PS CS5 Image Display Differs From Used ICC Profile In Win 7

Hi,
on my Windows 7 Ultimate x64 machine, I just calibrated my Dell SP2309W monitor using an i1DisplayPro and basICColor 5, creating a ICC v2 profile (I am aware of the problems under Windows with ICC v4 profiles).
It created the ICC profile and applied it to be used by Windows. I double checked under COLOR MANAGEMENT that the new ICC profile is being used. Although I can see that the new ICC is being used (desktop appearance changes), there are a few issues I am experiencing:
(1.) Windows Photo Viewer
The thumbnails in Windpows Explorer look fine (they DO use the new ICC profile), when I double click a jpeg and open the image it DOES NOT use the new ICC profile. When I click the PLAY SLIDESHOW button (starting the slideshow) in the opened image in Windows Photo Viewer, the images DO use the new ICC profile.
(2.) Internet Browsers
All current internet browser (Firefox, IE, Safari and Chrome) DO use the new ICC profile and display the image correctly.
(3.) Photoshop CS 5
When I open the same image - that Windows Photo Viewer does not correctly displays (according to the new ICC profile) - in Photoshop CS5, I get the same image display that Windows Photo Viewer gives me (when not thumbnail or not in slideshow mode) - it appears to be the sRGB display.
My color settings in PS CS5 are: North America General Purpose 2 > sRGB IEC 61966-2.1.
When I go to View > Proof Setup > Monitor RGB I get the image display using the new ICC profile.
Why does the image look different in PS than my calibrated monitor should output ?
I was under the impression (please correct me if I am wrong), that the sole purpose for calibrating my monitor was to get a uniform display across (ICC aware) applications. Even when one applies different color spaces to a document in PS, I thought the output on my calibrated screen done by the graphic card should always be according to my calibration and the settings in the ICC profile being used.
What Am I doing wrong or what am I misunderstanding ?
Any help or input is appreciated !
Thanks.

Hello,
A note on monitor calibration: calibrating your monitor will not guarentee that every application will display color correctly, it's more of a step along the pipeline, and for the preview part of a color workflow it's the last step.  Here's how color translation follows for an ICC workflow when previewing to a monitor:
Image Color Numbers > Document Tag or Workspace Profile > Monitor Profile
For non-color managed applications, if the original document is or isn't tagged with a color profile it will be translated directly to the monitor profile anyway.  This is the equivalent in Photoshop of selecting "Monitor" in soft proofing.  Selecting monitor in softproofing will bypass the tagged or workspace profile to translate colors directly through the monitor profile.
For most automatic color managed applications (like Firefox), the image will be translated through the tagged profile and then sent through the monitor profile.  If the image is untagged or the profile is unrecognized, the colors get sent directly to the monitor profile.
For Photoshop, a tagged document will have its profile respected and then sent to the monitor.  An untagged document will be assigned the workspace profile, which acts like a temporary document profile, and then gets sent to the monitor.  This is often why users will notice Photoshop behaves differently from other applications.  It's usually a case of the workspace coming into play.  By default the workspace profile is set to sRGB.  You can change this in Edit > Color Settings.
The purpose of the workspace is originally for printing workflows, as a way of keeping consistant color translations when dealing with both tagged and untagged documents.  For web output workflows it can be useful for viewing everything through sRGB, which is typical of the average monitor output (not so with newer wide-gamut monitors, another source of confusion...) combined with the fact that originally most web browsers were not color managed.  Hence viewing everything through sRGB is pretty close to what most monitors see and what untagged/unmanaged docs will look like.
Monitor calibration is useful only because it brings your monitor output to a "known state".  In traditional workflows the monitor was always a middle-man, a preview device which was useful for getting an idea of what the printed output would look like before you print it.  Since print colorspaces are often smaller than display spaces, it's feasible and useful to narrow down the monitor/display space and calibrate it to a known state, so that even if it doesn't totally match the print, you'll get used to its differences/limitations and they'll be consistent so long as the calibration is maintained.
For web output, your final output is often another user's computer monitor, which can have any form of behavior (most standard monitors are pretty close to sRGB, or use sRGB as an operating system workspace (default monitor profile).  Wide gamuts behave differently, but I'm not sure if there's a particular ICC space that they closely match, or if different wide-gamuts are even that close to each other in their display color spaces.
Hope this helps!

