Unable to choose printer profile in PSE9

If I choose printer color management in the Color Management screen, the profile is set to Lab color and cannot be changed.  I'm running Windows 7 and printing to a Canon i9900.  I'm sure I could choose a profile with PCM in earlier versions of PSE.

I click on other in the print job area to bring up the profiles that I have loaded in to Color in Windows Vista.
Is it C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\color?
Did you try clicking on the Include display profiles check box? Some profiles are incorrectly tagged as being display rather than printer.

  • Unable to choose PRINT WIDE AREA on EPSON printer 740i after upgrading

    After upgrading to 10.4.5 i was unable to choose the print area in the page set up window. I use an EPSON 740, i had problems trying to print at the begining but solved them (luckily!). The print area is an option i use alot! because the print margin is bigger than the normal. I'm a graphic designer and i don't want to change my printer, it worked PERFECTLY with 10.3.... What can i do?

    OK! So the Mac has the drivers. One small step.
    Bear in mind please that I do not have that printer. On the Brother that I struggled with, the trick was to reset it and get it to print out the default settings. (Instructions I found on the Brother site.) Included in the printout was the printer's IP - 192.168.2.24.
    I then configured the Macs to find the printer. In 10.8.2: System Preferences / Print and Scan / + / IP
    But the first step was to get the printer to cough up the settings. Perhaps your manual has this info?

  • Pre 1.4.1 Print profile choosing behavior back in LR2

    Well I see the released version of LR2 has the exact same behavior when choosing printer profiles as pre 1.4.1 did. You guys are a real price of work. What the h___ were you thinking?
    At least the workaround changing the colorsync profile in the colorsync utility still works but of course limits you to just a few paper choices.
    MacPro 10.5.4, Canon iPF9000 Driver Version 1.30

    > I am now finding exclamation points on a bunch of different preview images
    > throughout the whole catalog
    I have a PC and am not familiar with LR on the Mac, but I too had many
    problems and appear to have made progress by removing the previews and
    building them again. I thought I had done this already, but perhaps I
    stepped on them with 1.4.1 by accident. In any case, I deleted the previews
    again and am rendering them again. After a few hours, 9,552 previews have
    been rendered, with about 37,000 to go. The rate of progress looks
    reasonable. I don't want to do too much during this large number of
    renders, but it appears as though I can navigate the images with relative
    speed. I'll hit everything harder when the renders are done, but I'm
    optimistic this time.
    Bottom line. Try deleting your previews and see if that helps.
    Best,

  • Unable to load icm printer profiles in Lightroom 5

    I am unable to access correctly loaded RGB printer profiles in Lightroom 5. 
    In the print module when color management profile "Other" is selected no loaded profiles appear; and Lightroom usually freezes.
    Using Photoshop v6 on same computer I can access all loaded printer profiles. I have reloaded LR5.
    Does anyone have a solution or work-around for this problem?

    The "Include Display Profiles" checkbox is at the bottom of the list that comes up if you click "Other..." in the Lightroom Print Job panel. If this is the point where Lightroom freezes you won't get to it of course. So then the question is what prevents Lightroom from loading that list?  Maybe someone else has suggestions, so hang on for a while.
    Anyway, whatever the extension, the point is that the profile in question has to be the correct one for that particular printer/paper/ink combination. Apologies if this is stating the obvious, but you don't really have a choice between several, you just pick the right one. They install with the printer driver and are named for instance "Epson <model> Premium Semigloss" and so on, different profiles for different paper types.
    Or you can make your own profiles. I believe the ColorMunki, for one, lets you create printer profiles as well as monitor profiles.

  • Unable to install Epson ICC printer profiles in Lion (access privileges message)

    I upgraded to Lion and cannot install Epson ICC printer profiles. When I try to install, the installation is halted with the message that I do not have enough access privileges for this installation. Yes, I am the admin (I checked, as I know this is a known issue). I have the current updates to the O/S and the Epson driver. Specifically, these are printer paper profiles for an Espon Stylus Photo R2800 printer.

