Soft Proofing: View Proof Setup Custom: Profile Disappears when Re-opened

Photoshop CS6 on Mac
Edit an image file and get it to where I like on the monitor
Duplicate the file and set the new file to the profile for the printer which will be used, by using View > Proof Setup > Custom and setting an imported printer profile for the printing company that I use.
As soon as you do that, the file looks like crap, so...
Edit the soft proof file to get it to where it looks good again.
Save off the file for the printer and also save the new PSD file.
Close the PSD file.
Reopen the new (soft proofed) PSD file.
Still looks good, but.... when you check View > Proof Setup it's now generally set to Custom: U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2 instead of to the imported printer profile which was set previously. WHY???? Where did the printer profile go? Is it supposed to do this?
If I then reset View > Proof Setup to the correct printer profile, the image goes to crap again.
Is this me doing something wrong, or is the PSD file not properly remembering the printer profile, or... what's going on here?
Thanks much!

None of what you write makes any sense whatsoever to me, sorry.
Let's start by using correct terminology. For the last time, you are not "importing" any freaking profile. Wrap your head around that once and for all, please.
Let me try once again, totally disregarding the scenarios you were unsuccessfully attempting to describe above. Forget all that mumbo jumbo for now, please.
You have not mentioned what your working space is, so let's assume it's Adobe RGB.
You have finished editing an image, so now you have an AdobeRGB-tagged image. Fine.
Now you want to soft proof it to see what it will look like in that FujiWonderPrinterInAlaskaUsingMatteThaiElephantPoopPaper printer in Anchorage. (Made up names of course.)
So you make a duplicate COPY of your finished image file named BabyPictForPrint.psd. You're still in Adobe RGB, of course. You put the original away in a safe and forget about it—forever. That's like your negative in film days.
Now you soft proof the BabyPictForPrint.psd COPY by using the infamous FujiWonderPrinterInAlaskaUsingMatteThaiElephantPoopPaper.icc profile the outfit in Alaska sent you.
When you soft proof it with that Alaska profile, you have not imported anything. Photoshop is simply using the profile you pointed it to to show you in your monitor what it would look like. Your pixels so far are untouched, yet yo see your image "die" before your very eyes. Ouch! Now you need to compensate for the effect of printing under those proposed conditions, so you set about the task of editing the copy accordingly. Remember, you're still in Adobe RGB.
Once you have the copy just the way you like it, YOU SAVE ALL YOUR CHANGES in that copy. Now you have a fully edited image file in the Adobe RGB space but tweaked to look fine when printed in the FujiWonderPrinterInAlaskaUsingMatteThaiElephantPoopPaper printer.
At that point you are done! Finished!
Now you are faced with two choices:
A) Sending the finished, saved ADOBE RGB COPY to your printer if you consider him capable of knowing what he's doing. (If you think he does not know his business, look for another printer). Or…
B) Assume you're dealing with a moron on the other end who wants the image CONVERTED to his custom FujiWonderPrinterInAlaskaUsingMatteThaiElephantPoopPaper.icc. If that is the case, then open your COPY in Photoshop, go to the Edit menu > CONVERT to Profile… and convert the copy to the infamous FujiWonderPrinterInAlaskaUsingMatteThaiElephantPoopPaper.icc profile. It's critical to use CONVERT TO Profile, not "Assign Profile"!
At that point, under scenario B), you do not EVER want to return to Proof View / Soft Proof mode, ever, EVER again, because then you would be applying the profile doubly and you'd see your image die before your eyes once again, and if you edited it you'd have real elephant poop!
Hope that helps.

I have photoshop CC. I cannot open two files such as Tiffs and view them side by side. When I open the second file it overrides the first. Do I need to do something with preferences?

What happens when you try to use the clone stamp tool?
It should work with the images side by side.
You can setup photoshop cc to be like photoshop cs2 was on your other mac, by going to Photoshop>Preferences>Interface and unchecking
Open Documents as Tabs and Enable Floating Document Window Docking
And also going to Window and unchecking Application Frame

Is there a reason why the mail badge icon on my iPad doesn't disappear when I open an email on my iPhone using my iCloud account?