  • Printing from InDesign Using ICC Profiles

    Hello,
    I'm trying to find the best way to print from InDesign to my Epson R2400. I'm a graphic design student, with a background in Photography. When printing images from photoshop, I always use the proper paper profile for the inkjet paper I'm using and I get spot-on results. My monitor is profiled, and I have a decent knowledge of color management.
    When I print from InDesign, I achieve the best results using the Adobe RGB1998 output profile in the print dialogue. This produces fair results, but not as accurate as I get when printing images from photoshop using the appropriate paper profile. When I use a paper profile from InDesign (i.e. Epson SP2400 Enhanced Matte), the results are flat and washed out. I've tried opening the print driver dialog (via the "printer" button) and making sure that color management is turned "off" to avoid double-profiling, but this does not fix the problem. I've also tried checking the "print as bitmap" box in the InDesign print dialogue, but this only makes things worse.
    Can anyone tell me why I can't print with an appropriate paper/profile via InDesign? I'm usign CS3, with a Macbook Pro, running Leopard. Epson R2400 with Epson Inks, Epson paper and matching Epson ICC Profiles.
    Thank You.

    It is the monitor profile. Change profiles and you will see a different output each time.
    The condition of the monitor can in no way affect the output, but as soon as you re-profile a change in the monitor settings the new profile will affect the output.
    In theory if you can hardware calibrate the monitor and not create a new profile (what software might allow this?) there would be no changes to the print but what about what you see on the screen?
    Of course this is all based on you creating a ID specific paper profile.

  • Saved image displays differently outside Photoshop

    When I save an image I've been working on in Photoshop, then open the saved file outside Photoshop, the image looks quite different than it does inside Photoshop, much drabber and less saturated. I have both Photoshop and the display program set to sRGB.  I figure that I should have consistency within the monitor, whether it's calibrated or not.  I'm sure I'm missing something basic here.  I'd appreciate any help here, because my prints wind up drab, too.  Many thanks!

    I overlooked one switch in the Save dialog.  Now the images display correctly.
    Can you be more specific, please?
    Were you saving images without a color profile before, and some application(s) in your system were displaying them improperly?
    Problem is, in that case one wouldn't really expect to see the kind of difference you describe unless your document profile really wasn't sRGB IEC61966-2.1.
    Is it possible you're editing your images in the Adobe RGB 1998 color space?  That could happen if you're opening images through Camera Raw, as the color space it's set to deliver is configured separately (via the link at the bottom-center of the Camera Raw dialog) from the Photoshop defaults.
    By the way, if you don't already know, you can easily set the status block in the lower-left of the Photoshop window to show you the color space of your current document:

  • File displaying different from Photoshop to Illustrator

    I have a simple chalkboard background I made in Photoshop and I'm importing into Illustrator. My issue is the file displays completely different from Photoshop to Illustrator. See image below.
    I've had this happen to other files but this one is so incredibly different, I can't understand what's happening and I can't manage the design with it being this different. Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance for your help!
    Rachel

    Thanks again Monika. I can't figure this out. The color management is all synchronized among all my Adobe applications. Yes the file is in layers and when I view the JPG in Photoshop, it looks as it should. It's only when I bring it into Illustrator does it look like that. I opened up a new Illustrator doc and placed the same JPG (as well as dragged the PSD file directly from the Photoshop window into Illustrator) and it looks better and more like it should. My other doc was a new doc too so I'm not sure what happened. At any rate, I can't explain what happened and I'm just hoping it doesn't happen again.
    Thanks for your help!

  • Images displaying differently in Library view to Develop - also affecting Exports

    I've run in to a strange problem since the 4.1 upgrade.
    When displayed in the Library view, images are not appearing correctly.  In my case, there is a huge amount more noise in the Library view compared to the Develop view.  This is also affecting Exports.
    I have been unable to find any answers online, and only found one other case of this reported via a You Tube video.
    Any ideas?!
    Many thanks
    Rick

