Setting colour profiles when exporting

Aperture is assigning an AdobeRGB colour profile to my files upon export, or transfer to Photoshop CS5. I have the export preset set to sRGB but despite this there is a profile mismatch when opening it in photoshop. The files are shot RAW, the camera is set to sRGB. The files have only ever been brought from the camera to Aperture, no other program is involved in the workflow. Is there a setting that I am missing??

Welcome to the user-to-user forum.
What do you have set at "Aperture→Preferences→Export→External Editor Color Space"?
Not sure that's it -- and you specify both export and "transfer" - by which I assume you mean use the assigned external editor -- but worth looking at.
(Added: Ah, time lag! Could have saved me the effort.)

  • 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.

  • Change colour profile on export of jpeg for using files on windows pc

    My father, who is 80, has a mac and aperture.
    He is reasonable proficient using it, but as a windows user myself I'm unsure of the in's and out's of things and it always falls on me to help him when he has a problem.
    He also has a windows computer, which he has a programme on for making calenders.
    The problem we have is that when he saves his photo's after editing in aperture to a dvd, he puts this dvd into his windows pc and he cannot see any of the previews.
    On opening up any picture in photoshop on the pc, it asks if he wants to use the embedded colour profile or change it.
    I'm wondering if Aperture is exporting using a certain profile which windows cannot read? Thus doesn't show the preview.
    He needs the preview to pick which pictures he wants to use on the calender.
    He then stores all his pictures on the dvd.
    I'm pretty sure he shoots as jpegs, not raw. Though I need to ask him.
    He has several different cameras, and I think he has trouble with all of them. I'm pretty sure one is a nikon d5300 (I just googled red body nikon)
    Is there a colour profile for aperture when saving as a jpeg that is compatible with windows?
    It's a hundred mile round trip to visit and to then sit down and try to work it out by trial and error would take some time. 
    So if I can find an answer and call on the phone to tell him what to do, it'd save me a lot of time
    I'm not sure what Mac he has, what OS he's using or which version of Aperture, he only recently bought it, so guess at the latest one.......... I know I'm a great help !!!!!
    I can find out if needed, but thought there might be an easy fix....... I know, whenever is there an easy fix for anything!!!
    Cheers,
    Graham

    There is no standard for a 'Preview'. It's a feature of the software that is opening a file as to how it shows those files to the user for selection. Some software will look in the file header for a thumbnail, some will use the files associated icon (if it has one) and some will just present a list of file names. I seriously doubt changing the colour profile output by Aperture will have any impact on this.
    Although Aperture doesn't have a calendar feature, iPhoto does and as of the last year or so, Aperture has an option to open it's library in iPhoto. So if he has a current enough version of Aperture and iPhoto, he could avoid the issue altogether if he is happy to switch into iPhoto to make the Calendar.
    If he wasn't using DVD (say a USB thumbdrive instead) he could run a utility on the PC to create icons for the files where the icon is a thumbnail of the picture, which the calendar software might then use when prompting for images to load. But the use of DVD complicates this, as it depends on the DVD drivers and file systems in use on the DVD.

  • Colour loss when exporting jpeg from Aperture 2.1

    I'm having a problem with colour loss in images i'm trying to export to a website.These are jpegs that have been worked on as RAW in Aperture,when exported to desktop and viewed in preview there is no colour loss at all, but when viewed on the site the colour saturation seems very dull and lack lustre - any ideas?? I have checked all the export presets (been going through all the posts to see if i could pickup anyone else finding the same) and they are all at the same settings. Thanks

    Go to the tools menu and then assign profile. Choose the display profile that your monitor is using. This will effectively stop preview from doing any translation to your monitor. See if this matches what you are seeing when you upload to the web. If it does then somewhere in your upload, process, web server chain the profile is being removed from the jpg or the browser you are using ignores color profiles (most windows browsers ignore image color profiles, that's why adobeRGB profile images look like crap to most windows users when viewed in Explorer)
    Ps if this is the case nothing is wrong you are just getting a preview of how most windows users will see your image on the web. Adjust to taste.

  • Colour Profiles on exported images causing major problems

    I've been exporting keynote slides as png's to use in video presentations. The problem is that the png's are saved with colour profiles, which means if I export the images from diferent macs, or even the same mac but with a different monitor attached (therefore a diferent monitor colour profile active), the images have very noticeable colour variations.
    This is a major problem. I exported 1,000 slide transitions to import into Adobe Premiere, then about 500 slide updates that when imported, were in some cases darker or lighter even though I was using the same keynote and original images. I had to create a batch job in Photoshop to open, ignore the stored profile and save the images using a new default colour profile to try and get all the images consistent.
    There needs to be an option in either the Keynote preferences or export options to save exported images without colour profiles.

