Puzzling: Different color results from the same actions in PS 12

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Sun, 26 Oct 2014 13:38:08 GMT

I opened a scanned image (tiff) in PS and printed using Adobe RGB1998 profile + Adobe RGB 1998 Working space.

I let the printer control the color and it came out perfect.

I patched together a panorama of images (scanned from the same scanner and saved the same way) in PS and the print results are different!

What am I doing wrong? Is there an adjustment that happens during the patching panorama process that I need to make up for? I'm totally stumped (and frustrated).

PS The reason I let the printer control the color is because that's the only way I can get the color correct! With the standard settings from Epson, my prints are darker.

Converting RGB to CMYK color

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 02 Sep 2014 08:01:11 GMT

Hi All,

I have few BASIC Questions on converting RGB to CMYK in Photoshop and Illustrator. Hope could get some professional insights here.

1, Are all the DTG printers set only in CMYK color mode ?

2, If there is no difference after viewing RGB image with 'Gamaut Warning' (Photoshop), Does that mean I'll have the exact print result as monitor view ?

and Basically no need for CMYK conversion ?

3, Please list some the most effective way to convert RGB to CMYK, and keep the final CMYK color result as close as the RGB.

4, when I simply convert one RGB image to CMYK color, why Ps/AI don't allow me to save as PNG file ?

( I save the file as PDF, but I cannot edit this PDF using apple preview app )

5, compare Photoshop to Illustrator, which one result better final CMYK color image ?

Best results when changing RGB to CMYK

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 15 Jul 2014 10:45:53 GMT

Hi There,

How can I get the best results when converting a RGB to CMYK? For example, a tif visual when offset printing... Is there any programme, plug in, machine for this?

Many thanks

Illustrator vs Photoshop RGBs / What color profile to use for an online publication that is also to be printed?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 21 May 2014 21:46:16 GMT

Hi, I have been correcting the colors of a franchise company logo that is to be used for print, as well as online media.

I created EPS files in Illustrator using Pantone colors, and I will be providing these for professional printing (signs, brochures, business cards, etc.)

I have also converted these files to TIFF files through Illustrator, using CMYK, and will be providing these for in-house/desktop printing by business owners.

I have also converted these files to RGB for online usage.

When opening up the RGB files into Photoshop in order to work them into a publication template, I noticed the colors (which seem pretty true to the Pantone values I remember in Illustrator) were picking up as different RGB values from the ones provided to me from the marketing team. (The PMS color I was given was 280C, my file picks up as RGB 0-72-144 in Photoshop, and the RGB they gave me is 0.43.127) I understand that assigned Pantone colors can appear different than the RGB conversions when viewed on screen together (seeing that Pantones are printed, RGBs are on screen...I'm assuming the Pantone colors, when printed, should appear close to the RGB on screen versions...right?) Anyway, I changed my original RGB values (0-72-144) that were created from the original Illustrator values to the ones provided by the marketing team (0.43.127) just to play it safe.

Firstly, please let me know that all of this is correct, and that I am provided the owners with the correct types of files and color profiles dependent on the jobs.

------

Secondly, I am also to produce a publication using the logo that will be distributed online (RGB), but needs to also be able to be printed, in the case that the business owners would like to distribute it via hard copy as well (CMYK/Pantone)... need I provide them two variations of the same document (one for online, one for print), or is there a color profile that can be appropriate for both uses?

Forgive me, as I only know the basics of these color profiles, and don't quite yet understand the way they work together.

Color management help needed for adobe CS5 and Epson printer 1400-Prints coming out too dark with re

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 14 Jun 2013 10:45:48 GMT

Color management help needed for adobe CS5 and Epson printer 1400-Prints coming out too dark with reddish cast and loss of detail

System: Windows 7

Adobe CS5

Printer: Epson Stylus Photo 1400

Paper: Inkjet matte presentation paper with slight luster

Installed latest patch for Adobe CS5

Epson driver up to date

After reading solutions online and trying them for my settings for 2 days I am still unable to print what I am seeing on my screen in Adobe CS5. I calibrated my monitor, but am not sure once calibration is saved if I somehow use this setting in Photoshop’s color management.

