X-Rite i1 Pro and color calibration

Will the X-rite i1 Pro work with the X-Rite color calibration software?
Cheers,
Steve

It will work with DCCS version 1.5 or higher (it should, and it has been reported to work), but it will have less accuracy than an i1DisplayPro while dealing with GB-LEDs (like these Dells).
This last statement is not Xrite or Dell's software fault, it will happen with any good calibration software and GB-LED monitors, its just a matter of Xrite's spectrophotometers hardware limitations.

  • Lion kills SoundTrack Pro, DVD Studio Pro and Color

    After installing Lion on my cloned boot drive FCP 7.0.3 runs but SoundTrack pro, DVD Studio Pro and Color return an error message indicating Lion can't run PowerPC programs. They also have a white slashed circle over them indicating they aren't compatible.
    This wasn't a widely advertised restriction of Lion prior to its release.
    I'm thankful I have a fully operating Snow Leopard installation.

    I don't know why you would have the PowerPC-only versions installed on an intel machine?  It's very weird, because they should be Universal. This may mean that you were running those apps using Rosetta under Snow Leopard, but Rosetta isn't installed with Lion. You should just re-install from the FCS3 DVD and the proper Intel versions will be placed in your Applications folder.
    I just launched every FCS3 app under Lion and they all work fine, except for Cinema Tools (which unexpectedly quit.)

    I bought a second hand Macbook Pro and colorful stud
    Only after a few months I decided to reformat it
    Bad movie started here I did not get it with a disc and I come to install the operating system
    And he asks the name of Apple's user ID financed had been bought Lion OS Now
       And who sold me does not answer then I found the phone number of his mother
    She said he lived in USA and paid him more than the lion version of the MacBook and now I can not install Lion
    And I'm not from USA

    Unless you go back to the original owner, yes you need to pay for it again.
    You're entitled to the OS that shipped with the device from Apple, but if you don't have that media there's nothing you can really do.  If the system originally shipped with 10.7 or 10.8 then when you boot it to Internet Recovery, it will automatically offer you that OS version (as the serial # is registered with Apple).  If it shipped with an older OS, then you need to enter the Apple ID that purchased 10.7 or 10.8.  You didn't purchase it so that's not you.
    The options you have are to buy Lion for $29 US (I don't know the price in Palestine), or Mountain Lion for $19 US (don't know the price in Palestine either), and install from scratch.
    And it's a good idea to know you have restore media before you reformat your machine.

  • Aperture and color calibration

    I use 17" MacBook pro and a 30" Apple display with my Aperture.
    As there're quite a huge difference in the screen output quality of these two, I'd like a little advice.
    Do I need to equal out the differences or should I just trust the 30" ?
    I'm thinking of getting a calibration tool, but I haven't done that much research.
    If I get one, like Pantone Eye 2, will this do the "trick" when using two monitors as different as 30" stand alone and 17" portable screen?

    It is always a good idea to calibrate your screen with a hardware device, as it is very difficult to judge color by eye. (A good example of the difficulty of determining color by eye can be found here: http://web.mit.edu/persci/people/adelson/checkershadow_proof.html.) Even your 30" screen should be calibrated.
    That being said, laptop LCDs are known to be difficult to calibrate, so the displays may be slightly different after calibration, but they will usually be much closer than without calibration. I calibrate my 23" ACD and my 17" laptop display, as well as a CRT display on a Windows machine.
    I use the Gretag MacBeth Eye-One photo, however I believe there are many good choices on the market today. Search the internet for reviews of brands you are considering.

  • MacBook Pro and Color

    If you'll notice on the system requirements for FCP Studio 2, Color needs a monitor that will do 1920x1080. I was at the Apple store yesterday and I'm deciding between the 15" MBP or the 17" MBP with the additional higher resolution. Here's the thing with Color: It'll work, the program will start up and you can make changes, everything is fine, but it's designed for HD color correction. If you are using a monitor that is less than 1080 it's not up to its full potential. For me that's okay, I just want to be able to edit on my laptop and do some extra stuff. I was afraid the program wouldn't even start. For me if I need to do HD accurate color correction, I'll do it on another computer.
    Just wanted to share.

