Questions

Hallo ,Ich habe einen neuen PC und dementsprechend alles neu installiert. Die Einstellungen habe ich genauso gemacht wie beim vorgänger PC inkl. speziell von Profis erstellten icc und icm Profil.Wenn ich meine Bilder normal öffne ist alles gut , aber wehe ich öffne etwas in Camera RAW . Dort wird mir das Bild in den leuchtensten Magentatönen und viel zu dunkel angezeigt(obwohl alle regler auf null). Ich habe soweit ich konnte die Farbeinstellungen in Br überprüft ,aber kann keinen Fehler entdecken.Habt ihr ne Idee?

I have a question regarding color management in Adobe InDesign on a Windows system. Is it similar to how Adobe Photoshop handles color, or does it depend on the main display settings? In my case, it seems to be dependent on the main display. I believe it should function independently of this. Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. “I have a wide gamut monitor and therefore have oversaturated colors. Thank you.

The first image I have is on the Photoshop working canvas, and the red is much brighter.And the second image is the screenshot of recent file when opening the photoshop. It is not the problem about saving or exporting the files, is just the screen showing different colours when performing on the canvas.Either is CMYK or RGB files, the colours are different. HELP!

I am attempting to use the ACPU to print a test sheet on my Canon Pixma 100S to send off to create a dedicated icc profile for the paper. When I walk through the instructions on using the Adobe Color Printing Utility the application crashes when I select the Matching Tab - see attached file.I have witnessed this before but never resolved it then either. When the tab is selected the application hangs and I am unable to close the application without quitting via Task Manager. Any guidance would be appreciated. Martin

hello, when closing a file from illustrator to PDF i received this message:version 4 icc converted to version 2 profilewhat it means and what should i do? will it affect the print?

I have found this problem where, after transferring Adobe RGB files from my camera into my hard drive that, the images are being converted into RGB and a colour profile of Display P3. I have no idea why this is happening because I am DEFINITELY shooting in Adobe RGB, yet I still have files convert themselves into RGB after transfer. Why is this? And. How can I fix it? Kind Regards,Adam

CC on a Mac, OS 10.14. How many different places might be used to store ICC Profiles? When I look at the color settings options, or go to select a printer profile in Photoshop, I see many, many items that are not in my Library/ColorSync/Profiiles or username/Library/ColorSync folders. I'd like to get rid of the useless ones.

Adobe Photoshop CC 24.7.0MacOS Ventura 13.5 I opened a PSD file and selected "Don't color manage this document", and I get the following error:"Could not complete the Assign Profile command because the file was not found." If I change it to any colour profile, I get the exact same error. No exceptions.

G’day!  When I work in prepress I primarily work for european printers, but recently we have had to provide CMYK-separated images for U.S.-printers.  One of the printers had emphasized that they employ G7 and a definitive answer on a target Color Space/ICC Profile was not very easily obtained.    Idealliance themselves state that G7 should be combined with ICC Color Management … but I am confused as to what that ultimately means concerning hard proofing (with GMG Color Proof on an Epson in this case).  Should a certified proof (SWOP, Gracol, …) be reproducible in print or does G7’s apparant focus (Neutral Print Density Curve) mean that the Lab target for specific CMYK value-combinations may acually be »overridden«, so to speak?  Does G7 amount to an additional pillar for Color Management (as set forth by the ICC) or to an ideally parallel but potentially (slightly) conflicting procedure?  May my confusion just be the result of a misunderstanding based

I entered the same color code number in illustration and Photoshop, but does HSB have different values? RGB and CMYK have the same value, but HSB is different. Fragmentally, if you enter #80949b into Photoshop, RGB and CMYK are the same values, but HSB is different from 196/17/61 (Photoshop) and 194/17/60 (illustration). Also, if you enter the color code above in the cs6 version, the three values of RGB, CMYK, and HSB are all different. It makes a difference visually, like a completely different color. Can you tell me why? I knew that each program has a different color, but why is there a numerical difference even though it's the same code number?

Hi!I am designing an airless packaging. The manufacturer requested that I picked a color from the Pantone Formula Guide Coated. However, the color I want is not there and so I played with the transparency of a color to get what I want. Just wondering if that is the best practice and how would that work on the printing side?

I am designing a matte airless bottle packaging. So naturally,  I took color references from the Pantone Solid Matte Guide. However, there is a color in the CMYK Coated Guide that I like, that is not in the Matte Guide. My question is, can I still use the colors in the CMYK Guide considering it will be used on matte packaging?

Help, pleaseHi, I'd be really exceptionally grateful for your assistance.I nowadays have a very simple photographic workflow. I shoot images in raw, do the basic manipulation on Lightroom for IOS on a IPad Pro 11 inch M2, which you cannot screen calibrate. This is really for the sake of convenience when one os on the move. However, for some of the finer work and image manipulation, Lightroom on IOS is a bit unrefined, so I always save my images from Lightroom on the Cloud as highest res Tiff files, and import them into Photoshop on my MacBook Pro, which has a calibrated monitor.The problem is that my images, while mostly color accurate open between 1 and 1,5 stops darker on Photoshop on the Mac. There are no color management settings on the IOS version of LR, and I just cannot get consistency across my devices. If I look at the same image on my phone, its somewhere in between the iPad Pro, and the MacBook - a tiny bit dark, not as dark as the MacBook, and the colours are a bit less con