The files I am printing are photographs of dogs with lots of detail I digitally painted with my Wacom tablet in Photoshop CS5 and then printed with Epson Stylus 1400 on inkjet paper 20lb with slight luster.

My Printed images lose a lot of the detail & come out way to dark with a reddish cast and loss of detail when I used these settings in the printing window:

Color Handling: Photoshop manages color, Color management -ICM, OFF no color adjustment.

When I change to these settings in printer window: Color Handling: Printer manages color. Color management- Color Controls, 1.8 Gamma and choose Epson Standard it prints lighter, but with reddish cast and very little detail and this is the best setting I have used so far.

Based on what I have read on line, I think the issue is mainly to do with what controls are set in the Photoshop Color Settings window and the Epson Printer preferences. I have screen images attached of these windows and would appreciate knowing what you recommend I enter for each choice.

Also I am confused as to what ICM color management system to use with this printer and CS5:

What is the best ICM to use with PS CS5 & the Epson 1400 printer? Should I use the same ICM for both?
Do I embed the ICM I choose into the new files I create?
Do I view all files in the CS5 workspace in this default ICM?
Do I set my monitor setting to the same ICM?
If new file opens in CS5 workspace and it has a different embedded profile than my workspace, do I convert it?
Do I set my printer, Monitor and PS CS5 color settings to the same ICM?
Is using the same ICM for all devices what is called a consistent workflow?

I appreciate any and all advice that can be sent my way on this complicated issue. Thank you in advance for your time and kind help.

Help URGENT. Settings are WRONG for PRINT

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 03 Apr 2013 13:41:08 GMT

I am doing brochure's for my company. I am from South Africa.

I use Illustrator for the brochure, Layout and Text.

Last month the printer had problems with printing the brochure. I discovered my settings are wrong.

This was the settings:

Then I did research On Adobe Community Help and changed it to the below but its wrong too

Can someone help me to set it right according to RSA printers settings, something like a default setting.

Last Month the printer said the below:

- fonts are not embedded.

- black is not on overprint and is 4 colour black

I never had this problem before, so I have no idea what went wrong all of a sudden.

Now when I open my prevoius work on Illustrator or Photoshop, a small window pops up saying work is not according to this settings, etc.

Please help. Im desperate. I need to start my new brochure tomorrow

Thank you in advance

Using CieLab Coordinates for Color production of wine

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 11 Apr 2012 23:54:56 GMT

I realize this may be a somewhat specialized and obscure use of Photoshop but I am a Wine Chemist and have been collecting color spectral data from my experimental wines and would like translate the spectra into a color for a presentation.

I have all of the data from my wines including L*, C*, H*, a*, and b*. When I create a new lab color document and try to imput my color coordinates Photoshop CS4 has some different options than what I measure. For example the saturation or c* is listed for some reason as a percentage and if I type in a Hue value (which I have to subtract from 360) it automatically recalculates my L*, a* and b* values. Can anyone help?

Digital app (tablet) color workflow

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 02:37:40 GMT

Hello,

I am interested in learning what existing (print) publishers do in terms of handling image content for their digital editions? For example, a print publisher may currently prepare (color work, retouch etc.) 150 (high quality photographs) per print issue each month. Assuming they are using a CMYK workflow in creating the print version. Generally speaking, how is the content then repurposed for tablet publishing? Are the images simply picked up from the print archive converted from CMYK to RGB placed in InDesign then published as a tablet app??? Or, do print publishers generally maintain two separate image workflows; one for CMYK (print) and the other as an RGB worlfow for digital editions? Any advise, suggestions, or first-hand knowledge is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Colors not matching in InDesign but already synced through Bridge

I'm hoping someone can help. I am on Adobe CS5, my colors are all synced to North America General Purpose 2 through Bridge but the color in my Indesign files never match my Photoshop files. (Consequently, then the PDFs made from the files match InDesign as well). The profiles match in both Photoshop and InDesign. Any ideas how I can fix it so my colors in InDesign/Acrobat match?

