Preview Color Management broken? Profile not applied?

Hi all,
I've come upon an inconsistency and wondered if anyone else is having this issue?
I profiled my Xerox Color Laser Printer. When I print out of Photoshop CS 4 my prints look great.
If I print out of Preview (Mac OS X 7.5), the colors are not correct and the In Printer color management prints match the ColorSync Color Managed with my new custom profile selected prints? I tried turning on the soft proofing, and the screen image in Preview looks amazingly like my successful Photoshop Color Managed Print, but when I print, the image appears as if the printer profile is not being applied. FYI, this profile is an ICC v2 Profile.
As I noted prints out of Photoshop are accurate and just fine.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, and so long for now, TOM

Thanks for the reply Richard. I indeed tried the latest driver, 91.31. The new control panel was quite confusing. I managed to get to the performance and quality place, but there was no way to set a color profile to a specific game, so keeping the same drivers, I went back to the classic control panel. Color profiles can't seem to be applied for game profiles, as the value in the profile switches to a "0" every time I hit apply (read that some other guy on the nZone forums had the same issues). So as of now, I just use the 84.21 drivers and set the color profile manually in the taskbar.
By the way, does anyone else here set color profiles in their game profiles? If so, how's the experience?

Pleae Help me, I've tried it all, Color management broken? (Photoshop only)

Hey guys... I'm at the brink of despair....
whenever I open an Image in Photoshop its colors are completely corrupted (color management broken)
I've tried the following things so far....
Reset Photoshop setting vie holding ctrl + alt + **** while startup - didn't work
Synchronize color settings via Bridge - didn't work
Reinstall Photoshop - didn't work
Adjust my monitor - didn't work
Opened through bridge - didn't work
Does anybody know why its only Photoshop ?
All other software don't seem to have problems, I viewed them in Irfanview and the windows picture viewer and they are correct, but as soon as I open them in Photoshop they're broken..
The color Profiles are the same (Ps settings are sRGB, the image is also set to sRGB) yet broken colors.
Mostly the saturation/brightness and the the color spectrum seems to be incorrect...
Anyone with helpful advices ?
I am studying Communications-design and need to work with PS
Please help
Love
Oz

Ah got ya, with some images, the colors always doffer, sometimes I open an .jpg in Camera raw first to adjust some values and open it in ps afterwards and I dunno why some pics just won't be displayed correctly...
So My Monitor is not a really good one (Samsung Syncmaster p2470) its default ICC profile is: Samsung - Natural color pro 1.0 ICM
I realized that pressing alt + ctrl + shift doesnt affect the color settings... What's the default for that btw ?
So is my monitor even able to display the whole adobe rgb color spectrum or should I go for srgb instead ?
And after setting the color profile for the monitor, should I set my color settings in ps to "monitor" or to the color profile itself ?
But no matter what I should leave the "View" section right ?
Thx

Color Laserjet CP3525 Color Management ICC Profile?

Hi ... Is there a color management ICC profile for the Color Laserjet CP3525?
I see references here and there on the web but can't seem to locate it.
I have installed the Postscript Driver for this printer but nothing is coming up
in the profiles in Photoshop. Thanks for any help on this!

You can download the ICC profiles for your printer here: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodSeriesId=3690646&obj...

V1.5.1, Contact Printing Color Management Broken (?)

I'm finding the color to be off significantly when trying to print contact sheets in v1.5.1 (yes, I'm using color management and color managed printing with custom made printer profiles).
The same images print fine if they are printed on their own through Aperture. It's only when printing contact sheets. All images are from Canon 1DsM2 raw files.
It all worked fine under v1.5.0.
Anyone else finding this?
Here's a sample:
This shows Aperture with the Print Window:

This shows what happens when hit "preview" and what it looks like when it prints (Epson R2400):

Yep wouldn't you know it. I made contact sheets from 1.5 just after I installed it on my machine and they came out great! The client calls me two days ago and asks for another set of contact prints, I fire up Aperture 1.5.1 to re-print the contacts.... Hey! What's happened to my color!
It's true, if I print one image, the color is just fine, once I try and print more than one image on a contact sheet, KERPOW! The color is way off, not even remotely close.
You don't even need to print the images, you can do a "Save as PDF" or "Preview" and see the same effect on screen.
I confirmed that it happens to both RAW and JPEG files from my Olympus E-500.

