Using an ICC Profile

When using a specific ICC profile in the develop module and making adjustments toward a photo that I want to print, what do I need to do in the Develop Module to ensure that it is saved as a new image that is specific to only that ICC profile so that I can then select it in the print module to print?  For example, after I've gone to View>Soft Proofing> etc....what do I need to do to make certain that all my changes/adjustments are saved?

Once you are happy with your settings and your proof, click the button (under the histogram) to save a proof copy. That will automatically create a virtual copy, next to your original in the library. In the information strip above the filmstrip it will have the profile name attached to the file name e.g. IMG_1234.dng/sRGB. It will also show on the thumbnail.

  • No preview in FCP X when using custom icc profiles

    Hello,
    since I switched to Lion 10.7.4 from Snow Leopard I have no preview when I want to playback videos from the event browser. I calibrated my Eizo Display with the latest ColorNavigator6 software using a Spyder4 device. The generated Eizo icc profiles are version 2.2. My second display is calibrated with the Spyder Pro4 Software. This icc profile is v2.4.
    What I found out so far:
    - I open System Preferences > Displays > click on "Color" tab and check "Show profiles for this display only". When I change to a profile that is listed everything works fine. But my custom icc profiles both are not available now.
    - when I uncheck "Show profiles for this display only" my custom icc profiles get listed. When I select one of them Final Cut Pro X (10.0.5) doesn´t preview anything and hangs.
    - I compared my custom profiles with one that is listed "for this display only" using ColorSync. The only difference that I found were some missing and different tags in the custom profiles.
    Do I have to modify my profiles to work with calibrated Displays in FCP X? How / what do I modify?
    Regards, Thomas

    So how does color managment work in FCP X when I can´t calibrate my monitor or use icc profiles from a calibration software?

  • Elements 7 - Using Custoim ICC Profiles when Printing in Editor

    I have downloaded some custom ICC profiles specific for some papers I use. They are there - I can select the profile printing from the organizer - Color Management>Print space - but they do not appear in the list of options if printing in Editor. Am I forced to print thru Organizer now?

    >When you open the box in Editor>Print for the ICC profiles, the box doesn't scroll easily. You have to hold the left mouse button down as you scroll to see the entire list.
    Try moving the Print window all the way to the left. If you have a small screen, move it further so that the left half of the Print window is off-screen. Then you should be able to see the scroll bar of the drop-down list of profiles.
    This bug was identified in PSE 6, and I had thought it was fixed in PSE 7. But evidently not I was just able to reproduce it on my laptop.

  • ICC profiles - never used what have I been missing?

    Up until now I have never used separate icc profiles but have had to download all new drivers from epson to run my scanner and printer on new Intel Mac OSX 10.6. therefore it has given me the option to download the profiles.
    Any advise for using them, can you turn them off - will i never want to turn them off?
    What do they do exactly?
    I may sound daft to many but unless I ask I dont learn, many thanks in advance.

    Good advice so far and it is good that you ask these questions.
    You asked earlier about your Epson printouts matching a print shop. It helps to understand color management as a communication chain. In the case of images, this is an ideal workflow:
    1. Digital image is captured in RAW
    2. Photographer converts RAW data into an RGB image. The result is referred to as a source image. It should have an embedded RGB profile, for example Adobe RGB 1998. To see if it has an embedded profile, look at the document title in the window.  If you don't see # at the end, the image has a profile, which is good. If you do see #, you have a broken image, and it's up to you to get the derailed train back on track. If the image looks good to you (on a properly calibrated and profiled monitor) tagging an untagged image is an easy task. Edit: Assign Profile, and select your working RGB.
    3. The source image gets converted to the printer's CMYK color space, also represented by an ICC profile. This should be supplied by the printer. You do have the option of leaving the image RGB and letting Quark do the conversion when you output. Quark color management is somewhat more complicated to setup than InDesign CM, let me know if you have questions.
    4. To soft proof how the image will look on press, first calibrate and profile your monitor with the proper hardware and software. Then open the RGB image in Photoshop. View: Proof Setup: Custom, and select the CMYK profile supplied by the printer. The colors may shift some but that is to be expected, a CMYK color space is usually much smaller than most RGB color spaces.
    5. To proof an image on your Epson that will closely match the press, you can calibrate and profile your Epson (best) or use the canned factory profile corresponding to the paper loaded in the Epson. This profile is actually an RGB profile (the printer is not RGB but the profile that describes it is). Open the RGB image. In the print dialog under Color Management, choose "Proof." Color Handling, "Photoshop Manages Colors." Printer profile, select the Epson profile. Proof Setup, select the CMYK profile supplied by printer. Check "Simulate Paper Color"
    When you print, print Photoshop will perform two conversions behind the scenes. First your RGB image goes to the CMYK color space. Then the CMYK image is converted to the Epson profile using an Absolute Colorimetric rendering intent.
    Unfortunately I don't believe Quark has the ability to perform two conversions on output. So if you need to proof a Quark page it's a matter of conversion to the printer's CMYK when you export the PDF. Then you can print the CMYK PDF to your Epson from Acrobat, using Acrobat Color Management and selecting the appropriate Epson profile.

