With all due respect I find it offensive when people answer like this. There's no need to be pejorative. Just answer, or don't, but don't answer by cutting someone down. And I too complain here sometimes, and I hate it when someone gets all high and mighty and tells me that Adobe doesn't read this so it's not the place. Just answer and keep the snark and pejorative comments out of it. ... View more

Honestly it saves me so much time, I can't live without it. I won't lie, it has some funkiness, but overall printing is so much easier and predictable that I can't live without it. And you can rerun jobs, so it's drag and drop. The Imageprint layout window is also much better for soft proofing than PS, which isn't at all usable. I get them a pretty strong endorsement for people that print a lot. The colors between the 4900 Imageprint profiles and the 5000 profiles show a little bit more saturation of black and darker yellows but I'm only seeing it in really subtle watercolor portraits with super fine details, otherwise the two are pretty close. But our clients do want exacting color, so i'm working through the differences between the two with a small bit of shadow point compensation for the few clients that have such fine soft detail that it's an issue. And Imageprint has profiles for any paper you would be using. ... View more

i would put the file into pro photo and try again if I was getting anything close to what you're getting, but we're getting opposite results. Either way, printing from PS does not match my screen  when printing to the P5000 from PS. But when I print the same file to the Epson 4900 or the Epson 9900, my results match what I see on screen and are close to the colors I get when I use my RIP. ... View more

I tried letting the printer manage the profiles on my test to help blukenator and I tried perceptual and relative colormetric letting PS manage the colors, but all three test prints came out dark for me, which appears to be the opposite of the problem blukenator is having. My image was in the Adobe RGB 1998 color space, not pro photo, but again blukenator said that he tried several color spaces. It's interesting that he/she is seeing the colors come out desaturated, whereas I'm seeing them oversaturated, which is what I would expect with Epson's new black ink. ... View more

I have one of my mac pros on mojave 10.14.5. I also just bought a new Epson P-5000. I'm using the LLK and NOT the violet ink setting. When you buy a new Epson P-5000, the first time you use it you have to tell it whether or not you have chosen to put light light black in the light light black cartridge, or violet. I also do fine art prints, and I run a fine art print capture and reproduction studio in Seattle. I don't print from Photoshop. I use Colorbyte Software's Imageprint. And I'm on the newest Black version of Imageprint. So here's what I did. I installed the native driver for the P-5000 on the mac. I ran a print of a test/paper sample file I have that has lots of color charts and images with varied colors. I then ran it again from Photoshop, telling the print driver on the Mac to have Photoshop manage the colors. All I can say is that when I print from Colorbyte's Imageprint, I get the results I want, and the prints are as expected. The prints match what I see on screen, and the color is good. When I print from Photoshop directly to the P-5000, the print is way over saturated. The blacks are too black, and overall the colors are too dark - way too dark. Maybe 15% or so. My first test was running perceptual. I could run relative colormetric or absolute colormetric, or I could try and let the printer manage the colors, but honestly I need to get on with my day. If I have time to do it later I'll add notes to this thread. Hope this helps. ... View more

I found this thread on the internet. Media Encoder was giving me the spinning wheel with everything I did. Even checking a checkbox would cause the wheel to spin, sometimes for up to 20 seconds. I read your answer and went and checked my settings. I'm on a MAC Pro with 64GB RAM and two AMD Firepro D700 6144MB Video cards. I checked the seeings at the bottom of the render window and it was set to "Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (Metal). I changed it to "Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (OpenCL) and immediately everything was back to normal and working fast and as expected. ... View more

There is no reason for Adobe to override people's preferences with regular updates, and it's ridiculous for you to accuse me of not being professional and doing things wrong when Adobe is changing people's preferences with updates. You're the type that will blame a victim of robbery because they shouldn't be walking at night. Your comments were not helpful. ... View more

I couldn't agree more. Some of us here have been vocal about this for years now, and nothing has changed. Not only that, I've been scolded here on the forums for complaining about the LR CC and Classic CC change and have been told more than once that this is not the forum for that, to which I say "bullS$$t". This is the place.  Adobe has ruined LR. The work flow between LR Classic and LR CC is a mess. Trying to use an iPad with a camera in the field is a mess, but I've been told here in the forums that it is Apple's fault. Again, I think that's nonsense. Adobe needs to own this. Adobe needs to do user testing with real users in the field to see how the current "work flow" is a complete non-starter, and the LR CC features are wholly lacking.  I recently did a photo shoot in Honduras. I took my laptop and used LR CC Classic and PS, because LR CC is such a mess. But Adobe for years now has kept trying to put lipstick on a pig and convince us that are complaints don't belong in the forums, and that things will improve with time. Nothing could be further from the truth. The program manager that thought up this ill-advised scheme should be fired publicly.  ... View more

I know things change, but some things in the preferences don't change, and have never changed - one of those being your default color space, so I don't give Adobe a pass on this one. It's lazy programming. I build custom profiles for my cameras, and during the editing process I convert to Adobe RGB 1998 to put the files into a standard color space. I do fine art reproduction, and I have 4x5 scan back cameras. I absolutely have to start off with custom profiles. But really this shouldn't matter, and it shouldn't make my case exceptional. I simply want Adobe NOT to change my settings when migrating. Period. And I don't think that's too much to ask for a program that is supposed to be used by PROFESSIONALS. ... View more

You are correct. I have found this a work around, but I really dislike using bridge.