Color management/print profile setting in LR2

I tried to set a custom print profile in the LR2 Print Module. Specifically, I picked print to JPEG and under "Color Management" I picked "Profile/Other. When I pick other, an empty pick panel pops up. I use Vista 32 and under "\Windows\system32\spool\drivers\color" there are lots of ICC profiles available. How do I point LR2 to the location where Vista stores these profiles?

franz:
>As described in my opening problem description, I would like to print to JPEG and using the new LR2 ICC profile option provided under "Color Management" / "Profile/Other" and pick an ICC profile.
I'm not sure what the solution may be. When I chose to print to a .jpg file I see four profiles show up: sRGB, Adobe RGB, and Pro Photo RGB in addition to my normal printer profile. If I chose 'Other' then I see all of the profiles in C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\color. If I deselect 'Include Display Profiles' then I only see those profiles associated with my default printer. I know that sRGB and Adobe RGB are installed by the disk that installed my V500 scanner drivers, but those are 'generic' files and may also have been installed by other driver software.
Note, none of the profiles in that folder were copied there by me. All 31 were installed either by a printer driver installation, monitor installation, or installation of my Epson V500 scanner.
Quite possibly some were there after I installed the system but before I installed any drivers--I can't say for sure because I never looked at that folder before installing drivers.

Color Management Custom Profiles - None available (Vista)

I get bad color in my prints from LR. My printer supports Adobe RGB, and hence I believe it would fix the problem is I could get LR to convert the image to Adobe RGB before printing. Under Color Management, I click on "Managed by Printer" to get a popup menu that has both "Managed by Printer" (checked) and "Other" as options. I select "Other" and a window appears with the title "Choose Profiles" and the text "Choose profiles to appear in Custom Profile popup:" The problem is that the window is empty. There are no choices! I have checked and I have the ICC files installed in Windows\System32\spool\drivers\color and they are associated with my printer by windows. I copied and add icm versions of the icc files. Still no profiles appear.
Does this work for others? Can anyone get any options to show up?
Thanks for any help or advice.
Davy

AdobeRGB and sRGB are NOT printer profiles, they are color spaces and you should not be able to select them in Lightroom. You need actual printer profiles if you want to print application managed from lightroom. Almost every reasonably modern printer includes them. It looks like this printer does not include them in a way so that you can use them. On most printers, you can still print printer managed, but it appears that this printer is not correctly color managed. I checked out the manual for it and it clearly is not color managed at all. Typical for HP's consumer line unfortunately. Apart from having a profile generated by any of the places that do that for you (which is about as expensive as an ink cartridge), I don't think you can print to this thing from Lightroom at all. In this case, really the printer manufacturer is to blame. They should have been doing ICC/ICM color management ages ago instead of relying on all applications to be dumb. It still stinks though.

No color management option is not available in photoshop cs5 mac

Currently have CS5 for Mac; upgraded to Mavericks and now the "no color management option" in the print dialog box is not selectable. Any help with this please advise.

If we're looking at the same thing that's greyed out (the Color Mode setting for an Epson printer), to make that active you have to first choose Color Matching, which is in the same menu that Printer Settings is on, and then choose Epson Color Controls. But on my Mac, Color Mode is already set to "Off (No Color Management)" even though it's grayed out.
If it says "Off (No Color Management)" in the printer driver and at the same time Photoshop is set to "Photoshop Manages Colors" and the correct printer profile is selected in Photoshop, you should be fine.
It's important to note that the only purpose for the Adobe Color Printer Utility is to bypass OS color management in order to print targets for printer profiling, not to print actual images. If you're trying to print an image, you shouldn't be using the Color Print Utility. The utility won't add back a No Color Management option to Photoshop itself, because that option has been permanently removed.