  • All my prints using: Lightroom 5, printer color management turned off, and non-generic ICC profile (e.g. Epson Premium Glossy) have magenta tint or cast

    I'm using PC with: Windows 8.1, 64bit, Lightroom 5.4, Epson R3000, 6.75 (latest) driver, color management turned off in printer settings, Lightroom configured to manage color.  If I use a generic ICC profile such as Epson sRGB, the prints look OK.  But when I use any ICC profile dedicated to my paper and printer combination, such as Epson Premium Glossy, or one created using ColorMunki print profile, the prints all have a medium to heavy magenta tint or cast.  The effect can be seen before I even print in the Epson Print Preview.  Yet when I soft proof, I don't see this effect.  I suspect the problem lies somewhere in the CMM process, but I can't pin it down.  Any tips or suggestions are appreciated.

    Thank you kindly for your insightful response.  As it turns out, the answer is half correct.  I've found others who'll say the same thing, that double color management will lead to a very magenta result.  I believe this was certainly the case when I first started playing with the settings,  Where I went wrong, is that after I corrected my settings by turning off printer manages color and letting Lightroom do the color management, is that the Epson Print Preview was still showing magenta with certain profiles.  Not wanting to waste more money on paper and ink, I used the preview to gauge whether I was going to get a normal print or not.  Then one day I ignored the print preview's magenta cast as a 'warning' and I went ahead printed the photo anyways.  Because I used a profile that I created with ColorMunki Photo, the picture came out perfect (i.e. a very good match to what I was seeing in Lightoom on my monitor).  The lesson learned is that for judging the final color correctness, the Epson Print Preview can be way off target and your best bet is to ignore it.

  • HT204135 Printing using ICC profiles

    I have an Epson R2000, and am using Hahnemuhle paper. Have downloaded various ICC profiles and can see to nominate a specific profile with the chosen printer (R2000). After  pressing  "print",  the screen asks what preset I want to use. When I use the show details to see what is in the profiles they are all the same, and none show that I want to use a Hahnemuhle ICC. So how do I set up a new preset?. How in any case can I be sure the printer is in fact using the ICC profile nominated? Thanks for any tips.

    Hi
    I'm new to Macs and also have a Pixma Pro 9000. When I used to use it with Photoshop CS2 on a PC I got used to turning off color management in the driver, but as you point out, this isn't an option in the Canon OS X driver.
    What I have noticed, though, is when I select "photoshop manages color" in the Mac Photoshop CS3 Print dialog box, then delve into the Canon driver settings, Color Matching drop-down menu, although the options are greyed-out, ColorSync is the selected option.
    Then, if I specify "printer manages color" in the Photoshop Print dialog box, when I go to the Canon driver Color Matching drop-down, though still greyed-out, it now has "vendor matching" selected.
    This suggests to me that, in fact, the equivalent to the "do not color manage" option in the Windows Canon driver is "ColorSync" in the Mac driver. Maybe there is better communication between Photoshop and the Canon driver on the Mac than in Windows, so when you tell Photoshop (Mac) to control the color management it automatically sets the driver to the correct setting? This is all speculation, as I'm still new to the Mac way of doing things, but maybe try it and see what the results look like? (I usually use the Canon Easy Photo Print Pro plug-in anyway, but it would be nice to be able to control printing manually as well in specific circumstances)