    JBSFILM,
    I have a MacBook Pro 17.
    Spec. below.
    Although I am an amateur in the use of FCP studio and find the learning curve vertical, I chose a specification with the 1920x1080 screen because COLOR needs that resolution.
    COLOR is working very well on the MBP.
    I have read that graphic card in my kit is very important for the successful use of COLOR
    I do not have room for more kit on my desk.
    But video films are only for family use.
    Go for the 17 with the high res screen.
    Buy your 4 Gb. RAM from Crucial.

  • HP Laserjet Pro 100 Color MFP M175nw Print missing/faded down centre of every page

    HP Laserjet Pro 100 Color MFP M175nw. Operating on Windows 7 from my laptop wirelessly. Just bought this new a few day's ago and each page of print has about 20mm wide streak missing print running down the centre. what can I do to correct this problem? I have tried printing a cleaning page a couple of times and calibrating color from the Print Quality Menu also a couple of times but this has made no difference. I'm using a Premium quality paper for use in laserjet printer's. Could someone please advise me what I can do. Thanks in anticipation.
    This question was solved.

    Hi Watcher35,
    I see that the new Laserjet Pro 100 MFP M175NW is missing print down the center of the pages, you have ran cleaning and color calibration but the issue is not resolved.
    Would this be an accurate example of the issue: but with the "Bb" would be completely missing?
    This HP document: Resolving Print Quality Issues may take you though some of the same steps you have already done, I suggest not skipping any steps.
    If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here.

  • LaserJet Pro 500 color printing quality

    Hi,
    Last May, I bought the HP LJ Pro 500 MFP 570n printer and since then I have PQ problem.  When printed, the documents are not as what is on the screen:  B&W pictures are green and white; colour pictures are bland and too dark.
    There is no problem when scanning.
    HP provided me with Level 1 Maintenance, meaning changing yellow cartridge, changing the HV power supply, and changing the Transfer Belt.  Driver has been updated and color calibrated.
    According to Level 2 Maintenance Management, located in Bangalore, India, there is no such PQ issue.

    Color calibration may not be the only way to achieve color match output with a printer (irrespective of drivers or operating system). 
    To actually achieve WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) (i.e very close color match) you might need to use an additional software/hardware to perform color calibration between the different devices which are involved in creating, editing & printing the particular image or document (like scanner, camera, printer, monitor etc.)
    If you are looking for nearest color match using the product's inbuilt options, then you may print & use RGB & CMYK Samples (use the information menu from device control panel for printing these samples).
    Use the color mix as given in the samples while editing your documents/images.  Also try to  use the other advanced color match options available using the printer driver properties.
    Please mark the post that solves your problem as Accepted Solution

  • Send to Final Cut Pro in Color off an external Hard Drive, causes Color to Crash

    Okay, so I'm having some Color issues guys...
    I'm color correcting a feature right now, and just completed the CC with Color. I did the entire color correct on an internal hard drive on a Mac Pro. My client wanted to take a look at the CC on a different machine, so I transferred all of the FCP files, Color Projects, footage, etc. (the ENTIRE directory from my machine) onto an external hard drive....
    ...When I opened the color project from the external drive on his machine, all of my media was gone, so of course I reconnected the media (directly from the source, the same source files I edited with in FCP), and everything was fine. My grades were there, and everything looked great....
    ....I rendered my Color sequence and tried to Send To Final Cut Pro, and color crashed on me. It continued to do this....
    ....I went back to my machine and tried to Send To Final Cut Pro, and everything worked just fine. What went wrong with the data transfer? Is that the reason Color keeps crashing? Is it because I relinked the footage in Color to the original source files? It doesn't make sense to me. All of the data from the original drive was moved to an external and relinked.
    I'm pretty new to Color so any help would be appreciated. Thanks so much!
    -Chris

    Copy the original project and media to the external drive using Media Manager. It will maintain the links.

  • Huey Pro and Win7 color profil - W700

    Hi,
    I have a w700 with Win7 business and Huey Pro 1.24.
    If I calibrate the screen all works perfectly. The problem is I use the Huey profil by default for my build in screen on Win7 color management, the red are not red on Win7 image viewer or Photoshop.
    If i want something looking good i have to use the Lenovo maxbright display profil.
    If i try to reload (reload button) the Huey pro profil on windows color manager, i get an message error.
    If somebody have an idea ?
    Any help will be highly appreciated.

