Photoshop Default Color Off

I'm using PS CS4, with Vista and a Samsung SyncMaster 2033 monitor. I was receiving an error message each time I started Photoshop:
"The monitor profile "Samsung - Natural Color Pro 1.0 ICM" appears to be defective. Please rerun your monitor calibration software."
Followed by a "Ignore Profile" or "Use Anyway" button. If I press "Use Anyway," whites become tan/beige within Photoshop.
I tried calibrating the monitor, using the auto adjustment, but that didn't help.
Any suggestions?

I advise you to calibrate with a hardware device or at least with a solution like this:

  • Photoshop printing colors off when compared to HP printing software

    Hello. my printer is an HP photosmart 6510- cq761a-b211a.  my os is both windows 7 ultimate 64-bit and Mac OS 10.8.4.
    I have scanned .tifs of artwork i am trying to make prints of, i have tried on both computers, and here is the issue i am running into:
    Whenever i use the HP software to print by right clicking and selecting print, the colors come out pretty close to where i want them, however, the hp software does not allow many options for centering or sizing prints. If i try to print a 4x6 on 8 1/2 x 11, it does not allow it to be centered or adjusted and it just prints it at the edge.
    on the other hand, if i print through photoshop CS4 on the pc or CS6 on the mac, i can select the paper and size and choose all the options of exactly how i want it to print, and it prints correctly, however, the colors are off. they do not look accurate, ex. the reds look like generic red vs the depth of all the reds the hp software catches correctly.
    i would love it if i could just use the hp software to print, if it just had more control over the images. it seems to print spot on. but it looks like ill have to use another program, i have tried going through all the photoshop settings and made sure they all match the printer, i have it set that the printer manages the colors and printing, the colormetric options,rgb,  and paper all match. i cannot figure out why there is such a huge difference when photoshop is open. ive printed about 35 test images and it isnt working right.
    any help is appreciated, thanks

    You have to have a calibrated monitor and the image must look right to you on that monitor. Then you let Photoshop manage colors and select your printer profile just below that setting, also you must use Print Settings>Print Settings over to the left to make sure you match the paper type.
    You will need to go to G Ballard's site to read up on color management and workflow, bec ause your question indicates you don't understand the concepts.

  • CS6: Can't switch off color management in the printerdriver when photoshop manages colors

    So this is weird: I'm using CS6 Extended and Lightroom 5 on a Windows 7 Pro machine, printing to an old Canon Pixma Ip5200R. When i print from Lightroom, i am using a special printer profile for the pixma and my photopaper, so color management is switched off in the printer driver. The photos print fine.
    Now when i print the same photo from CS6, it has a magenta color cast, so clearly something is wrong with the color management. Even though i am using the same printer, the same paper, the same printer profile and  - of course! - had set photoshop to manage the colors, and switched color managent off in the printer driver. The magenta cast could be an indication that the photo is double colormanaged.
    It took my quite a while to find out what happens, and this is really weird: When i re-checked the printer driver settings, i noticed that the color management settings did not stick. The canon printer driver offers the options "driver matching" "windows ICM" "none", e.g. having color management done by the printer driver or windows, or switch color management  off. So when i go to the PS print settings and set it to "photoshop manages colors", add the correct printer profile, i have to check the settings in the printer driver and make sure that color management is set to "none". I set it to "none" and click OK. Now everything should be configured correctly. But it's not - because when i re-check the print driver settings, i see color management is set to "diver matching". I can go to the print driver settings again and agian, but whenever i check, color management is set to "driver matching". This setting simply does not stick. No wonder i get a mangenta cast on my prints, the colors are doublemanaged by photoshop AND my printer driver.
    Now, this is getting weirder: Only the color management settings don't stick. I can change other settings like print quality and the stick.
    But - how do i get rid of this? The culprit seems to be photoshop, not the printer driver. If i print from lightroom, i can change the color management settings in the (very same) printer driver and they stick. When i set the photoshop print dialogue to "printer manages colors" i can change the color management settings in the (very same) printer driver - and they stick! So this looks as if photoshop stops me intentionally from using the correct printer driver settings, that is from switching off the printer drivers color management if it is set to manage colors.
    I have already resetted my personal photoshop preferences, but this changed nothing. What am i missing? What is going wrong? Your help is very appreciated.