    The ownership of the /Library/ColorSync directory and its contents changed in Lion.  You acutally do not have enough priviliges as admin to write to that directory anymore.  EPSON's installer does not have the ability to ask you for your password to escalate the admin privileges to root.  You should report this to EPSON and insist that they update their installer.
    There is a way to get the files installed, but it is pretty involved.  I will give you the general idea but USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.  There is a risk you could break your system and make it unusable.
    With those admonitions in mind, here's the general outline.
    1.  Go to /Library/ColorSync.  Highlight the folder and do a Get Info on it.
    2.  Under the Sharing & Permissions portion, give "everyone" the ability to Read & Write.  Then choose to have this applied to all enclosed items.
    3.  Run the EPSON installer(s).  The profiles will now install.
    4.  Change the ownership and permissions for all the installed items useing the Terminal--
    For the EPSON folder the command is 'sudo chown -R root:wheel path_to_EPSON_folder'
    For each and every item in the EPSON folder, the command is 'sudo chmod 644 path_to_item'
    5.  Open Disk Utility and Repair Permssions.

  • Unable to get lightroom 2.7 to see new printer profile

    I installed a new printer profile from ilford into my windows 7 system.  Photoshop cs3 shows it in the profiles, but lightroom only has my canon printer papers.  I am runing 64 bit mode.
    Bart

    Dorin,
    Thanks a lot.  I didn't look in the pane but was jumping into the print itself.  The only thing strange now is that the new profile is not listed unless I check the "include display profiles".  The profile is installed as a ".icc" .  Is this correct?  Anyway I think you have solved my problem which was just me not looking in the right place.  Many thanks.
    Bart
    P.S. I should check as problem solved, but wanted you to answer the profile question if you can and didn't know if you would get this otherwise.

  • Unable to install US Web Coated (SWOP) v2 print profile in Windows 7

    Hi There,
    I am trying to install the CMYK print profile: US Web Coated (SWOP) v2 to use in Adobe Lightroom 4.
    I have downloaded the bundle from the adobe website, extracted the files, right clicked on the file named USWebCoatedSWOP and selected install profile. Yet when I go into lightroom to find the profile it is not there.
    I have downloaded fuji print profiles from another site, but these were not from a bundle and downloaded directly from chrome, which I had no problems with.
    Is there another way to install this profile?
    Thanks in advance

    Thank you. That makes a lot of sense now. Have a nice day.

  • How to improve print quality from PSE9 on Mac?

