Any advice for an alternative FREE source or how to overcome this will be greatly appreciated..🙏 here https://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/iccprofiles/iccprofiles_win.html . 

 Hello, for an eyetracking experiment, I would like to determine the luminance value/brightness of different digital pictures and equalize these values. Does this function exist in Photoshop or another Adobe Program and if yes, how does it work? Is it also possible to determine the luminance value/brightness of a video?Thank you very much in advance,Katharina

Greetings,    Is there a way to compare Gamut and Luminosity Coverage (3D models) for different Printer/ Paper combinations? The input data would be ICC profiles that I can download from Paper manufacturers such as Hahnemuhle or Ilford for specific printers such as the Epson SC P900 or the Canon Prograf Pro-521.    Thanks in advance for your time.Regards,RD    

I have a Dell UP3017 and U3011. Both have presets for SRGB, Adobe RGB, and a custom color setting. The two RGB presets do not allow for any RGB or white balance adjustments and even with ICC profiles are WAY off in color and white point (Delta E of 10 to 20). The custom color setting has full white balance and color controls however the gamut in that mode is wide gamut. I am wondering how to properly setup my Windows 8.1 color management settings to get that custom color mode to be sRGB instead of wide gamut. Any ideas? The U3011 is not able to be calibrated using DUCS. also where is some good repositories for ICC profiles and monitor settings? Thanks

Hi all,  I have been getting along fine editing text and changing colours on psd docs. But for some reason I can't anymore. I cant change the text colour by selecting text and changing the colour. And I can't do it by using a colour overlay.  Has anyone had any similar issues? Or any advise on how to fix this? Sasha

Hi, I thought I understood my color management settings clearly better than I actually do. I have a document in illustrator, set sRGB, using a background grey that is #ededed. I have that placed in a Photoshop sRGB file and the value is not identical when inkdropped (it's inkdropping as #ececec). Now, given that they are both RGB docs using the same sRGB color profile, shouldn't the color appear identical, regardless of if the preferences are to converted to working space, or preserve embedded profiles? My current Bridge profile I created has "preserve embedded" for both RGB and CYMK and is referencing my built color preferences file.  Thanks,Mike

Hi color management folks,I'm looking for a good color combination to use for an outdoor kiosk that will be used in day or night.Any recommendations?Thanks,Paul 

After using the Spyder Pro on my monitor ViewSonic VP2785-4K 27. It says it has set a calibrated profile on my monitor. It also says it read 100% SRGB and 99 % Adobe RGB. So far so good right. I use my monitor 90% for photo editing in Adobe Photoshop CC. So my question is once the monitor is calibrated as a custom profile do I simply leave it on that mode or do I now go back and select one of the several custom buttons presets on my monitor such as Adobe RGB or SRGB when working in a program like Photoshop. Does the calibration correct these mode presets as well or do I now no longer need to use any of them? In photoshop I'm working in Adobe RGB then I convert down to SRGB for web but embed the colour profile of Adobe RGB. So my thinking is after calibrating the monitor do I need to switch back to the Adobe RGB preset tab on my monitor to get true color representation whilst editing or do I leave it all on custom mode and edit as usual.I hope this question makes sense.

HiI have new xrite i1display Pro Plus device. Monitor spec Gamma 2.2, 160cd target...what i see in indesign is way off what i see on desk. now i use pantone printed palette for color matching.how to calibrate monitor to what i see on desk?today i will receive i1studio if this can help.

I received a logo file, but no information of the colour values. The colour values are needed for further work flow. Now, when I use Colour Picker to define the colours in RGB and CMYK, the values are different in Photoshop and Illustrator. Especially RGB varies a lot. How do I get best results?And when I then change the original tif-file to .ai, what colour profile would be the smartest choice?The original logo is in CMYK format. 

Hi i am looking for Adobe CMYK profile to download but getting error the whole time

We have 2 brand new Apple Mac's with Catalina, and the most recent Mac sent to us is with Bigsur.  The Catalina Macs run perfectly with Photoshop.   The Bigsur Mac not so much as we can't dial in our colors on the printers.  We use Epson F170 sublimation printers, which won't offer the same color options with Bigsur as we get with Catalina.  We have played with the settings however find ourselves at an impasse as we need print consistency for production. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Hello.I have a problem with my adobe programs for a while now. All of them somehow darken my opened files and I don't know why. I did not touch the programs for a while and after I went back for the vacation and wanted to work on my files suddenly all programs changed there settings. I have some image example with my Adobe Acrobat and one of them opened in Google Chrome. It Is the same document but the one opened in Acrobat is much darker color for no reason. It is like that in all programs Photoshop, Illustraitor and InDesign. Is there anyone out there who would now what I did or can do to fix this problem? It is not really helpful when I want to work with colors. Thank you in advance!

Applications do not keep color synchronization set in Bridge. Synchronization remains active for some time, but then fails. I have reset the preferences of every single application and I have also tried to reinstall the applications, but I still have this problem.In my work I have to open files created by other users: it shouldn't be, but it seems that opening files with different color settings will corrupt the synchronization.Thank You very much, for Your help.

I was having a problem today with a photo changing colors between PS and AI. I have their color management settings synced. Thru trial and error, I found that saving it as a tif instead of a png solved the problem. A bit of Googling suggested that profiles are not supported in pngs in Adobe applications. Is this true? If so - why?