    I am assuming you have a correctly calibrated monitor calibrated using a hardware calibrator. Lightroom sometimes shows the aforementioned problems with canned monitor profiles on windows machines. Now that out of the way:
    I am also having this problem - the library view is closer to the printer output - very frustrating! In dev mode the image is lighter - sometimes appears to be too hot, but in library and during print it is just right. This was not a problem in 3 - what's the fix?
    Have you tried seeing what happens when you soft proof for the paper profile in the Develop module?
    It seem the fit views do not match up...the confusion comes in that it seems the fill views sometimes do, and sometimes do not match. when the images appear different, I've the sense in dev the images are brighter and hotter.
    This can happen if your image is very noisy or has a lot of high frequency detail. The sharpening preview in fit view that is applied in Develop tends to brighten images with lots of noise or detail. It also happens when you are applying a lot of color noise reduction and have a lot of colored detail. SInce Lightroom cannot really show you the result of this correctly but for when looking at 1:1, this results in the Fit preview showing more color saturation than there really is.

  • Image Displays Differently in PS and Br CS4

    I have a gs tif file that I converted to cmyk. In PS the cmyk version looks virtually identical on screen to the gs version although when you hold the eyedropper over the image, cyan displays as a higher percentage than m or y, with k lowest in both the cmyk conversion and the grayscale original...what do I have set wrong!  In Bridge the cmyk version clearly shows a cyan cast.
    Color settings are synchronized in CS4.
    Can anyone tell me why: 1, the images are displaying differently, and, 2. using Convert To Profile, cymk, Working CMYK US Sheetfed Coated v2, image appears to have a distince cyan cast? And why, for that matter, is the GS image showing uneven cmyk percentages?
    Thanks in advance
    J

    the images are displaying differently
    Have you proofing enabled in both of them? Even if the profiles match otehrwise, that option still has to be toggled.
    image appears to have a distince cyan cast?
    Well, if you print CMYK, you want "rich black", which means that it needs to be underprinted with another color to not look like a dull gray. Only spot black/ text black does not require that. That's not the point here, though. It's really due to the conversion being done wrong. If you really want to retain the blacks as a pure channel, use the method described. Also, if you can, in the future simply start out in CMYK to avoid these issues.

  • Does Closed Captioning display differently from one Player/TV to another?

    Hi Everyone,
    We just completed our first project at our facility that involved Closed Captioning from an .SCC file produced by CPC and when we preview a DVD Test of the project, the captions are not displaying as expected. We received a VHS preview copy which display the captions fine, but when we look at the DVD Test in the Apple DVD Player, the captions are not justified in a consistant manner, and sometimes a couple appear as if they were haphazardly placed on the screen.
    Is possible that Captioning as how it is interpreted/displayed might vary from one TV or DVD Player to another?
    Any help or comments would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance, everyone.
    Regards,
    -James-

    UPDATE:
    So far I've tested the DVD created with Closed Captions from the *.scc file, and my findings are that the PC software I've tested in closely match that of the VHS open-caption dub that the captioning company provided us. I have tried the VLC Player on the Mac, but have not had success in enabling the captions, nor been able to find any posts on the VLC support forum.
    I've also been successful at finding and testing a DVD Player that can display the captions on the DVD, and find that they play similarly to that on both the VHS open-caption an PC Playback, but the position on the screen is slightly different.
    Does anyone have any other experience with Closed Captioning that could either offer insight to the working theory that each TV/DVD Player/Computer DVD Software platform interprets closed captions differently from one another?
    Regards and thanks in advance,

  • Images displayed differently in Firefox

    I have a Dreamweaver page that displays normally in IE. But when I open it in firefox, one of the elements is displayed differently. Specifically, I have some social media icons that are supposed to be displayed horizontally, and they are in IE. But when I open the same page in Firefox, it displays those same icons vertically. How can I correct that? Thanks.

