Setting color Profile in PSE8

In setting the color profile for pictures to be exported to FCS3 for HDTV it is recommended to use color profile HDTV (rec. 709).  This setting is not available.
For SD a color profile of sRGB is recommended, which is available Image > Convert Color Profile > convert sRGB.
Is there a way to set the proper color profile for HDTV?
Thank you
Kent

Elements is very limited in its ability to convert to different colour spaces.  Basically it only offers you a choice of AdobeRGB or sRGB.
There is a free profile conversion program from here....  http://www.drycreekphoto.com/tools/profile_converter/
You'll need to get the profile you need which I think is available here.... http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4074
Although it says MAC OS you should be able to just unzip the file and put the appropriate profile in the correct folder for your system.

  • How to set color profile when exporting a RAW file version as a JPEG?

    I import my raw files to Aperture and when exporting as a JPEG I want to specify a color profile of sRBG. I cannot see how to set the color profile for the export. Does anyone know how to do this?

    When you go to export versions, edit the presets, and there is a drop down box that lets you select the profile.
    I'd suggest picking up the Aperture book by Luna, Long, and Harrington. Lots of great info there.

  • Is monitor calibration the same as setting color profile in System Preferences Monitor Color?

    I understand monitor calibration using something llike X-Rite or Gretag, but what about the sRGB/Adobe RGB/Generic thing in System preferences>Monitor>Color? Is the latter for printing purposes? What should I select when doing post processing on Adobe Lightroom or Photoshop Elements?

    Yes your Display Profile will slightly affect your finished product, but if that RGB profile is working for you then don't try and fix it. However if you do professional or semi professional work, then you might want to consider using professional calibration tools to calibrate your display.

  • 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. 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?

  • PS CC 2014 stopped to respect the setting to preserve embedded color profile, why?

    My normal workspace is Prophoto RGB. I, however, has a large number of tiff files (dias'es scanned with a Nikon scanner) with the color space sRGB. Up till recently I had no problems - all the files kept their embedded color profile when opened in PS. I Even have the  checkbox that tell PS to ask if there  is a mismatch checked on. PS does not ask used to do so). This has happened after my last update of PS from PS CC to PS CC 2014. I have deinstalled Ligthroom to see if synchronization migth cause this. That did not help.
    Please help.

    Sorry, I do not hope that I have got something fundamentally wrong. I hope not! Otherwise  please correct me!
    All my own files start out as Nefs and are from Bridge brougth through ACR and on in PS as Prophoto RGB 16 bit files.
    Since I also work with files that are not my own Raw files as the scanned Tiffs (scans of my 50 years old slides  - scanned by somebody else on a  Nikon Super Coolscan 9000 ED), Tiffs from other people or even JPEGs, I have set PS to preserve embedded color spaces and to alert me if there isn't a match between my workspace (the Prophoto RGB) and an allready embedded color space. This because I did not think it advisable to change to Prophoto RGB from Adobe RGB orsRGB as the extra colors in Prophoto RGB never were present in the Adobe RGB or sRGB files and therefore could not be "conjured" up. I, however, got the impression that 16 bit would still be an advantage when editing.
    I like to start any one-layered file in ACR before entering it into PS and do not want to change that. Up till now PS nicely warned me of color space mismatches but not with these scanned files. So my present worry is if the color space of the files from the Nikon scan may be changed from a smaller to a larger space (which would not be a good idea, or?) when going into PS.  I speak only of files that enter PS from ACR with  ACR workflow settings of Prophoto RGB 16 bit and with the color settings of PS as described above.
    As I wrote earlier today, I am beginning to think that these files do not have a color space assigned until they get into my software but I do not know enough of the Nikon Scanner to be sure. If so everything is OK and PS functions perfectly.
    As written above Bridge shows the scanned Tiffs  to have the Nikon sRGB 4.0.0.3001 as color profile but below in Camera Data (Exif) it says "Exif color Space: Uncalibrated".
    Does anybody know if these files in realty does have an embedded color Space before entering the software outside of the scanner?
    I hope my English is understandable! Please forgive the 73 year old grandmother if she has got it all wrong!

