Printing Color Chart (LR3.2) causes some patch color problems !

Hi to all,
Printing Color Chart with Lightroom 3.2 causes problems with some Patches Color !
Color is not uniform, highlighted in the surround for some blue and green patches.
Printing the same chart in Photoshop CS5 causes no problem at all !
Configuration:
New installation (15 days).
Windows 7 Pro (French language), 64 bit.
i7-760 on P7h55 with 6Gb of RAM.
Lightroom 3.2 (French language).
Photoshop CS5 (English language), tested with and without new update.
Canon Selphy CP800 with latest driver.
Any idea ?!
Have a Nice Day.

I want to change the "find" color from its green to some other color

I would like to be able to change the color of "Find" (which is on the Edit Menu) to some other color; on some websites the background color is almost the same shade as green (and I wouldn't know if that's because of my Windows OS color selections (under Properties), or its native to Firefox color selection (and IF that can be changed somewhere on one of the menus, I haven't been able to find it).

Are you referring to the font used for your entires in the text boxes and date boxes? Or the Month and Date fonts? If it's the latter you can't.
If it the former select the font, click on the Option button at the bottom right and then click on the Settings button in the tray that comes out. There you will be able to change the font, size and color everywhere in the calendar:

I am trying to print a chart as a PDF that is in color and the color is not printing

The chart I am trying to print has colored boxes and when I print the chart the boxes are white

Have you checked the ink cartridges and made sure the nozzles are clear? Are you able to print from outside of iPhoto with the correct color?
Try the following: make temporary copy of the library and do the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

Sheetal,
Did you ever find a reason as to why the bars were not printing? I'm experiencing the same problem with Apex 4.1.1. Only the first part prints. Here is the print tag:
<print mode="MultiPage" print_all_columns="true" columns_on_every_page="2" fit_timescale_to_end_of_page="false">
I've changed some of these settings to no avail.

Weird printing artefacts in LR3.3

Hi,
I am trying to get some decent prints from LR3.3 but am getting some weird behavior with the color Orange. This not only happens in LR3.3 but also in Photoshop (CS3 to be exact). I have included some screenshots from Photoshop to demonstrate what happens (as LR is still lacking softproofing...). The first shot is the original picture from a couple of orange beads, the second shot shows what comes out of the printer with rendering intent 'perceptual' (but 'relative' gives similar results). The dark shapes you can see in the second shot are reflections from the objects in front of the beads, only much more emphasized than in the original where you really need to zoom in to see anything.
The odd thing is that if I take the picture from Ligthroom into Photoshop, convert to sRGB and then print, the artefacts do not show.
Anyone have a clue why this emphasis shows (and does not show when using sRGB)? I of course understand that the color is so intense/saturated that it probably does not fit in the printer's gamut, but I would expect some smoother result from 'percecptual' or 'relative' rendering.

I come across effects like this all the time. What happens is that if you
project the printer gamut in 3D in xyz space, a color in the original file
that is outside of this gamut gets mapped onto this surface in a straight
line. The same happens when you convert to the monitor profile for display
however to a different 3D volume of course. 2 colors that are not far from
each other in the original space (prophoto in this case) might end up in
wildly differing places when you first go to the printer profile than when
you go to the monitor profile because the shape (and therefore local slope
of the surface) of the two spaces in 3D is so different. Then when you
subsequently convert to the monitor profile (say when you are softproofing
for your printer) these differences can remain intact even though when you
directly go to the monitor profile (like what happens for display in
Lightroom) you get no difference in color.
Hope this helps.

Low Memory when Printing Excel chart on LaserJet 3015 ll-in-one

Low Memory when Printing Excel chart on LaserJet 3015 ll-in-one
When I try to print a chart from Excel 2007 I get a low memory error. All other printing seems to work just fine. I thought it might be because of a color fill in the chart area so I removed the fill but I'm still getting the error.
I've also cleared the fax memory and run through the steps in http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&objectID=c00378226&prodT...

When an application is installed to the expansion card, that's the only place where you will see it in the app launcher screen, i.e. by selecting the card. It will not appear in the All category because that only shows apps which are installed to internal memory.
As for the Files application, yes, it only lets you browse contents of the card. For a more robust file management utility which will let you browse your entire phone, you might want to look into a freeware application called FileZ, which I believe is available at www.palmgear.com and other places.
I've never run Documents To Go from a card, but when you open Docs to Go and open the Menu > Options > Manage Applications, there is an option there to move applications to the Card. Never having done that, I'm not sure whether it moves the whole DTG app to a card but, give it a try.
I have oodles of applications and documents stored on my Centro's internal memory, and never have run up against a memory problem. At any time, you can check available memory by going to the application launcher (home) screen, opening the menu, and selecting Info.

