Support for n-channel icc-profiles

I have recently attended a symposium where some speakers touched on Photoshop’s (or the whole CS’) lack of support for n-channel ICC-profiles.
And (while I have to admit that the ramifications may be beyond my comprehension) the point seems very much valid.
I suspect this issue might also concern the matter of the Spot Channels-and-Layers-situation that has come up in this Forum repeatedly and changing the current situation may well fall in the neighbourhood of Programming and Nightmare.
Moreover the question of who should or could provide those profiles in any quality regarding the overprint behaviour of the tints (and their possible combinations) would appear daunting.
Still, even a simplyfied physical model may be an impovement to the recent situation.
Plus, as the speakers pointed out, anything above a 7-channel profile is hardly realistic, anyway.
In all probablity Adobe is already aware of the matter through its contacts with/in ICC, FOGRA and other bodies concerned with printing-matters (and their representative at said symposium).
Nonetheless I would like to voice my support for the demand to see n-channel ICC-profile-support in Photoshop.
Edit: This might be especially beneficial with flexo-printing in CMYKOGB (CMYK + orange + green + blue) – I don’t have enough experience with flexo to judge this with any statistical relevance, but it seems to be fairly popular.

Thanks for Your answers.
changing to support an arbitrary number of channels of color data will require a huge number of changes to the application to make even common features work
Understandably.
But it would seem that this may be a solution to certain dissatisfactions with the Spot Channels’ behaviour that have come up in this Forum, too.
Well, not a straightforward solution, I guess, as one may not want to separate an image using the additional Channels but keep that in CMY(K) and only use the Spots for graphic elements etc. … and if Photoshop were to provide seven-Channels-Layers I suspect it wouldn’t be long until someone asks for eight.
The packaging-industry’s needs don’t seem to be met by the CS currently, but the cost-benefit-considerations are certainly valid.

  • Searching for a monitor icc profile for a Satellite M60-139

    i'm a grafic-designer useing a Satellite M60-139 - and therefor i need a color-profile for my Satellite M60-139-display - has anybody an idea where from i can get one?

    Hi,
    From what I understand, you do not need to download or install any color profiles. It is exactly what the name implies, a profile. One you create and save on your computer. It can also be used to set different color profiles for different monitors. If you right click desktop, and then select the tab on the far right, then click advanced. Under advanced go to color management, and then click add, at which point it will give you a list of predefined color profiles. You can select the one closest to what you need and modify it to your specifications, and then save it. I hope this helps, if not, I can google around and see if there are any predifined on the internet to download, but I found none so far. Let me know how it goes.
    Googling around, I found this website with some ICC's you can download. I hope you find the one you need.

  • DirectTV lack of support for Apple TV channels

    Is there a common site to file a complaint with DirectTV over the lack of support for AppleTV channels?  Or do I have to go to each channels site?
    Thanks for any help!
    Regards,
    -Brian

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    The Apple TV 1 is very much different than the later Apple TV is. For a start it doesn't support homesharing or airplay. It doesn't have many features of the later Apple TV is such as iTunes march, MLB, WSJ, photo stream and others. Additionally, it does not support re-downloading of TV shows and movies (US only).
    It's also plays lower resolution video only.

  • Please add support for JPEG Exchangeable Image File Format (EXIF)