  • Setting up ICC Color Profiles in Adobe Illustrator 8.0

    Yeah I know it's embarrassing. 8.0.
    I've looked around on the internet, I have found tutorials but they all involve fancy-pansy equipment that only a huge ad agency could afford, and there are no local color adjusting professionals in my area. The closest one would cost me as much as buying the equipment myself!
    I'm using CMYK inkjet printing most of the time, I just do small projects like flyers, small promo pieces, and I have IC's out with a couple of larger graphics companies to provide support during their busy season, but I had to print a small run of 10 pieces on waterproof vinyl and that meant sending to a small local copy shop that uses Corel Draw. He's the one that told me my color profiles were not set, and had to ask me what color it was meant to be. Luckily it was all 1 color that time. I'm starting to see more work requests involving waterproof vinyl, so I need to get this set up.

    Add a shortcut to the desired folder in the default folder. There is no setting of the default in Acrobat, though some day it may happen.

  • Color Profiles even when Profile set as Default keep switching - G570

    I recently had to calibrate the G570 monitor. The default profile for Lenovo is too blue and for office work this may not be a problem. However, it's an issue when drawing and illustrating.
    For example, the image imbedded in this thread http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=232287
    Shows someone having issues with color management because the Samsung profile is too yellow, and yet their display shows whites (ie in the layers palette, OS etc...)
    If you look through the default Lenovo or Thinkpad calibration, your monitor is too blue to tell the difference between the hues. I calibrated mine with a Spyder Express.
    Now on to the problem. Even though I have it on as default to be loaded in Color Management in Windows 7, it appears to keep flickering off and on between the default profile that comes with Lenovo laptops and the Calibrated profile with Spyder express.
    Even in the Advanced settings in Color Management and setting the default as the Spyder icm profile, I still get the flickering when it comes out of sleep/monitor turned off etc.
    Is there a way to keep it consistently on?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    The link I provided before is the solution.
    If you have a custom color profile for color management, you need to disable igfxpers.exe from dominating it.
    I disabled it in the Startup Services, and ended the process in the Task Manager. My monitor now stays at the profile I calibrated it for.
    This is a problem with Intel's software and not Lenovo.

  • Color Profile Setting question

    Hi! I am new to the forum and have a strange question. I shoot with a Canon 40 in Adobe rgb color space. I import all the images into lightroom and sometimes I edit in PS (CS4). When I choose "edit in PS4" from lightroom, the color profile is Pro Photo and not adobe RGB.
    My question is: can I set up PS to automatically convert any profile to Adobe RGB? I thought I did in edit/color spaces but tried it and it's back to pro photo colorspace again.
    Help?

    Check your Color Settings in Photoshop and select "Ask when opening" in your RGB settings.  It could be that ProPhoto RGB is setup as your Photoshop RGB workspace, but I think you can change it to Adobe RGB there.  You might also be able to set it in Bridge as your default RGB colorspace.  I like the option of using "Ask when opening" in case I want to use ProPhoto on certain types of files and Adobe RGB on others.

  • Picture color profile in Lightroom vs Photoshop CS2 editing

    Hi all, I hope someone can solve this for me.
    When I'm viewing picture in Light room, all my pictures are a bit warmer ( have a yellowish tint to them ) compared to when I view them in Photoshop CS2. The same is true if I view them in other programs. This is true for all my picture file type (jpg, tif or raw). I get the feeling that it's Light room that in the wrong in how it displays the picture and not the other programs. Using the warms tool to make the picture a bit colder, only adds a bluish tint to the image which isn't even close to what it looks like (unedited) in Photoshop.
    I get the feeling that Lightroom does something to the picture, or uses some sort of color profile, driver that other programs don't use.
    Is there a way of changing this?

