Assigning monitor profiles

I use a Mac Pro with the NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT graphics card. I use two Apple monitors: a 20 inch Cinema (aluminum frame) and a 20 inch Apple Cinema Display (plastic frame). The aluminum frame monitor is the "main monitor." Using the Huey Pro calibrator I can match the monitors very well. However, the Huey profiles do not "stick" to their respective monitors. That is, on a reboot or an ambient light correction it is very likely that one or both monitors will suddenly use the incorrect profile. The Huey people cannot help; they say it doesn't happen for them.
The only unusual aspect of my system is that the older monitor is connected and powered via the Apple ADC to DVI adaptor. Might this affect the assignment of profiles, given that it does some digital signal processing?
I'm happy with the Huey profiles. Can anyone suggest a way that I can specifically assign a given profile to a given monitor?

if you want to use the ambient light feature it will be kind of hard but if not then the easiest way for me is to just calibrate each monitor separately and name the profile specifically for each monitor then I drag the new profiles from the "user > library > colorsync > profiles" folder where they are saved to the desktop then I turn huey off under the "accounts > login items" preference pane so it won't load at startup. This also gets rid of the huey icon in your menu bar after a reboot.
After I reboot I then drag the profiles from the desktop back to the profiles folder, I then open my display preferences pane and select the profiles for each monitor. I've tried it without dragging the profiles to the desktop first but if you do that and remove huey from the login items it always removed the profiles as well for some reason. Huey is stubborn...

Dual monitor profile problem

Macbook pro 4,1 , epson 4800, Dell 24" wide gamut display and I'm having the exact same problems as this 3 year old thread!!!
https://discussions.apple.com/message/7289716#7289716
Can't print using profiles as wrong profile gets applied. This all happens with laptop NOT in clamshell mode, which I prefer so that I can use all screen real estate.

Call Epson support and see if they can give you a complete trouble-shooting algorithm.
The following works for me (I don't think it will work for you, but it may give some leads to explore):
- I keep the menu bar on my laptop
- I put Aperture on my wide-gamut monitor (NEC PA271W)
- I keep secondary display set to "Desktop"
- I never run full-screen
- I confirm the monitor profile at least once a day, and every time I change monitors (I work in two locations, ea. with an external monitor). By "confirm" I mean that I re-assign the profile, not that I re-calibrate the display.
- I have the external monitor connected directly with an mfr-supplied mini-DisplayPort (iirc) to DisplayPort (iirc) cable. This was important.
- I had to take some care with the Epson set-up. All I can suggest here is most recent drivers. I first got the USB connection to finally work, and then got the Ethernet connection to work properly as well.
I mention all of that because in the thread you linked there are comments about both the external monitor not using the correct profile, as well as the printer not using the correct profile.
I would first confirm (you likely already have) that the printer works properly printing from Aperture with no external monitor. After that, things get tricky.
What I picked up from some poking around and talking with knowledgeable people is that OS X does not do a good job with color. (I was surprised.)
Sorry I don't have any real help to provide. Good luck.

Photoshop Elements 11 - 'Monitor Profile Defective' Message

When opening Editor in Photoshop Elements 11, I get the warning message "The Monitor profile 'Dell S2240L Colour Profile, D65' appears to be defective. Please rerun your monitor calibration software".
I have recently upgraded from Windows 8 to 8.1 and also had to download DirectPlay when opening PE 11. Before upgrading, PE11 worked fine for over a year on same desktop and monitor (both only 1 year old). Driver monitor is up to date.
Please can someone tell me the possible cause and my options. I have seen lots of posts on this and other forums but not sure which is the right answer. Could 8.1 upgrade have caused it by changing a setting or is that just coincidence? Would re-install of PE11 make any difference?
Would appreciate help as this is infuriating (also happened on my old desktop with earlier version of PE)!
Thanks.

PSE doesn’t like your monitor profile, for some reason. It would seem that either your monitor profile is defective or PSE11 cannot read the monitor profile, now.
Try changing it to sRGB and see if the message stops:

'The monitor profile "LCD color management and conversion" PSE6

Does anyone know how to correct this? I can find older posts but they date back too far. Where they say to go and what do has changed since.
The monitor profile LCD color management and conversion appears to be defective. Please rerun your monitor calibration software.
Everything dispalys in a cream color background and nothing prints correct color. I have PSE6.

todls1:
I'm guessing this message appears when you start the PSE6 Editor?
If so, what you should select is Ignore, and check the box to not show the message again. (Alternatively, you can remove the profile. If you wish to do this, tell me what edition of Windows you have and I can provide instructions.)
Essentially, you have a profile installed for your computer's monitor, either installed automatically by Windows Updates, it came with your computer, or it was installed with a driver (or piece of software) for your monitor.
This type of profile is "generic" and does not contain color calibration information.
Elements looks for profiles assigned to your monitor, because if the profile was created as part of a color calibration process, then that profile contains information that will help Elements to ensure that the colors you see on the screen are accurate.
Color is a complicated topic, especially when you introduce computer monitors, but suffice it to say that each monitor has various things that can make it display the same image in a way that's different from every other monitor. These things can include age of the monitor, the specific settings (e.g. contrast, brightness, etc.) of the monitor, and the lighting conditions in the room. When you calibrate a monitor using specialized calibration hardware/software, the calibration software creates a profile that tells programs on your computer (like Elements) about all these factors and how to compensate for them to ensure everything is displayed correctly.
Sorry for what may seem a long-winded explanation, but just understand that using the "generic" profile instead of one created by specialized calibration equipment has caused colors to appear incorrectly in Elements and are likely contributing to the problem when printing. This is why you should select Ignore.