This is why I created this thread really. This is an old problem, and for years Adobe and Apple blame each other. But it's a serious issue for graphics professionals that search by image and not file name. I need to see those thumbnails, and I feel like both Apple and Adobe have really abandoned the professional graphics community and don't really care about serious issues like this. So I  created a new thread starting 2019, so users who have this issue can search for and find a recent thread about this issue, with other users saying they have the same issue, and that after many years now, it's still an issue. ...

No, I've never done this. The problem is that I've got Creative Cloud CC that resides on 5 computers in the office, and the cloud is set to stay up to day. So it's hard to know when an update has happened, especially on five computers. If Adobe expects or wants professionals to use the CC version and stay up to date, then they honestly need to be better at respecting people's working environment. This should be part of their update procedure, because if users have to go in every morning and check that there has been updates and then migrate their working environment, then really the notion of allowing the apps to update themselves is completely meaningless. ...

I agree, and that's what I do. But with every single upgrade my color preferences get reset. And while I understand you can migrate presets, I honestly never thought of my color settings as a preset. It just seems so last decade to me that after an automatic update your color preferences would get reset. It's like if your OS updated itself and changed the default language every time. It just shouldn't be that hard for Adobe to update things without destroying user preferences. That's the whole idea behind the cloud version, is that it keeps itself up to date. Where my problem lies is that I convert files from custom camera profiles to Adobe RGB 1998, which is my working profile. But if my working profile gets changed, then my files get converted to sRGB. I've got years of scripts and things for my work flow, and indeed it messes things up when Adobe updates my PS as I sleep at night and changes my settings. ... View more

It does matter, because it's converting documents to the default profile, so it's taking RGB 1998 docs and saving them as sRGB if I'm not very careful, and some of my staff aren't as versed as I am, so I'm constantly checking for this. But I do appreciate your answer. I do look at the color space and I have it in the info pallet. But still Adobe, no, you don't change people's personal parameters with each update. That's not how it should be done. ... View more

Hi Mark-heaps, These files have all been saved in PS. For some history, this started a few years ago, it's been a long time, but it's a thing that sometimes really really gets to me. It happened at the same time that the icon preview in the title bar turned into a generic blank icon (not just for tifs but all files). Apple blamed it on Adobe, and Adobe blamed it on apple, and after a couple of years the subject went away. This is why I'm asking here again. And I wonder if others have seen it. It happens on 5 machines in my office, so surely I can't be the only one. To answer your question: Tifs are generally 8 bit, and I do recognize that changing a graphic file from 8 bit to 16 bit does in fact cause preview issues, especially for files over 500mb. I can live with that, although seriously, 16 bit image files have been around for decades now. So, all files are created in PS, although I've saved files in GIMP after making a non destructive change to see if that makes a difference, and although the icon preview may come back, and often does, after some time it will revert to a generic icon. It's as if the OS is generating the icon every time you open the directories, so even fixing them isn't permanent. I think the one common denominator is that all the tif files are large. I have a 4x5 scanback camera that generates very large files, and final flattened files will be from 200MB to 1.xGB. Although generally in the 200 to 500 mb range. Mostly 8bit in their final form. And all files live in the Adobe 1998 color space. Every single file in question is generated like this: Mac Pro, garbage can model 2013, 3.5GHz 6-core Xeon, 64GB RAM, 18666 DDR3, 2x AMD FirePro D700 6144MB 4x5 scanback camera outputs Tif file at 16 bit with custom camera profile file is edited PS CC, converted to Adobe 1998 color space, pared to 8bit, saved @ 300ppi at the original size of artwork photographed Saving options "image previews: always save checked: Thumbnail checked" ...

I have done this. I've done this for entire directories too, and I can get the previews to come back. But give it a day or two, and they revert to showing the generic Tif icon. ... View more

🙂 Thank you Jane. Still looking for an answer to this on both this forum and on Apple's website forum. I know this has been a long standing issue since I think 10.11.X where Adobe and Apple both point fingers at each other, but it's become so debilitating I can't ignore it. The other day I spent two hours opening and closing files to look for a client image because I can't see a preview, and then two days later, all those icons have again reverted back to broken icons. As someone who generates nothing but graphics files and is in the Adobe suite all day long, this has become a real issue that's costing me real time and money. Also just upgraded my main machine to 10.14.x and no change. I'm on Adobe Cloud 2019 for all my Adobe apps. ... View more

On the Mac you cannot update the display driver without updating the OS, and I'm on the latest version without upgrading to Mojave, which I'm not prepared to do at this time. I'll try and turn off GPU in PS next time I see it. it's kind of random, and doesn't happen all the time. BTW I did see it a bit last night using Illustrator, which would sort of point to an Apple problem and not a PS problem. ... View more

That's unfortunate for Adobe. Unfortunately I hear this a lot from MVPs and Adobe personnel in the forums, but honestly, that's not my problem, and Adobe blaming Apple doesn't solve the problem or get us any closer to a solution. So really, with all due respect, this is kind of a non answer, and I don't mean to be rude. Adobe and Apple need to sort that out. They're both 800lb gorillas and are quite used to working together. For me, I can't get involved as an individual consumer. So for me, all I can say is that Adobe no longer has a working mobile photo processing solution. But the problem goes much deeper, which Adobe needs to own. There are just too many features that aren't available. There isn't enough cloud storage. There's no solution for multiple catalogs. And I'm sorry if I sound like I'm just dumping on LR. It does still have its place and for batch editing on the desktop it's awesome. But my work flow and increased mobility is forcing a change in the way I process raw images that does not include LR, and that's something only Adobe can fix. ... View more
