Preview Lost Functionality: "Match to Profile"

Many of my images are in various profiles other than Generic RGB, mostly CMYK and similar. With Leopard, I could simply change them to desired formats by opening the image in Preview, selecting Match to Profile, and choosing a fitting profile (often Generic RGB). Now, on Snow Leopard, that option is gone, with only Assign Profile visible. When selected, this only allows selection of the image's current profile.
How do I duplicate the functionality of Leopard's Preview?

I get your specific behavior when dealing with that file. From that I surmise that the other profiles in /System/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/ aren't applicable to that file in SL's Preview. Since it worked in Leopard, I consider it a bug and recommend that you file it with Apple via its Bug Reporter system. Join the Apple Developer Connection (ADC)—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. If you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your bug report/enhancement request. You'll get a get a Bug/ER ID number; thus, starting a dialog directly with engineering.

  • Match to profile GONE in Preview after 10.5 to 10.6 upgrade

    Why on earth has the "Match to profile" option disappeared from Preview in 10.6??
    This was extremely useful for converting RGB images to CMYK before shipping to professional printers.
    Will this ever be fixed? Is there a workaround?
    There was no need to remove this feature. I'm a little upset about it. HELP!

    I completely agree that this is a significant loss of functionality. Upon reporting this as a bug, Apple Engineering referred to the existing bug 5177539. Feel free to submit a bug report to perhaps raise their awareness of this issue at bugreport.apple.com (requires free ADC account) and/or apple.com/feedback

  • Lost Functionality !!! Have both 3.6.13 and 4Beta 9,10,11

    Lost Functionality !!!
    I installed a number of add-ons before installing Firefox 4 Beta 9 and now I have lost much functionality! I have tried to disable many of the add-ons.I even uninstalled 4 Beta 9 after the beta 10 upgrade was added and went back to 3.6.13 but to no avail.\I am afraid that I am going to have to uninstall the whole mess and start over but I am on a slow dial-up ISP and that is prohibitive because of time concerns. This is one of the main issues : I hover over most but not all links with the cursor and it highlights the link button but when I left click nothing happens and I have tried everything that I can think of so I do not know if it is one of the add-ons or a different problem. I will have to go through my back-ups and see if i have saved a copy of 3.6 somewhere unless someone has an answer to this issue

    Have you tried creating a new Profile?

  • Sidebar missing from iCal in Lion - seeking a third party product to restore lost functionality

    Apple has removed the sidebar, the always-on list of calendars that required no click.
    The shallow popover that appears only when clicked — obscuring part of the calendar before disappearing — is to me (and some others) an unacceptable substitute for working with multiple calendars, especially where calendars are grouped across multiple servers.
    I'm aware of third party alternatives to iCal. (Most full-featured calendar interfaces do have an always-on full-height list of calendars. Probably the best known alternative to iCal is BusyCal.)
    This topic does not seek alternatives; I do wish to continue using iCal, albeit in a way that is less frustrating than what Apple forces upon users of 10.7.
    This topic seeks:
    a third party product that will restore lost functionality to iCal.
    To any developer who reads this topic: please, I beg you, on my knees, submit your iCal sidebar app — or whatever you wish to call it — to the App Store as soon as you can. I'll gladly pay, and more than gladly help to test any pre-Store development version.
    Other readers please note: whilst I'm extraordinarily frustrated by Apple's design decision, this is not an invitation to rant. Let's gain something constructive from this discussion.
    If you wish Apple to restore the sidebar to iCal, as an option, then please:
    submit iCal feedback to Apple, with your use case; explain why for you personally the limited disappearing popover is a poor substitute; explain how the sidebar will improve both (a) your productivity and (b) your appreciation of Apple's software.
    Side note: no category includes iCal, so I file this opening post under Using Mac OS X v10.7 Lion.
    Thank you

