Embedded Color Profile is Lost When Content is Published to Web or Dragging Image Window on Desktop

Hello, Everyone. I have a question that I have struggled to crack on my own to no avail. I hope someone here can help.
I am trying to publish some images to the web using color corrected monitors, RAW format, and a color checker passport to create a perfeect color profile. Here are the technical details and my workflow.
Camera: Canon Rebel EOS Xsi
Format: RAW + L
Color Space: sRGB
Color Checker: X-Rite ColorChecker Passport
Monitor Calibrator: Spyder4 Pro, fully updated software
Computer: Lenovo T420 ThinkPad
Second monitor: Samsung LED SyncMaster SA350 (NVIDIA)
Photoshop: v12.1 x64 (CS5.5)
Photoshop Color Settings: Custom North America Web/Internet
RGB: sRGB IEC61966-2.1
CMYK: U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2
Gray: Gray GAmma 2.2
Spot: Dot Grain 20%
Policies
RGB: Preserve Embedded Profiles
CMYK: Preserve Embedded Profiles
Gray: Preserve Embedded Profiles
After importing the image into Photoshop, I make sure the RAW space is set to sRGB IEC6 1966-2.1
Use the eyedropper to select a neutral color one step away from pure white on the RAW image of the color checker, create and set the custom white balance.
set the white balance
Export the image as a DNG
Load the DNG into the X-Rite ColorChecker Passport software to create a color profile
Back to Photoshop
Open the RAW file
Set the white balance to the custom profile created above
Set the color profile created with X-Rite
Open the color-corrected image in Photoshop (see color setting above)
Save as JPEG
Publish
First, everything seems to go great throughout this entire process, until I see the image on the Web: LINK. Once published, the image has a very noticible golden-yellow tint to it. The color-corrected image looks great on both color-calibrated monitors, in RAW and JPEG. Absolutely perfect. After noticing the ugly yellow tint in the image I posted to the Web, however, I became aware of a couple more weird things.
1) When the JPEG was open in Photoshop and I moved the window that contained the image around on my second monitor, the image immediately took on that golden-yellow tint: you can see a screen shot of the color corrected image on my Samsung (bottom) and the yellow version of the same image created when I drag the window around on the Samsung (top) HERE.
2) When opening the X-Rite software, I got a warning saying that the laptop monitor had been calibrated, but that the Samsung had not. I got this error even if I calibrated the Samsung monitor right before using X-Rite. Also, the monitor is definitely calibrated, because the images look great, and the colors match what I see on the laptop.
3) Recently, I noticed that when waking my computer from sleep, the Samsung monitor no longer holds its Datacolor (Spyder4) calibration.
I thought the problem I was having might be due to the monitor, for the reasons stated above. However, I later noticed that when I open the color-corrected JPEG with the default Windows image viewer, it retains the color correction settings. The image looks fantastic, and doesn't lose it's color profile when I drag the window around. Also, there seems to be less color loss in the Word documents and PDFs I included this image in: LINK.
I checked this with several more images, and the results are the exact same. I scoured the Web as best I could, but my problem seems to be pretty unique. Does anyone have an idea what might be causing this?
Thank you!

Thank you, twenty_one, for taking the time to read my post and put up a reply. I am going to rebuild my question and post it again here. But first, to answer some of your points:
1. A raw file has no color space, until it's opened into one in the raw converter. So this is controlled in ACR, not the camera.
I just wanted to be as thorough as possible. One of the steps I took was to set the Color Space setting in my camera to sRGB:
2. White balance has no bearing whatsoever on camera profiles. A profile is not for white balancing, it's to account for the spectral distribution of the light, which is something else. You make the profile and assign it in ACR, then you white balance for processing.
I know. I wasn't talking about white balance in my camera. I set the white balance here:
I grabbed the color for setting the WB here:
3. If you get a message about monitor calibration upon opening the camera calibration software, something is seriously confused. The two have nothing to do with each other. No relation whatsoever.
Camera calibration software?
4. A corrupted monitor profile will only show up in Photoshop and other color managed software. Other applications that are not color managed will not use the profile and are not affected. So find out which apps are and which aren't before drawing any conclusions.
Agreed. That's partly what I am trying to get help with.
5. Your links don't work, and in any case clicking on links is something most people including myself dislike. It's much better to insert screenshots in the post, by using the camera icon in the reply box.
I'm new to this forum, so this is helpful to know. This image shows the color-corrected image (bottom) on my Samsung. It looks exactly the same in the same window on my laptop monitor. When I move that window around on my Samsung screen, it turns gold (top). The image, when posted to the web, looks *similar* to that gold color.
So let's say I only use Photoshop on my laptop, which is not displaying any colors. Do you think the golden hue problem will go away?