Hi everyone!
Looking also for an app that allows me to merge email and send them out to each recipient individually. Apparently that's not possible yet. Here's what the guys at RedbitsApps told me about Group Email capabilities:
"The current version of the app relies on the device operating system to send the emails. For this reason, sending individual email instead of a single email to multiple recipients is not possible. Apple doesn't allow apps to send single emails to many recipients easily. We may use a custom sending software in a future version."
Let's keep looking guys...

How come my junk email disappears when I open it? for my .me email account

Roadrunner is POP email, and the feature you are looking for
is a function of IMAP email. Roadrunner has not announced
any plans to make IMAP available. If this is important to you,
get a gmail account (which can be setup as IMAP) and configure
your Roadrunner account to automatically forward emails to the
gmail account.

Is there anyway to get an App Tab to stay when I close the program then reopen it?...they always disappear when I open a new window etc.

Is there anyway to get an App Tab to stay when I close the program then reopen it?...they always disappear when I open a new window etc.
And I thought the whole point of an App Tab was to always have those tabs there no matter what window is open all the time period.
It's a minor complaint but I would really appreciate the option to permanently have them there.

I thought that app tabs would be more persistent, like pinning programs to the taskbar in Windows, but this is not the case.
Instead, once you close a Firefox window, all its tabs and app tabs are lost.
Essentially, this means that the close button in the upper-left corner of a Firefox window is now a "kill all open tabs and loose all App Tabs without warning++ " button. That is not cool.
I realize that "Firefox > Quit Firefox" behaves as intended, but many people use the more obvious red close button instead of the menu to close windows on a Mac. And it is easy to forget that the red button is now also an app-tab-death button. I've lost my app tabs many times to this issue. It is an unforgiving user interface decision which hampers the usability of app tabs. Why should I go through the extra clicks of setting up app tabs if I can loose them so easily?
Ideally, App Tabs could be saved separately from the currently open windows (perhaps create an option to save then to a special Tab Group that opens on startup?). App tabs would be exceedingly useful to me if they weren't so easy to loose.
On that note, saving Tab Groups would also be a useful functionality.
++ You will get a "closing multiple tabs" warning if you have only one window open, and that one window has multiple non-app tabs open, and you have enabled the warning in Preferences. But this too unreliable to help prevent the loss of app tabs.

Iphone camera effects display in photo album but disappear when you open the photo itself. why is this ?

iphone camera effects display in photo album but disappear when you open the photo itself. why is this ?

Hi Cyclosaurus,
Thank you for your reply. Sorry to bug you again but can I ask some further questions? Pls excuse my lack of knowledge on these things.
In relation to your points:
1) In the ftp publishing settings, public_html is acutal in where it says "site name", where it says "URL" I have http://www.gippmed.com. I was advised to put public_html in "site name" from my hosting. If I put anything else it publishes the entire site to a folder with that name on the server and is not viewable online?
2) I have removed the spaces in the album page name and will reupload soon. In relation to the image file names, am I correct in saying that iweb is naming them from the captions? Do you really have to use one word captions or use underscores, it looks a little odd? I have read troubleshooting articles about iweb and spaces and it also recommends similar as you are, suggesting that all page names should have underscore instead of spaces. Problem is, if for example I change the page name "About Me" to "About_Me" iweb automatically changes it in the navigation menu and this looks silly to have undescores in the Nav Menu. Is there a way around this?
Lastly, a new problem that I have never had before:
Previously, iweb would remember what I had published and only publish new site changes. Now, every time I turn my computer off and on, I open iweb and it doesn't recognise any of the previous publishing, ie it republishes the entire site.
Thank you again for your help

TS3230 Safari menu disappears when I open it?

In Mavericks, why does my Safari menu disappear when I open it, then I have to use Force Quit to quit Safari?

Sounds like it's in full screen mode.
Press Control + Command + F to exit full screen mode.

My space bar has disappeared when I open safari, and has been replaced by other keys. I don't understand why?