 I am new to Lightroom and I am having trouble with the color I am getting with my prints. I know that to get the most accurate colors you should calibrate your monitor and mine is certainly not calibrated, but what I am having a problem with is that before I print a photo from Lightroom I see a preview of what it will look like and the colors are different from the ones I see when I soft proof in Lightroom. In this particular case I am using Moab Juniper Baryta paper in a Canon Pro-1000. I am using the color profile for the paper and the printer settings recommended by the maufacturer. In Lightroom the image looks fine, with the paper profile added, but when I go to print it the preview shows a strong green cast to the photo and when it prints out it has that strong green cast. As it is I am having to look at the preview then go back and change the colors then try to print again to check the preview and so on back and forth. Is there something I'm doing wrong? When I used the Can

Have been using LR6 for some time with a Canon Pixma Pro 9000 mark II and occasionally Elements 13 although now up to 22 version.With a test print opened in LR6 and all colour controls off it prints a perfectly coour rendered print so I know the printer is OK.I use Ilford Prestige gloss paper and ICC profiles from them and it has always been a good result.For the past couple of months I am getting a slight pink cast and slightly darker images than seen on screen when correctly set up with Ilford ICC profiles and the Canon driver correctly set and printed via LR6.I have tried soft proofing and printing that way but still the same result.Recently had a Permajet ICC profile created for a matt paper and that still prints with a slight pink cast.I have re-installed the Canon driver a couple of times but still a pink cast printing via LR6.Using Elements 13 and the latest vesion 2022 I get perfect prints!Ant ideas? ThanksJohn A   

BackgroundI create books and lesson material for Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, and more. I create and combine screenshots from any of these to combine the steps in a Photoshop file, which I then use to output high resolution PNG's.The colours used are brand colours that look the same in CMYK and RGB, and these colours are used in Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, Dreamweaver, Office applications because consistency is key.Always worked like a charm. Colour settingsAll applications are synchronised via Bridge to use sRGB for RGB and Fogra39 for CMYK.The screen uses sRGB.I tested this with AppleRGB as well but this doesn't help. Screenshot applicationI used different ones to test this such as Snip & Sketch and FastStone Capture. The result is the same: they show the colours as they are in the Illustrator file. WorkflowI will use creating an Illustrator tutorial as an example.I 'do something' such as selecting an anchor point.I take a screenshot of this.The screensh

Hi, I was told some years ago that the colour space of the development module of Lightroom was "Melissa RGB" (Prophoto with an sRGB "gamma"). According to the Lightroom user manual, it is merely Prophoto (i.e. with a gamma of 1.8). For the Library module it is mentioned as Adobe RGB. I guess the calculations are all made with a linear gamma (= 1).Am I right ? Is Melissa RGB still valid or not ? What are the gamma values of each of those ?Thanks !!

I have a BenQ SW270c which is a hardware calibrated monitor: this means the calibration software (Master Palette Element or MPE) is not running in background in Windows 11: it is just used to create the calibration profile to be stored in the monitor  itself. If I set 3: Native (or 1: aRGB) my photos in Lightroom (and in any other color managed software: Photoshop, Chrome, Microsoft Photo, Fast Raw Viewer) look correct WHILE all Windows GUI elements (i.e. icons), the photos' thumbnails in file explorer, Office etc (that is all non color managed software) look overly contrasted. If I set 2: sRGB the non color managed software look good BUT my photos in Lightroom look flat, with strange colors. Am I doing something wrong?

Hi there!! I've got some JPG pictures that mostly have been scanned, and when I print thwm out as transparencies, they look very unsaturated, and washed out! I light them from behind, with 5500K flurencent lamps, and it looks better putting a white piece of paper  behind it, and lighting it up from infront of the imagr.I've also lit the transparency from infront of a white background LED TV, and again very washed out.Should I darken the image, or what. Thanks Simon.

When using this display and color space above, is it best to convert a photo taken in the Adobe RGB 1998 space to an image with the profile "Image P3" to match the gamut of the monitor? Or is it best to leave the photo in Adobe RGB and expect to have some "clipping of colors?" I have read that the profile P3-65 represents about 85% of the colors available in Adobe RGB. This appears to especially confusing when I try to print an image.

Hi There, I'm on Mac Mini M1 OS 13.1. Acer XV272U 120 Hz 10 bit (8 bit FRC)I faced a huge mess about the color rendering of Ps ecosystem.I opened the same JPG pic. in Br, Ps, Firefox, ACR and I visibled different color rendering. See attachment.Could anybody explain me the reason of this phenomenon? Please, avoid color management tutorials. I have proper color managed system. Ati     

A4 is 210 x 297.Adobe seems to think that 210 by 26.8 will do - which is wrong.I have been fighting to print patches for my ISIS but I cannot even with tight margins. Please can we have the correct size for printing A4 from this utility ?Apple M1 UltraMacOS Ventura 13.1It is important because I build my own paper profilesSeasonal Greetings for 2022/23

Working in Photoshop and using the Camera Raw Filter - with photos taken from the same iPhone 8 on the same day. One opens right away in the Camera Raw Filter, the other I get an error message that says "ICC Color Profile of this document is not compatible with the Camera Raw Filter."They both have RGB 8 bit profiles.My work around is I convert it to CMYK and back to RGB and then it works.But it's just super annoying as I'm working with hundreds of photos....anyone else encounter this and why would it happen???

I am using RAW images in PSCS6, (Windows 11, 64 bit) and I have noticed that my image display in ACR is less saturated and flatter than the same image in Bridge & Photoshop.  This obviously causes problems when adjusting the images in ACR first.  I do apply a slight curves adjustment in ACR and the adjust for density, white balance, etc.  I can count on my image looking about 20% more saturated in Photoshop.  I clicked on "Creative Suite Color Settings" in Bridge and it tells me "Suite Color Management requires that a qualifying product has been launched at least once to enable this feature."  Is this where I address my problem?  I have a licensed copy of PSCS6.  What is wrong?

Maybe a stupid question, but what exactly is the difference between Pantone Coated and Pantone Solid Coated?
