Really small color checker?
by Dimitri Katsaros 07 May '15

Hey all, I am shooting macro, later down the line possibly getting into micro, and was wondering if there exists a color checker card the size of a stamp or smaller. If not, are there any other solutions for getting color correct images at this small a subject size? Thank you Dimitri Katsaros

Need help reinstalling Acrobat X
by Louis Dina 29 Apr '15

Thanks Refik. I checked and my version of Acrobat X is fully up to date and seems to work fine now. It was just that one Preference Setting (smooth line art) that was messing up the display of the files that my printer sent to me.

Dear Lou, The inital release of Acrobat Pro X (version 10.0.0) had problems with regard to soft proofing a PDF file, even in you had all the Preferences/Color Management settings correct on a properly calibrated/profiled display. What you need to do is to update it to its latest version, which is 10.1.13. Following the update it should do a decent simulation of the printed image. Let's assume that you receive a print ready PDF file from your premedia house prepared in a FOGRA39L dataset based CMYK colorspace, such as ISO Coated v2 (ECI), and that you have a display calibrated/profiled to a white point in the 5800ºK to 6000ºK range, a gamma of 2.2 and a luminance level of 100 nits (cd/sqm). The monitor white is a good simulation of the paper white under D50 illuminant and the color image a is good representation of the printed image. Adobe does a sloppy work when simulating Paper Color and Black Ink, hence we do keep these functions switched off. Just make sure that the CMYK colorpace set in the Preferences/Color Management and the Simulation Profile in the Output Preview (if open) are the same that is used by the premedia company when constructing the PDF file.

Need help reinstalling Acrobat X
by Louis Dina 29 Apr '15

29 Apr '15

Thanks, folks. I got it solved. I supplied PDF files to my commercial printer, using their PDF job options. Converted from IDCS6 to Press PDF. The original files I generated looked perfect on my monitor. They did whatever it is they do, probably ran it through their RIP and sent me *their* PDF proofs. My original InDesign file had a lot of transparency, line drawings in the background, etc. They said their PDFs matched mine exactly at their end, but they sure didn't on my end. At any rate, the did a little more research and gave me the correct fix. In Acrobat Preferences, under Page Display, they told me to UNcheck "Smooth line Art". Apparently, that does some anti-aliasing or something, and was responsible for screwing up the display of my files. With that unchecked, everything was back to normal and looked good. Just thought I'd explain it in case anybody else has weird results like this. I guess their RIP made some subtle changes that somehow affected the display of the files with that checkbox turned on. So, no need to reinstall at this time. Lou

I'm am using CS6 on my Mac Pro, OSX 10.8.5 (mountain lion). Acrobat X Pro is improperly displaying proofs and my commercial printer thinks it may be corrupt. I bought this originally from Adobe and downloaded it (no DVDs). How do I go about downloading and installing a clean version of Acrobat X? I have the original confirming email from Adobe with my serial numbers and unlock codes. Do I need to deactivate it first? If so, will this deactivate the entire Creatives Suite? I don't want to screw things up, so any recommendations and step by step procedures are much appreciated. Thanks, Lou

I agree with Andrew. The sad part is that Xrite hires beta-testers for their software but they do not seem to follow through with the de-bugging process before releasing it. That usually is caused by the bean counters or some executive who thinks a release date is more important than product quality. Then again, sometimes the dumbest bugs do not disappear after several revisions (updates) so my observation could be incorrect.Many times I try to follow manuals that were obviously not tested to see if they actually work. When people like me apply to companies like Xrite to write manuals the HR department does not think I am capable of writing instructional materials because I did not go to bad manual writing school. The result is that the users must struggle to figure out how to get around the software bugs or hire people like me to come in, set up their workflow & re-write the manual.

Their spectrometers and colorimeters are everything you could want in a graphic arts device, and you're not going to find a better reflectance target for field use than the ColorChecker Passport. I agree 100%. The Passport target and even it's associated software are Lightroom plug-in were both excellent and it's the last time I've seen anything impressive out of X-rite software. And their hardware is also excellent. It's a shame they don't take the same level of pride in i1Profiler.