How can I resolve that ?Thanks for your help

First of all, let me say that I don't believe this is possible even with the most current version of Photoshop, but maybe I am wrong and that is why I am posting this question! NOTE: Some printing companies in the United States are now accepting Adobe RGB files for printing standard prints. Right now I am using McKenna, and I'm getting outstanding results! I've made some composite templates already in Adobe RGB, but I also have some templates that I've purchased previously that are in sRGB which brings me to my question. Can Photoshop effectively convert a sRGB file to Adobe RGB? Again, I wouldn't think so. I guess anything is possible in this digital world of ours, but my thought is how can something be created by something that isn't already there. It's easy to understand how Adobe RGB is converted to sRGB. The reason I ask is that one group that supplies sRGB templates says just convert from sRGB to Adobe RGB  in Photoshop.1) Sounds like people will say

Hello everyone, I have this problem which has been touched upon before, as I have seen. This is what happens: 1. I shoot RAW, develop my RAWs in Lightroom or CameraRAW, then process them in Photoshop. All of that work is done in Adobe color space, both in the camera and the software.2. I save the processed photos as TIFFs.3. I then export a JPEG version from the TIFF, using the "Save for Web" option. I check "Convert to sRGB" and, as the JPEGs is intended for internet use only, I select "Internet Standard RGB (No colormanagement)" as Preview. The exported JPEG retains basically the same colors as the TIFF, all is good. If I ever need to reopen that TIFF to export another JPEG from it, using the same settings, everything is still fine.4. The problem arises when, for some reason, I do not go back to that TIFF (which may be archived on another drive), but open the previously exported JPEG again, for example to create another one of a different size: then, the JPEG that opens in

I'm not sure if this is the best place to post this but it's colour related so I figured it's close enough. I'm investing in a monitor very soon and have narrowed my search to two. The LG 32UN880 and the Lenovo P32u. The LG covers 95%DCI-P3 colour space whereas the Lenovo covers 99.8% sRGB, 99.7% Adobe RGB and 95% DCI-P3.I'm a motion graphics designer who's graphics predominantly go to air on HDTV, which is Rec.709 colourspace with the odd bit of gfx work on the internet (company homepages, Vimeo, YouTube etc)I've got a couple of questions that I'm hoping someone can help me out with. 1. Can I get away without having a monitor that covers Rec.709 (I understand sRGB is similar?) 2. As I work in broadcast television GFX should I rule out the LG (DCI-P3) as it doesn't cover sRGB or Rec.709.3. If I were to buy a calibration kit, take the Spyder for example (https://spyderx.datacolor.com/shop/) can you calibrate a monitor that covers DCI-P3, to Rec.709 for instance.&nbsp

First, let me say that I know how to calibrate! I successfully calibrated my 10-year-old NEC for years, and won numerous awards locally including a best of show that had over 600 entries. I am using a PC.I purchased this Eizo CS2420 on March 13, 2019, and received it on March 15, 2015. This unit came with Eizo’s version of the Spyder 5. (I used a Spyder 3 on my NEC.) This Eizo is being used on a PC, Windows 10.I cannot get this unit calibrated to get acceptable prints! My biggest fault was not returning it…shame on me!!! Eizo kept insisting that there was nothing wrong with the monitor, calibration device, and software.If anyone out there has a miracle cure for me and this Eizo monitor, don’t be afraid to contact me: Julius Titak.Note: I have tried just about everything out there in an effort to resolve this issue! What I’ve learned is that every monitor is different. Some people say that Contrast Ratio is the key…maybe for some monitors, but not all. Once Contrast Ratio is really unde

Hi...I have a long standing issue with Illustrator colour being dull which is more obvious when veiwing and printing the same image in photoshop. This is irrespective of files being CMYK or RGB. I have manually checked that all my colour settings are the same but this has made no difference. I have tried synchronising the settings through Bridge which tells me all my CC applications are synchronised. However I have noticed that apart from not fixing the problem Illustrator says that my CC applications settings are not synchronised. What's more, if I manually set the settings to the saved profile for Photoshop the Color Magement Policies box for CMYK sets to Preserve Numbers rather than preserve Embedded profiles, which is what it should be.I am using Illustrator 2020 and Photoshop 2020 and working on a macbook pro if that makes a difference.Any suggetions would be hugely gratefully received as its driving me mad.ThanksNeil

When I insert a photo to discover its color in the Adobe color circle https://color.adobe.com/es/create/color-wheel, the CMYK settings provided do not match the color I see in the photo on my screen. Why is this happening and what color to trust?

Not sure if I'm posting in the right place, but I am having an issue with getting the exact colors for my business branding that I see in Acrobat Pro DC to print. When the correct colors I see in the pdf are printed, the colors become significantly dull. I do not believe this is an issue with my HP Laser Jet and I've tried exploring information on Tools > Print Production > Convert Colors, but I am not certain if this is the right route and the difference among the various Conversion Profiles.  Thank you! 

I'm Graphic design student and I have a qeustion for the color management. When I use spot color in illustrator, how can I bring it into InDesign? InDesign color panel doesn't support spot color that I was looking for and when do we need to use process and spot colors at the same time?