Also, I have CS3 on another computer and the files colors match from Photoshop to InDesign on my computer with CS3. I took screen shots of my CS3 seettings and made my CS5 color settings all match, but the colors still do not match up. I also tried resetting my preferences for InDesign, Photoshop and Bridge but it still doesn't match!

CS5 prints differently with Illustrator, Acrobat and Photoshop on Xerox

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 21 Dec 2010 23:25:45 GMT

Hi There,

I have recently upgraded from CS4 Windows to a new iMac with CS5. I was getting good prints out of the PC although when we switched to Mac CS5 I have been getting de saturated prints, no colour concistancy across progams and it is near impossible to colour callibrate.

I have double checked that I am using the correct driver for the Xerox C320 Document Centre, I have experimented with changing colour profiles. I just can't get a good colour out of any of the applications. Illustrator is the worst. The prints are coming out nothing like when they show on screen. I am really confused as all of the IT experts we have consulted with had advised us that printing on the Mac would produce a better print that the PC although this is not the case.

If anyone has any ideas of how to fix this problem it would be greately appreciated.

Thank you,

how do I turn off color management in Photoshop 5?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 12 Nov 2010 01:50:13 GMT

There are three selections, only the first two clickable, in PS5 under Color Management in the Print dialouge:

Printer Manages Colors

Photoshop Manages Color

Separations (grayed out/unclickable)

Under Printer Manages Colors - there is no option to turn off color management for my Canon 9500 Mark ii

Under Photoshop Manages Color - there is no option to choose "No Color Management"

You can chose "No Color Management" in PS3, but not PS5? What happened to this option?

How is it possible to create a profile from a print of color swatches if I can not turn off color management?

(I am running Mac OS 10.6.4)

PS> this is the second time I'm contacting Adobe. First was by phone but I couldn't understand the message left on my voice mail after the phone technician had to ask for help from upper management - the english was so bad. I'm hoping by the written word I'll be able to understand. Please help.

Color Management - Different Lab-Values in Eye-One and PS4

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 22 Sep 2010 09:17:15 GMT

After having calibrated my screen "Eizo" and my printer Epson 3800 for - in this case paper Tecco PL285 carefully, I reached almost exact the same Lab-values, as I checked the monitor profile, printer profile and messured the printed output with Eye-one - (Monitor-Profile, Print Profile PL285, Result Photoprint) see table below. Colorprofil ICC was Adobe1998 in all cases. My monitor is calibrated with Kelvin 5500, Gamma 2.2 and brightness 120.

BUT my question is - as I messured the colors direct in PS4 with the pipette (Photoshop messure), the Lab values were very much different. Can anybody explain me the different or tell me where to adjust ? - A pure "human-eye-control" with my eyes saw the colors as almost being alike, but trying to be perfect - I will be happy to learn about/solve this.

Best regards

LUT conversion to ICC Profiles

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Sat, 14 Aug 2010 09:14:21 GMT

We have been working on a software package to convert film industry 3D and 1D LUTs to ICC Profiles.

The software is now working, and the first ICC Profiles converted from 3D LUTs are in use on a major film at a post-production facility in Australia...

At the moment the conversion is offered as a service only, but the fill software - called SpaceMan ICC - will be released for direct purchase next month.

Where we could do with some help is understanding what profiles people really want to use?

At the moment we are making input profiles that can be used in the likes of Photoshop, After Effects, etc., but have been looking at display profiles - but can't really get our head around them as they all seem to actually be RGB 1D LUTs loaded into the graphics card, rather than profiles in the form of an input ICC profile with real colour space data management capability...

Any input welcome.