    Hi all, Just to let you know that I finally solved my problem myself.
    Essentially what had occurred was that I had updated my Epson driver for my printer , but it hadn't installed, despite informing me that it had! To cut a long story short when I checked in System preferences the older driver for Leopard O/S was still the current driver. I proceeded to ask Epson support for assistance, bu despite their efforts I could not immediately resolve the problem. They were directing me to my Utilities program to remove all traces of my current driver from Printer Utility which did not exist. When I queried this they stated it was not always visible and I should proceed to the next step then install the new driver. Problem was they required me to access this invisible utility in order to complete this process, and yes before you ask I had informed them I was using an Intel Mac with Snow Leopard 10.6.2 O/S. Finally I ignored their advice and took the following steps:
    1. I opened System Preferences and double clicked the Printer & Fax icon.
    2. I highlighted my Epson R2400 Pinter and removed it by clicking the minus sign at the bottom of the Printers window.
    3. Next I did a search and deleted any old drivers for my R2400 that were on my system with the exception of the new Driver.
    4. I restarted my Mac Pro.
    5. I reinstalled my new printer driver which I had previously downloaded from Epson Support.
    6. I restarted my Mac Pro and found that the new driver had installed correctly and full functionality had been returned to the Print Features Dialogue box i.e I could now turn of color management and access advanced features to set the quality of printing using the full spec of the R2400.
    Hope this post will be helpful to others if they have a similar problem

  • Adobe Camera Raw  for Nikon - generate JPEG with color off

    Hi,
    I am learning Photoshop and Camera RAW. I am using CS2 and ACR 3.7 on Windows XP.
    I have noticed that the JPEG file generated by CAMERA RAW has the color slightly off (towards the bluish direction).
    This is what I did, I started Adobe Bridge, I opened up the Nikon RAW file (from D200) with Camera RAW and then generated the JPEG file without using any AUTO or custom setting (took the As SHOT setting). After the JPEG file is generated, I compared the JPEG file, with the file on Camera RAW window, the color of the pictures don't match up. So what you see on Camera RAW window is not what you get in JPEG. The color shown in the Camera RAW window is warmer than the JPEG file. I used the Widnows default jpeg viewer and the Arcsoft Editor to look at the JPEG file, and confirmed the color of the JPEG file is off from the original RAW filed viewed Camera RAW widnow.
    However, when I opened that same JPEG file (generated by Camera Raw) in Adobe Photoshop, and the original RAW file (without any modification) in Photoshop, the color of the JPEG file matches up the color of the original RAW file only in Photogroup. I am confused now.
    Why the color of the JPEG file (generated by Camera RAW) looks OK on photoshop, but it is off in other viewers (default Windows viewer or ArcSoft Editor). However, when I used PictureProject (supplied by Nikon) to generate the JPEG file from that same original RAW file (without any modification), and I looked at the JPEG file (generated by PictureProject) on Photoshop, Arcsoft Editor, and default Windows viewer, the color matches up to the original RAW file on all viewers. So the problem only happens to the JPEG file generated by Camera Raw. Any idea?
    Thanks,

    When you saved out the JPEG in Camera Raw, what color space did you save it with?

  • Change Default Color Profile in New Image Document ?

    I've looked and looked, and even Googled.  Anyone know how to change the default color profile when you start a New image file?  In CS5 mine defaults to sRGB (Under the Advanced drop down) but my CS6 is ProPhoto RGB which means I have to change it manually nearly every time I paste an image copied via right click in a web browser. 

    I think it the same on windows. If I copy things to the clipboard with Photoshop that the document profile seem to be used there when I do a paste there are no color issues.  However if I use Prtscn or Alt+PrtScn to capture screen content.  I'll see that the colors are wrong when I paste the clipboard into a new document if my default color space is not sRGB. Then I need to assign sRGB to the document to correct the colors.
    If I paste a screen capture into the current document the color can be very off and I will not get a prompt on the color mismatch. Therefore I don't think a screen capture has any profile associated with it. And of course the screen has a much lower resolution then the images I edit. So there is also a big size difference. Here is one scaled to 100% zoom after the paste. You can see both the color and resolution difference.  This capture was assigned to sRGB so you will see what the screen looks like after the paste and zoom to 100%.