PS CC 2014 stopped to respect the setting to preserve embedded color profile, why?

My normal workspace is Prophoto RGB. I, however, has a large number of tiff files (dias'es scanned with a Nikon scanner) with the color space sRGB. Up till recently I had no problems - all the files kept their embedded color profile when opened in PS. I Even have the checkbox that tell PS to ask if there is a mismatch checked on. PS does not ask used to do so). This has happened after my last update of PS from PS CC to PS CC 2014. I have deinstalled Ligthroom to see if synchronization migth cause this. That did not help.
Please help.

Sorry, I do not hope that I have got something fundamentally wrong. I hope not! Otherwise please correct me!
All my own files start out as Nefs and are from Bridge brougth through ACR and on in PS as Prophoto RGB 16 bit files.
Since I also work with files that are not my own Raw files as the scanned Tiffs (scans of my 50 years old slides - scanned by somebody else on a Nikon Super Coolscan 9000 ED), Tiffs from other people or even JPEGs, I have set PS to preserve embedded color spaces and to alert me if there isn't a match between my workspace (the Prophoto RGB) and an allready embedded color space. This because I did not think it advisable to change to Prophoto RGB from Adobe RGB orsRGB as the extra colors in Prophoto RGB never were present in the Adobe RGB or sRGB files and therefore could not be "conjured" up. I, however, got the impression that 16 bit would still be an advantage when editing.
I like to start any one-layered file in ACR before entering it into PS and do not want to change that. Up till now PS nicely warned me of color space mismatches but not with these scanned files. So my present worry is if the color space of the files from the Nikon scan may be changed from a smaller to a larger space (which would not be a good idea, or?) when going into PS. I speak only of files that enter PS from ACR with ACR workflow settings of Prophoto RGB 16 bit and with the color settings of PS as described above.
As I wrote earlier today, I am beginning to think that these files do not have a color space assigned until they get into my software but I do not know enough of the Nikon Scanner to be sure. If so everything is OK and PS functions perfectly.
As written above Bridge shows the scanned Tiffs to have the Nikon sRGB 4.0.0.3001 as color profile but below in Camera Data (Exif) it says "Exif color Space: Uncalibrated".
Does anybody know if these files in realty does have an embedded color Space before entering the software outside of the scanner?
I hope my English is understandable! Please forgive the 73 year old grandmother if she has got it all wrong!

Aperture 3 embedded color profile bug still unsolved (worked in Ap 2)