    >When I purchase these ADOBE products I expect them to JUST WORK!!!!!
    Unfortunately, when Microsoft, Dell and others enter the fray it's no longer up to just the Adobe folks. Differences between Photoshop and Lightroom are almost always due to a corrupt monitor profile. Adobe has nothing to do with that.
    >I dont wanna have to be worried about corrupt profiles yada yada yada!!!
    I just want to be able to do my color correction and exposure corrections in Lightroom export as a High Res Jpeg and then do the remainder of my work in Photoshop and have them both look the same.
    If your screen is correctly calibrated that will be the case. Unfortunately if you want to do color sensitive work on a computer with a typical monitor, you have to have a rudimentary understanding of profiles and color management. There is unfortunately no way around it. This is no different from traditional color photography where you have to understand what different film, different filters and different development do to your colors. The terminology is just different.
    >How do I fix this and please go through it STEP BY STEP BY STEP!!!!
    I am not one for the computer lingo....
    OK. I'll assume first that you have no hardware calibrator and that you are on windows:
    1. Make sure your Photoshop color settings are set up to respect embedded profiles. See the
    first screenshot in this post(ignore everything else as it is no longer relevant in LR 2).
    2. Open your monitor's properties panel, click on advanced and go to the color management tab. Delete any profile you see there. This is the culprit. Probably a bad profile got installed in some driver update for your graphics card or your monitor.
    3. Restart Lightroom and Photoshop and that's it! You'll have corresponding colors. You are however, cheating yourself as your monitor is completely uncalibrated. This is how 99% of computer users run their monitors.
    So here is what you should be doing if you care about your color and matching to print and making sure that others see the same colors. Even though hardly anybody calibrates, the only way to get a good average correspondence is to calibrate your monitor and use color managed apps. This sequence is valid for both macs and PCs
    1. Do as above step one and make sure Photoshop is set up correctly and then go out and buy a hardware calibrator (or order online). They can be had for <$100 for pretty good ones. Look for example for Spyder2 and Huey Pro.
    2. Calibrate your screen following the instructions from the software
    3. Restart Lightroom and Photoshop. Now you'll have identical but correct color.
    If you have a mac, you can cheat slightly and use http://www.computer-darkroom.com/colorsync-display/colorsync_1.htm instead of hardware calibration. You cannot expect very good correspondence between monitor and prints though with that method.

  • Color profiling and calibration in MacBook Pro

    I work a lot in Photoshop with sRGB color space. Should I have this color profile set for my Mac display then (or which setting is recommended)?
    Does the calibration in Mac replace an external calibration device functionality such as using e.g. Spyder4Pro?

  • Embedded Color Profile is Lost When Content is Published to Web or Dragging Image Window on Desktop

    Hello, Everyone.  I have a question that I have struggled to crack on my own to no avail.  I hope someone here can help.
    I am trying to publish some images to the web using color corrected monitors, RAW format, and a color checker passport to create a perfeect color profile.  Here are the technical details and my workflow.
    Camera: Canon Rebel EOS Xsi
    Format: RAW + L
    Color Space: sRGB
    Color Checker: X-Rite ColorChecker Passport
    Monitor Calibrator: Spyder4 Pro, fully updated software
    Computer: Lenovo T420 ThinkPad
    Second monitor: Samsung LED SyncMaster SA350 (NVIDIA)
    Photoshop: v12.1 x64 (CS5.5)
    Photoshop Color Settings: Custom North America Web/Internet
    RGB: sRGB IEC61966-2.1
    CMYK: U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2
    Gray: Gray GAmma 2.2
    Spot: Dot Grain 20%
    Policies
    RGB: Preserve Embedded Profiles
    CMYK: Preserve Embedded Profiles
    Gray: Preserve Embedded Profiles
    After importing the image into Photoshop, I make sure the RAW space is set to sRGB IEC6 1966-2.1
    Use the eyedropper to select a neutral color one step away from pure white on the RAW image of the color checker, create and set the custom white balance.
    set the white balance
    Export the image as a DNG
    Load the DNG into the X-Rite ColorChecker Passport software to create a color profile
    Back to Photoshop
    Open the RAW file
    Set the white balance to the custom profile created above
    Set the color profile created with X-Rite
    Open the color-corrected image in Photoshop (see color setting above)
    Save as JPEG
    Publish
    First, everything seems to go great throughout this entire process, until I see the image on the Web: LINK.  Once published, the image has a very noticible golden-yellow tint to it.  The color-corrected image looks great on both color-calibrated monitors, in RAW and JPEG.  Absolutely perfect.  After noticing the ugly yellow tint in the image I posted to the Web, however, I became aware of a couple more weird things.
    1) When the JPEG was open in Photoshop and I moved the window that contained the image around on my second monitor, the image immediately took on that golden-yellow tint: you can see a screen shot of the color corrected image on my Samsung (bottom) and the yellow version of the same image created when I drag the window around on the Samsung (top) HERE.
    2) When opening the X-Rite software, I got a warning saying that the laptop monitor had been calibrated, but that the Samsung had not.  I got this error even if I calibrated the Samsung monitor right before using X-Rite.  Also, the monitor is definitely calibrated, because the images look great, and the colors match what I see on the laptop.
    3) Recently, I noticed that when waking my computer from sleep, the Samsung monitor no longer holds its Datacolor (Spyder4) calibration.
    I thought the problem I was having might be due to the monitor, for the reasons stated above.  However, I later noticed that when I open the color-corrected JPEG with the default Windows image viewer, it retains the color correction settings.  The image looks fantastic, and doesn't lose it's color profile when I drag the window around.  Also, there seems to be less color loss in the Word documents and PDFs I included this image in: LINK.
    I checked this with several more images, and the results are the exact same.  I scoured the Web as best I could, but my problem seems to be pretty unique.  Does anyone have an idea what might be causing this?
    Thank you!