Printing to an Epson R2880 results in bad color (only from Adobe SW)

I've had a nice workflow that I've used for years. I'm sure many of you would find it a bit tedious and I won't go into the details of it, but the important part is that I always printed out of Photoshop (CS6 Extended - now at 13.0.3 - yes I have the stupid Trial window bug, but that's another matter). My monitors are profiled (no custom printer profiles, but I've downloaded appropriate profiles from PixelGenius for those times when I've needed them, and with my color management my prints have been fairly accurate. I use and Epson Stylus Photo R2880 and I've been very happy with it. I mainly work on a 24" iMac (2009 vintage). Recently I decided to change my workflow entirely based on some of the tutorial videos I've purchased from LL. I decided I was ready to integrate much more LR into the workflow, especially now that it includes soft proofing. Because of the new workflow I was really looking forward to printing out of LR. That should more or less get you current.
To date, I haven't printed with my new workflow and I'd say I haven't printed anything since 13.0.1 on PS and 4.1 on LR (not that I was printing from LR at the time). Having not printed in a while I knew I'd need a head cleaning (sure enough I did) and, as is my habit, once the head was clean, I printed (from LR) a 4x6 of the image I planned on printing at a larger size. It catches any lingering gunk after a cleaning. The print just didn't look right to me (too dark and the colors were a little off). I've encountered prints with bad colors once before and it turned out to be a driver issue. In the process I found a great image that is indicative of some kind of problem and I keep both good and bad prints of it handy... just in case. I decided to print this image, and sure enough it came out looking like the standard craptastic version I was getting with the bad driver ages ago. Just to check out that it didn't have to do with my new process, I printed the same image from PS (which worked fine last time I printed this image). It too came out all wrong (the same all wrong as LR). Since the bad prints looked just like the old "bad driver" prints, I figured I knew what was going on and worked with Epson to reset my print pipeline and reinstall my printers (I also have a Workforce 845 for "throw away" printing and for my wife to use).
With new installs for my printers in place I went ahead and printed again... and again it came out wrong. I was, to say the least, despondent. As a final sanity check I loaded the image up in Nikon Capture NX2 (version 2.3.1) and did a print. All of a sudden the print came out perfect. It matched my old "good" prints and, just as importantly, was a dead ringer for the image on the screen. This is where I find myself. Apparently color management is broken in my Adobe products, but works fine in my Nikon software. I'm at a bit of a loss. I'm 99.999999999% sure that I'm printing out of LR, and especially PS, correctly. Anyone have any ideas? I'd love to be able to print again. Printing out of Capture NX2 is really not a great option.
Thanks in advance,
David

I agree this whole issue is confusing. I have been on the issue (proper printer driver behavior and proper application behavior) using Apple's new print path for a few years now, so I will try to make an attempt to clear up as much confusion as possible.
If drivers and applications are working (written) properly this is how it is supposed to work.
When printer manages color is selected in an application print dialog then all functions of the printer driver are available.
When applications manages color is selected then Color Matching is grayed out defaulted to ColorSync, and the property written print driver defaults to No Color Adjustment (Epson) or No Color Correction (Canon).
See attached examples of both Epson 9600 driver version 8.19 and Canon iPF driver version 2.14.
Epson can and has definitely gotten it right with their latest drivers.
Canon on the other hand uses a special case file (AppColorMatchingInfo.xml) which list the applications that use Apple's new printing path. New application like Photoshop CS5 will need to be added to this file or the driver will default to color management when application manages color is chosen which results in double profiling.
I see nothing that indicates to me that neither Apple or Adobe have problems or bugs in this printflow. Only drivers (and old drivers) that are not written correctly for Apple's new printing path seem to have these problems with double profiling. That being said, do I agree with Apple's approach regarding the new print path? NO. It appear to be an attempt to idiot proof printing using application manages color printing, although it is claimed to be necessary for 64-bit applications. I personally would prefer to use the old print path (like still available in Indesign) where all options are available in the driver regardless of what CM setting I choose in the application print dialog. But it is what it is.

HP 8500 All-in-one printer - how can I print in black and white only (to save color ink)?

I want to be able to select the option of printing in black and white only to save color ink. How can I do that?

What operating system? You can generally find an option for "Print in grayscale" and "Black ink only" in the Color or Advanced tab of the Printer Settings.
Some color ink will still be used to keep the printheads from clogging, see here for information. (The Officejet 8500 is an IIC printer in the vocabulary of that page.)

Custom color chart reference?

Is there a way to load a custom color chart to use as a reference when using the chart option in the DNG Profile Editor?
What I would like to do is shoot a color chart with Kodachrome, then shoot the chart with my D700 and create a profile for my D700 that matches the chart shot on Kodachome.

There have been discussions about this in the other Adobe forums. I tried following them, but I'm afraid I'm not technically savvy and didn't understand some of what was said. But basically, there is no way to adjust by numbers at this point.