2008 R2: Authorization Manager Permissions do not apply

I used authorization manager to modify the initialstore.xml.
I created a new role definition to allow techs to manage vms. Start, Stop, Reconfigure VMs. All View Options. and some more.
I created a new role assignment and added the the technician ad group
I closed the file.
Hyperv manager still shows you do not have required permission. contact the admin of the auth policy.
Am I missing a permission that they need or is the policy not applying to Hyper-v. The changes persist when I close and repopen the xml file.
We do use failover cluster and scvmm for this hyperv instance, if that matters.

It does matter if you use SCVMM.
SCVMM replaces the default authorization manager store with its own. (there was a bug at one time that the over-rode any modifications you made)
The SCVMM team runs with the concept that if you are using SCVMM, then you are doing all of your actions in SCVMM and SCVMM is thus vetting the permissions.
Also, most folks use HVRemote to set AuthMan properly.

Why is color management enabled (all, not just tagged) firefox showing images with higher black level than other color managed programs?

Using Win 7 and spyder calibrated (lut based) display. image editing programs show lower black level than firefox. Firefox images are too light.

Ehkä ensimmäisenä asiana on että sen saa pois päältä: https://addons.mozilla.org/fi/firefox/addon/color-management/
Sen jälkeen tämä näyttäisi olevan sama ongelma kuin täällä: http://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/3569891
Tämä näyttäisi olevan ongelma, jota on vaikea toisintaa (siis kenen tahansa, jolla kalibrointi toimii). Vai olenko väärässä? Jos ongelmaa ei pysty toisintamaan, sitä ei ikävä kyllä ole myöskään mahdollista ratkaista.

Color Profile Not Applied After Reboot.

Hi guys, I posted this in the nZone forums, but no one replied, so I'm trying my luck here.
I created and saved a color profile named "Games", in which the brightness is set to a bit higher to compensate for dark games. Then in the Performance and Quality tab, I created a game profile named HL2 and associated hl2.exe with it. Switiching to Advanced settings in view, I changed the color profile to Custom - Games. After clicking Apply, starting Half-Life 2 or Counter Strike: Source will cause the brightness to be at an acceptable level.
However, after rebooting, the profile seems to have been forgotten. The game would run under the brightness I set my desktop at. The game profile is still there, however, remembered in the profile for the game under Performance and Quality. I would have to select the HL2 profile again and click Apply for it to take effect again. This happens EVERY time the machine reboots. I have uninstalled the drivers and manually deleted some files left behind, with Driver Cleaner Pro, and then reinstalled to no avail. Is there a way to fix this? This also happens to a profile I made for Guild Wars.
Any help would be appreciated.
Specs: 6600 GT PCI-E with 84.21 drivers, running a Dell 2005FPW through the DVI connector.
AMD 3000+ on Epox 9NPA+Ultra
1 GB RAM
160 GB SATA
And just as an experiment I installed Windows and Guild Wars on a 6 year old 8 GB hard drive. It was a clean install, with only drivers (mobo, GPU) and Guild Wars installed. Same thing happens. I even tried the 78.01 and 93.31 drivers. 93.31 wouldn't even allow custom color profiles for whatever reason.

Thanks for the reply Richard. I indeed tried the latest driver, 91.31. The new control panel was quite confusing. I managed to get to the performance and quality place, but there was no way to set a color profile to a specific game, so keeping the same drivers, I went back to the classic control panel.

Profiles not applied?