    No, there needs to be documentation on the ICC architecture and how ICC profiles are applied. Stripping out embedded ICC profiles will colour manage the objects (images) in the system, but when the images pass outside the system they will not be colour managed any more. In this scenario, either they will have to be rendered as deviceColor by the numbers, without a definition of the colours their colourants should form, or a source ICC profile will have to be assigned by the following system/application.

    I could be considered an unconditional bug in Keynote if it embedded the current monitor profile and not the system RGB colour working space profile (: Generic RGB Profile). If indeed Keynote embeds the current monitor profile, it could be considered an unconditional bug in your understanding if you start by stripping the source profiles. You should be doing a profile to profile conversion in order to get into the RGB colour working space you want in Photoshop.
    Sorry, but it helps to have a basic understanding of media independent colour matching (even if the developers don't sometimes -:)).

  • Background Colour Incorrect when exporting to PDF from Crystal Reports 2008

    Hello All
    When exporting to PDF from CR2008 the background colour of the crosstab is incorrectly displayed. The problem is as follows to create a crosstab with a grey header row and column details in white we have used the following trick.
    Format Cross Tab Border Background is set to Silver.
    Crosstab Expert Grand Total Background colour is set to white.
    The result is a crosstab with header in grey and details in white.
    This report displays correctly in CR2008, and exports as seen on screen to everything but PDF. When exporting to PDF the Crosstab is completely grey taking on only the Background colour of silver, and ignoring the Grand Total Background colour being set to white.
    What is strange that when I print to PDF the format is also displayed exactly as required,
    Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
    Some additional details.
    CR2008 version 12.3.1.683

    Thanks

    If this is a big issue for you then please purchase a case and a Rep can duplicate and escalate to R&D.
    As a work around export to Editable RTF and in Word 2007 you can get a PDF export plug-in and then export to PDF.

  • Automatically convert images to RGB Colour Profile when opened in Photoshop...

    Hi there,
    I have just moved over to Photoshop CS6 from Elements 10. One thing I can't work out how to do is to have PS automatically convert opened files to RGB, exactly like PSE does. Is this possible?
    Many Thanks

    Basically the only way to convert them is by manually changing the colour profile?
    To my knowledge, yes.
    I'm sure you can write a script that will do that automatically, but I don't script. You can post in the PS scripting forum. Bright and helpful people there. I'm sure someone there can set you up and walk you through how to install "a convert CMYK to working RGB upon open" script.

  • Why can't I include a color profile when exporting to PDF?

    I've a basic RGB illustrator file - no embedded or linked images, just flat colors and gradients.
    I'm working in sRGB space and this is reported correctly in the info field at the lower left of the editing window.
    Some issues:
    1. When I look at this file in Bridge it's listed as 'untagged'.  However if I re-open it in illustrator it's reported to be sRGB as expected.
    What's broken here?
    ...and of more immediate concern:
    2. Despite requesting 'Include All Profiles' on the output page of the PDF save dialog I cannot get a PDF exported that includes the sRGB profile.
    Same issues in both CS6 and CC - Windows 7, 64.
    Thoughts, comments or suggestions welcomed....
    Thanks

    Your .pdf is fine, if you open the .pdf in illustrator, adn hten do edit >> assign profile, this radio biutton will bo on what the profile. Also in the bottom left of illustrator you can see what color profile your document is saved with, btuy turning that on.
    Hold down option adn you will get other fun easter egg options
    Bridge only seems to show profiles for certain bitmapped formats, except .psb format.

  • Colour shift when exporting from lightroom 5 into Photoshop CS6

    Hi there,
    Having a really weird problem in Lightroom/Photoshop that no amount of Googling can seem to fix.
    When I grade an image for colour in lightroom, and then use the "edit in" function to send the file to Photoshop, the file is a completely different colour.
    Here's an example:
    I'm using SRGB for both Lightroom and Photoshop, and the "preserve embedded profiles" is selected for RGB, CMYK, and gray.
    If anyone can shed some light on this, it would be great. I don't want to have to use ProPhotoRGB, because most of my work is delivered online.
    Thanks in advance
    John

    I am also having this issue with the "Merge to HDR Pro" function in both LR5.2 and PSCC. When the image is viewed at 50% image size in the HDR app everything appears fine. However, once you start to zoom in the image begins to crop out segements starting on the right hand side. See the screen shots below:

    Image at 66%

  • ICC v4 profiles converted to v2 profiles when exporting to PDF X4

    When will ICC v4 profiles be supported? Is this a InDesign or PDF issue?