  • CS5 print dlg reverts to 'Photoshop Manages Colors'

    Hello!  I'm struggling with the Print dialog box in CS5 (12.0.4 x64).  I want to apply printer color adjustments to a print job.  I choose 'Printer Manages Colors' then open the Print Settings dialog for the printer, make the changes I want then click OK.  On returning to the Photoshop Print dialog I see that where I had chosen 'Printer Manages Colors' has reverted to 'Photoshop Manages Colors.'  If I open the printer properties dialog again I find the settings set to default rather than to the settings I had just previously selected.
    FYI, under Printer Profile in the Photoshop Print dialog the printer's ICM profile is selected.

    you have a choice of Color Sync or Epson (on a Mac
    in the "Photoshop Manages Colors" work flow, you shouldn't be concerning yourself with ColorSync (or Epson controls)
    you do have Adobe (ACE) set as the Conversion Options: Engine (in Ps Edit> Color Settings> More Options> Conversion Options )?
    but let me go over the basic framework of this workflow in CS5:
    it may be a wise move to delete your printer from Print & Fax and add it back (as well as updating to the latest driver)
    1) Open a copy of WhackedRGB PDI test image in Photoshop
    USE THE EMBEDDED PROFILE (do not convert)
    confirm the "Document Profile" in the lower-left corner of Ps window
    2) File> Print will pull up this window (below)
    DOCUMENT PROFILE is WhackedRGB.icc
    PRINTER PROFILE is your specific printer/paper/ink ICC profile
    RENDERING INTENT (try Perceptual)
    BLACK POINT COMPENSATION (try checking this)
    if you are using CS6 be sure to uncheck 16-bit color
    3) click on Printer Settings... and Printer Settings> Basic to pull up the following screenshot
    Media Type is the "type" of paper surface (not an ICC profile)
    Color Mode: Off (No Color Management) should be grayed (using Photoshop Manages Colors)
    AT THIS POINT HITTING SAVE> PRINT is the correct move to start the printing
    you don't need to monkey around the other areas under this basic tutorial
    if you want to look at Advanced Color Settings to verify driver color management is "off" (for all practical purposes) -- click on Color Settings and confirm:

  • Exporting Tifs:Default Color Space is sRGB

    I'm flabbergasted.
    Again, without warning, Aperture is altering my files. This seems to be part of the design philosophy.
    Go to Output>Export Version.
    From the drop down you can choose a variety of formats. Go to the bottom to Edit...
    And you will see that the default color space for all formats except PSD is sRGB.
    As if that weren't bad enough, there is an option for Black Point Compensation (off by default) and a Gamma slider......with no preview.
    Even with Source Profile selected (shouldn't THAT be the default for heaven's sake?) the black point compensation button and the gamma slider are available to be invoked.
    fp

    It's even WORSE than that:
    I exported a tif from Apeture:
    8bit
    Source profile
    I sent the same master to Photoshop, converted it to 8bit and saved as a Tif with LZW compression.
    First off, since you cannot specify compression when exporting from Aperture the Aperture file was twice as large, 35.1mb vs. 17.3mb for Photoshop.
    But that's not the bad part.
    The Bad part is that the Aperture file had suffered visible damage in the conversion with a visible loss of shadow detail. The Photoshop version had not.
    I tried this a number of times. Interestingly each time I specified Source Profile the dialog box had returned to sRGB when I checked it again. But that wasn't the problem.
    When I changed the export to 16bit tif instead of 8 bit two things happend:
    First, Aperture created not one, but two exports of the same file on my hard drive. I trashed them and tried it again with the same results.
    Second, the 16bit Aperture tif looked very much like the 8bit Photoshop tif. UNTIL I converted the 16bit Aperture tif to 8bit at which point the shadows fell apart just like they had in the 8bit Aperture conversions.
    Very, very bad.

  • Help, Does anyone know why my default color change when running a action?