  • Icc profiles / specifications for coloursync

    Hi all,
    I want to use icc profiles for exporting Quicktimes with the filters/coloursync option.
    I've installed one in /library/coloursync/profiles/display, which shows up in the coloursync software.
    Coloursync checked it and there was no problem.
    BUT, it desn't show up in the quicktime export settings dialog under the filters/coloursync!
    What's the problem? PCS is lab, Version is 2.3.0     --> can this be the problem, because
    all other icc profiles I checked had PCS in xyz.
    Here is a downloadlink for the profile: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7893244/Alexa_ASA800.icc
    Thanks for your help!
    Best regards
    Gerhard

    Hello,
    That's not true. You can use a ICC profile in Finalcut via Effects/Filter/Colorsync.
    There you can use ICC profiles in videoworld.
    Also there is a tool, called "Alexicc" (http://www.lightillusion.com/alexicc.htm), which
    allows to use icc profiles (converted from LUTs) to burn into videomaterial
    (in this case prores 444, logC from ARRI Alexa camera)
    I have also found a way to convert a LUT into an icc profile (see link above), but the
    problem is, as I described, that the icc profile is recognized by the colorsync program
    of MacOSX but is not in the list for the colorsync plugin in fcp. So I wanted to know
    if there are any kind of problem with the specs of the profile.
    Maybe you know the right specs or/and a program to convert icc profiles?
    Best regards

  • ICC Profiles and PSE3.0 - How to Needed?

    I recently bought a monitor calibrator, and I am quite satisfied that what I see on the monitor is the way I should be seeing it. I've printed a few prints with my Canon Pixma 4000, and the prints are almost exactly the same as what I see on the monitor. So, as far as using my printer, I am pretty satisfied with the workflow/color management.
    As a test, I sent a photo to Adorama, and I chose to use no ICC profile or color correction. I just picked up the print from them, and it is noticeably different from my other prints and the monitor. Basically, it appears to be darker, which of course renders the colors slightly different shades and the saturation different than what I started with. It is a nice print, but not true to my original.
    So, I assume the missing ingredient was the ICC Profiles I could have downloaded from them; a different one for each of their paper choices. Please help me understand when I embed this profile in my workflow, and how it works. Can I do this at all in PSE 3.0?
    Does it get embeded early in the process, in which case what I see on the screen is different than if I didn't use a profile; or, is it embeded in the end of the process, and only used as a set of instructions for their printer?
    I think I'm oh so close to understanding this process.

    Steven,
    Most photo labs are set up to process sRGB images, NOT Adobe RGB images. In
    fact, most commercial printers either do not read embedded profiles or
    ignore them.
    If you are going to send an image to a commercial printer without using the
    labs custom icc profiles you should be working in sRGB and send them an
    sRGB image. If you do want to use the labs custom icc profiles, you must
    have software that can convert the image to the selected profile. Elements
    cannot do that.
    I'm going to give you a link to Dry Creek Photo
    (http://www.drycreekphoto.com/icc/using_printer_profiles.htm) that has some
    pointers for using custom profiles with commercial labs. Especially read
    the info at the bottom under "Example color managed editing and printing
    workflow". They also have pointers to some utilities that can do the
    conversion.
    Dry Creek Photo creates custom profiles for commercial printers and, in
    fact, lists Adorama in their profile database. Here's the entry:
    a.. "Adorama Pro-Lab Inc.: 42 West 18th St., New York, NY 10011 Phone:
    888-216-6400
    a.. Store info: Noritsu 34-Pro, Kodak papers.
    b.. Royal Glossy paper profile, June 26, 2006
    c.. Endura Lustre paper profile, June 26, 2006
    d.. Royal Matte paper profile, June 26, 2006
    e.. Mac OS 9 format version (both profiles) See usage note.
    f.. Note: This printer uses our enhanced accuracy custom profiles.
    g.. Note: Adorama has multiple printers. Specify that your profiled
    prints run on the Noritsu 34-Pro.
    h.. For more information, please contact Adorama Pro-Lab "
    Using custom profiles or not using them and using just sRGB should only make
    subtle differences. Gross changes would suggest that you have something
    wrong in your settings and/or calibration. You have a calibration device,
    which is good, but what are your Elements color settings? While you can
    never get a perfect match between monitor and print, you should be able to
    get a reasonable and consistant match. It's also possible that Adorama is
    doing something that's affecting the print. If you are sending an sRGB
    image that views ok on your system using something other than Elements and
    it comes back from Adorama significantly different, it could be on their
    side.