RE: Aperture 3.x cannot display images with certain color profiles embedded. This bug was reported
on March 11, but is still unsolved and basically makes Aperture 3 unusable for my large collection
of scanned slides which have a special color profile embedded. Viewer and sometimes Browser turns
either black or go haywire.
What is it about:
When you scan slides with a scanner, you can generate a special color profile so that the image
looks good and you can then embed this profile in the scanned tiff and jpeg images. Most pro applications honor the embedded profile and display the image correctly. In our case, we
generated a special profile named Nikon-LS5000 (it was tested for correctness!):
1) It worked fine in Aperture 2.x
2) It never worked in Aperture 3.x
3) It does not depend on the Operating System (i.e, the bug manifests itself in 10.6.2, 10.6.3 and now in 10.6.4)
4) It is no question of a special Mac Model (the bug shows on iMacs, ibook profs, and iMacs 2010)
5) It is irrelevant whether you start Aperture 3 in 32-bit or 64-bit mode
6) It shows with jpegs or tiffs, no matter
7) Preview.app or Photoshop CS4 display the images correctly!
8) If one changes the embedded profile via PS CS4 to sRGB or ProPhoto, Aperture 3 works (but the
image then has radically different colors - so no solution!)
9) The conclusion is that something affecting the processing of (some?) embedded color profiles has radically changed from Aperture 2 to Aperture 3.
I put a few jpegs with embedded color profiles and screenshots of how Aperture 3 behaves on the Picasa web:
http://picasaweb.google.com/114939413495021552399/TestapertureBilder#
you are invited to download the jpeg- images and retry in your ownAperture 3 Library.
Maybe together we can find out what causes this bug which is very annoying for any
serious photographer.

I have put the test material on another server - you can download a
zipped folder (Aperture3profilebug.zip) of all test images AND the color profile from
https://depot.uni-konstanz.de/get/txau69
with any browser. (The problem was that the Picasa Software seems to strip the color profiles from
the test images, so I had to put them on another server. It will remain there until July 1).

Photo Downloader modifying embedded color profiles

When downloading files from a camera, Photo Downloader apparently modifies embedded color profiles. Even those pictures that had been shot using AdobeRGB have their profile replaced by some profile called "Camera RGB"... whatever that is.
Does Photo Downloader actually
b convert
to this profile or does it just
b assign
it?
Anyway, is there a way to prevent Photo Downloader from modifying embedded profiles?
Thanks!

This excerpt is from a long-gone post by the late, lamented author Bruce Fraser:
Bruce Fraser - 4:17pm Jun 14, 04 PST (#5 of 21)
Opening files directly from the camera is a bad idea for a variety of reasons*, and it most certainly isn't faster than using a FireWire or USB2 card reader.
         Drains the camera battery
         Runs the risk of the software you're using to open the images writing to the card and destroying the format
         Runs a small but significant risk of USB power frying the camera
         Slowest method known to mankind of getting images off a CF or SD card

Ordering Prints Online with Embedded Color Profiles

Problem: I have imported about 100 photos into iPhoto (7.1.1) that have embedded ProPhoto RGB profiles. When Ordering Prints (from Apple/Kodak) online, the prints delivered were horribly desaturated. After research, discovered that the ProPhoto RGB (which is really high-end professional color space, even bigger than Adobe RGB) is not compatible with sRGB printing services. Essentially, sRGB is a much smaller color space and color is lost in process. What's the best way to resolve this?

Ruzicka:
There's an AppleScript to embed the color profile of your choice in selected files. I've modified it to embed the sRGB profile it's available at Toad's Cellar. It's the Applescript version, not the automator version. The automator version adds some jpeg compression in it's process. The script method does not.
Or, you could use Photoshop and create an action to batch convert the files to the sRGB profile. I've used PS but not the batch process. GraphicConverter may be be able to convert them but I've not used it.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Confused by embedded color profile vs. working space

If you know that the destination of a photo is ultimately going to need the sRGB color profile (uploading book to blurb), and you are going from Lightroom to Photoshop ("edit in Photoshop CS5") do you "Convert document's colors to working space" of sRGB?
This is what I have been doing, but when the photo is saved (in Photoshop) and then I view it in Lightroom, the photo looks completely different & gives me Exposure warnings.
Is this because Lightroom is showing me the photo with the color profile of Pro Photo RGB?
If yes, do I leave the photo alone, knowing that it should print correctly by Blurb &/or view correctly on a website?
Thanks for any help you can give me!
Laura