    I have just bought and installed cs3 extended and when I run a action after a few steps it changes my default colors back to black and white and then at the end of the action it changes back to the colors I picked for the element I am making but the results are a black element. I have downloaded and ran the update to 10.0.1 and am not aware if there are others or if this is just a setting I can make inside the program. Please help! Thanks Jana

    well, I am talking about the default color buttons on the left hand side toward the botton but, the action says at the first to pick the color of your flower so I pick red and the action takes off... then a few steps in it would change to black and white and then back to red and white at the end but the flower came out all black. Okay I am tell you this because so if anyone else has this problem they will know.
    This morning I got up and uninstalled my later version of Photoshop PSE6 that was still on my computer( after moving all shared files needed for new PS to my external HD) and deleted the action (drag to trash can ) then loaded the action again and it worked fine pretty little red flower! Now I hope it will remember my styles! I have had to reload them twice.
    Thank you, Jana

  • Why does Photoshop display colors differently from the other applications even in sRGB mode ?

    Hello all !
    Here is my problem :
    Photoshop is set to use sRGB workspace (in edit/colors.../workspace/RVB).
    If I understand correctly this is how all native windows applications work.
    This means Photoshop and the other applications should display the same colors on a file with a sRGB profile.
    Now this is the case until I calibrate my monitor.
    When I do, Photoshop colors become different from the other applications (irfanview, explorer, browsers...).
    The only way I found to let everything display the same colors is to set Photoshop to use Proofing/RVB Monitor.
    What upsets me even more is that Photoshop colors look "better" to me (dark grays seem to dark to me in the other applications.)
    I have read that this is because Photoshop takes the new profile into account and others applications do not. But I don't think this is relevant here because everything is in sRGB so the only profile is my monitor's and I think calibration is handled globally by windows : everything (including browsers, explorer, and Photoshop) changes color if I choose to apply the monitor's profile or not with windows color management tool ("use my parameters for this device").
    Here is my system configuration :
    - Photoshop CS4 (11.0.2)
    - Windows 7 64 bits
    - HP ZR2440W and DELL 2209WA (these are not wide gamut screens)
    I have spent two days trying to figure the logics behind this and really am upset. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Don't hesitate to ask me if there is something that is unclear or some information I forgot to mention.
    Thanks in advance,
    Yannick

    That sounds like an invitation to continue to talk about the issue.  Fair enough.
    I'm not sure where you're getting "insecurity"...  I am just trying to help you help others more effectively.
    I invite you to re-read just the first sentence of what you wrote very carefully, putting yourself in the shoes of someone struggling with both the terminology and the concepts:
    Photoshop (CMS) reads an embedded ICC profile and CONVERTS it to the custom monitor profile for a theoretical 'true color' display
    Think about what "Photoshop (CMS)" might mean to a person who doesn't know the acronym might stand for "Color Management System" (which is I assume what you meant).  Adobe themselves don't call it "CMS", they use the acronym "CMM" (Color Management Module).  The term "CMS" is used in the computer industry for about a dozen different things.
    While a color profile might have been embedded in an image file before it was opened by Photoshop, Photoshop works on documents.  A profile is not "embedded" in a document, it is maintained by Photoshop with the document and describes the color values in the document.  If Photoshop opens a document without an embedded profile, depending on settings and user choices it might assign a profile or it might even operate on the document without color-management.  Oversimplification doesn't help people when they're trying to learn new things unless it's described as such, for example, "This is a bit of an oversimplification..." or "Generally speaking..."
    Not every monitor profile is a "custom monitor profile".  Quite often a standard profile (e.g., sRGB IEC61966-2.1) is associated with a monitor by the operating system as a default, or a factory profile is installed by a driver package or system update.  Your use of the term "custom" is a bit ambiguous and could be read as implying the creation of a profile using a calibration and profiling device specific to the particular monitor.
    Photoshop's color management code does not convert an embedded ICC profile at all (read carefully what you wrote).  As I said, it transforms color values.  That was the key error in your description that prompted me to comment.
    If ever there is a time to pick words carefully, it's in a color-management discussion.