  • Preflight - for specific ICC-profile in images

    Hi there
    This sort of has my head spinning.
    Is it possible to do a pdf analysis to check that all images use a specific icc-profile(FOGRA27)?
    I know it can be done in many different ways(Output Inspector for one) and by using the PDF fixup that converts to CMYK only.
    But I cant seem to create a profile that targets that specific issue without applying fixups.
    Basically I just want a list of images that are not in FOGRA27. Not a list of non-CMYK/Spot or similar. Can this be done in Acrobat 9?
    I'm aware that ensuring can be done in many ways earlier on, but I need it to be done in Acrobat. Guess it has become a challenge now. :-)
    I also need to figure out whether this can be done in the preflight in InDesign CS4.

  • Why can't I save an icc profile to a template?

    Why can't I save an icc profile to a template?

    Just tested it... LR5 on Win7 correctly remembers the ICC profile settings in the print templates. Furthermore, internal settings of the printer driver (if printer-level color mgt is used) should be remembered, too (I didn't test this now). Which LR-version/OS are you using? Perhaps others can reproduce the problem.
    Or do you mean why ICC profiles can't be embedded diretly in the print template file, e.g. to transfer them to another computer? This would be difficult because ICC profiles have to be "formally" installed in the operating system before use. Although LR could be able to use "local" profiles I suppose (but that wouldn't be a "clean" use of ICC profiles).

  • LR crashes when managing printer with ICC profile

    Hi,
    I'm printing on an Olympus P-11 thermic printer, using a custom ICC profile (Mac OS X). This works perfectly with all versions of Photoshop, including CS3. LightRoom just crashes when trying to use this profile (or any other profile)...
    extract from crashlog :
    Version: Adobe Lightroom 1.0 (310575)
    PID: 622
    Thread: 0

    I've tried this on two different computers (Apple G4 and G5), one runing an english version of LR, the other running a french localized version. Same result, and Photoshop prints flawlessly on both...
    The problem is definitely in LR.

    Nicolas,
    I have exactly the same problem on a quad G5, Os X 10.4.9. Lr crashes when trying to use an ICC profile to print to a networked HP B9180. Printing using 'Managed by Printer' doesn't cause a crash (but is obviously not a workaround, due to the less favourable colour output). Deleting preferences and re-creating the library doesn't help.
    My crash log looks the same as the snippet you posted. I have filed a bug report.
    However after I filed the report, I noticed that I also get the following message in the Console which may be of some diagnostic value (is there anyway I can add this info to my original bug report?):
    Adobe Lightroom[558] InkChecker could not launch , launch path not accessible

  • PS CS5 Image Display Differs From Used ICC Profile In Win 7

    Hi,
    on my Windows 7 Ultimate x64 machine, I just calibrated my Dell SP2309W monitor using an i1DisplayPro and basICColor 5, creating a ICC v2 profile (I am aware of the problems under Windows with ICC v4 profiles).
    It created the ICC profile and applied it to be used by Windows. I double checked under COLOR MANAGEMENT that the new ICC profile is being used. Although I can see that the new ICC is being used (desktop appearance changes), there are a few issues I am experiencing:
    (1.) Windows Photo Viewer
    The thumbnails in Windpows Explorer look fine (they DO use the new ICC profile), when I double click a jpeg and open the image it DOES NOT use the new ICC profile. When I click the PLAY SLIDESHOW button (starting the slideshow) in the opened image in Windows Photo Viewer, the images DO use the new ICC profile.
    (2.) Internet Browsers
    All current internet browser (Firefox, IE, Safari and Chrome) DO use the new ICC profile and display the image correctly.
    (3.) Photoshop CS 5
    When I open the same image - that Windows Photo Viewer does not correctly displays (according to the new ICC profile) - in Photoshop CS5, I get the same image display that Windows Photo Viewer gives me (when not thumbnail or not in slideshow mode) - it appears to be the sRGB display.
    My color settings in PS CS5 are: North America General Purpose 2 > sRGB IEC 61966-2.1.
    When I go to View > Proof Setup > Monitor RGB I get the image display using the new ICC profile.
    Why does the image look different in PS than my calibrated monitor should output ?
    I was under the impression (please correct me if I am wrong), that the sole purpose for calibrating my monitor was to get a uniform display across (ICC aware) applications. Even when one applies different color spaces to a document in PS, I thought the output on my calibrated screen done by the graphic card should always be according to my calibration and the settings in the ICC profile being used.
    What Am I doing wrong or what am I misunderstanding ?
    Any help or input is appreciated !
    Thanks.