The "working space" is the colour space a program uses internally. Lightroom always uses Pro Photo RGB, there's no choice. With Photoshop you can choose Working Space:
I'd recommend ProPhoto, if only because that's what LR uses, so it avoids any change of working space. I would also choose "Preserve..." in the options below, and check all the "Ask When..." options (so it warns you when something funny happens).
If you save in Photoshop, and then re-import into LR, and it looks different, then some colour space mismatch might have happened. The problem is likely to be in Photoshop (as there aren't any options in LR you can get wrong!) Make sure the Photoshop "Color Management Policies" are as I've got them above. It shouldn't matter what colour space the image is in when you import back into LR, so long as there's an embedded profile. The embedded profile merely indicates in what colour space the image is. LR takes note of the profile, and when you work on the image in Develop Module, it converts internally to ProPhoto RGB (but LR never alters files except metadata - if you import an sRGB jpeg then it stays sRGB - LR converts to ProPhoto RGB only for internal use).
When you save the image in Photoshop, if you want it in sRGB:
either use Save for Web... (and make sure "Convert to sRGB" and "Embed profile" are checked)
or use Edit... Convert to Profile (not Assign Profile) and then save.
Does that help?

Uploading pictures to website, embedded color profile?

I'm a photographer and I use deviantart.com. I was trying to upload some pictures i had edited in aperture to my website(sarabil1.deviant.com) and it uploaded it the original and didn't have any of the edits i made on it in aperture. i looked in the deviantart faq is this is what i found:
"One of the main reasons colors change when a piece is submitted because the piece was saved with a color profile embedded. Since browsers cannot read this color profile it will not be displayed along with your image. Re-saving your image without a color profile embedded should rectify this issue. "
so my question is-how do i save it without a color profile embedded and if i do will my edits show up when i save it or no? thanks!!

There is a whole lot of this story that is missing both on your workflow as well as deviantart.com's explanation.
1) Make sure that you are using Export Version not Export Master.
2) When using export version make sure that you are exporting with/to an sRGB color profile.

Monitor color profiles go away when screensaver runs

When I exit the screensaver on my Mac Pro (Leopard 10.5.5) my color profile is completely wrong with both screens washed out as if they had some awful default profile applied.
I can fix this by entering Preferences and then selecting Display. As soon as I do that, the correct color profile is loaded and everything is fine.
Obviously that is incredibly annoying.
Does anyone know why the screensaver would cause the color profile to go away and/or why exiting the screensaver would not restore it?

I've been having the same problem with my Mac Pro, though it only happens on one of the two connected screens.
I upgraded from the original GeForce 7300 GT graphics card to an 8800 GT I got from the local Apple store. Rather than box up the 7300 and throw it on a shelf, I moved the it to the top, 8 lane PCIe slot and installed the 8800 in the bottom, 16 lane slot. In stead of putting full load on one card, I plugged one monitor (1024x768) into the 7300, and the other (1024x1280) into the 8800.
The larger monitor, plugged into the 8800, appears to exhibit the color profile issue for a split second before as the screen saver activates, and often (but not always) when coming out of the screen saver. Opening the monitors pane will load the proper profile, but cycling in and out of the screen saver a few times (the number varies, I've seen anywhere from one to five cycles) can also bring up the correct profile.
In addition, cycling the screen saver will some times result in it deactivating and just sitting at a black screen... The monitor will be on (not in power saving mode), but will only display black. Flinging the mouse back up to the hot corner to cycle on the screen saver results in a momentary flicker of the desktop just before the saver comes up.
The 7300 screen behaves as expected when the 8800 is having problems, throughout the cycling and all.

The color profile switch automatically when opening some applications.

Im using the 2012 high-end 15" mac book pro, when I open an apllication such as iPhoto, the color profile switch to "Display" from "Color LCD".
When I quit the iPhoto it switch back to "Color LCD"
How to solve it?

Why does my monitor change colors when the graphics adapter changes?

Wow, a lot of lines ! No problem, i can identify problem when try generate a WSDL file ... it´s correct ? (Please correct me if i have a incorrect reasoning).
Can a JDK Version too ? I´m using a JDK 1.5.0_06. According by manual instructions version of JDK can be 1.4.2 or later version....
Help me ! :-)
Thanks for your attention !!

