Hi,
Can someone please help me with CS2 Colour Settings? I am trying to set up my colour settings as a recommended profile supplied by a commercial printer.

The problem is under, – Colour Settings – "Working Spaces"- "CMYK" – they recommend the setting should be "Euroscale coated v2" but, i am not given this choice in the dropdown menu. All that is available is – "PS 5 default", "PS 4 default", "Custom", "Load CMYK", "Save CMYK" and, a greyed out "Other".

I have also noticed that under "Colour Settings – Settings" – there is not the same choice that I have seen discussed in forums, eg I have seen "North America General Purpose 2" or "Europe General Purpose 2" mentioned, these choices do not appear in my drop down menu, only "PS 5 default spaces", "Custom", "Untitled" and a greyed out "Other" are visible.

I suspect that the reason behind this problem is that somewhere else in CS2 i have inadverently changed a setting which affects my choices in the Colour settings.

Can someone advise on this?

Many thanks,
Biffo

Click on the "More Options" button on your color settings dialog, and Europe Prepress Defaults should show up in the drop down menu and Euroscale v2 should show up as the CMYK working space.

Hi Gener,

Thanks for your input, yes, I had already tried that and apart from opening up the "conversion options" and "advanced controls" it didn’t make any difference to my choices.

The topmost dropdown menu marked "settings" should have all regional settings visible when you click on the down arrow in that box.

If it does not, my guess is that the additional profiles somehow did not get installed. Maybe a reinstall with "custom" selected instead of "typical" and see that "additional ICC profiles" is checked.
