Preview paper color

Is it possible to specify the paper color the document will be printed on, and preview the effect of the paper color while working on the document, and/or before printing? (This would be essential for me before I can abandon InDesign)

maya,
No, this isn't possible in Pages. In fact, you can't technically change the background color in a Pages document, although some users get around this limitation by inserting a colored rectangle, then stretching it to fit the dimensions of the page.

InDesign to PDF - Keeping Paper color/ BG color transfer

Hello, I'm working on a "Yellow pages" project, where i have changed the "paper" color to a canary yellow, as is going to printed. Is there a way to keep that color when exporting to PDF, so that the background/ paper color remains or transfers to the PDF? ...as is it changes to white when i export. Thank you.

>Save the file and then
create a new file. I put a yellow frame on the master and then place the
original file. I set the ad to multiply to show my client for approval.
Yes, but you still wouldn't do this with a yellow paper color, would you Bob. OP needs to do it with a new color called "bg yellow" and I'd argue ideally change that paper yellow back to white ASAP! AFAIK, that's nothing but mischief waitin to happen, I tell ya.
Maybe it's just the Quark in me or the 5th black, but the road to forehead slapping was built on not changing it back...
('cause I ain't never slapped my forehead over anything else ;) )

When inserting a .pdf of a document with a standard white paper color the test and images show up, but the white background is transparent. How do you also make the white paper color show up?

When inserting a .pdf of a document into a Keynote template with a standard white paper color the text and images show up, but the white background is transparent. How do you also make the white paper color show up?

Use the color fill option - select the inserted .pdf and assign a fill color of white to it using the Color Fill Menu on the Toolbar or the Color Picker Palette.
Good Luck.

What is the corresponding DOM property to control the "Simulate Paper Color" option on Print dialog

I want to simulate the following manual steps in script:
Manual steps:
1. File->Print->Color Management
2. Click "Proof" radio button
3. Uncheck "Simulate Paper Color"
Script:
2. app.documents[0].printPreferences.sourceSpace = SourceSpaces.PROOF_SPACE;
3. ??? here I can't find the corresponding property or method to uncheck "Simulate Paper Color"

I think I have figure out the corresponding property, it is PrinterPreset.intent
Assigning PrinterPreset.intent to RenderingIntent.absoluteColorimetric equals to checking "Simulate Paper Color", assigning it to RenderingIntent.relativeColorimetric equals to unchecking the box.

Soft proofing using "Simulate paper color"

Does anyone really understand exactly how this function is supposed to work? With the extreme move that occurs when Simulate" is clicked on, It seems virtually impossible to make corrections to the file that resemble the original look of the file. The idea is that the "Simulate" option shows you the image as the printer sees the image before he makes his corrections on press (by adding ink to the press run) and if we can compensate with a correction, that it will save the printer loads of time and save me tons of paper. by profiling the epson to a proofing paper and printing with that profile I get a exact rendition of my image. Why do you need "simulate paper color"?

Most computer monitors are much brighter than any printed sheet. The Simulate Paper is doing an Absolute Colorimetric rendering through the paper profile to the screen, attempting to show you the real color of the paper, not the bright white of you monitor. If you monitor is extremely well calibrated and you have good custom profiles of your output paper - and controlled viewing conditions, all of this can work pretty darned well, but only if all those little ducks are actually in the same row. The biggest problem is that most paper profiles are not accurate enough to simulate the paper white, and the least bit of error is clearly seen with the naked eye.
Typically when you have a paper that is not super white, the color and tone of the paper will have a gradual effect on colors from paper white into the midtones, dirtying up the lightest colors. Newsprint would be a common offender. If you're printing on #1 sheets the effect is very small if you notice it at all. Experience will tell you when you need to compensate. Trusting the Absolute Colorimetric rendering on Epson proofs will probably cause you more problems that you started with unless you've manually edited the Absolute Colorimetric rendering white point of the output profile, a trial and error process where the eyes are much more accurate than any spectrophotometer.
Personally I almost never use it for offset unless it's newsprint or some other really crappy paper. I find it somewhat useful for inkjet canvas and fine art papers, but that's about it.