    the new way
    Many things in the new iCal are beautifully designed. I am certain that the new iCal will be enjoyed by people who use the new multi-session screen sharing for Mac OS on iOS (that should be a separate topic).
    iCal's aqua popover default may be perfect for people who have only a handful of calendars.
    Critically
    The new design fails completely to offer an always-on full-height list of calendars — invaluable when working with more than a handful of things.
    The screenshot below, taken whilst evaluating BusyCal, shows a subset of my list of calendars (more than the average user, that's why an always-on list is so valuable). In shot: three accounts on a CalDAV server. I have other, lesser used accounts on other CalDAV servers. Also some use of Exchange servers. My own case is extreme but there's a guiding principle for a variety of use cases:
    some users need to see the list of calendars all the time.
    What's exmplified below has become impossible in iCal 5.0 (1535) in Mac OS X 10.7 (Build 11A511).
    I plead with Apple, or a third party developer, to restore the sidebar list of calendars to iCal.
    Apple's limitation is acceptable when the user has only two calendars —
    — but for some other classes of user, completely inappropriate.
    The percentage of users troubled by the loss of functionality may be less than the percentage enjoying the popover, but that in itself does not reduce the trouble, the frustration.
    The sidebar was present in 10.4, removed in 10.5. Many users of 10.5 complained.
    The sidebar reappeared in 10.6. Removal in 10.7 is almost completely dumbfounding.
    I would like to say, "give it time — the more you use it, the more it will be appreciated" but for me this is not true. For some weeks I tried to work with this build of iCal and the more I used it, the greater the frustration. I grew to avoid iCal.
    In most ways the feature set of iCal is unequalled. Support for many standards is excellent. The removal of the sidebar is a blight on this brilliance.
    I plead with Apple or a third party developer to fix this at the earliest opportunity. I want Apple iCal — but user-friendly, not crippled.

  • Bridge preview does not match thumbnails

    We've just updated the OS, and had to re-install Bridge and Photoshop (CS4). Unfortunately, the preview doesn't match the thumbnail in Bridge, nor does it match the file when I open it in Photoshop. As far as I am aware, they are both set to the same color space. I have also toggled the "Apply auto tone adjustments" box on and off in preferences, and it seems to make no difference.
    This seems to be a new problem that has only occured since upgrading the OS.
    Thanks in advance for any assistance.

  • Why all gray in sidebar? Lost functionality!

    I've just upgraded (? not convinced I'm seeing an improvement) from 10.6.8 to 10.9.3 and am very disappointed to see that everything in the sidebar is shown in shades of gray. I've used FolderBrander for many years to color code my finder folders and it was great that the folder colors also appeared in the sidebar in 10.6.8. I could group associated folders by color in the sidebar and that made for very rapid and accurate access deep into my folder architecture. I am mourning this lost functionality.
    Could someone suggest how I could send this dissatisfaction along to Apple along with a request to restore colors to the sidebar?

    As an update, that 3rd party program called SideEffects didn't continue to enable the colors in the sidebar to appear. What I find most interesting is that the original color designations ARE present, it's just that some additional code eliminates them from appearing. Seems like Apple should easily be able to give the user the option whether to stay with the insipid all gray theme with colored tags or to re-enable the highly functional display of colors in the sidebar in a window and in the sidebar in the "save as" windows. There's no reason that we couldn't have both the "tags" (apparently meant for people who don't use the folder hierarchy when saving files to enable them to rapidly find their files again) and the previous nicely colorful "labels". I see that the gray sidebar has been a complaint ever since OS 10.7 Lion, but that Apple hasn't fixed the issue through several major OS revisions..
    I feel I've been punished for being very ordered in where I save files on my HD since I made extensive use of the tools provided by Apple in the past: I could color-group subdirectories on my HD within the sidebar to give me very quick access to different portions of the subdirectories I'd made within my Documents folder. I made less use of labels, but also found them to be superior to tags for how I do use them. I have found tags to be of no value to me, at the expense of the loss of something that was of value. I sure hope that Yosemite corrects this — but I’m beginning to have less faith that Apple is even listening to its customers — except for those who use the iOS and not the Mac OS.

  • Aperture 2 previews don't match

    I just got my upgrade aperture 2 and I have noticed on larger projects the previews don't match the image above.
    what gives?

