Ok thanks. Took a quick look at that and the tutorial falls just a tad short of one extra step. After #7 where the person is isolated and the bg is transparent. What format would you save that in if you were to be placing it into AI? Just leaving native PSD??

Thank you pfingen, that is just what I found. CS3 is the solution ;-)

If your printer driver is being forced to ColorSync (double profiling) when printing from PSCS4 do a search for "ColorSync Utility" for information on the workaround. However even with the workaround you will not be able to print a profile target from PSCS4.

To briefly summarize the workaround, you change the default profile in the CU to the profile you choose in the PS print dialog. This is done for the media that you select in the driver. Also some people have found that they need to also change that for the default setting in the CU (the one with the blue dot). You are still double profiling but with that same profile so the image will print correct.

Now I have installed the calibrated profiles to the printer driver. PSCS4 colormanagement is off. Not as easy as in CS3 but the result is ok. The results of double profiling is very coincidental.
If you place the ps-picture to illustrator the printing with 'colormanagement by the application' is no problem in CS4, illustrator has no problem using .ccc profiles.

The problem is that I only use my own custom profiles, and since there seems to be no way to currently send truly raw RGB to the Epson driver right now, CS4 is out.

BTW 3GB of RAM by todays standards is not a lot of RAM.

Insufficient RAM is not likely the issue in regard to SFW. While this is not as much RAM as one could have, 3 GB is at least 3 times more than is needed for the minimum system requirements for the OS and the application. As Robin is working with web graphics, we are probably not discussing huge files that would tax the system.

Repairing Permissions after the fact (i. e. not immediately before and
after an install) seldom helps.; Try it anyway, though.

What is 'after the fact' if it is not 'after an install'? Take the previous advice with a heavy dose of the common sense that it lacks. Ramon's comment contradicts Apple's instruction. Repairing permissions is done after an installation as a troubleshooting step. Apple never recommends this process prior to an installation as it is infinitely pointless to do so prior to an admin-only function like an installation.

Since credibility is likely to soon be an issue of this discussion, don't trust anything I have typed. Look up the details. If you are not familiar with permissions, learn about them from Apple, not from nonsensical discussion pasted incessantly in a Photoshop forum.

"BTW 3GB of RAM by todays standards is not a lot of RAM. "

I'm getting tired of reading this, because in so many cases people trot it out without thinking. 3 GB of RAM is PERFECTLY adequate for that hardware and OS, and will cover all but the most demanding of workflows.

how much empty space is on the system drive?

the Spinning Ball usually means that the system is paging (writing SWAP) If the system drive is full you will have problems.

Robin,

I'll chime in here as well -- for what you do, 3 GB RAM should be more than sufficient. If you work on huge or complex files, video, or several demanding applications simultaneously, we could revisit that. Your G5 1.6 GHz computer, as you know, is not the fastest, but it should work saving for Web.

If yours is not a disk free-space issue, it sounds like a maintenance issue. Disk Utility (repair permissions, and boot from Mac OS X disk to repair disk), Disk Warrior (again, boot from disk and run repairs) or Photoshop preferences may need to be reset. I run these maintenance procedures anytime I sense my computer is not working "quite right" (understand, this is quite infrequent), and these fixes plus the occasional running of Cocktail (or Onyx) do work.

Here's a bit more on permissions repair: <http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=DiskUtility/10.5/en/duh17.html>

...and to add to Christoph's explanation of his answer...

My first post was only commenting on the post that immediately preceded it. I never addressed the original question by recommending any particular file format. I was just comparing GIF and PDF.

I personally would stick with PSD as the working format and save out another format to pass off for review by clients.

If you are looking for convenience of conversion for a client copy, check out the various automation functions of Photoshop. You might make it a simple one-click issue to make a duplicate file in another format.

Hello,

I am using Photoshop CS4 on a new MacBook Pro running 10.5.6.

If i select "Automate>Merge to HDR..." or "Automate>Photomerge...", i get an alert with an error:

« Error 48: File or folder does not exist.
Line: 38
-> $.evalFile(g_StackScriptFolderPath + "LatteUI.jsx"); »

I went the whole uninstall-reinstall the Design Premium suite, but i still get the same error.

Any ideas?
Thanks.

Not being all that technically-minded I'm not sure if my graphics card will manage all the functions required by Photoshop CS4. I've looked on ATI's site for the graphics card but can't find it - ATI Radeon 9650.
System Profiler tells me:
ATI Radeon 9650:

Chipset Model: ATY,RV351
Type: Display
Bus: AGP
Slot: SLOT-1
VRAM (Total): 256 MB
Vendor: ATI (0x1002)
Device ID: 0x4150
Revision ID: 0x0000
ROM Revision: 113-A58503-115

Can anyone tell me if this card (which came with the G5) will allow me to use all the new functions of Photoshop CS4?

Shaun,

Is your card on Adobe's list? See the tech notes in the grey panel on the Photoshop/Mac home page (one step up from here), particularly

Hi Larry,

I did get them fixed, thanks for asking. I posted the solution on a thread, but now I can't remember where. I thought it was this one but I don't see it.

Hello,

I am a new P/S user and have a simple question. With the brush or the clone stamp tool how do you control whether the circle indicating its size appears on the image with the cursor or not. Sometimes its there and sometimes it isn't and I haven't found how to control it.

I have read the various suggestions and thank everyone who offered them but I am still at an impasse here.

First off, I am using an Eizo ColorEdge CE210W monitor, calibrated with an EyeOne calibrator. As suggested above, I re-calibrated with a 6500K profile and downloaded the gballard.net PDI profile. I had calibrated it at 5000K at the suggestion of the printing industry tech support guy where I bought the monitor and calibrator, but I'm willing to try anything.

I checked my monitor at gballard.net where there's a gray scale test and the monitor is fine. I don't think the color management problem is with the monitor, I think it's in Photoshop.

I did another test suggested by gballard.net and compared the PDI displayed by Photoshop with a stripped-of-profile version displayed in Safari. Safari's version is more saturated. This is particularly noticeable in the browns and the skin tones of the African-American people.

I tried soft proofing in Photoshop using the Velvet Fine Art Paper profile, then printed it on Velvet Fine Art paper. There is a definite mismatch here, more striking than the difference between the Photoshop and Safari screen versions discussed above. Photoshop soft proofing shows a much grayer image than the print. The print is definitely more saturated throughout, and warmer in the sense of yellower. All the grays on the print have a yellow cast compared to the soft proof. If "simulate paper color" is turned out, it's even more useless, because it just washes out the screen version further.

I am at a total loss as to what to do next.

Just to correct a typo above, it should read "If simulate paper color is turned ON, it's even more useless, because it just washes out the screen version further."