    Same here. Reds are way off.
    Recently I attended a colormanagement workshop by X-Rite and mentioned that problem with the Huey Pro built into some Lenovo Models. The verbal reply was shocking: The speaker (X-Rite ) knew about this problem and named Huey Pro a 'Toy' certainly not meant for serious photographers. This I heard from X-Rite, no kidding. So this feature is only a useless marketing gimmick between Adobe and Lenovo, nothing more. And we paid for it some extra $$.
    Furthermore, the same person strongly advised me to disable the built in Huey Pro and properly calibrate the screen (W701) with a professional unit in order to get correct colors.
    I followed this advice and now the colors are right and the prints come out as I am expecting them to be - no more hues and/or color casts.
    As a photographer using the W701 often and allover the place I need to calibrate it every 10 days to 2 weeks.
    For me this is a sad issue and does not raise the reputation of Thinkpads.
    Apart from that I am very happy with this powerfull machine.
    Hope this helps others to remedy their color problem with this machine.

  • CS5 Color Calibration and Printing Problems vs. CS3

    We are migrating from CS3 to CS5, and i'm working on getting the printing right.
    We are on MacPro towers, 10.6.6, with LaCie LCD Monitors and an Epson 2200.  Calibration on monitors and printer done by EyeOne Pro and Profilemaker Pro.
    Printing:  In CS3, creating the profile was done by printing the appropriate Eye One testchart.  It gets opened with 'no color management', and is printed out with 'no color management'.  This way, the testfile is being printed as the printer prints, with no tweaks.  The color adjustment controls (brightness, saturation, cyan, magenta, etc) within the Epson driver are set to Zero.  Then, this print is scanned in, using the Eye One, and you get the profile of the printer.
    Now, when printing actual files, 'Photoshop Manages Colors' is utilized, and the created Profile from Eye One is selected.
    We have had great luck with this, matching screen to print.  If a slight tweak is needed, then we could use the Epson color adjustment controls to modify slightly.
    Again, we've had great prints consistently for years using this method.
    Now comes CS5...
    Printing.  Trying to use our existing profile...
    When 'Photoshop Manages Colors' and the Profile are selected, now the Epson color adjustment controls are greyed out.  So, we lose out on the 'tweaking' possibilities.  I'm a fan of profiles, but now i have absolutely no control after the fact.
    Trying to create a new profile....
    'No Color Management' is not longer available as an option in 'Color Handling'.  So, now i can't even print out the baseline testchart without adding some sort of profile to it?  If i would choose 'Printer Manages Color' for this testpage, I would normally set the Epson Color Adjustments to Zero to get this baseline print for profiling.  But now, If I would do that, it's only going to be greyed out when i go back in and let Photoshop manage the colors.  Sheesh...
    To make matters worse...
    I pull up the same testchart in CS3 AND CS5.  We are on a calibrated monitor, using North American Prepress presets on both programs.  Same monitor, same color settings, same file.  AND the testchart looks different in each program.  Similar, but definite differences in shades.  Eyedropper readings are the same for both programs.
    So, CS5 is even rendering color differently on screen, and i have little or no way to create my custom profile or control my printer?  Sheesh....
    Any help or direction is appreciated.
    Rich

    thanks for the input.
    I will look at the links you recommended.  When 'Compensate for Scene-Referred Profiles' is unchecked in CS5, the monitors match.  I'll need to do some research to see that that 'compensation' is, and what's happening.
    As for the 'not considered a good color managed workflow'...
    That's fine.  But I would consider a good managed workflow using a calibrated monitor, and using a profile that matches the printer and substrate being used, right?  When i plug in the canned printer profile in CS5, i get unsatisfactory results.  With that 'correct' workflow, there is no way to modify what is ending up on the printed page.  You get what you get.
    Even if i back up to CS3, create a custom profile with the Eye One, run Colorsync/Profile all the way through, and eliminate the Epson Color Adjustments, I'm still obeying a 'correct' workflow, but what if my prints are slightly too Cyan?  Or slightly too open/light?  (granted, Profilemaker Pro does have a profile 'editor', but it's convoluted and extremely difficult to use.  I've never gotten good results with it.)
    If you have no way to do small adjustments at the back end on the printer, and it's been 'profiled' correctly, and the prints don't match calibrated screen with proper color spaces.... 
    uh....then what do you do?  which one is right?  The screen or the printer? 
    I've had hundreds of images over the years go from screen to client (or press if we were controlling the print phase of the job), which then got printed, and have had basically 'zero' client issues with color.  We have great color here on screen, from capture into post production.
    But when my client wants a proof, in house, they want to see what they've been seeing all day in the studio and in post.  How am I supposed to adjust my prints if a 'proper color managed workflow' isn't giving me matching proofs?
    I sincerely appreciate the input here.  I'm just frustrated, because even if my 'workflow' isn't technically correct, it's not without merits and I've had excellent consistent results that just 'worked'.  Now, i've got to find a new method within CS5.

