1DMkIII Colorsync Profile Bug?

I've recently been having problems with my 1DMkIII files and Aperture. The images are coming in much brighter than before including images I have already corrected and the highlights are blowing out to yellow. Made me believe there is a colorsync problem. In colorsync utility I clicked on the profile tab and the MkIII Generic profile. While cruising around I happened to click on the 1DsMkII generic color profile and had to do a double take. It is the EXACT same as the 1DMkIII profile, which should be impossible. I'm wondering when I upgraded to either Aperture 1.5.6 or maybe OSX 10.4.11 it changed the profile. If anyone is running 1.5.4 and/or 10.4.10 please check the MkIII profile and see if it different than the 1DsMkII generic profile.

I'm shooting with 1DsM2 not 1DM3 but... the Aperture profiles are not readily accessible in the Colorsync utility. I believe that Aperture, like Camera Raw & Lightroom, uses at least two profiles per camera and interpolates between them based on the color temp of the image file.
If you are seeing generic camera profiles its most likely from some other third-party raw convertor. It sounds like C1. Do you have C1 or Bibble or some other 3rd party convertor on your systems that allows for selecting camera input profiles? As far as I know DPP's input profiles are not accessible either.
Regarding your problem I have not seen any issues in terms of color and tone regarding 1DsM2 raw files and the change to 1.5.6 and 10.5.x.
Simple issues could be... if you've left color proofing on or the highlight hot areas on (and switched the color from red to yellow). Both are unlikely if you are seeing the issue on many computers but it couldn't hurt to check. Another issue could be if you've changed the way you profile your displays you could then look to see if the issue lies there. I once tried fiddling with the parameters in Eye-one Match and found that certain types of monitor profiles did not play nice with Aperture but worked in fine in Photoshop.

I don't if the issue referenced in the thread above has been corrected.

Warning: ColorSync Profile change

Warning: The default icc-color profile (ColorSync Profile) exporting images out of Aperture is sRGB! AND the Export Presets switch back to sRGB after changing. This happens with the own Export Presets too. I think this is a bug.

My Resume after a lot of tests:
* Pictures without a ICC color profile got a sRGB Profile without asking.
* Export RAW Pictures out of Aperture from my Nikon D70 with the embedded Adobe-RGB ICC profile using "Use Source Profile" ends into a profile called "Linear RGB" opening the file in Photoshop.
There are no problems with Photoshop embedded ICC-Profiles. This is RAW (Nikon D70) only.
* Export Presets always switch back to sRGB after changing. This happens with my own Export Presets too. (Using "Export Version")
Are there other People with this problem?

Batch change colorsync profile

I have moved an iPhoto library from a PowerBook to an iMac. For all photos I had the Color LCD colorsync profile embedded, which looks good in the PowerBook but washed-out in the iMac. I now embed the sRGB profile for new pictures, but I would like to batch change the old ones. Snow Leopard has an Embed script that will change the profile. Would it be safe to show contents in the iPhoto Library and drag the folders containing the old photos onto the script? Apart from Modified and Originals do I need to do this for other folders?
Many thanks
George

George:
You could apply the new color profile to the original and modified files and iPhoto would see them when you opened iPhoto the next time. However, unless do you the same for the thumbnails the thumbnail will not display the sRGB profile while the original or modified will.
Select an event to test on. The hardest part will be finding a modified version since the subfolder in the Modified folder will often be just have the date modified as the folder name. What you can do is convert the originals and thumbnails and then do a Revert to Original for all the photos and that will get rid of the modified files that weren't converted.
NOTE: That's the only change/edit to photos you can made from the Finder to the contents of the iPhoto Library. Any other type of change/edit will mess up the library.

Why doesn't Mozilla Firefox admit Profile bug, regarding "unresponsive plugin" Shockwave problem?

I'm a longtime user, more than 10 years, of Firefox and of Netscape before that. This is the first time I've ever seen "unresponsive plugin," let alone for Shockwave. I followed _every_ solution suggested. Checked up-to-date of plugins and reinstalled several even though they were up to date. Even reinstalled Firefox. Ran a complete Norton scan on my system (totally clear). Finally. On the ADOBE help forum, not on Mozilla's (!!!), someone said that blowing away their Profile and starting anew fixed the problem. This is a drastic step, because it nukes every saved Firefox bookmark and setting. BUT IT WORKS. Dear Mozilla Progammers: You have a PROFILE bug. Please admit it and fix it.