  • Printing from CS5, Photoshop Manages Colors

    I only do photo quality prints to Epson matte  a few times a year so I run test prints with various settings to get what I want. My granddaughters wanted some prints from a web site framed and my wife wanted  prints of an emailed photo of their old mountain cabin. I had to do some color manipulation of the cabin, but the web site images had been expertly processed and all I had to do was print properly. I experimented with the cabin image print settings. Epson changed the names of all their papers, so the Epson print profiles in the print dialog didn't match the name on the matte paper box. I deciphered that, but I wasn't happy with the result so I tried two of the other Epson profiles and hated it. There's quite a long list of profiles available, some specific, and some just conventional color spaces like sRGB, aRGB. For the heck of it I tried Pro Photo RGB as a printer to paper profile. The print of the cabinimage with an embedded aRGB profile was everything I could want. I did the web site sRGB images the samwe way and they were really nice.
    The puzzle is this: What does using Pro Photo RGB as an instruction to the printer cocerning what it is printing to thru Photoshop even mean? The printer has never heard of the colors possible in Pro Photo, and the source image is in sRGB ( verified by Photoshop). I can conceive that an RAW image should be rendered as aRGB for inkjet and that the inkjet has some blues that are outside the aRGB, but I can't understand telling an inkjet to use Pro Photo to print sRGB.
    Maybe gator soup knows what I'm trying to get at.

  • The workings of Photoshop's color management

    Hey guys!
    I've been spending some time researching and trying to understand the workings of Photoshop's color management and come across a lot of fuzzy and contradicting information, particularly regarding the Proof Setup. I think I have figured some of it out but (for the ease of my sleep) I figured to ask a couple of direct questions just to be sure. I guess it's more of a curiosity thing.
    I'm on a Mac OS X 10.8, Photoshop CS6, calibrated standard gamut monitor, working in sRGB for web.
    1) From what I gathered, to achieve as precise color as possible on my display, all I have to do is set Working Space to sRGB or have images with embeded sRGB tag and have my calibrated monitor ICC profile loaded in the OS X. In that way, all the images and colours in Photoshop will adhere to sRGB and my calibration profile will make sure my monitor is actually displaying correct sRGB colours (to the best of it's ability anyways). Correct?
    2) I have come across a lot of 'quick tips' where people mention using the Proof Setup > Monitor RGB as a way to monitor colours for web and then I've seen people saying that's not right. From what I understand, the Monitor RGB function strips the embeded tag and ignores the working space of the image, instead showing you the RGB values in the 'native' colour space of the monitor, which in my case would be sRGB-ish. Kinda bypassing Photoshop's color management, but not the display calibration profile. Correct?
    3) When viewing an sRGB tagged image, toggling the Proof Setup: Monitor RGB on and off has absolutely no effect. Am I right in assuming that it's because the sRGB tag is getting "switched off" but since the monitor is standard gamut, the native color space is still sRGB?
    What I find weird is when I change the display profile in OS X from my calibrated one to, for example, a Generic RGB, toggling the Proof Setup: Monitor RGB has effect - the image brightness changes visibly. If my assumption above was correct, it shouldn't happen, right? Hence my confusion.
    Thanks!
    Kris