    I am having some huge problems with my colorspace settings. Every time I upload my raw files from my Canon 5D mark II or 6D the pics are perfect in color. That includes the back of my camera, the pic viewer on my macbook pro, and previews. They even look normal when I first open them in photoshop. I will edit, save, and then realize once i've sent it to myself to test the color is WAY off. This only happens in photoshop. I've read some forums and have tried different things, but it seems to be making it worse. PLEASE HELP! Even viewing the saved image on the mac's pic viewer is way off once i've edited in photoshop. I am having to adjust all my colors by emailing myself to test. Its just getting ridiculous.

    Check the color space in camera raw, the options are in the link at the bottom of the dialog box. Then when saving make sure you save it to the srgb color space when sending to others. Not all programs understand color space and or will default to srgb. That won't necessarily mean it will be accurate, but it will put it in the ballpark. Using save for web will use the srgb color space.

  • HP LaserJet Pro 200 color MFP M276 - new - Device error and Cleaning cycle issues

    HP LaserJet Pro 200 color MFP M276 - this is a new printer a friend purchased at Staples. It connects WiFi okay and prints when prompted to but it then does a "Cleaning" cycle after every print job. It also displays "Device Error" at the same time. It has been powercycled as instructed and the error continues to reappear and the "Cleaning" cycle continues as well after each and every print job. My friend paid Staples to set up this printer to a new Acer Laptop and D-Link router he also purchased before he brought them home. He was told everything works fine .. they lied .. Laptop and router have no issues .. just the printer. The Laptop sees the printer okay and software is installed without issue. Any ideas why the "Device Error" and "Cleaning" cycle after every print job is happening? He is on the verge of taking the whole outfit back as Staples has not assisted him and instead directed him to download the manuals from HP. Any suggestions are appreciated

    Have you tried a hard reset on it? I know you said you power cycled it, but a hard reset is sometimes different than what some people consider a power cycle.
    Follow these steps to perform a hard reset on the printer.
    1. Press the Power button to turn on the product.
    2. With the product turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the product.
    3. Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
    4. Wait at least 15 seconds.
    5. Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
    6. Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the product.
    7. If the product does not turn on by itself, press the power button to turn it on.
    Try that out and let me know if it helps.
    Best of luck,
    Kyle

  • HP LaserJet Pro 100 Color MFP M175a and airport express

    Hi,
    I just bought an HP LaserJet Pro 100 Color MFP M175a and installed it via USB cable on my mac book pro. Then I connected the cable to my Airport Express (where I had before a Samsung printer working correctly) and now it is impossible to find my printer via the airport express. I tried to add it via the printers & scanners (+) but it does not appear in the list.
    Then I tried to add it via IP address but the 175a model has no IP address, which means I can put the address of the airport express but it does not communicate with the printer then...
    I really tried several options without success and would be really grateful if someone has an idea or a solution.
    Thanks in advance for your help!
    Chris

    Hi,
    Thanks for the link that is really useful. However when we follow this process, the printer is not recognized as a printer but as a scanner, which means that everytime we want to print with it, it is not possible because the scanner is not proposed as a device to print.
    On the following link http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Mac-Printing-and-Scanning/Laserjet-100-color-MFP-M175a-Mbook-Air-lion-o... we are trying to solve this problem with Provost but it seems to be more complicated than expected. So please feel free to tackle this problem with us .
