Photoshop setup

Does this look correct?

[Damien Symonds]

Absolutely not. NEVER change those settings from "North America General Purpose 2".

[Barry685]

Im not finding that option under settings.

[Barry685]

If I try yo load a different setting I get an empty folder.

[Damien Symonds]

It's in this pull-down menu:

[Barry685]

I did there are no other options

Holy mackerel!  Something went badly wrong with your install.

This issue alone isn't enough to warrant a complete reinstall, but you should certainly keep an eye out for other missing features.

Let's fix this manually.  Under "Color Management Policies", all three should be set to "Preserve Embedded Profiles", and all the checkboxes should be turned off.

All the other stuff will be ok.

[Barry685]

OK How is this?  Also If by any chance you have the north America "File" and you can send it to me and let me know which folder to put it into.

[Damien Symonds]

Yep, that'll do.  The CMYK Working Space is different, but it's immaterial anyway, since you'll always use a custom profile if you ever have need to output something in CMYK mode.

I don't think my NAGP2 file from CS5 would work in your version.

I don't ever use cmyk. I do have the ability to do my own printing but I only print Canvas if I need to.

[Barry685]

I could do try to do another install without uninstalling?

Never say never.  It might come up at some stage.  And if it does, make sure you consult me about the CMYK workflow.

I don't know, sorry.

[Barry685]

I fixed it. I have another pc with PS installed that was working properly. I found the directory that has the files and copied them into the problem pc.

[Damien Symonds]

Brilliant.