Hi cumulus, sorry you have had a problem.
It is good to know it is fixed. Had you posted here first you would almost certainly have fixed your issue without loosing bookmarks.
Everyone's profile is different it contains the individual users settings
* see [[Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles]]
Using a new profile may well be one fix for some such problems although it is the proverbial sledgehammer and nut approach. There is a long thread about this that I recently locked as it was getting totally unreadable.
* Warning: Unresponsive Plugin; Shockwave flash may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. [/questions/957423]
** The Firefox Reset one popular solutions removes most of the profile
** A clean reinstall could optionally remove the Firefox Profile
** Other solutions and topics are linked from that thread.
* Creating a new profile and trying using that would have been a better suggestion [[Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles]]
This sort of problem can have more than one cause. If removing the profile solves the issue then a less drastic method that almost certainly would work is to create and use a new profile and use that ''without'' destroying the original profile. (Copy the original profile elsewhere)
* see [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
It is highly likely that only part of the profile causes the problem.
* [[Recovering important data from an old profile]]
As noted in the other thread this forum is not a place where you will get developer attention.
===Do you have the ''Profile Bug'' ?===
OR Unresponsive Plugin Problem, with FlashPlayer 
If there is a ''profile bug'' then a bug report may be filed for developers attention, and the first stage of doing that is to be able to carefully document steps to reproduce the problem
*. So anyone ''blowing away the profile'' should first of all back it up
**Being able to reinstall the faulty profile should then reproduce the problem and so demonstrate clearly that the profile is the cause of the problem Or just use the profile manager to switch profiles it is simpler and quicker
** Next even before considering filing a bug try reinstalling or activating different parts of the profile to narrow down the problem.

Shared Libraries on Mac OSX Server - Colorsync Profiles, Fonts etc.

Hello,
Our office have 10.5.5 Server running with approximately 25 clients attached (all on Mac OSX 10.5.5). We have a number of colour printers which we regularly profile, and are trying to find a way to syncronise Colorsync profiles across the client machines.
I have read that it is possible to share a library on the Server...ie. update the Colorsync profiles in one location on the server and all the clients would have immediate access to this. Makes sense.
However, our external IT consultant has advised me that when you share a Library, it will share everything (fonts, settings, application support files etc.) and will essentially replace an overwrite the local library on each machine. We would like to avoid this as we only want to share the Colorsync profiles and have them be additive to the local library rather than overwrite the whole lot.
Is he correct? I can't believe that it wouldn't be possible just to share the Colorsync profiles...ie. set the share point at the 'Colorsync' level in the library?
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

anyone?

Have i found another big bug? from 2nd monitor profile bug to Exp panel bug

Well 2.0.1 is out and i was hoping for a fix for the second monitor color profile bug ... but no, not yet.
But guess what .. i think i have found another little treat.
Ok here we go, click on the Exposure, Recovery or Black Point sliders (but don't move them), notice anything?
On my system as soon as you click, the shadows block up. Take your finger of the button and they shadows go back to normal.
Next .. click and slide, when the button is down... blocked shadows again, release the button and shadows open up.
This also happens in the White balance panel.
Also we still have the tint slider problem, click it and it jumps the tint.
The exposure and white balance problem only happens in full screen mode.
It happens on my second monitor when running in mirror or alternate (or any other of the settings)
If i press the F key and go full screen on my macbook pro, the same thing happens on the macbook's screen.
Press the Z key to zoom to 100% and the problem goes away on either screen.
But get this ..... click any of the sliders in the Enhance panel before going to the Exposure panel (you don't have to move them), then go back to the exposure panel and...EVERYTHING FINE.....whaaaaaaat.
So now i have a second monitor with dodgy colors and an exposure panel glitch.
Thought this was an update!!!
Anyone else got this problem?
Oh, just to add, i have deleted pref files, deleted aperture altogether, re-installed 2.0 and 2.0.1, rebuilt library, tried on another library...all with no joy.
Sigh

Colorsync profile list empty

I have .icc profiles in both my user and system ColorSync Profile folders and when I try to select a profile from within an application, my ColorSync Profile list is empty. Anyone have any ideas?