    Thank you, twenty_one, for taking the time to read my post and put up a reply.  I am going to rebuild my question and post it again here.  But first, to answer some of your points:
    1. A raw file has no color space, until it's opened into one in the raw converter. So this is controlled in ACR, not the camera.
    I just wanted to be as thorough as possible.  One of the steps I took was to set the Color Space setting in my camera to sRGB:
    2. White balance has no bearing whatsoever on camera profiles. A profile is not for white balancing, it's to account for the spectral distribution of the light, which is something else. You make the profile and assign it in ACR, then you white balance for processing. 
    I know.  I wasn't talking about white balance in my camera.  I set the white balance here:
    I grabbed the color for setting the WB here:
    3. If you get a message about monitor calibration upon opening the camera calibration software, something is seriously confused. The two have nothing to do with each other. No relation whatsoever. 
    Camera calibration software?
    4. A corrupted monitor profile will only show up in Photoshop and other color managed software. Other applications that are not color managed will not use the profile and are not affected. So find out which apps are and which aren't before drawing any conclusions.
    Agreed.  That's partly what I am trying to get help with.
    5. Your links don't work, and in any case clicking on links is something most people including myself dislike. It's much better to insert screenshots in the post, by using the camera icon in the reply box.
    I'm new to this forum, so this is helpful to know.  This image shows the color-corrected image (bottom) on my Samsung.  It looks exactly the same in the same window on my laptop monitor.  When I move that window around on my Samsung screen, it turns gold (top).  The image, when posted to the web, looks *similar* to that gold color.
    So let's say I only use Photoshop on my laptop, which is not displaying any colors.  Do you think the golden hue problem will go away?

  • Color profiles do not stay synchronized across all applications in CS6

    I've recently uopgraded my system to Maverick.   Using Adobe CS6 Suite. It seems as of late when selecting a color profile for the creative suite, the application does not keep the color setting.  They say synchronized but when reopening to check again, it says unsynchronized.
    Also, When making a PDF from InDesign, Illustrator or Photoshop, the colors look dead and darker in the PDF.  Again, the Acrobat color prefs say "unsynchronized".  If I go to Bridge and re-apply the profile, all is fine, but on reopening the color prefs in Acrobat they are back to "unsynchronized".  This also happens in InDesign and Illustrator.
    All this an more.  I work with a client who is the inhouse graphics manager.  We run the same software and the same profiles, yet the same color files look different on his computer than on mine.
    Can someone shed  some light on this issue.  Been doing this many years and have not had this problem.

    Not all that familiar with Color sync but bridge should be acting as the central and when you have selected the correct color profile in Bridge CS6 under the menu edit / color settings all CS6 applications should have this profile / setting show.
    In your case I would start to reset preferences for Bridge with holding down option key while starting Bridge and from the menu choose reset preferences.
    Maybe even do this with al other CS applications if only bridge does not help.
    And this is no help to you but I'm still not on Mavericks but if I make the switch I don't use the option for upgrade but make a day free to install everything from scratch. For normal use with a few apps it might not be important to do so but with a lot of apps and daily use in a professional workflow I always go for security versus speed

  • Exported Raw Conversion Image Resolution and Assigning a Color Profile, etc

    In Aperture 1.1, although I set the exported Raw conversion image resolution to 300 dpi in the preferences, it continues to come out at 72 dpi which is something of an inconvenience. Also, is it possible to assign a color profile to the "exported version" so that it is congruent to my PS CS2 color workspace (if that is what its called). Is this program capable of carrying out a conversion as a background operation? Finally, can the layout windows be configured so that they remember how they have been used in the past? Thanks.