    Think I have, with the help of a couple of ICC/PDF guys, solved this. I was exporting to PDF X1a. This standard does not support v4 ICC profiles. I have now exported the same file using PDF X4, and the v4 ICC profile is used correctly. So the PDF output engine does accept v4 profiles, if the PDF x standard supports them.

  • Default Setting on List when exporting out of SAP

    Nick,
    Try program SALV_BS_ADMIN_MAINTAIN - you have to run it in sa38/se38 as there isn't a transaction assigned (at least there isn't one assigned in my system).  Select the Detailed Selection option and enter the Client and user ID of the user whose export options need to be reset.  In the Actions section, you can select Display or Delete, it doesn't matter.  Click Execute.  You'll get a list (ALV) screen showing the user's ID and the setting they selected.  Select the line and click the delete line button (it should be the one furthest to the right).

  • Do I need to set AI colour profiles for use in ID?

    My previous set up:
    Mac
    CS2 (Illustrator, Photoshop, Bridge)
    Quark XPress 7
    My new set up:
    PC (Win 7)
    CS5 (Illustrator, Photoshop, Bridge, InDesign)
    My problem:
    I work for a company that prints newspapers, but my dept also does work for glossy sheetfed printers (magazines leaflets etc)
    All my work is exclusively CMYK.
    With my previous set up - I didn’t want to have to switch my colour profiles via Bridge as I was constantly juggling two types of jobs:
    Our tabloid press - Profile - ISOnewspaper26v4 (CMYK)
    Sheetfed Printers - Profile - ISO Coated V2 (Fogra 39) (CMYK)
    So I set my CS2 Suite colour settings to  ISO Coated V2 (Fogra 39) and set an action in Photoshop to convert jpegs / eps photos to ISOnewspaper26v4.
    So my CS2 working space was set for Sheetfed glossy publications and if I wanted to set a picture to the correct profile for newsprint I just had to open the picture and hit the action that applied the ISOnewspaper26v4 profile.
    Regarding Quark – I set up separate templates for each type of job:
    One for Profile - ISO Coated V2 (Fogra 39) and one for - Profile - ISOnewspaper26v4.
    Regarding Illustrator - I found that Quark 7 didn’t differentiate between Illustrator colour profiles, or if it did, it didn’t show up in ‘Usage’.
    If I went to Quark Usage and went to ‘Profiles’ it only listed the Quark profile and any Photoshop profiles, not any Illustrator profiles.
    So in Illustrator I just set colour profiles to ‘do not colour manage this document’. So that I only had to worry about changing profiles for Photoshop jpegs / eps’s.
    So I had a good little system going that served me well and now my company decided to move us to PC’s and CS5; and I still have the same problem – juggling newsprint jobs and glossy magazine jobs and not wanting to have to synchronise my CS suite colour settings every time I switch between jobs...
    So I was hoping to stick with my little system on PC / CS5.
    So basically my question is, do I need to worry about Illustrator colour profiles if I am bringing Illustrator files into InDesign? (To clarify, my Illustrator files are always pure vector, so there is no chance of some rogue RGB jpeg sneaking through on a Illustrator file)
    Im open to suggestions regarding my set up, but really would prefer not to have to keep switching my colour profiles.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    First, I wasn't suggesting that your PDFs be exported to RGB, but it is a common workflow these days to keep photos in RGB until you convert them to the correct profile during the export process. This maximizes the potential for re-purposing your documents and allows you to use the same RGB photos for different output purposes without having to do separate CMYK conversions for each destination, so long as you don't need to do any tweaking after the conversion.
    And to answer your question, if the .ai files have no embedded color profile they will ALWAYS be considered to use whatever the CMYK working space is in your ID file, so the numbers will be preserved. This means that there will be slight differences in color on output on different devices (the whole point of color management, after all, is to preserve the appearance of colors by altering the numbers for the output device).
    Does the vector work you get from Thinstock come with an embedded profile? Is there any color that is critical for matching, such as a corporate color (which should be spot, but that's a different discussion), or do you use the same art in both the newspaper and magazine, and does the client expect a match (which we know isn't going to happen anyway)?
    If there's no embedded profile when you start, there's no way to know what the color was supposed to look like, so color management is not possible, really. You can assign a profile, but you'd be guessing. Since the correct appearance at that point is unknown continuing with out color management shouldn't present a problem. The only case where you would need to manage the vector art would be if the color APPEARANCE is critical or you need it to match across different outputs, and in that case you would need to assign a profile and allow ID to preserve the profile on import and remap the numbers, which means you would likely get rich blacks someplace. Since it's unlikely that you can get a good match going from glossy to newsprint, I probably wouldn't even try -- you wouldn't want, for example, to tag the art as newsprint, and have it print subdued on the gloss if it would look better or more correct with the other profile. Color management would be much more useful if you were going from sheetfed to web on the same stock.