  • Washed out colors with Canon Pro9000 using ICC profiles

    I recently bought a brand new Canon Pro9000 printer and have a problem getting acceptable results when using the supplied ICC profiles.
    I believe I am doing everything by the book. First I select the correct ICC profile for the printer and the paper I am using in the Aperture print dialog, then I go into Print Setting and set the paper type in the Quality and Media section, as well as matching the print quality to the ICC profile.
    The Canon driver I use (10.1.0.0) does not provide the option of explicitly turning off color management in the printer. If a choose a profile from the Aperture printing dialog and then go into "Printer Setting > Color Options" the Color Mode drop down menu is grayed out. After searching trough various discussion forums I can see that some people claim that color management is automatically turned off when selecting a profile, but I have not been able to get a confirmation on this.
    The resulting print is quite disappointing, it is very bright and with washed out colors. I have tried quite a few different papers, including semi gloss and photo rag - all original Canon papers (of course using the matching profiles).
    Using the default "System Managed" option on the Color Sync drop down menu produces great looking prints that very closely matches what I see on my display. My only take on them is that they are very slightly over saturated.
    When I enable on screen proofing with the matching profile, I can see that the picture gets slightly brighter, but way less that what I get on the prints.
    I have calibrated my display according to the suggestions from Bagelturf (http://www.bagelturf.com/files/694c5a88c7241f8f04c7cff33cde8e3e-560.php), which is in line with Apple´s recommendations in the Aperture documentation.
    I have read trough discussion on similar problems, both here ("more color nasties" and "Printing problem since upgrading to Aperture 2") and at dpreview, but I have not been able to figure out this problem yet.
    System configuration:
    - MacBook Pro 2.4GHz
    - Leopard 10.5.2
    - Aperture 2.1
    - Panasonic DMC-L1 camera (shooting RAW)
    - Canon Pro9000
    - Canon driver 10.1.0.0 (CUPS)
    Any suggestions?
    Regards,
    Thomas
    Sorry for posting this under the "Book" forum - mistake from my side

    Hi Thomas,
    With my iP8500 I leave it on, so it appears to be specifically the behavior of the Pro9000. I did a little more testing last night as I recently re-calibrated my system, and have another method you can try. Instead of turning off "Black Point Compensation" which can leave photos with lots of shadow detail a bit too dark, open up the "Printer Settings" window and go to the color management options. The only thing you can change here is the brightness setting. Change it from Normal to Dark, leaving BPC turned on. I think you'll be pleased with the results. Good luck!

    Briefly: Mac Pro running Snow Leopard. Upgraded from CS4 to CS5 and my existing, custom icc profiles appear but are unavailable (grayed out)
    The profiles are in the usual places: /Library/ColorSync/Profiles
    AND /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Profiles.
    I'm the only user and I have Admin privileges.
    CS4 still seems to be connected and using my needed profiles.
    Bridge, Illustrator and InDesign, either don't see the profile or it is grayed out.
    Photoshop sees the profile and allows me to use it as my Ps default.
    Any thoughts as to where else to place the profile or how to get Bridge to see it (and therefore sync the other products)?

    Mac OS 10.8.4 is still in beta. You need to be reporting this to Apple.
    What happens if you move these profiles to the Adobe/Profiles folder, or the users/Library/Colorsync/Profiles folder?
    There has been a lot of discussion of this on many forums with no solution.
    What forums? A google search turns up nothing but this thread.
    I have not seen this problem with the released versions of 10.8.

  • Cs5.5 - OSX 10.7 CMYK ICC Profile not visible?

    Hi
    Hoping someone can help here.
    IT department have installed a new Macpro into our prepress/design area using OSX 10.7 Lion with CS5.5 and now we are not able to use/see any of the custom CMYK ICC profile we use for printers - laser or epson wide format inkjet on any of the CS5 apps.  Prior to the new mac we had no issues as we were using 10.6.8 and CS4.  I have read through many forums and release notes regarding issues with Lion and CS5 but haven't found any reference to Custom ICC Profile issues.
    The ICC profile we urgently need is for our Epson 7800 using custom stock for proofing - specifically supplied for our color management to output to Forgra39 standard.
    Had a specialist come in and he's baffled as well. 
    Any help with this would be MOST appreciated.
    Thanks Mike

    The ICC profiles are not visible to Applications as Output profiles i.e. Printer profiles.  We have double checked the paths and they are correct and the profiles are installed.  but they do not show up in Indesign, illustrator etc as a printer profile... In fact no cmyk profiles (even those supplied from Adobe i.e fogra39.icc) show up.   When we open up colorsync we can see them but when we try any application to output to a cmyk print (laser or inkjet) the cmyk profiles are not visible.
    any help much appreciated in advance
    cheers Mike

  • HT204135 Printing using ICC profiles

    I have an Epson R2000, and am using Hahnemuhle paper. Have downloaded various ICC profiles and can see to nominate a specific profile with the chosen printer (R2000). After  pressing  "print",  the screen asks what preset I want to use. When I use the show details to see what is in the profiles they are all the same, and none show that I want to use a Hahnemuhle ICC. So how do I set up a new preset?. How in any case can I be sure the printer is in fact using the ICC profile nominated? Thanks for any tips.