    Iatrogenic huh! Cool!
    Anyway, I'm not real clear on what it is you are trying to accomplish. Despite your obvious vocabulary skills, there seems to be some disconnect relative to what you are trying to accomplish. You are right that "exporting a version" in Aperture is roughly equivalent to what happens in ACR when you "Open" a RAW image into Photoshop. In both cases you have, hopefully, already done the adjusting of parameters you want prior to "exporting", or "opening". When you "open" or "export" you wind up with an "image" composed of pixels, whereas in the RAW adjustment phase you are just working with a temporary thumbnail and a set of mathematical instructions. Big difference, I suppose is that when you "open" and image from ACR into CS2, the resulting image is truly just pixels and has not had a "file type" applied to the file yet, until you "save" it, while in Aperture, if you "export" a file to CS2, or to the desktop, you end up with the file type already applied. Presuming you "export" a 16 bit TIFF or PSD, there is no operational difference.
    I could be wrong, but with the new Bayer Demosaicing algorithms in Aperture 1.1, and the Camera RAW adjustments, you should be able to come up with an adjusted image that is VERY close if not identical to one done in ACR, with the possible exception of lens abberation adjustment. I was very critical of the RAW adjustments in 1.0.1, but I am very happy with the capabilites in 1.1. That said, I think there is still some room for improvement in user friendliness of some of the adjustments such as Levels.

  • Bad ramifications of color profile used in previews

    It seems that Aperture's choice of color profile for its previews has some rather wide implications. In a RAW workflow, previews are assigned an Adobe RGB profile. In a JPG workflow, previews aren't generated at all at first (which makes sense - no need to create a JPG from a JPG), but they are created once you edit a photo. Then once again, the preview is assigned an Adobe RGB profile, irrespective of the color profile of the original photo. This all kind of makes sense. Presumably, Adobe RGB is the same as, or close to, the color profile Aperure uses internally.
    The problem comes when photos are "shared". With the Aperture preference set to "Share previews with iLife and iWork", Aperture generates an XML file that can be used by external programs. This XML file points the external program at the previews (or the original in the case of an unedited JPG). Then photos can be picked up in various places:
    * In mail.app via the Photo Browser.
    * In any app via the Media section in Finder.
    * On an Apple TV via the "Choose photos to share" option in iTunes.
    BUT - all these photos (with the exception of an unedited JPG) will ALWAYS have an Adobe RGB profile. This is generally not good, since the photos will display badly in any app that isn't color managed. Unfortunately, this seems to apply to Apple TV. Photos there have the typically subdued look of Adobe RGB when not color managed. The situation actually gets worse with JPGs. An unedited JPG which originally had an sRGB profile will display fine, but as soon as you edit that photo in Aperture, it willl display badly because now iTunes/Apple TV is working with an Adobe RGB profile. I've done tests and it's painfully obvious.
    Anyone else come across this? I'm not sure what can be done. Maybe having an option to generate proviews using sRGB would be good, but that might involve too much processing in Aperture when it's continually generating previews as you edit.
    Thoughts appreciated!

    The export settings don't have any effect on the problem, unfortunately. What preference are you referring to? Do you mean the Import "tab" in Aperture prefs? That just governs what Aperture uses for its initial preview. it will now, by default, use the preview that is embedded in every RAW file to speed up processing. As soon as you look at the photo, even without editing it, it will then generate its own JPG preview (with Adobe RGB profile).
    I haven't received any other feedback about this problem anywhere, which is surprising to me. I think I can only post the problem through Apple feedback, and hope for the best. It seems that, in the meantime, the only course of action is to export everything you need to display properly on an AppleTV, and re-import those JPGs into Aperture (or iPhoto) so they can be displayed via iTunes. A royal pain!

  • Acrobat 9 Pro color profiles?

    here is my situation:
    I create multipage mockups in Illustrator (all of my Adobe software is Creative Suite 5 Design Premium running on Win7 32bit [I wish it was 64, but printers don't like it so.. yeah]) and after creating them , i then save them to a modifed PDF Preset PDF file.
    My problem is this: All of my color profiles are synched via Bridge for uniformity. I know this doesn't apply to Acrobat (though it should, and if it does it doesn't say it anywhere that i've found). The original Illy Document has a profile embedded and the colors look and print out just like i need them to. the pdf version however seems to not like that idea and appears to have different profiles for each page. I have made sure that the color profiles are included and no color conversions happen.
    Why am i getting this?
    I can provide a sample set of files so you can hopefully see what i see if you need them.
    I do not know that much about any advanced features of Acrobat, so it may be setting that I'm not aware of or something like that. Color is also not a very high priority (though i really wish it was) in my workflow and thus my understanding of it is also fairly limited. Color theory in college doesn't count i don't think

    This may have nothing to do with your problem, but -- at least with Acrobat 8, there is a 100MB limit to the scanned image. Are you trying to scan something larger than that?