    It seems that now Adobe® Illustrator® can export only to the JPEG File Interchange Format (JFIF). We should have an option to produce the JPEG Exchangeable image file format (EXIF) as well (just like Photoshop does!). Why this is so important to me? I generally work under Illustrator and I often post my work on Behence. I work with 'sRGB IEC61966-2.1' color profile. When publishing I use *.jpg with embedded ICC Color Profile. But it looks like Behence doesn’t fully support the JPEG JFIF – for example it cannot read its icc data correctly. The effect is that my work looses its quality! The only option to produce the JPEG EXIF I have now is to: Export *.ai file to JPEG (under Adobe Illustrator) > go to Photoshop > Create new project > Paste the *.jpg > and Sava As JPEG with icc embedded. This guarantees my files are being processed correctly.
    (JPEG) Formally, the EXIF and JFIF standards are incompatible. This is because both specify that their particular application segment (APP0 for JFIF, APP1 for Exif) must be the first in the image file. In practice, many programs and digital cameras produce files with both application segments included. This will not affect the image decoding for most decoders, but poorly designed JFIF or Exif parsers may not recognize the file properly. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JPEG_File_Interchange_Format#Exif_comparison )
    I’ve analyzed my files using JPEGsnoop 1.6.1 (an app by Calvin Hass, http://www.impulseadventure.com/photo/) and here is the result:

  • A2DP support for 8800

    I have a 8800 smartphone with software version V4.5.0.37 (platform 2.7.0.55).
    I bought a bluetooth stereo headset which is A2DP enabled. I am not able to use this with my mobile.
    Any support/suggestions?

    One notable missing capability is support for the A2DP Bluetooth profile for stereo headphones, although the device does support mono Bluetooth headphones for use with the phone. RIM says support for A2DP will be added in a future software update. Until that happens, to get the most out of your music, you'll need wired headphones with a relatively uncommon 2.5-mm headphone jack or to use an adapter with your regular wired headphones. All in all, the media capabilities feel like a half-hearted add-on to this device.

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.1.0 distiller ICC profile error asks for reinstall

    I have Windows XP professional, SP3.
    My Systems Administrator recently upgraded my Adobe Acrobat Pro 8 to 9.1.0 and since then I keep getting an error that says: Distiller cannot find its standard ICC profiles. Please reinstall Adobe Acrobat to correct this problem.
    This error happens when:
    1. I print to Adobe from a web page (IE 7.0.5730.11 or Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.20)
    2. I try to print to any printer from certain websites, such as the usps.com, where I print all our postage labels from.
    3. Occasionally when I start up the PC.
    Sometimes I get the error but it still pdfs the page. Usually, though, it hangs and then Acrobat and the web browser close.
    I seem to be able to pdf MS Office 2007 items (Word, Excel) and my Filemaker Pro Advanced 10 records. I guess it's when I'm "printing" to Adobe as opposed to "saving as pdf" that I have this problem.
    Acrobat 8 worked fine. My Sys Admin has reinstalled the upgrade twice (after trying a repair which didn't work) to no avail. He can't find any documentation about this error at Adobe, so he's going to uninstall it and switch me back to Adobe 8.
    I do all of the pdf'ing of our deliverable documents at my company and I would like to have the latest edition of Acrobat. If anyone knows of anything I can do, please let me know.
    Thanks!
    Stephie

    Adobe Tech support was most helpful on this.  First download the updated
    Distiller ICC profile files at:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=4075&fileID= 3790
    Unzip the file and copy only the *.icc files (without regard to the subfolders that they are in - in other words, take the files out of each of the subfolders) to the followng folder in Windows 7:
    c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\color
    These new files will probably overwrite some old ones.
    This solved the problem for me.
    This is actually the best solution though I found that instead of copying all the .icc files to the windows\sys...  folder, all you need to do is copy the 3 Video files from the RGB folder (VideoHD.icc, VideoNTSC.icc, and VideoPAL.icc).  Once you add these three files to  c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\color  you will be good to go.
    It seems that this was an error on the part of Adobe in that there is no reason to include Video files for printing.  Nevertheless, the distiller will look for these and return the ICC profile error message if those files are not present.

  • CMYK ICC profile support in Lightroom: Workaround?