Absolutely use the calibrated profile. sRGB originated as an approximation of what most CRT monitors could display. But it was just an approximation and differs quite a bit from Color LCD or any calibrated profile. Color LCD for MacBook Pros is actually quite a bit smaller than sRGB and reflects the fact that laptop LCDs can't display the same range of colours as, say, and Apple Cinema Display. Have a look at the different profiles in ColorSync Utility to get a feel for what they all look like. Select a profile and then rotate the 3-D map of the profile in the right-hand side pane.
If you have calibrated your monitor and they came out with a green tint I would suggest that the problem is more likely with the printer rather than your monitor. (You are way ahead of 95% of people - myself included - by using a hardware calibrator; nonetheless, you could do the calibration again and compare the resulting profiles by, say, switching between them and seeing how that affects your colour display on your monitor or by comparing them in ColorSync Utility.)
To isolate the problem - try using a different printer for your next run and compare. Indeed, if you have the time and care enough, try sending the same file to various printers to see the variation. Pick one you are happy with and then stick with them.

Where are ICC profiles stored in Aperture? Formerly they were stored in the home map. I make my own ICC profiles, with Color Munki. I can't find them back in the /library/colorSync/Profiles. I'm using a Canon printer iPF5100

ICC profiles
Formerly ICC profiles where placed in the Home map: library/colorcync/profiles. But the home map does

Kees, the color profiles are still stored in your user library in
~/ColorSync/Profiles/
I can't find them back in the /library/colorSync/Profiles.
Are you looking in the System Library folder /Library/colorSync/Profiles at the top level of your system drive?
As you probably know, your User Library is hidden since Mac OS X Lion.
You can reveal it from the Finder's "Go" menu in the main menu bar:
Finder > Go
Then hold down to options-key ⌥, until Library appears in the drop-down menu. Select it and open the Library.

Problem on Mac OS [ColorSync/Profiles/EW-sRGB Tag 'desc': Tag size is not correct. Could not be fixed.]

Problem on Mac OS [ColorSync//Profiles/EW-sRGB
Tag 'desc': Tag size is not correct. Could not be fixed.]
My screen contrast has gone awry and the ColorSync Utility is unable to fix the problem. In searching the wisdom of the web, I found a response from 2009 on another forum, which referenced this forum. But the thread is gone. The information was in regard to the Color Profiler. Can anyone help? Has anyone had to deal with this? I found a lot of people looking to fix this, but not a lot of follow-up replies with answers. I have tried reinstalling the file from a back-up and re-booting, but to no avail. Some have suggested a problem with the Epson software. But without any detail, I don't know what to look to change. Any help, advice, cures, etc. would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Sorry, I thought you asked what course of action to take.
It means the data for that "tag" in the profile is not the size expected - I know, that's obvious too. The 'dmnd' tag contains the manufacturer's description.

You could try opening it in ColorSync Utility and editing the tag.

ColorSync profiles and image size

For some reasons, why I apply a colorsync profile to an image and save the image, the file size goes down by about 50%. Does anyone know why this happens or how this can be avoided?
Could it have something to do with the fact that when you save an image in Preview is it's pre-set to save JPG images at 'almost best' quality, but not 'best' quality?
Does this 50% decrease in file size mean the image has been compressed and lost information?
Also, while I'm on the topic, which is the best coloursync profile to apply to my images if I may use them for creating iPhoto books? The sRGB profile makes the images look a bit dark on my screen, as does Camera RGB. However, the sRGB IEC1996-2.1 looks about the right one, but I don't really know much about color management.

Hi Tom,
Everytime you save an image as a jpg it does become more compressed and is usually a smaller file size. That does not necessarily mean that you are losing image quality.
When you save images, you are most of the time optimizing the image. Which means, trying to make the file size as small as possible without any loss in image quality. Optimization is the result of the images you see on the internet, they need to be of high quality but a reasonable file size.
For printing purposes you probably would want to save the file as 'highest' possible quality. I have printed 5mb jpg files to as large as 20 x 30 with no loss of quality. Preview allows you to save at the highest quality by using the 'Save As' option...
Color Profile - As far as what others may see compared to what you see on your screen. I would probably bet almost everyone will see a slightly different image depending on computer type, screen, monitor brightness etc.