The screen of my MacBook Pro itself periodically switches the color. That is, with the usual colors, on some blue. What to do? Should be repaired, or you can figure out the most? HELP ME PLEASE!

LambChops1,
I’m using Mavericks, and it’s still possible to select text to drag and for cutting and pasting. Left-clicking and right-clicking is still possible, too.
Try opening the Trackpad pane of System Preferences, and select the Point & Click tab. To right-click, ensure that your “Secondary click” checkbox has been checked; the small print under “Secondary click” is a dropdown menu which allows you to select the form of right-clicking that you prefer. (For instance, mine is set to “Click in bottom right corner”.) For left-clicking, is your “Tap to click” checkbox checked, or unchecked? (Mine is unchecked, since I prefer pushing for left-clicking over tapping to do so.)

Correct a jpg using Macbeth color chart?

Hi--
I shot some photos in jpg (it was all I had at the time) but I was able to include a Macbeth color chart. I'm looking to achieve accurate color, but beyond white-balancing I'm not sure how I can utilize the color information. I tried saving the jpg as a dng and creating a profile for it, but I was unable to then apply the profile because my only choice in ACR was "Embedded."
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
John

if your trying to get a color profile from your jpeg files, here's some thing you can try. if you have lightroom import the .jpeg files in there, select the photo you want and right mouse>edit in>open as smart object in photoshop. once the file is imported into photoshop double click the .jpeg smart object layer. the layer will open up in the RAW editor.
you can open the Macbeth color chart in there and get a profile setting and save it. then apply the settings to the other photos.
i know that i could have done it in lightroom but i'm still not very comfortable with the interface, i just use it to organinze and select photos. i've been editing RAW for longer than i've had lightroom so i'm more familiar with fixing it in photoshop.
not sure if this helps but it was a wonderful discovery for me when i wanted to fix some jpegs using raw mode.

CMYK color chart/color book -- any recommendations?

Hi folks,
Any recommendations for a CMYK color chart/wheel/book?
Thanks

'PMS' is obsolete, it is Pantone now, and if you say just Pantone, that is ambiguous because there are all kinds of Pantone books.
The printer is not after the cmyk breakdown, if they were, you would know that they are not colour managed.
They DO NOT require the numbers!
The way Pantone Matching works, is that the swatch (printed with certain dot sizes by a particular printer) has a particular appearance in specific circumstances:
eg: * A blueish swatch in your "Pantone coated process" book has a particular appearance
      * You choose the swatch
      * The Swatch appears in your swatch palette with a cmyk mix based on your working profile and a name defined by Pantone, NOT fixed numbers as you might have thought.
      * You output a press ready PDF to the PRINTER's nominated profile, the numbers change!
This is correct behaviour... the numbers will be different at each printer's RIP because they have fine-tuned their plate screens to output a colour that is close to the ideal appearance of the reference swatch.
If you saw the colour defined as 50 Cyan plus 20 Magenta that does not mean they see the same numbers, that is exactly the point, the numbers are irrelevant which is why you don't specify colours in CMYK terms any more. The printer might see 48 Cyan and 23 Magenta due to their using a different ink set or dot gain characteristic on their press but they will get the same visual result.
This happens because both parties (Press and Pantone) and you have looked at the same reference and calibrated their equipment to suit.
Pantone made the book, you adjusted your monitor and proofing device, the printer adjusted their press/RIP/proofer to all look alike. Each device has a colour profile that tells the next device how it saw a colour, the colour management software converts one to the other.
There..... colour management in a nutshell of infinite size. (as per Hamlet)

Pro-100: Some colors do not match monitor; some do

New to forum but have reviewed all questions that I can see for 2014 and do not see an answer. I am using Photoshop Lightroom and CS6 and the Pro-100 printer. Monitor is an NEC P221W, calibrated using SpectraSensor Pro. Printing with Canon CLI-42 ink on Canon Photo Paper Plus Glossy II. I have installed the latest XPS printer driver and am confident that I am using the printer with the proper driver. Here's the problem: I cannot get bright blues and greens to print with the same level of intensity that I see on the monitor. As a test, I printed some other photos that consist primarily of portraits, and skin tones and general color are superb. Only my effort to print a photo consisting of green leaves and bright blue flowers with the saturated color of the flowers popping off the paper does not seem to work.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You are going to need to over saturate the colors you want to exceed the rest of the colors in the photo.
Over the years I have found out a few things that seem imposswible whrn prinitng. This was true in my darkroom as well as printing digital.
One, it is impossibile to get all the colors to match a monitor. You can get several to match but not all of them.
Two, the most important adjustments of your monitor is gray-scale, contrast and brightness.
Three, Canon professional photo printers have a tendacy towards a reddish (warm tone) bias. It is built in. This is going to make over saturated greens more difficult.
Remember you are looking at and comparing light on a screen to pigmented ink on paper.