Custom Color Profile & Illustrator Color Books

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 19:40:27 GMT

Hello everyone. My designers use a custom color profile in Illustrator so that they can produce prints from our laser that will match the colors produced by our wide format machine (prints produced by a seperate Imaging team). The problem they're having is that they work with a lot of PMS colors and the Pantone Color Books in Illustrator do not rendering or print as their true color under our custom color profile. It would be great if we were able to maintain our custom profile and somehow modify the color book files to display accurate color. Anyone have any ideas? Your feedback is appreciated.

TV broadcasting colors

I have made animation film, what have PSD files (photograpihies of drawings with ADOBE RGB 1998 color profile) inside of it. When I wached in ADOBE Premiere Pro CS4 howe it will be looking with TV broadcastong colors, the look was very bad, sou when I was trying to made colors to look good in that TV broadcasting look, I leaved normal color look because colors looked too bad in that look. When animation film was broadcasted on TV show it looked as it was looking with TV broadcasting color look on Premiere Pro - like too bright an with too big saturation because colors and the brightness of those colors ( luma and chroma ) are different for TV broadcast. I would like to know, howe to shange colours of photographies of drawings to look good in TV broadcastong colours look, because to change them for TV in simple way (by curves, etc) result was too bad.

Is the CMM abandoned? 64 bit plans?

I'd appreciate it if someone from Adobe could make a statement what their plans and commitment are for the standalone Adobe CMM. This forums looks pretty dead since years.

The current CMM available for download is only a 32 bit library, which in my understanding prevents its use in 64-bit applications. Are there any updates planned any time soon?

Clarification on artwork repro workflow...

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 21:33:57 GMT

I thought this was something I had a good understanding of, but it would now appear that I'm missing a piece of the puzzle. Someone recently brought me a stack of lithographs, and wants them duplicated on rag paper. Having just purchased a large format scanner, I thought perfect, this should be cake...

Here's what I've done, perhaps someone can point out where I'm going wrong.

-Profile scanner with Kodak IT8 chart (color management off), build profile with profilemaker 5, settings: large profile, neutral black

-Scan lithos with all color management turned off. Open in Photoshop, assign scanner profile (have also tried assign scanner profile and convert to adobe98)

-adjust sharpness and print out of Studioprint using custom profile, rendering intent: perceptual/relative with black point compensation.

At this point, should that print not be a pretty close match to my original (my prints are coming out much more yellow)? I have been able to proof and adjust color accordingly to get a good print, but if I have to go through all of that anyway, I'm wondering what the point of profiling the scanner really is...

Adobe CMM Config

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 05:16:16 GMT

My name is Ramin and I work for Shiraz Software who uses the Adobe CMM & Adobe ACE (embedded in the Adobe PDF Library) in our range of RIP software for Windows & Mac OSX.

The question that I have is weather the Adobe CS applications' CMM configuration (Preference) can interfere with other applications using the Adobe CMM or ACE on the same computer? Namely the BPC and Dither options that can normally be set in an ini file.

Thanks

Profile Management - Windows

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 15:29:32 GMT

I'm builindg up quite a collection of profiles for various papers I use. Currently they all get dumped into the same Windows folder. Is there some way to manage or organise these into different folders or something, so that all Ilford Gloss Profiles are together, all Epson Gloss Profiles are together etc.

I notice in Photoshop that all profiles appear in a single list but some are seperated by a dividing line. Even being able to insert this would be useful.

So, does anyone know of a way to bring more organisation to the numerous profiles one collects.

Green tinge to print outs via Adobe Software

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 15:47:43 GMT

Hello

This is my first post, and am not exactly sure if this is the most appropriate forum. I have searched various discussions but can’t find anything that relates to our issue.

We are an office using four PC’s and a Mac, each installed with Adobe CS4. We are experiencing a print quality issue, whereby documents printed via CS4, as well as Reader & Acrobat are all evidencing a green tinge to the greys and blues, and the image is overall darker than it appears on screen. We use a Konica Minolta Magicolor 7450 II laser printer, and have installed the necessary drivers. We use InDesign from which files are exported as pdf's for print via Acrobat or Reader. Each time we print, the issue occurs.