    Is there a combination of various options in the Photoshop Elements 9’ and the HP Photosmart (C7180) printer’s dialogue boxes (on a Mac, OS 16) that would result in acceptable photo prints? I’ve browsed around in both the corresponding HP and the Adobe forums and found numerous inquiries with similar problems. Thus, this issue may impact larger audience. Therefore, I am describing my problem in more details below with the hope that someone will offer a satisfactory resolution:
    I’ve used earlier versions of Photoshop Elements in a Windows environment to print photos on my HP printer – with quite good results. I wanted to improve quality, so I bought a Mac (after all, “Mac’s forte is graphics, photos, etc.”, isn’t it?) and also upgraded to Photoshop Element 9. Well, to say that the result is a disappointment would be a great understatement. I’ve wasted countless hours, ink and paper in trying different PSE - printer options combinations. The prints are not even close to the quality that I used to get with my earlier setup. Is it possible that a conflict exists between the PSE’s and the printer’s Color Management?
    In my earlier setup (under Windows), there was an explicit option to turn Color Management off if I wanted PSE to manage colors (which I still want). In the Mac version of the printer menu I do not find this option (although PSE 9 still gives a warning: "Did you remember to disable color management in the printer preference dialog?"). In the PSE 9 print dialogue box (under “Color Management” – “Color Handling” in “More Options…”), there are three options: “Printer Manages Color”, “Photoshop Elements Manages Colors” and “No Color Management”. In the printer’s dialogue box, there are only two options: “ColorSync” and “Vendor Matching”. There is no “Printer Color Management off” – as it was under Windows setup. Anyway, these options seem to be irrelevant, because they are predefined in accordance with selections in PSE. If either the second or third options is selected in PSE, the “ColorSync” button is preselected in the grayed out Printer dialogue box. If the first option (“Printer Manages Color”) selected, the “Vendor Matching” is preselected in the grayed out HP Printer dialogue box.  Of course, I do NOT want the printer to manage color.
    Thus, is there any way to turn of the printer’s color management if I want Photoshop Element to manage color? Is it necessary (or “ColorSync” automatically takes care of that)?
    Anyway, this is all very confusing. The bottom line is: Is there a combination of various options in the PSE9’s and the HP Photosmart printer’s dialogue boxes (on a Mac OS 16) that would result in acceptable photo prints? What would be this combination?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hello
    I wonder if you ever solved this problem.
    I have a very similar problem with Photoshop CS5 on Mac OSX 10.6 + HP Photosmart C7180.
    If I choose "Photoshop Manages Colors" the results are lousy.
    If I choose "Printer Manages Colors" the results are OK. not necessarily great.
    I believe I have all the correct settings after going through books and web advice (and wasted a lot of paper and ink).
    As far as I can see, "ColorSync" is the internal Mac management which is the only option available with "Photoshop Manages Colors" and "Vendor Matching" appears to mean the printer vendor (ie HP) will provide the matching. Either can be selected if "Printer Manages Colors" is used. It seems the type of paper can be set in three different places. if That's all a bit academic as the results are poor regardless.
    My wife suggests I buy a new printer - Epson's looking good.
    Any words of wisdom would be appreciated.

    Hi,
    Go to NACE transaction , from there choose the V1 application,now click on Output types. now see the Output types for print related.
    Now use them for your preview.
    you need to provide Output type  to view the preview
    May be you are missing some configuration(in your case Order type may be Z* so it requires Some Config ).

  • How do you specify printer profiles in Elements 11?

    I upgraded from Elements 7 where there was a "drop-down" box that listed all of the available printer profiles to choose from.  I don't see a drop-down box in Elements 11 to accomplish the same thing.  I use Color Munki to set up printer profiles and can't find them in Elements 11.

    Both Epson and HP have been playing a game of Hide-and-Seek for the last year or two. Instead of putting the profiles they install into one of the common Profiles folders, they are in the /Library/Printers/ folder. For Epson, drill down to /Library/Printers/Epson/InkjetPrinter2/ICCProfiles. At least, this is where the installer for the Stylus Pro 4900 puts them.
    It was much harder to find those installed for the Stylus Pro 4000. They are still in this general area, but were hidden inside one of the .plugin packages a bit deeper into the folder structure.
    Either way, the Epson print drivers know where these profiles are and show up in the print dialogue boxes. Trouble is, other apps, such as Adobe, Quark, can't see them, so you can't choose any of the profiles from those program's print option boxes.
    The only solution is to locate the profiles in the /Library/Printers/ folder and move all profiles to either the /Library/ColorSync/Profiles/ folder, or the Profiles folder in your user account. You want to move instead of copy so each profile isn't showing up twice in the Epson print dialogue box.

  • Printer Profiles Not Visible in LR4 Mac

    Hey guys, just checking to see if there is something I'm missing.
    Short version: My printer profiles are not showing up in the "choose profile" dialog in LR4.
    Long versioin: I'm trying to print an image from LR4 to my Xerox Phaser 8560 using a custom color profile I created with my ColorMunki. However the profile isn't showing up in the "choose profile" dialog box. There is also no apparent way to open a dialog box to search for the file. The profile is recently created. Works in Indesign CS4. It's located in the main Library/Colorsync/Profiles/ and my user (~/Library/Colorsync/Profiles/). It doesn't show up even when checking the "include display profiles" checkbox which is the only option available.
    System: iMac 27" 3.4Ghz i7 16G Ram; Xerox Phaser 8560DN; LR 4.0
    Am I missing something here?
    Thanks,
    Jason

    You likely made a CMYK profile for the printer and LR doesn't support CMYK profiles. You'll have to remake the profile to be an RGB profile. ColorMunki can do that although it'll default to CMYK unless you override that...