    Hello,
    A note on monitor calibration: calibrating your monitor will not guarentee that every application will display color correctly, it's more of a step along the pipeline, and for the preview part of a color workflow it's the last step.  Here's how color translation follows for an ICC workflow when previewing to a monitor:
    Image Color Numbers > Document Tag or Workspace Profile > Monitor Profile
    For non-color managed applications, if the original document is or isn't tagged with a color profile it will be translated directly to the monitor profile anyway.  This is the equivalent in Photoshop of selecting "Monitor" in soft proofing.  Selecting monitor in softproofing will bypass the tagged or workspace profile to translate colors directly through the monitor profile.
    For most automatic color managed applications (like Firefox), the image will be translated through the tagged profile and then sent through the monitor profile.  If the image is untagged or the profile is unrecognized, the colors get sent directly to the monitor profile.
    For Photoshop, a tagged document will have its profile respected and then sent to the monitor.  An untagged document will be assigned the workspace profile, which acts like a temporary document profile, and then gets sent to the monitor.  This is often why users will notice Photoshop behaves differently from other applications.  It's usually a case of the workspace coming into play.  By default the workspace profile is set to sRGB.  You can change this in Edit > Color Settings.
    The purpose of the workspace is originally for printing workflows, as a way of keeping consistant color translations when dealing with both tagged and untagged documents.  For web output workflows it can be useful for viewing everything through sRGB, which is typical of the average monitor output (not so with newer wide-gamut monitors, another source of confusion...) combined with the fact that originally most web browsers were not color managed.  Hence viewing everything through sRGB is pretty close to what most monitors see and what untagged/unmanaged docs will look like.
    Monitor calibration is useful only because it brings your monitor output to a "known state".  In traditional workflows the monitor was always a middle-man, a preview device which was useful for getting an idea of what the printed output would look like before you print it.  Since print colorspaces are often smaller than display spaces, it's feasible and useful to narrow down the monitor/display space and calibrate it to a known state, so that even if it doesn't totally match the print, you'll get used to its differences/limitations and they'll be consistent so long as the calibration is maintained.
    For web output, your final output is often another user's computer monitor, which can have any form of behavior (most standard monitors are pretty close to sRGB, or use sRGB as an operating system workspace (default monitor profile).  Wide gamuts behave differently, but I'm not sure if there's a particular ICC space that they closely match, or if different wide-gamuts are even that close to each other in their display color spaces.
    Hope this helps!

  • How to install Epson ICC profiles using Photoshop CC?

    How to install Epson ICC profiles ussing Photoshop CC on Mac?

    Danny,
    Just stop and think for a moment. Firstly, it's not Rocket science to produce an icc profile, and does not involve the profile having to physically 'fit' into a pre-formed item such as the razor blade analogy you used.
    Secondly, If the likes of Epson and HP did produce printer profiles for all makes of paper, can you imagine how much more product they would sell. Printer companies are currently missing out on substantial amounts of income at the moment because the cost of their inks is more expensive than gold! Thus, the third party ink manufacturers - although not producing an ink as good as the original - are earning large sums of money and once again this is income loss to the major printer manufactures.  Can you imagine what would happen if certain vehicles would only run on  a specific fuel? I don't mean Diesel or Petroleum, but different manufacturers, Shell, Texaco, Murco etc.
    At the end of the day the only person who is adversely affected by this business model is us, the consumer.
    I really don't think they need you to be standing up for them Danny.