My space bar has disappeared when I open safari and been replaced by other keys, does anyone know how this happened?

When you tap in the address field to type the web address, another keyboard pops up without the space bar as no spaces are need when typing the web address. Just tap anywhere on the screen or on the keyboard icon in the lower right corner and the keyboard will go away.

The taskbar disappears when I open firefox. It just statred doing this. Any suggestions for how to fix it? I'm running on XP. Thank you in advance.

When it is just my desktop on the screen, the taskbar is at the bottom as usual. Now when I open Firefox, the taskbar disappears. This just started yesterday. I'm running Windows XP on this laptop. Any suggestions on how to correct the problem would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Have you got Firefox's menubar displaying if so turn that off using
* View -> Toolbars -> [] Menu Bar
That may restore the Orange Firefox Button. Post back as to whether that works.
I do not use Vista, but it seems odd that only Firefox should make the Vista taskbar disappear. You would do better to post your own question in a new thread.

Monitor profile unloads when games open?!

okay, so after a long time of wondering why quake 4 on one computer looks hideously green and it looks just fine on my powerbook, i realized that when quake 4 opens, the monitor profile is UNLOADED.
now, i dont have any other games installed on the one computer so i cant test other full screen things, but i would imagine a similar issue. so, what in the heck is going on?
any ideas? =(

Manufacturer-supplied profiles are notoriously unreliable and often outright defective. The problem is that they are often pushed through Windows Update to unsuspecting users. Avoid them. If you click "hide this update" the next time it comes up it won't come back.
The Photoshop message means what it says. Choose "Ignore" to throw it out and replace it with the Windows default, which is sRGB IEC61966-2.1. The proper fix is to make a custom profile with a calibrator, but if you don't have one it's always best and safest to use sRGB.
The manual way to do this is to go into Control Panel > Color Management > Devices. Relaunch Photoshop after you've changed the profile (it needs to pick up the correct profile at startup):

Firefox Extensions Disappear When I Open Firefox Again

When I first start my computer I can turn on Firefox and all of my extension I have installed will be displayed. Then when a close Firefox I continue to use my computer. When I open Firefox again, most of my extensions are not displayed. I am using Firefox 19.0.2 and this happens every single time.
See a picture of what I am talking about at:
http://reviewsbyyou-games.webs.com/Firefox%20Problem.jpg
This never used to happen, only recently.

Sometimes the file that stores toolbar customizations becomes corrupted and fails to update properly at the end of your session. You can rename the file and customize from scratch.
Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using
Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
Switch back to Firefox and Exit
Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''localstore.rdf''' to something like localstore.old
Restart Firefox. Hopefully now your changes will be remembered.

Help!! My emails keep disappearing when I open mail. Even the new ones that start to load.

My emails go into thin air when I open the mail icon. Both the new and old ones disappear. It gets better if I reboot, but still keep happening. This has gone on for a month now. I also tried to change my settings....ask before you delete, show the first 50 messages. I turned off the cloud. . .

I don't know what you consider rebootting, but here are a bunch of things that you can try. Some are just - hey let's give this a shot and see!
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Quit the mail app and restart. In order to quit or close apps - Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
You can also go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars - tap on your email account and turn it off - launch the mail app - then return to the settings and turn your email account on again - quit the mail app as described above - and then launch the mail app again.
The last thing I could suggest is to delete the mail account and add it back on again.

Apps icon disappear when i open it

Hello,
When i open an app (either from the dock or the all folder) the icon of the specific app disappear
tha app is working normally, but the icon is not visible.

There seems to be a problem that Apple is having regarding App updates. There are numerouse posts regarding this problem. My suggestion is to just wait until Apple rectifies this problem.

Viewing document without any guides showing WHEN FIRST Open

I know how to turn off the guides when the document is already open. But I don't have a clue how to save the document, so that the end user can open a clean page?

As far as I know, View > Grids & Guides > Show/Hide Guides gets saved
with the file. If you Hide Guides and save the file, the next person to
open the file shouldn't see guides.
This is not technically "when first open".