When images are printed via word or excel, they print fine, which leads me to believe it is an issue with Adobe software.

Has anyone else encountered this? Or does anyone have any suggestions as to where the problem lies?

Thank you.

Color variations between AI CS2 and Photoshop

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 02:36:35 GMT

I'm new here and really don't know technical terms for what I'm trying to explain, so please forgive the gibberish. I have an Illustrator CS2 file that someone is printing for me using Photoshop. When he opens the file the colors I selected in Illustrator all change slightly and look much duller when printed.

Is there a way to maintain color accuracy between the two applications? If so, how would I go about changing the colors in my existing artwork? Thank you!

Incompatibility

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 21:11:05 GMT

I'm a developer from Inèdit Software (Barcelona, Spain).
We licensed Adobe CMM for our products some months ago, and we think we've found a problem.

We want to setup color conversions from device icc profiles to sRGB profiles with absolute colorimetric intent, for doing some proofs.
In OSX, there is no problem. we can instantiate the transform and we get exactly the same output values than Photoshop (using both Adobe ACE and Adobe CMM)
In Windows XP, when we call the CreateMultiProfileTransform we get a valid pointer and it seems to work, but the output values are a little bit different. If we ask for the CMM_IDENT of the transform, the result is not 'ADBE'. In fact we get the same results of Photoshop if we set it up to use Microsoft ICM. For some reason, ICM is not using the Adobe CMM to create the transform and we don't know why.

Can someone help us ?

Thanks in advance

Color Settings CS3 Mac for CMYK Commercial Print

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 01:55:03 GMT

Can somebody advise me as too what I should be setting my color settings to so they will be the same across the suite and when I send my files to commercial print that prints CMYK sheet fed coated.

I've read so much I'm confused. I'm new to CS3 and the Mac ... In the past my work has come back perfect in color and matched to my monitor. Now on CS3 on the Mac I'm not sure what to do.

If anyone can help it would be most appreciated.

Color jpeg images open as Black & White

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 00:12:33 GMT

I have a folder with color and Black & White jpegs. When I open these files in camera raw editing mode the saturation slider is not available (greyed out) and all the files open in Black & White, even though the thumbnails show some of the images in color. The workspace is sRGB, so I don't know why the color information is getting "lost".

It seems to work fine for all my other images, except for one folder. I am on a Mac, with Photoshop CS3, running Mac OS X 10.5.3. Thank you!!

Calibrating Color in Windows XP to view PDFs from a Mac

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 22:38:38 GMT

I have a customer in another city and all of their staff, who work with me, use Windows XP on Dell desktops with Dell LCD flat displays.

Four the past four years they have been happy with reviewing my designs as Review PDFs, exported from InDesign CS, CS2 and CS3, and initiated for review and comment with Acrobat 7 Professional. They have been satisfied with the color representation from viewing my PDFs on their screen, with free Adobe Reader, and they like the speed and cost cutting that results from not requiring a printed calibrated color proof to sign off on before going to press. When I export to PDF from InDesign, I make my Destination Profile "U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2" and I include the Destination Profile.

Then I designed a poster for them that was mostly teal (a color between green and blue. They saw the color as medium blue on their screens and approved job to go to press. They were disappointed to find the final printed pieces looking teal.

I know there is expensive third party calibration software out there but is there adequate color calibration for my non-technical customers using Windows XP on Dell LCD Displays?

I use Apple CRT Displays an I use the OS X System Preferences/Displays dialog to set my color temperature to 65000 and my Gamma to 1.8 and then I use the slider controls to adjust for the ambient light in my office. The color I see on my monitor is the same color I get when my design projects come off the printing presses.

Does Windows XP have software monitor controls to give the Dell workstations basic generic color calibration? Does XP let the user adjust the color temperature and Gamma settings?

I need the documentation for use "adobecmm.dll" functions in c++.