Some terminal color functions, including directory-based prompt colors

All of this code is taken from my ~/.bashrc. Note that some variables are outside of functions. It should be easy to adapt everything below to your own preferences.
This is my PS1 prompt. Note how the color variables are used.
COLOR_1="\[\e[1;37m\]"
COLOR_2="\[\e[0;37m\]"
COLOR_3="\[\e[1;34m\]"
COLOR_4="\[\e[1;30m\]"
function set_ps1()
PS1="\n${COLOR_3}┌─[${COLOR_2}\u${COLOR_3}@${COLOR_4}\h ${COLOR_2}\w${COLOR_3}]\n${COLOR_3}└─> ${COLOR_2}"
set_ps1
A while ago I wrote this function to change the color of "decorations" in the prompt. It works by changing one of the color variables. If invoked with a number it will set the corresponding color, otherwise it will choose a random color from the available palette.
_palette=$(tput colors)
function color()
NUMBER=$1
if [ -z "$NUMBER" ]; then
NUMBER=$[ ( $RANDOM % $_palette ) + 1 ]
echo "number $NUMBER"
fi
COLOR_3="\[\e[0;38;5;${NUMBER}m\]"
set_ps1
Recently, when I was playing with colors, I also wrote this function to display the 256-color palette so I could easily choose a color to pass to the function above. If you pass it an argument, it will display the palette in a wide format.
function colors()
for NUMBER in $(seq 0 15); do
printf "\e[0;38;5;${NUMBER}m%4d" $NUMBER
done
echo ""
if [ -z "$1" ]; then
for _I in $(seq 0 5); do
for _J in $(seq 0 5); do
for _K in $(seq 0 5); do
NUMBER=$((16 + $_I + 6 * $_J + 36 * $_K ))
printf "\e[0;38;5;${NUMBER}m%4d" $NUMBER
done
echo -n " "
for _K in $(seq 0 5); do
NUMBER=$((16 + 36 * $_I + $_J + 6 * $_K))
printf "\e[0;38;5;${NUMBER}m%4d" $NUMBER
done
echo -n " "
for _K in $(seq 0 5); do
NUMBER=$((16 + 6 * $_I + 36 * $_J + $_K))
printf "\e[0;38;5;${NUMBER}m%4d" $NUMBER
done
echo ""
done
echo ""
done
else
for _I in $(seq 0 5); do
for _J in $(seq 0 5); do
for _K in $(seq 0 5); do
NUMBER=$((16 + 6 * $_I + $_J + 36 * $_K))
printf "\e[0;38;5;${NUMBER}m%4d" $NUMBER
#echo -n " $_I$_J$_K"
done
echo -n " "
done
echo ""
done
echo ""
for _I in $(seq 0 5); do
for _J in $(seq 0 5); do
for _K in $(seq 0 5); do
NUMBER=$((16 + $_I + 36 * $_J + 6 * $_K))
printf "\e[0;38;5;${NUMBER}m%4d" $NUMBER
#echo -n " $_I$_J$_K"
done
echo -n " "
done
echo ""
done
echo ""
for _I in $(seq 0 5); do
for _J in $(seq 0 5); do
for _K in $(seq 0 5); do
NUMBER=$((16 + 36 * $_I + 6 * $_J + $_K))
printf "\e[0;38;5;${NUMBER}m%4d" $NUMBER
#echo -n " $_I$_J$_K"
done
echo -n " "
done
echo ""
done
echo ""
fi
for NUMBER in $(seq 232 255); do
printf "\e[0;38;5;${NUMBER}m%4d" $NUMBER
done
Even more recently, I've been using certain colors to provide visual cues about directory location that let me quickly scan open terminals to find the one I want, so I've written this function, which will change the PS1 prompt based on directory. Just add in cases as you need them and change the colors as you like (the colors below are just an example). You can use it synonymously with "cd".
function ccd()
cd $@
_dir=$(pwd)/
case $_dir in
~/projects/*)
color 202
/tmp/*)
color 49
/usr/*)
color 190
color 12
esac
Use this thread to post your own terminal color functions or variations of others that you've found here, along with feedback, discussion, etc.

I expect this to become something of a bargain bin for terminal color functions. A bit of rummaging might turn up a few gems, but most of it will be worthless crap to most.

Print Only Charts In Report

In Crystal 10, is there any way to print just the charts of a report without printing the associated and unsuppressed detail? I have a data-intensive report filled with charts, and a user wants to see the data in the report but only print the charts representing the information.
Thanks in Advance

Have a parmeter "show details"
link all the section to hide when show details = False ( apart form the chart)
then the user can do what he wants with the parameter.