    What do you mean by "above"? I'm not quite sure I'm understanding the exact issue you are seeing - and by "not match", are the colors just slightly different or are you seeing an entirely different image (that is, when selecting a thumbnail the viewer shows a different image which is what I think you may be saying).
    One solution is to try either "Generate Thumbnails" or "Update Previews" across the whole project. I'd start with "Generate Thumbnails". I think there is a key modifier to have it force the Preview update even if one is already there, it may be option.

  • Cropping preview does not match output, constrained sizes.

    I have two separate problems with the Crop tool. The first is that the crop preview does not match the what shows up after I exit crop mode.
    Screen shot of to the preview: tinyurl.com/o9qxcy
    After hitting "done": tinyurl.com/prtsrw
    What is really strange is that I can work around this by expanding the crop size to almost the full size (less ~1 pixel off the bottom) and iMovie crops to the width of the original clip. If I expand it to full size of the preview area the crop still slices to the width, but it is then centered.
    The second problem is that cropping will not let me expand the crop beyond a certain size. I have no work-around for this.
    Screenshot of the max size I can select with the crop tool: tinyurl.com/pjqjno
    Both of these happen both the project area and the clips drawer.

    Bump.

  • My keyboard (wired) has lost functionality on the music PLAY/PAUSE, FORWARD and BACK, and VOLUME KEYS. They do NOTHING. All else is fine. How can I reassign them correctly? (Don't see those functions listed with System Settings/Keybard shortcuts).

    My keyboard (wired) has lost functionality on the music PLAY/PAUSE, FORWARD and BACK, and VOLUME KEYS. They do NOTHING. All else is fine. How can I reassign them correctly? (Don't see those functions listed with System Settings/Keybard shortcuts).

    Crayolla,
    Try doing a SMC and PRAM resets. Sometimes it takes 2-3 attempts for them to work so be a little persistent if they fail the first time.
    SMC RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
    Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
    Release the power button.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    PRAM RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.

  • Lost functionality with Leopard...

    Lost functionality with Leopard upgrade....
    1 - AOL for Mac OS X (10.3.7) application: can't access email addresses when writing mail and can't attach files.
    2 - Canon's MP Navigator (2.2.2) won't batch scan documents with MP830. Worked fine with Tiger.
    3 - Can't mount USB hard drive attached to my airport extreme and when I try the extreme goes offline and I have to restart it.
    How about you all. I only used 'em all the time.

    I have the same problem.
    After upgrade from my Mac Pro to Mac OS X Lion yesterday, the same problem happened described by danhalli.
    No  connection to the printer over 2101nw. The MAC gets all information if an other computer makes a connection to the print server, so the communication works,  however connection cannot be established.
    There was no way to fix it. complete new installation from Printer Software or wireless  HP Print Server did not help.
    Important:  all other computer in the network are working fine with the connection manager (MAC and Microsoft PC´s)
    All MAC computer are working fine  with the SW 10.6.8 . The  SW 10.7.2 does not work I hope it will be fixed soon. If you can not print, it takes a lot of time !!!!

  • After Annotation PDF on Preview, lost search function and some words are replaced by weird characters

    This is the original
    The next one is what it look after I highlighted few sentences.
    Apparrently, the search function lost as well

    I am not familiar with Skim, but I use Adobe Reader all the time and it is quite fast on my Mac mini. Perhaps not as fast as Preview but still quite acceptable. If it is running that slow on your Mac I would suspect either you are low on RAM or perhaps the file you are reading is ill-formed. Are these problems occurring on more than one PDF from more than one original source? Do all PDFs scroll slowly or just some?

  • Grouping words in preview search function for PDFs

    Hi there,
    I'm looking to see if anyone can help me with the search function in preview. I would like to change the search function so that I can search an entire phrase rather than the individual words. For example, when I read business reports I might want to jump straight to the income statement, so I enter "income statement" in the search box. But instead of searching for the phrase "income statement", it shows all results for both "income" and "statement", giving me about 500 matches. Is there a way I can change this so that when I search for a phrase it only shows results for the entire phrase and not each word? Thanks.
    Regards,
    Saiyaman

    Ah, perfect! I've just tried it now and it works very well. Never knew I could do that. It helped me a lot, thank you very much!

  • 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?
