Assuming I'm correct about this, and there's something broke, think Adobe can fix it?
one more thing...Seems CS6 now supports Grayscale, which is great, but why can't it retain the embedded profile in the file?
Again...Assuming I'm correct about this, and there's something broke, think Adobe can fix it?

Tom,
let me start quoting the help text:
InDesign Help
--- Start
Preserve Embedded Profiles
Always preserves embedded color profiles when opening files. This is the recommended option for most workflows
because it provides consistent color management. One exception is if you’re concerned about preserving CMYK numbers,
in which case you should select Preserve Numbers (Ignore Linked Profiles) instead.
Preserve Numbers (Ignore Linked Profiles)
This option is available in InDesign and Illustrator for CMYK. Preserves color numbers when opening files and
importing images, but still allows you to use color management to view colors accurately in Adobe applications.
Select this option if you want to use a safe CMYK workflow. In InDesign, you can override this policy on a per-object basis
by choosing Object > Image Color Settings.
Using a safe CMYK workflow
A safe CMYK workflow ensures that CMYK color numbers are preserved all the way to the final output device, as opposed
to being converted by your color management system. This workflow is beneficial if you want to incrementally adopt color
management practices. For example, you can use CMYK profiles to soft-proof and hard-proof documents without the
possibility of unintended color conversions occurring during final output.
Illustrator and InDesign support a safe CMYK workflow by default. As a result, when you open or import a CMYK image with
an embedded profile, the application ignores the profile and preserves the raw color numbers. If you want your application
to adjust color numbers based on an embedded profile, change the CMYK color policy to Preserve Embedded Profiles in the
Color Settings dialog box. You can easily restore the safe CMYK workflow by changing the CMYK color policy back to
Preserve Numbers (Ignore Linked Profiles).
You can override safe CMYK settings when you print a document or save it to Adobe PDF. However, doing so may cause
colors to be reseparated. For example, pure CMYK black objects may be reseparated as rich black. For more information
on color management options for printing and saving PDFs, search in Help.
--- End
My opinion:
It seems, InDesign uses despite the synchronization via Bridge Preserve Numbers instead of Preserve Embedded Profile for safety.
Personally, I would use for one project just one CMYK space:
a) convert in Photoshop all images RGB-->CMYK using this profile and embed the profile in each image
b) make document in InDesign with Preserve Numbers
c) export as PDF without profiles, but with output-intent for this profile (PDF-X1a)
InDesign (even CS6) ignores Gray profiles for viewing and doesn't embed them in PDFs, see (1).
IMO, the only accurate workflow is this one:
a) convert images to Grayscale using a "black ink profile" which is derived from the project CMYK space
b) place Grayscale in channel K of otherwise void CMYK file
c) export as PDF as above