Roberto and all,
I installed Tomcat and published ODI web service and it was done sucessfully.
Why OC4J this simple activity doesn´t have any success ? I'm still curious what's difference between OC4J and Tomcat and why it does not allow this simple task when is completed in a such simple way... Oracle support analyst recommended that I use the OC4J but did not explain the reason, what are the advantages and benefits compared to Tomcat...
Sincerelly, i´m not too sure if i should go ahead with OC4J.
Thanks for your attention !
Best Regards,
João.

Color and depth lost when reading PNG

Hello,
I'm using IMAQ Read Image And Vision Info.vi to read a PNG saved with IMAQ Write Image And Vision Info.vi. The saved image is 24 bits, color. When I open the image and display it using an image control, it shows up as an 8-bit grayscale. How do I get it to open in color?
Thanks.

Are you passing a 24-bit color image into the image terminal of this VI? Most likely, you have the default Grayscale (U8) Image type for the initialization of the image that you feed into the IMAQ Read Image And Vision Info.vi. It is a terminal on the bottom of the IMAQ Create vi.
Hope that this helps,

Edits are lost when photos are uploaded to web photo printing sites

I have been trying to troubleshot this using a variety of discussions on this and other forums. Nothing seems to work. I have adjusted color, saturation, sharpness, straightness, etc. using iPhoto's editing tools on all of my photos. I am now trying to upload them to sites like Shutterfly, Snapfish and Photobucket to order prints, and no matter what I do I always lose the edits. I have tried exporting them from iPhoto, uploading them from copies moved to the desktop, saved through Preview or Photoshop, or opened through 'Modified' images in the iPhoto folder. Nothing works. The images appear edited when viewed in both Photoshop and Preview, but once they are uploaded to Shutterfly or wherever (and I have tried them all), the edits disappear. I have tried using Firefox and Safari as browsers without any difference. Nothing seems to work. I am desperate for some help with these as I am trying to print 11 X 14 prints of a major portion of my library for an exhibit. Much much appreciated. Also, my iPhoto library is 25GB, so I would like to avoid making a complete second copy of it.
Thanks for your feedback.
Kat

Yes your issue is different (and would be better in a fresh thread)
Actually both the edited and unedited version of the photo show up on it.
This sounds like you are using the iPhoto burn (or Share menu ==> burn) command - this burns a "mini iPhoto Library" which includes both
If you just want the latest photos export them to a desktop folder (file ==> export or drag from the iPhoto library window to a desktop folder) and burn that folder to CD

Disappearing color profile when saved for the Web

Hello.
I have a problem with the “Save for the Web” results using Photoshop CS6 running on Win 7 x64.
My photos are already in 8 bits and in sRGB and when I save for the Web I check the option “embed color profile”, uncheck “convert to sRGB”, metadata to “copyright and contact info”.
When I open the resulting photos in Photoshop, everything is fine as it recognizes the embedded color profile. Same thing when I open these files in Firefox, Safari or Chrome: the colors are correct.
Now, when I right-click on a file in the Win Explorer and look its properties, the line about the color profile is blank, as if there wasn't any. This doesn't bother me but the problem appears on my Website created with Joomla and using for the display a module, Responsive Image Gallery, which creates resized copies of the photos. At this point the copies have completely lost their color profile. I entered in contact with the module's support and they assured me that it preserves the embedded profile, so I come here to gather some information about how this “Save for the Web” embeds the color profile because may be I just didn't understand how it does and if it's different from the “Save as” way.
The fact I can't see the profile through the Win Explorer makes me think Joomla's module doesn't either.