Can i change the preview background color?

Hi
can i change the preview background color?
it's gray , may i change it?
thanks
i use bridge cs6

can i change the preview background color?
Yes you can do so in the Bridge preferences under general both Ui interface and image backdrop can be changed
In the same preferences Cache you can change the location of the central cache to where ever you will. But you have to realize that if you use an external disk this can cause all kinds of problems regarding speed, performance and permission issues. best to keep it on an internal disk and having an SSD available will be even better because you will benefit from performance and speed very much.
it's gray , may i change it?
As long as you have a legal version and it is able to change then feel free to set it to your own custom wishes...

Inconsistency in the Preview with Color Noise Reduction

Adobe guys: You have a bad variable access, bad pointer, or something in Camera Raw with regard to Color Noise Reduction...
If I have color noise reduction turned off (set to 0), I see this:
And in fact it converts to just what shows in the preview:
If I bump the Color noise reduction slider up to 1 with the Color Detail slider at 100, I get this wonderful DeBayer smoothing in the preview:
But alas, this is what comes out in the conversion:
The smoothing shown DOES in fact match if one sets the Color Detal slider to 50 at the middle of the scale:
This is just an annoyance, but it does take some trial and error to see what you really want the Color Detail slider set to.
By the way, I notice that the jaggies come and go seemingly randomly when the Color Detail slider is at 100 and I move the Color slider. I suspect you're reading the wrong or random location for Color Detail, or maybe have an overflow/underflow condition somehow.
Object oriented programming - fraught with gotchas.
-Noel

What you are seeing is a limitation of the diagonal/curve behavior of the current demosaic method on colored boundaries, combined with the (preview-quality) color noise reduction with specific settings. It is the demosaic strategy that is at fault here (and is why you see these results in the final exported result).

How change paper color

how can i change the paper color? i mean, how can i set the default back color for my pages?
i sow in some template different paper color (ex blue with gradient effect...) but i'm not aable to modify it...
thank's a lot.

Hi,
If I remember correctly, you can set a document's colour using the FONT INSPECTOR.
1) Call up the Font Inspector
2) Make sure the Effects are showing [shows a series of little shapes - allowing to change underline, font colour, font shadow, change document colour]
3) If you hover over the 4th shape, it shows a pop-up saying it's for Document Colour]
4) Select the 4th shape, to bring up a Colour thingy and choose the colour you want !!
As far as I know, it changes the background for the WHOLE document - so it's maybe not the ideal thing if you want to change the colour for just a single page.

HD TV or LCD monitor with HDMI,DVI supported to preview and color grading

Finally I got my canon HFS100 and Intensity Pro now what type of the monitor should I get to preview and color grading video via intensity pro between HD TV or LCD monitor with HDMI,DVI supported and how to calibrate monitor via intensity pro.
Please help.

The main downside is that an HDTV is designed to be used at TV viewing distance. So it would work fine for presentations, where the audience is sitting more than 5 feet away. But at typical computer screen distance of 2-3 feet, it is the same 1920x1080 pixels spread out over a 32-inch screen. Oh, actually, that HDTV you mentioned is only "720p", which is only 1280x720. That may not look all that good at TV distance either, if you are displaying images that are static (non-motion).
Your eyes will have to work harder to see the same screen real estate, because everything is bigger on the screen. Images and text will not look as sharp (more pixelated) because each pixel is larger. It won't be like using a 30-inch Cinema Display, which has 2560x1600 pixels. Each pixel on that 32-inch 720p HDTV is more than 4 times larger.
A 1080p HDTV would be somewhat better, because that is 1920x1080 resolution.

