Questions

If possible, could someone please tell me how to overcome the following issue: I’m attempting to add an image to a website.  I’d like its colour to match seamlessly with the website’s default background.  Unfortunately, I’ve been unable to achieve this. Please see the attached screenshot blow (Book image embedded into site). I’m using Photoshop 21.1.3, on an iMac (‘iMac’ default colour display).  I create the book image with a blue background of R:0 / G:120 / B:212 – to match that of the website (as highlighted in screenshot). The Photoshop Colour Profile is sRGB IEC61966 and I export as PNG sRGB. Unfortunately, when uploaded, the blue background of the book image seems slightly desaturated compared to the blue of the actual site. If anyone could help resolve this that would be much appreciated.  

The profiles for my canon printer no longer appear in the print dialog box. I have looked in the color sync folder and cannot find them. What profiles are recommended for printing to an inkjet printer from photoshop CC 2020? Do I still need the specific icc profiles provided by paper and printer manufacturers?  

I am having problems seeing colours that are low value, for example c7,m5,y5,k2 looks bright white on my screen, yet obviously when printed is grey. How can I fix this? 

For accurate display a sensor based display system calibration and profiling kit is essential. X-Rite's i1 display Pro is a decent base level offering.  When using that software you'll have the opportunity to set the screen luminance target value (what we used to call brightness) to a reasonable level, as a guide you should be aiming to get your screen to be as bright as well illuminated paper. I suggest you start with a luminance target of, say, 120 CDm2 and then adjust your calibration target value lighter or darker guided by your eyes.    Next you'll need to activate Photoshop's "soft-proofing" via menu item view / proof setup/ custom and select the CMYK icc output profile relevant to your printing condition. (as you are using CMYK values, it seems -it's vital that you're actually working on your document in the right CMYK colour space too) In the proof setup/ custom dialog checking "ink black" will reduce black intensity as guided by the press pro

Hi Guys, Which settings do I change to get what I see on the screen printed? I have a Mac desktop and there does not seem to be any colour setting for the printer (that I have found yet). Photoshop has an abundance of settings, but none seem to fit the 5520 printers. Prints are printing with good colour match, but much darker than the screen - the attached picture shows a hand-held print to the right of its screen counterpart. I am sure this is user (i.e. me!) error, but I have hunted the web and forums and not found a solution yet.

Hi all, I'm just getting started on a fairly new printer setup that I have and would like to use with Photoshop. However, I seem to be having an issue with every image printing a lot darker that how they appear on Photoshop and have a slight purple tint.I've searched these forums and have found a few other articles with similar issues. I've tried following solutions in these articles, including correctly setting the colour handling, but very little seems to change. When test-printing the same image with Preview, the image prints much closer to the original, but Preview's settings are slightly unclear on how it handles colour.I'm running macOS Mojave on a 27" iMac and keep screen brightness around 50%. The printer is an Epson L805.  I'd like to get to the bottom of this once and for all, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Using Dell, I got the ICC Profile invalid message first when trying to correct Photoshop’s color, I fixed it by moving the folders containing the color settings. When I updated Photoshop April or May, I realized I need to add gamma to my blend, but when I do that, I got the message again. Give me the list of solutions to take. I know solutions have been posted online but I’m lazy.

I would like to know what I can do to solve the following, I make a design with purple colors, but when I save them in JPG and see them on my cell phone, the colors become colder, for example purple turns into brown, how could I solve this problem?

Hello everyone, Thanks everyone for your time reading this. As the title says, I am experiencing a trouble with some pictures that I've took for a client. I took them in ARW with my sony a6000, totally flat/neutral pictures so I could add the colour in post-production. But the thing is, when I open the pictures, even in preview mode on the macbook they are with colour. But in the miniature, they are "flat/neutral".  I am attaching a picture of the "miniatures", you can see that two of the pictures are flat, and the two other are normal. But when I open them they all are with a normal profile with colour on it. I hope you can understand my problem. Thanks a lot for your guys time.

You might have read about the Android glitch last week. If not, the image below has crashed, and in some cases, totally frozen multiple Android devices when it is set as Wallpaper.  This article on the BBC news site has the person who took the photo talking about how he processed it.  He actually used Lightroom [spit] but I'm guessing Lightroom [another spit] has the same output options as Photoshop, and I refuse to visit the Lightroom [third spit and out] forum.  Unfortunately it does not say exactly what colour space was used.  I'd be interested to hear if someone like Dag knows what was going on here.   https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-52978884      

I noticed my images appear brighter in Photoshop compared to other programs (pixinsight, Astraimage and just opening in image preview).  This happens in grayscale and RGB color (16bit). It makes it difficult to process at times.  Are there preferences I need to adjust?  The file shows the same image in two different programs (PS is on the right).  

Is there a utility to input colour palettes into the CC library? I currently have to manually create colour swatches (in Illustrator), input them into the Library and then group them into themes. We work for a range of clients who seem to regularly update their brand guidelines and the process feels awkward. Surely there's a utility that will read Pantone, RGB and CYMK values from a colour palette and create the themes?

Hello everyone,I've run into an issue with colors in Photoshop being slightly yellow.  I've tried Photoshop CS4 and downloaded a trial of the current Photoshop CC version, both of which run into this issue.  The same photos opened outside of Photoshop (e.g., in Windows Photos app) do not have the yellow tint.  From searching online, it seems to be an issue with color profiles, but after trying to change the color profiles for my monitor in Color Management settings in Windows and making sure they are updated in Photoshop's color settings options, I still can't get whites to be white; they still have a slight yellow tinge to them.  I've tried two separate computers to see if it was computer related, to no luck.To be clear, so far I've tried:- ICC Profiles: sRGB IEC61966-2.1, monitor default profile, Adobe RGB (1998), and settings calibrated through Windows color calibration software- Within Windows Color Management Settings, I made sure each profile I tried was added

This is what it looks like, I don't know what happened and don't know how to fix it. It's been difficult color grading my works because of this glitch. Please Help.