  • Quadtone ICC print profiles not found in CS6

    I have several ICC profiles installed in the Colorsync>Profiles folder. They are QTR ICC profles for B+W printing. CS5 sees these profiles when assining  custom profle for  soft profing and when choosing a profile for printing.
    CS6 finds the profles in the pulldown window only when soft profing. They are missing from the list of profiles in the printing menu. If CS5 can find them why not CS6. Are hey in a diferent location?

    I am trying to get to the bottom of some differences between photoshop 5 & 6. This post allows me to bring up my previous beta post:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4291149#4291149
    I am curious to know if there are some new rules in CS6 with sending printing through the colorsync (apple) pipeline.
    The above image shows that photoshop may be calling on colorsync to find attached profiles. My 9880 has no attached profiles by my other printed had this in the color sync area. It seems to me there is a lock down on the profiles to be used. This at least is my current standing interpretation based on other forums reading.
    But the other question is the profiles below the line. Where are they stored and where can I add my custom profiles to that list. Based on my previous beta post, I still believe there is a different policy on how adobe works in the printing pipeline. Ive been printing fine art large format prints for about 4.5 years always using photoshop as the color handler. It seems now the big boys at apple are trying to further their control by looping this through colorsync (if im correct).
    I know the last post on the beta page, I was asked to provide the profiles in question:
    https://www.dropbox.com/sh/8vl1ql6dypxngn5/NiMrBSLiO1
    Those are my profiles I am using now. My machine is the latest Mac OS and latest epson 9880 drivers.
    Ill supply any more information to get to the bottom of this strange issue.

  • Which printer profile do I use?

    I have a Epson Stylus Photo R360 printer connected to a Intel Mac running OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard.  I am currently using Adobe Lightroom 3 as my main image browser and would like to know what the correct profile is to use to gain desirable prints when using Epson Premium gloss paper.  At the moment I am trying to print Canon CR2 camera raw image files and find that when I try to output these they come out very dark and over saturated.  If I just use the "managed by printer" option and then the "layout" option in the print dialogue, I get better results but not perfect! Do I need to set up a different print profile within Lightroom?  If I turn off "managed by printer" in the Lightroom dialogue I get many profiles to choose from (see below) so would appreciate it if you could advise me on this.  I have turned off the printer management as shown below - if this is correct! Other than trying out each profile on the list I don't know what to do. I would greatly appreciate any help on this please.

    First, I second the previous post that your monitor needs to be calibrated and most important that the brightness is not set too high.
    Even if your monitor has been calibrated, the brighntess might still be too high. Strangely enough, some calibration softwares recommend a brightness that is too high.
    Your monitor brightness should be set to between 100 - 120, or else your prints will come out too dark.
    Secondly, when you select "managed by printer" make sure that in the printer's dialog you select proPhoto RGB. By default most printers (I don't know the Epson R360) are set to sRGB.
    LR by default (and it cannot be changed) uses proPhoto RGB (or to be precise a color space derived from proPhoto RGB).
    When you select "managed by printer", LR sends the image file to the printer as proPhoto RGB and the printer interprets it as sRGB. The result is a print that is overly saturated.
    So in a way you have to make sure that LR and your printer speak the same language. You can do it in two ways:
    1) Let LR manage the colors by selecting a profile for your printer AND the paper you are using. You then have to switch off your printer's color management by selecting "Application managed" (or similar wording) in the printer's dialog.
    2) Or you select "printer managed". In your printer's dialog you then have to select proPhoto RGB, or Adobe RGB but NOT sRGB. The prints will probably not be optimal when your printer's dialog does not give you the option of proPhoto RGB. If you have Photoshop, you could change the color space of your image to Adobe RGB or even to sRGB and thus achieve that your imgage's color space and the printer's color space match exactly.