I am unable to get same preview image colors in Bridge and Lightroom

I am unable to get same file preview in Bridge and Lightroom. The Lightroom preview image (in both the Library and Develop) is more de-saturated. But the exported/saved jpegs match. If I try to match the Lightroom preview image to the Bridge preview image, the resulting Lightroom export colors are off. I have tried this with images with no changes and with changes and the result is the same. I have Lightroom 5.6 and CR 8.6. I am using the latest version of Bridge.
I contacted Adobe support and followed all instructions to try to fix but the problem remains. This comment was made after several solutions were tried, including updating Lightroom. :
Adobe: there would be little difference in case of preview of Bridge CC and Lightroom 5. However, after exporting it would be same. Both use different technology at the background and work in a different way. The preview which you see in lightroom is not the actual image but incase of Bridge you see the actual image ( original ). That's the reason there is a color variation between previews.
Me: But how can I then use the Lightroom preview to get accurate colors when processing a RAW file? If I do adjustments to the RAW file in Lightroom it looks different when exported. That doesn't seem to make sense when Lightroom is designed for photograhy
Adobe: Please check in develop module of lightroom.
Me: Nothing changes in the develop mode. The image looks the same as in the preview/Library mode.
This screenshot shows the unmodified images in Develop (Lightroom) and ACR (Bridge). The color differences are significant.
Lightroom exported jpeg file, unmodified from preview image in Develop (which looks like Bridge preview image not the Lightroom preview)
Bridge saved jpeg file, unmodified from preview image in ACR
Any suggestions on what I need to do to Lightroom to make it show accurate colors. If not, I don't see any point in using it to process files.
Thanks, Marie

Bridge is just a browser. It displays according to the embedded color profile but assumes sRGB for all untagged images.
In Lightroom library previews use Adobe RGB and in Develop the working space is Pro Photo RGB.
The real question is why use both Bridge and Lightroom. Stick to one, not both.

Doesn't feed paper. color laserjet pro mfp m177fw

I just bought the Color Laserjet Pro MFP M177fw. I removed all the packing as instructed in the installation guide.
While initializing the printer makes a strange noise. When I try to print it gives me a message to load paper. No matter how much paper I load in tray 1 it gives me the same message. I removed the paper and tray 1. Then using a torch I looked in the bin and I don't even see the white metallic rod moving when I give a print command. I suspect that there is something stopping the metalic rod from rotating. I see two black clips on both ends of the rod. Manual didn't mention it but was I suppose to take them out? Or there is another problem?
Need help.
Thanks

Hi @fkk ,
I read your post and see that the new printer is initializing and the printer makes a strange noise. You are also getting the message to "load paper". I would really like to be able to help you resolve this issue.
It sounds like there might be some more packing material inside the printer. Please check and remove any packaging material inside the printer. Here is a document for Setting Up the Printer Hardware for HP Color LaserJet Pro M177fw MFP Printers.
Disconnect the USB/Network/FAX and power the printer on Standalone.
Do a hard reset to see if that will resolve the issue.
Leave the printer on and unplug the power cable from the printer and wall outlet for 60 seconds.
Then reconnect the power cable to the printer and wall outlet rather than a surge protector.
This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
If the issue persists, perform a power drain by disconnecting the power cord from the back of the printer and keeping the power button pressed for 30 seconds and in case of a power switch keep the switch in ON position for 30 seconds before reconnecting the power chord.
Try and update the printer's firmware. HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw.
Please check your private messages for additional steps to try.
In the forum beside your handle name just click on the envelope to view it.
How is the printer connected? (USB/Ethernet/Wireless)

Output Preview Changes Colors

In our softproofing setup, we have our press profile set up as the default CMYK profile in Acrobat 9. However, when we open the Output Preview window with the same profile set under Simulation Profile, the appearance of the color changes (some colors more so than others). I'm probably missing something simple, but I would think that the appearance should stay the same unless you change the Simulation Profile to a different profile.
I look forward to reading about what a doofus I am...

Please explain in more detail. A screen shot might help. Also version of Acrobat.

Preview: Adjust Color greyed out for PDFs

Just scanned a bunch of pages as a PDF and opened it in Preview. The levels were off so I wanted to Adjust Color, but it was greyed out. Am I correct in assuming that this only works with image files, not PDFs?

A PDF file cannot be edited like a document file except using Adobe Acrobat. You can edit the original document, then create a new PDF. This is also true of image files if they have already been made into PDFs.