As you can see in the print when I open any image in the photoshop, it opens different.On the left side, the image on photoshop, on the right side, the original image. Someone knows how to fix this? Its very annoying

What's going on? 😞 I opened Photoshop and typed in my company color and it looks strange (Photo 1: Photoshop 7fb0ce). So I opened a file with the known color in it (Photo 2: Photoshop 7fb0ce smile ) and Photoshop is saying it's a different color than what it should be. So I opened another file (Photo 3: Photoshop 7fadbc) and checked it in the color finder and it too is a different color number than it usually is. Confused, I opened these same two files in Illustrator and the color finder matches the file names for the colors (Photo 4: Illustrator 7fb0ce) (Photo 5: Illustrator 7fadbc). So why is Photoshop saying they're a different color? Please help!!

I have had this issue for years, and I haven't found a single solution, and I'm at my wits end. I work on an image from Photoshop, save the image as a PNG, and send it to my email or on a social platform to save on my phone. I go to look at it on my phone... and the colors are completely different. Its like my images are cursed. They look fine on a computer, but the colors drastically change. I understand that phones aren't capable of showing a wide spectrum of colors like desktop... but why does it not seem like a problem to literally anyone else where the colors change? I had to pick a random photo and edit it myself to mimic the effect it does when compared to my desktop, to mobile. First image is how it looks like on desktop/photoshop, second is seeing or saving said image to my phone... Its super discouraging to me and makes me want to quit digital art all together because after all my years of researching and trying to edit the photos myself to try to match it... I have given up.

This is why color management with icc profiles was invented.   But phones have no color management support and there's no way to control how they display things.   The best you can do is convert to sRGB IEC61966-2.1 in Photoshop. Without color management, sRGB has the highest likelihood of displaying roughly right in the highest number of different scenarios. The rest is out of your hands.

I thought I know something about color management but I ran out of ideas, hope you can help.. I have my image in sRGB, when I save it as a .jpg with the sRGB profile attached, all the aps (also those color managed ones) display the colors differently (and the difference is huge). I have color proofing switched off. The saved .jpg is beeing displayed correctly only by Photoshop (attachment 1). Now, when I try convert this sRGB image to sRGB - just to be sure that the .jpg will have sRGB profile attached - magic happens. The conversion preview shows the image with different colors (2) (but not that different as the colors displayed by other apps display (4)). But then, when I click to convert to sRGB, nothing happens and the colors remain completely unchanged (3). Any ideas why? The only way to have photoshop display colors same as other apps is to soft proof with Monitor RGB profile. As for the monitor, I'm using Eizo CX241 and it has been profiled with Color Munki Photo

Hey guys! I have noticed that recently something bad happened with my color settings in Photoshop 2020 (and Illustrator). All of the colors there are washed out and there is no difference when I swap colors from RGB to CMYK (cmd+y). Both modes look the same. I have made a few other tests and colors in other software like After Effects, Figma, or Affinity Designer looks fine. Can anyone have the same issue? I already have tried to reinstall PS and erase the settings but it didn't help. Here you got my settings:  

The image is untagged, so it assumes the RGB Workspace which is sRGB. The Safe for Web dialog shows you converting to sRGB (which does nothing as the image is sRGB) but you preview with Monitor Color.  Did you previously work in Adobe RGB possibly? What are the thre color fields’ values? 

We open the print dialog from our CEP panel and hand over the icc profile as well as the render intent. At the moment when we hand over the print space (icc) to the print dialog, the proof colors mode in the document switches to an other profile which was used sometime before. Here is the code which we use to open the print dialog.  How to avoid that the ICC profile changes in the document?    drucken : function(icc, icctext, render, rendertext, scharf){ var doc = app.activeDocument; var ps = doc.printSettings; //Drucker oder PS ps.colorHandling=PrintColorHandling.PHOTOSHOPMANAGED; // ICC muss uebergeben werden ps.printSpace=icc; // Renderoptionen if(render==="Img "){ ps.renderIntent=Intent.PERCEPTUAL; ps.mapBlack=false; } /*if(render==="Grp "){ ps.renderIntent=Intent.SATURATION; } */ if(render==="Clrm"){ ps.renderIntent=Intent.RELATIVECOLORIMETRIC; ps.mapBlack=true; } if(render==="AClr"){ ps.renderIntent=Intent.ABSOLUTECOLORIMETRIC; ps.mapBlack=false; } exec

Hi!I have some problem.PS Color profile = Adobe RGB (1998). Color mode=RGB.I set the black color R1 G1 B1 and in accordance with CMYK, so I get C91 M79 Y62 K97. But if I first enter the same code in CMYK I get R5 G5 B5. Now if I ask the RGB color R5 G5 B5 in Smuk I will be shown again another code C91 M78 Y62 K97 Why is this happening? How to understand which RGB code in CMYK best matches the code. Are there colors that translate back and forth and give the same code values?Thank you.

In the photoshop printer dialogue box, under color handling, I chose Photoshop manages color, then under the Printer Profile I would choose the profile for the epson paper I'm using. I don't see those any more. Any ideas? 

When I change 'Rendering Intent' (Color Sttings => Conversion Option => Intent) the size of the 'out of gamut' area changes (View => Gaumt Warning). Why is this? My undertsnading is that 'rendering intent' defines the method for handling out of gamut colors. I did not expect it to have any effect on which colours are in or out of gamut.