Incredible how much gballard's site is famous! Lol. I use it for a while now and checked again right now with the three Web browsers and everything is all right.
As indicated in my first post, when saving for the Web I checked the “embed color profile” option. I already resized the file and converted it in sRGB first in Photoshop.
Yes it's pretty confusing to see some software not able to see the color profile when the file is saved with that option.
To illustrate, here are three screenshots from Windows' file browser => right-ckick on the file => properties => details:
Opening that “saved for the Web” file in PS, it's ok, the CP is recognized.
Opening it directly (from the file browser => “open with”) in Web browsers: ok in Firefox, Safari and Chrome (CP recognized in all).
Copying that file in my working site on localhost (no modification), integer it in Joomla's module gallery (which is CP aware) and then opening my site on localhost with Web browsers: ok in Firefox (because it considers a non-tagged file by default as beeing sRGB), NOT OK in Safari neither in Chrome.
Now, if I do the same with the “Save as” version of the file with embedded sRGB CP:
PS: ok
Opened directly in Web browsers: ok in the three cases
Opened in Web browsers through my Joomla site on localhost: OK IN ALL THREE BROWSERS
Good point gator_soup: I'll post a bug report. I'm new here on the forum and thought Adobe's staff would post here.

Lost color profile

When I use autofix in Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.0, photos that previously had an embedded color profile (Adobe RGB) lose the color profile - when I open the edited version of the photo in Photoshop 6.0, I am told that there is no embedded color profile (the original is recognized as having Adobe RGB in Photoshop). Is there any way to retain the profile after using Autofix and, if not, should I re-assign Adobe RGB in Photoshop or should I assign sRGB and then convert to Adobe RGB working space? (The latter seems to yield better results).

Hi Nathaniel,
I tried autofixing an image shot with Canon PowerShot camera with embeded sRGB profile in Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.0, it did not discarded the embeded color profile (I checked in Photoshop CS)
If you are getting better results with the second option then you should go ahead with it.
Hope this helps.

Preserving ICC Color Profile in image conversion.

Hi-
I'm quite lost on how to preserve a color profile using the JAI tools. I'm hoping somebody can help.
Basically, I have a TIF, which I read the image and it's metadata, and can dump everything out showing the non-standard embedded color profile. Then I want to save the image as a jpg with the same color profile information embedded, but it doesn't seem to be automatic, and I can't find the proper API.
I'm actually shooting for JPeg2000, but I'm using standard JPG for now, so that I can easily open the resulting image up in photoshop to see the embedded color profile.
My read code is something like this:
BufferedImage img = null;
IIOMetadata md = null;
ImageTypeSpecifier spec = null;
Iterator<ImageReader> readers = ImageIO.getImageReadersByFormatName("TIFF");
ImageReader reader = readers.next();
md = reader.getImageMetadata(0);
ImageInputStream iis = ImageIO.createImageInputStream(new File("foo.tif"));
reader.setInput(iis);
TIFFImageMetadata tmd = (TIFFImageMetadata)md;
TIFFField f = tmd.getTIFFField(BaselineTIFFTagSet.TAG_ICC_PROFILE);
ICC_Profile p = ICC_Profile.getInstance(f.getAsBytes());
ICC_ColorSpace cs = new ICC_ColorSpace(p);
spec = ImageTypeSpecifier.createInterleaved(cs, new int[] {0}, DataBuffer.TYPE_BYTE, false, false);
ImageReadParam rp = new TIFFImageReadParam();
rp.setDestinationType(spec);
img = reader.read(0, rp);
And my write code is something like this:
Iterator<ImageWriter> writers = ImageIO.getImageWritersByFormatName("JPG");
ImageWriter writer = writers.next();
ImageOutputStream ios = ImageIO.createImageOutputStream(new File("foo.jpg"));
writer.setOutput(ios);
ImageWriteParam wp = configWriteParam(writer);
wp.setDestinationType(spec);
writer.write(md, new IIOImage(img, null, md), wp);
Any ideas for me? I'm completely stumped.
Thanks!

It worked fine before but than one day (don't remember for sure when) it started not working. I think I probably updated my Photoshop at the same time so something may have changed there.
Hello Sergei,
First of all, Welcome to the  Discussions forums!
Have you Repaired Permissions after the Photoshop update on that machine?