Having some frustration with AC 1.7, using a new iMac mini with OS X 10.10. I am attempting to set up a "master" backup to apply to a number of other iPads( 32 GB Air using ver. 8.1).
All our iPads have been prepared in AC, and I have made a backup of the unit that I would like to apply to all iPads. I have also made & enabled a basic profile for WiFi settings and to set restrictions. However, when I connect an iPad and allow it to refresh, my restrictions are not reliably transferred. Am I missing something? Am I correct in assuming the profile settings should be installed (as long as I check the box next to the profile name)? We are deploying 10 units now, so the restrictions can be managed manually, but we plan to ramp up our device inventory as soon as possible. Have been following the Configurator guide- but still having difficulties. Any insight would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

Hi,
How about your problem now? How many system encounter this problem? Is all policy couldn't be applied? Is there any feedback when using gpresult to check policy applied status?
As Group Policy applies after user identity authentication, generally speaking, user logoff and back doesn't helpful with this problem.
When this problem occures, have you checked event log if it identify this problem?

IPCU for windows- proxy authentication profile not applied on ipad

Dear All,
We are using iPCU 2.2 on a windows for configuring ipad.
We have configured a payload for a Wi-Fi network with these proxy settings :
- manual
- hostname
- port
- authentication : login & password.
The problem is that the proxy settings are applied on the iPad except the authentication settings.
Looking at the installed profile on the iPad, the authentication is on "OFF" whereas it should be on "ON" with the login and password from the profile.
It is bug for IPCU, Please update IPCU to remove bug as soon as possible
Thanks
Amit

Amit, we can feel your pain. This issue has been described in several other forum threads since the newest version (3.4) of IPCU for Windows was released. My understanding is that it has been reported to Apple Engineering. A posted thread on this forum will not typically come to Apple's attention. You might try going to this location

PS6; print; PS print settings; color management; printer profile: how to get paper profile to "stick" for multiple prints of same paper type, ie Matte. Mine reverts to Luster as the default.

see question

Hola Gustavo,
your task is for me not quite clear. I can see two scenarios:
a) Calibrate the press for ISONewspaper26v4 ink (your standard process) on salmon colored paper.
    Print the target by press on this paper, measure and build the profile. There is no problem so far.
    But preparing CMYK data with this profile for printing by press requires a very complicated gamut
    compression, becauses the gamut of the actual process on salmon paper is small and excentric
    in Lab. As mentioned in my previous post.
b) Simulate the appearance of press prints on salmon paper, disregarding the salmon color by profiles.
    This shall be done in your case by a toner printer.
    The toner printer has to be calibrated with white paper. As a result one gets a valid Printer Profile.
    The proof printing happens for a CMYK file, for instance a PDF/X-1a file so:
    Input profile: ISONewspaper26v4
    Output profile: Printer Profile
    Printed on salmon paper!
    The printer profiling converts the toner printer into a more or less reliable proof printer. This has nothing
    to do with colored paper.

Managed mouse setting not applying on clients

Hi,
I am trying to add right-click functionality on the mac clients in a couple of my schools.
I have added the .plist file to the Workgroup Manager Preferences pane for the groups as always managed.
When I log on as a user and open Mouse Preferences the right side is set to secondary button (as I want it to be), but the mouse will not right-click. If I check in System Profiler under Managed Preferences, it shows up correctly also.
The only way it will right-click is if I go into Mouse Preferences and manually select secondary button.
Any suggestions?

Can the servers get the other policies from MP?

WLC QoS Profiles not applying egress

In regards to QoS profiles on the WLC. I have applied a profile to a newly created WLAN and set the Per User Bandwidth to 512k and it seems to be kicking in on the ingress only, does anyone know if this is supposed to work ingress AND egress or is it just designed to work one way? I have a 4402-25 with Cisco 3500 AP's and am running the 7.0.98 code.
If it is designed to work one way only is there a different way to apply it ingress and egress simultanenously off the WLC?

Hello,
WLC QoS bandwidth policies do in fact only apply in the downstream direction. Clients will still be able to upload at an unlimited speed.
You will need to look at another solution if you need to limit upload speeds -- one example would be user-based rate limiting on the 6500 platform:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/switches/ps5718/ps708/prod_white_paper0900aecd803e5017.html
There are likely other solutions available as well.