    Ok, I know this is not the first time someone has brought this up and I know that Lightroom doesn't internally support CMYK printer profiles, and I'm not expecting it to do that given that the documentation specifically says it doesn't work, and it in fact doesn't work.
    I'm using OS X (Lion). I recently profiled a Lexmark C543dn color laser printer with a ColorMunki Photo and the profile works great with Photoshop's "built in" RIP/CMS/whatever, but I can't get ColorSync in the printer settings dialog to recognize the profile. If I use the ColorSync Utility to force the profile on the printer, it also doesn't work.
    What I would have expected for colorspace conversions when printing (from lightroom for example) is something like:
    Melissa RGB -> ProPhoto RGB (or sRGB, Adobe RGB, whatever, using internal lightroom stuff)
    ProPhoto RGB -> LAB (using a generic ProPhoto RGB profile that comes with the system or the software pkg)
    LAB -> printer native CMYK (using the custom printer profile I created)
    native CMYK data -> printer
    So I don't understand why Lightroom or whatever application doesn't "tell" the printer driver that it's getting data in ProPhoto RGB (or whatever) at which point the driver should convert to LAB (or whatever PCS is specified) and then to printer native CMYK with the custom profile.
    Does anyone know of a way to make this happen?

    I'm not a professional, only a hobbyist, so it took me a little longer, but I also have the impression that the new Preview ignores ICC profiles.
    I noticed it when moving images between my iBooks built-in and my external Eizo screen. Since the gamut of the second is much larger, images appear rather different on the two screens. In Tiger's Preview, this resulted in colors changing suddenly during the move, when the center of the image passed from one screen to the other. This effect is gone and yes, the images are over-saturated on the 'good' screen.
    Jethro555, could you find a solution to the problem?

  • ICC profiles for HP Photosmart 7520 from other manufacturers

    Hi
    I am looking for ICC profiles from other manufacturers for a HP Photosmart 7520. I have been searching days now and have found nothing for my printer.
    Where can I find other manufacturers ICC profiles if they are available? OR if there are none profided, why?
    TIA
    Alex

    Hi asdiaz,
    I understand you have a Photosmart 7520 that you're wanting different ICC profiles for. I will do my best to guide you in this.
    This isn't something that we support, but in doing a bit of research I was able to find a link to Adobe ICC Profile, and this International Color Consortium page that has a few different suggestions.
    Hopefully these pages will get you in the right direction! Have a good one!

  • Monitor ICC profile supported with Adobe Reader?

    Hi, I know Reader supports reading of input ICC color profiles like in embedded pictures (sRGB, Adobe RGB, etc.), but it seems it doesn't support outputting to the monitor's ICC profile. Is there a way to do this? I have used Reader 8 and 9. I need to properly preview the files, and sometimes print them.
    Thanks.

    Adobe Acrobat's latest version can run on 10.5.8, given the constraints listed on http://www.adobe.com/products/reader/tech-specs.html.
    You can upgrade to Mac OS X 10.7.4 if all your software and hardware meets the requirements.
    Acrobat 8.1 is the version designed by http://www.adobe.com/ as both PowerPC Mac and Intel Mac
    compatible around the same time as 10.5 was released.

  • Does Firefox 3.5 support only some ICC profiles (AdobeRGB, sRGB, e.g.) or all ICC profiles in color management?

    I put one image embedded with a ICC profile with D65 as white point, and the same image embedded with another ICC profile but with D50 as white point (the 'chad' matrix in the profile is different as well, given different white point for two profiles). When these two images (of same RGB values) but with different ICC profiles embedded are displayed side-by-side in Firefox, difference in color should be noticed between two images if color management is available in Firefox (color management is turned on in about:config). However, I did not see any difference.
    I tried using the same image but embedded one with sRGB profile, and the other with AdobeRGB profile. Now I can see the difference.
    So my question is whether Firefox can only recognize a certain number of ICC profiles but not all of them.
    Thanks.

    See https://developer.mozilla.org/En/ICC_color_correction_in_Firefox
    <blockquote>Caveats: The new QCMS color management system introduced in Firefox 3.5 currently only supports ICC version 2 color profiles, not version 4.
