I agree it shows an issue with your print. Can you add a screenshot of both the Photoshop print dialogue and the Epson print driver dialogue that you get when clicking on 'print setting's in the Photoshop print dialogue. Dave ... View more

In your screenshot the two ends of the gradient are transparent. If you click on the lower stops you set the colour, and you click on the upper stops to set the opacity. Set the opacity of both ends to 100%. Dave ... View more

The issue with that method is that the conversion will be to the default RGB profile set in Color Settings, which may be what you want, but equally may not. Convert to profile allows you to choose which RGB colourspace to use (or, when converting to CMYK, which specific CMYK profile). Dave ... View more

The document space (Adobe RGB) is converted to the Printer/Display space by the colour management system. Internally, my understanding is that the conversion uses the CIE Lab colour space which is device independent but is not totally linear, but I have no access to the actual calculations used. In reality that does not matter as the system takes values in the document space (Adobe RGB in this case) and converts them, using the printer/display profile, to those required to represent those colours correctly on the output device. A couple of references: https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/photoshop/using/color-modes.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIELAB_color_space   Dave ... View more

@Ko.Maruyama I bought an Xfrog library (3000 plants) in a sale a few years ago. It's very handy for landscapes and outdoor scenes with shrubs and trees. I also got the software which enables you to create from scratch or take a library model and modify it, for example to have trees that have been bent by the prevailing winds or to have more or less branches and leaves. It's probably been updated many times since, but the library I have works well for me. Dave ... View more

@crissy_0704 Your screenshot shows Photoshop Preferences. Just below those in the menu is Camera Raw Preferences. Once opened select the Default section and you will see depth - which is defaulted to 16 Bits/Channel. You can change it to 8 bit if you prefer. Dave ... View more

Your second diagram has one unnecessary step and misses out an essential step. To get a linear appearance on a printed media does not involve linear data being sent to the printer driver (or to the display). Printer ink on paper is not linear and although LED displays are close they are not exact. The printer profile (or display profile) is made by measuring what the actual output will be when values are sent to the printer (or display). So the process steps are in your second diagram are Adobe tagged RGB file > Converted output values (using the printer profile/display profile) > Printer driver conversion to ink dots (not required for display) > Linear Ink apperance on paper (Linear LED appearance). That is why it is essential to use a printer profile, or display profile, that actually maps the behavior of the particular output device in its current state.   While I would agree that 2880 is not essential for photographs, for the sharp black and white pixel intensities that you are using for your fine pixel test pattern then the more dots you use, the better.   Dave ...

I like the black and white image. It suits that record of an event style. Thanks for adding how you made it, I use the Substance apps a lot, in fact the next SFTW starter image that I'm putting together is made in 3D apps including Substance Designer and Painter, and World Creator and Xfrog and Blender...  🙂 Dave ...

Can you access them via the CC app using the 'Files' icon on the left of the app?   If that works, and the problem is the missing button in Photoshop, I would reset preferences. Save them first as detailed here: https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/photoshop/using/preferences.html Dave ... View more

You were partly right. I had clicked on your link but mistakenly downloaded the preview image not the file being previewed. I now have the correct version. The result though is the same as before. On both screen and print the gamma 1.0 strip looks the closest. It all points to taking a close look at your print driver media settings.  Make sure your media settings match those used when the ICC profile was made, and ensure you are not double profiling. One other thought, because your test strip contains fine dot patterns, make sure your print driver is set to it's highest quality (on the P5000 that is 2880 x 1440 dpi. ) Dave ... View more

Hi, I took that image and assigned the Adobe RGB profile. The only other thing I did before printing was change the ppi in Image > Image size from 72ppi to 360ppi, without resampling so that only the metadata ppi value was changed and the image pixels were untouched, to save paper. The results were the same as before, the printed output matched the on screen preview and, as expected, the gamma 1.0 strip was the closest match on both. Dave ... View more

When I tried to download that file you linked in your last post, it gave me a file with no embedded colour profile. Opening that in Photoshop gave me the option to allocate a colour profile of my choice or not to colour manage it. If choosing the latter it will use the default working space of Photoshop on the PC which opened it, which of course can vary between PCs depending on what the user has set as the default in colour settings. A file should always have a colour profile embedded. You cannot test for colour issues using a file without an embedded profile as it will give inconsistent results across devices and applications.   Dave   ... View more

The reasons were given, by Adobe, in the article linked by Ged above : https://helpx.adobe.com/ie/photoshop/kb/3d-faq.html  3D had become more and more unreliable in the later editions.

Adobe no longer reset activations. If you still have your previous computer you can deactivate on that installation (or even re-install on it then deactivate). If you do not have access to that PC and have exceeded the activation limit then it looks like you are out of options. https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/download-install/kb/activation-deactivation-help.html Note: I, like other experts in these forums, am an Adobe customer not an employee.