Embed ColorSync profile, how to get back to original color profile?

I am a bit shocked , experienced today that iPhoto by default embed ColorSync profile (found under general- advanced settings for iPhoto) to every photo imported.
I always believed (and trusted) iphoto did not change the original file from the memory card. I have compared today the file from the memory card and the one found under originals in iPhoto library and see now that iphoto darken the shadows area a bit, in my eyes not a good thing.
So my question is , is the process done by iPhoto reversible? Can I get back the original profile (sRGB I believe) for my photos?

iPhoto by default embed ColorSync profile (found under general- advanced settings for iPhoto) to every photo imported.
Well let's get past the shock for you. It doesn't.
If the photo has a pre-existing color profile then the file is not touched. iPhoto uses the one already embedded. It only adds a profile if 1: there is none present and 2. If you check the box.
The profile attached is virtually indistinguishable from sRGB, just adapted slightly for Apple monitors.
Search the Help for ColorSync. This explains it quite clearly.

Missing ColorSync Profiles

I'm missing quite a few ColorSync profiles in the Color part of the Displays system preference. They show up in ColorSync Utility and are viewable in the Finder, but they don't show up in System Preferences. I can make new profiles fine, but how do I get my old ones back?

To piggyback on the question above (and I'm not sure what I did), but my factory profiles are missing from Library/Colorsync/Profiles. The Generic profiles are in there, but none for iMac. From the ColorSync Display Calibrator app, I keep getting the error "Can not calibrate the display. The factory profile for the display could not be found. "
Short of reinstalling my system, is this profile located anywhere for download? I tried searching the Apple site to no avail...
Thanks in advance for any help.

Odd colorsync profile behavior when printing

I'm having a bit of an odd situation when printing out of Aperture. When choosing ANY colorsync profile in the print dialog box that ends in .icc, the color of the preview image and the resulting print is off horribly, in the blue/purple direction. When a profile that doesn't contain .icc in the listed name is chosen, the print is fine.
Example
+SPR2400 PremSmgls Photo.icc+ results in wrong color rendering
+SPR2400 PremiumSemigloss+ works just fine
This isn't limited to Epson profiles; I have a few profiles from Ilford and Innova which are doing the same thing.
I should note that this didn't used to happen, and started after the upgrade to 2.14 and/or 10.6/1---i did both basically simultaneously, so I'm not sure which might be the culprit.
The error doesn't happen when printing out of Photoshop, for what it's worth. And yes, I have color management turned off at the printer level, so it's only being handled by the application.
Thanks.

I had a comparable problem with my Epson Stylus Photo R1800. Once I set the profile back to the SPR1800 Premium Glossy the funky colors were corrected. Then, however, prints were far too dark. Setting the Gamma in the Print dialog to 1.3 got it back to an acceptable quality, albeit a bit too dark still. I have spent a lot of electrons with Epson support and they were of minimal help through this entire fiasco. Basically I had to "hunt and peck" with different settings to get to the point where the print quality was acceptable. I have shared my findings with them so hopefully they'll pass them on to folks who contact them. They say they are "constantly" working on new drivers to solve such problems, but gave me no projection as to when that might be. All this started after upgrading to 10.6.

Can't Use Previous Colorsync Profile

I just changed from a 17 in to a 19 in lcd monitor - same brand, just a difference in size.
When I was using the 17 in I used the Display Calibrator in System Prefs to create a profile I liked. Although it still appears in the Colorsync Profile folder, it does not show up to be selected in System Preferences with 19 in monitor hooked up.
Why would the old profile not be selectable?
I have tried making a new calibration, but I can't duplicate the old one exactly. What can I do to make the old one selectable, or create a new one just like it?
Thanks.

Could you possibly have the "Show profiles for this display only" checkbox checked? That would probably prevent the previous profile from showing up in the list.
Otherwise, maybe open the Colorsync Utility (in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder) and use the Profile First Aid pane to verify or repair your profiles.
Hope this helps...