    Hi
    I'm new to Macs and also have a Pixma Pro 9000. When I used to use it with Photoshop CS2 on a PC I got used to turning off color management in the driver, but as you point out, this isn't an option in the Canon OS X driver.
    What I have noticed, though, is when I select "photoshop manages color" in the Mac Photoshop CS3 Print dialog box, then delve into the Canon driver settings, Color Matching drop-down menu, although the options are greyed-out, ColorSync is the selected option.
    Then, if I specify "printer manages color" in the Photoshop Print dialog box, when I go to the Canon driver Color Matching drop-down, though still greyed-out, it now has "vendor matching" selected.
    This suggests to me that, in fact, the equivalent to the "do not color manage" option in the Windows Canon driver is "ColorSync" in the Mac driver. Maybe there is better communication between Photoshop and the Canon driver on the Mac than in Windows, so when you tell Photoshop (Mac) to control the color management it automatically sets the driver to the correct setting? This is all speculation, as I'm still new to the Mac way of doing things, but maybe try it and see what the results look like? (I usually use the Canon Easy Photo Print Pro plug-in anyway, but it would be nice to be able to control printing manually as well in specific circumstances)

  • Are PS CS5 shortcut keys different from those used in PS CS4?

    Hi,
    I was just wondering how much different the shortcut keys used with the new  PhotoShop CS5 will be from those used with CS4?

    All the usual ones are in the same place as they have always been.

  • Dynamic Image Displays Blank When Using In Visual Studio Project

    I am trying to simply display a dynamic image in a report. I am using Crystal Reports XI Release 2.
    I have two different environments: Local via Progress where reports are called using Crystal Viewer ActiveX, and over the web where reports are called from Open Laszlo and Visual Studio project.
    The image is set to a blank image as default, and Graphic Location Forumla loads the image from the database (site.logo_location + site.logo_filename) which results in an image http:
    www.vetinfo3.com\a.jpg.
    When I run the reports locally using the ActiveX control, it works just fine and displays the image.
    When I run over the web using OpenLaszlo, it displays a blank.
    Troubleshooting
    We are using Visual Studio 2005, which is bundled with an older version of Crystal that doesn't support dynamic images.
    To address this, I loaded Crystal XI Release 2, which updated the version in Visual Studio and enabled the Graphic Location formula field on the dev machine.
    I verified the Graphic Location field was set correctly.
    This caused a Version error, so we loaded cr_net_2005_mm_mlb_x86.zip on server and specified the Version in web.Config.
    No errors now, but when I build and publish the code, the image still displays as blank.
                From Fiddler
                   GET http://www.vetinfo3.com/mdsol1/CrystalImageHandler.aspx?dynamicimage=cr_tmp_image_c5d6a923-293b-4f1e-8739-4e698f83b087.png
                   Creates C:\Documents and Settings\Curtis\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\PWRUX2XW\CrystalImageHandler[1].png
                   Blank Image
    According to issues within Visual Studio, they say the fix to this is to add the <httpHandler> in web.Config, but it is already there; added when we add the viewer to the project:
    In web.Config I have some questions about this line:
        <httpHandlers>
          <add verb="GET" path="CrystalImageHandler.aspx" type="CrystalDecisions.Web.CrystalImageHandler, CrystalDecisions.Web, Version=11.5.3700.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304"/>
        </httpHandlers>
    There are more service packs for Crystal XI Release 2:
    crXIr2sp2_net_server_install.zip
    crXIr2sp3_net_server_install.zip
    crXIr2sp4_net_server_install.zip
    I have not loaded these yet, but the readme files do not indicate they fix any dynamic image issues.
    I am out of ideas on this; does anyone have any ideas?

    What about if you take OpenLaszlo out of the picture? E.g.; use one of our samples from here;
    https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/CrystalReportsfor.NETSDK+Samples
    I'd recommend vbnet_web_simplepreviewreport
    Also, see [this|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/a0437ea8-97d2-2b10-2795-c202a76a5e80] article.
