digital press proofing profile?
by Tyler Boley 30 Jun '11

30 Jun '11

I am starting occasional work with one of the POD book publishers. They are one of the better ones and the work looks good, but obviously it gets down to file prep. Their process details are unknown to me, though they state a lot of ongoing calibration including color management. I choose not to push for info about that, and demonstrate respect for their stated expertise. They offer test prints, and I mentioned I may slip in a profile chart, they expressed no concern about that. So far they are asking for color prepped in AdobeRGB and tagged as such. Since I have no idea what conversions are going on between tagged RGB and ink on paper there's no real way for me to determine device color. So, if I send an RGB chart in as a color test, tagged AdobeRGB so it is treated exactly as images would be, how can I make the best use of the resulting profile? For example, can I use it to soft proof using "preserve numbers" while prepping ARGB files? Since it will be a profile made from a chart that was converted from AdobeRGB at their end, it seems there would be a missing step using it for file prep that will limit usefulness... I realize I could push for more info that may result in a more useful profile but I know what it's like to have clients talking to me like they know more about what I do and I, so prefer not to go there for now... Thanks, Tyler

OS 10.6.7, PS CS5, 32 bit mode, can no longer run contact sheet II

Issue resolved. Bob. I used another Mac with CS3 on it to make the contact sheet. I suppose I could runt PS3 on the workstation. I would rather have fewer programs on the HD. After that, I discovered my problem was I needed CS4 Contact Sheet II. Cheers Thank you for your prompt consideration and response. Sincerely, David B. Miller, Pharm.

I can't use Bridge for my needs. I need the fact that Contact Sheet II leaves what it builds as separate layers. I then run the sheets through some actions to add other business specific info and graphics. CS4 runs nicely right along side CS5. I just use it for contact sheets. That way I don't have to cripple CS5 for everything else by running it in 32bit mode to accommodate Contact Sheet II. > > Bob Smith > > Accurate Image • Bob Smith Photographer • Waco Texas USA > http://www.accurateimage.org >

Hi Steve and Bob. The issue is resolved, CS4 Contact Sheet II needs to be pulled over to CS5. Previously I had moved CS3 Contact Sheet II, and had been working fine. Some update somewhere made a difference. I'll never know why. Good reason for me to kind of stay put with my software. Steve, I am enjoying i1 Publish I purchased from Chromix. Thank you! And that is kind of an oxymoron. Just purchasing new software. Hmmm. Cheers David David B. Miller, Pharm.

This question every well might not be appropriate in this list. Maybe someone can guide me to a forum, or even have the answer to my issue. I have the mbp4.1; os10.6.7 6 GB RAM. When attempting to do contact sheet II, in PS CS5, 32bit mode, I get message not enough RAM. Same thing when I attempt picture package. I used to be able to use those tools with 6 GB RAM, Not now. Overnight I ran mem check. All RAM ok. I can run Genuine Fractals 5.0.4 in 32 bit. Thank you for your prompt consideration and response. Sincerely, David B. Miller, Pharm.

Do I need to upgrade to i1Profiler?
by Millers' Photography L.L.C. 23 Jun '11

I am guessing this topic is about finished. (Do I need to upgrade to i1Profiler?) I do have another question: We know how to change MeasurementTolerance. How can we, or me, change the minimum luminance lower than 80? I know, I know. Why? Please don't question. But I will say below 80, such as 70 and even I have discovered, 60, meets my needs, and benefits my workflow. I did phone and ask the nice man at x-rite, and, after some discussion with another of his colleagues, the answer was it cannot be done. Using 'custom' to change to lower number doesn't work. Snaps back to 80. It's not that important to me since I can use ColorEyes Display Pro, or i1 Match 3.6.3. But I sure would like to know. Cheers David B. Miller, Pharm.

First of all ... stands for your boot partition name. If it is not there I have no clue why your install would be any different than mine. I don't think i1Profiler would even run without that file in that location. Besides that is the path where all saved targets and settings in i1Profiler are saved by default. If you find it you can edit it with TextEdit.

Some questions regarding i1 Profiler. When reading a target, RGB, regardless of which line I read, the software does not register the corresponding line. It does not tell me I have read the wrong line for, let's say, line 3. I can read line 12, and if line 3 was the next one, it thinks I am reading it, the software is happy. I says read line 4 Does not tell me I have read the wrong line. I have seen strange looking green profile shapes in .icc profile. Reading just one canvas, three times has given me different looking green shapes. I have no idea what is going on. I have seen this once before, so I reprinted the target and all was fine. I can send screen shots if screen shots would help. Information on the target. 1260 patch chart, 12.8 x 23.7 inches. Unscrambled. Epson Pro 9600 print driver, MBP4.1, 17 inch, os 10.6.7. I have used both the i1 Pro revision D and revision A. Normally I use revision D. But was wondering if Revision would give the same results. And it did. Thank you for your prompt consideration and response. Sincerely, David B. Miller, Pharm.