    In terms of Calibration, it's useful to keep this in mind: Calibration ideally places a device in a known, desried and repeatable state. In terms of a display, the 'ideal' calibration for most is one in which the display and the print produce a visual match. YMMV a great deal! You can calibrate a display such it doesn't produce a match quite easily, getting calibration to produce the match takes work! If any of the targets aim points (White Point, Luminance and contrast ratio) is less than ideal, the calibration doesn't produce a visual match. See: http://www.luminous-landscape.com/tutorials/why_are_my_prints_too_dark.shtml
    In theory, if you didn't need to match the display to a print, you don't have to even calibrate the display for an ICC workflow. But you should <g>. You could simply profile it's current behavior which would work in an ICC workflow because you built a profile that reflects the current display conditions. The display will change over time because a display, unlike say an Epson Pro printer, is unstable and it's behavior will change over time. You need to calibrate or get that display back to it's original condition ideally. With the Epson, it's very, very stable (although I'd point out, not necessarily calibrated ideally, if we had more control over the native driver, we could 'adjust' or calibrate a more linear behavior). So with an Epson, you build a profile on top of the less than ideal driver conditions but the driver and the rest of the system is super stable and consistent. You simply need a profile to define that behavior and you're done. The printer and inks are very stable so you could also in theory place a different driver or RIP and calibrate better behavior and profile.
    I'd forget the 'calibrate' a display to sRGB on a modern LCD unit short of perhaps an Eizo or NEC SpectraView system. The sRGB color space is based upon a theoretical CRT display circa 1994 or so, with very defined primaries and conditions. There is no real 'standard' to how one can and should define the display, especially if you want to visually match a print next to the display. The illuminant used to view the print plays a huge role! So providing one set of calibration aim points and expecting all displays to produce a match is pie in the sky. Might be close, might be spot on (I wouldn’t depend on that), might be way off. All explained in the URL above. If one setting worked properly, we'd all use that one setting and calibration products wouldn’t vary from only a few presets (kind of uselss) to products like Eizo and NEC which provide a huge number of options for setting white point as just one example.

  • Change (default) color 'blue'

    Hello experts,
    my problem: i want to change the default color 'blue'. In 'green'. I meen for example ui-element captions is with the attribute rowBackgroundDesign blue, or by tables with CellDesign standard are the readOnly columns blue. I want it in green.
    Can anybody help me? What must i do?
    Thanks for help
    greetings
    Raier

    Hi Rainer,
    there is no direct property like semanticcolor for label , you have to change through kind off design..
    which release you are working on.. i have an idea u go to application configuration in admin mode and go to UI element property and as ulltimately HTML is rendered so there is a trick to handle this..
    For the “Width” parameter, you enter
    6ex; color: white; font-weight:bold; background-color: yellow
    this is a trick and it works for releases prior to NW 7.1
    Let me know if it needs more explanation..

  • Replicating Photoshop's Color Blend in Flash

    Hi, I'm trying to repllicate PhotoShop's 'Color' blend in
    Flash. Flash 8 does not offer a 'Color' blend mode. The closest
    that it offers is 'Overlay'.
    Do any Photoshop/Flash users out there have any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Whoa, stop right there. This is not nearly as complicated as you think.
    The monitor profile is used by Photoshop to display the image without any intervention from you. You calibrate and forget it, don't touch that profile. You can work in any color space you like.
    The way this works is that Photoshop converts from the document profile to the monitor profile, on the fly, as it displays the image. The calibrator automatically sets the profile as system default for that monitor at OS level, so that Photoshop knows where to look for it.
    When you calibrate, two things happen. The first is that the monitor is calibrated to a basic set of parameters: white point, gamma, luminance, black point. This happens either in the video card or internally in the monitor and affects everything globally.
    Then a monitor profile is created. This is a complete description of the monitor's response, in 3-dimensional color space, in its calibrated state. Some applications will use this profile, but most will just ignore it.
    The reason Photoshop matches other non color managed applications if you use the ColorMunki profile as document profile, is because you then have effectively disabled color management, so everything will behave identically (but not correctly).
    Remember, Photoshop converts from document profile to monitor profile. If they are the same, nothing happens, which is exactly what a non color managed application does: absolutely nothing. It doesn't even matter which profile you use as long as they're the same. The net result is always the same: no color management.

  • When i save a file on Photoshop the color turns darker.

    Hi everyone,
    I have CS6 and when i am working on Photoshop the color is fine and everything shows up how i want. Although when i save the file to a .jpeg the color drastically darkens to a point all my lighter details are lost. I tried emailing the .jpeg and .psd to another computer in my house and it works fine on them.My color settings currently are set to North America General Purpose 2 with sRGB selected. Past this point i don't really know what to try, if anyone has any suggestions on how to resolve this issue fire away please.

    Photoshop is a color managed application, and uses icc profiles to maintain color appearance over a broad range of scenarios. This includes both a document profile and a display profile.
    Many other applications are not, and all bets are off there unless you take specific precautions. So the question is, what application are you viewing the saved jpegs in outside of Photoshop?
    A screenshot showing the two side by side would help pinpoint the exact issue here.