Delete Monitor Profile in Photoshop CS5

I have a corrupted monitor profile in CS5. Everytime I open the application, I receive the error window. I have rerun the SpyderPro app and recalibrated but continue to receive the error. How do I delete the profile so this is no longer pickable as an option under Assign Profile? I cannot find this profile anywhere.
Thank you.

Maybe the "Samsung - Natural Color Pro 1.0 ICM" file is already deleted physically from the HDD, but Windows (registry / control panel) and/or the app with the error are still pointing to it? In this case you need to select a different monitor profile in your OS. What OS are you on?
ColoradoBodie wrote:
I did go into the ProfileChooser for Datacolor and the Samsung profile is not there. My hidden files are also shown. I think the profile is embedded somewhere in Photoshop, but I can't seem to find it.
Press Ctrl+Shift+K in PS. Is your "Samsung - Natural Color Pro 1.0 ICM" selected somewhere in this settings window (in section "woking spaces")? It shouldn't be. Select a different working space.

Monitor Profile incorrect on Dual Monitor Setup

Hello,
I've searched the forums and I can't find an answer to my problem. I've read about dual monitor setups in Windows and how to set the defaults and whatnot, but it doesn't seem to fix my problem.
I am running on an nVidia GeForce 8600M GT, Windows 7 x64, Photoshop CS4 x64. I calibrated my main display (Dell Vostro 1700) as well as the attached monitor (ASUS VK246H) using Datacolor Spyder3Elite. Both monitor profiles seem to load just fine. I've also went into Windows' color manager and set the system defaults for each monitor respectively. The problem I'm having is that if I were to load Photoshop on the 2nd monitor, Photoshop only uses the main display's color profile (Vostro 1700) and not the ASUS VK246H profile. What could be going wrong?
Just to clarify, what I mean by "loading PS on the 2nd monitor" is that when I execute Photoshop.exe, the splash screen and main window shows up on the 2nd monitor, not the main monitor (which is what I want).

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
Chris Cox wrote:
What if the image is in between two monitors?
The piece on each display is corrected for the display it is on.
Is it supposed to work that way? Because it doesn't. Not with Photoshop CS5 x64 at least.
As a test I intentionally misconfigured the profile for my Monitor #1 (left) so that it's REALLY OBVIOUS which profile is being used. When set this way, on Monitor #1 red colors will appear pale orange.
An open document, floating in a window:
If COMPLETELY displayed on Monitor #1, Photoshop will use the Monitor #1 profile.
If even 1 pixel of the edge of the image is moved onto Monitor #2, it will use the Monitor #2 profile on the entire image.

How to assign status profile to components in service order

Hi,
For my business requirement, I want to assign status to individual components planned in the service order. Even though there is a status button on the component tab, there is no config where I can assign the status profile. We can only assign status profile to the order header and the operations and not to components level.
As SAP has provided the status button in the component tab, I am hoping that there is a way to assign the status to the parts planned.
Your help is much appreciated.
Regards,
Ram.

hi all,
It will be helpful if you give any useful tips on maintaining status for the component level in the service order.

How to assign status profile to marketing campaign ?

Dear Friends,
I am working on Marketing Campaign (SAP CRM 4.0) : I want to customize a new status profile for campaign. I create a new one and I don't know where I assign it to camapign : I searched in SDN and I found a message : "to assign status profile, you have to do when you customize campaign type : Marketing -> Marketing Planning and Campaign Management -> Basic Data -> Define Campaign Types/Objectives/Tactics : in this customizing point, when you define campaign type, here is a status profile field".
The problem is I did not find any "status profile" field in this customizing point.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,
Pls follow below said path to create User Status profile
CRM--> Marketing > Marketing Planning and Campaign Management> General Setting --> Change Status Profile for User Status
Once you create Status profile you can see the same in the profile field of Campaign. You will have to assign this profile in the campaign then you can see the statusses in Change Status field,. But these stausses can not over write the system statusses.
Hope this will help..

Photoshop CS5 still chooses wrong monitor profile in dual monitor case?

The folk lore has it that if you go to EDIT/COLOR SETTINGS and open the Working Spaces RGB drop down, then what it says near the top on the "Monitor RGB" line is the monitor profile that photoshop is actually using.
If that is true, then I would expect that if I run photoshop on my monitor 1 it would show the profile of monitor 1, and if I run PS on monitor 2 it would show the profile of monitor 2. But in fact, it always shows the profile of monitor 1. Naturally, this creates anxiety that PS is using the wrong profile to display my images, since I normally run with the image on monitor 2.
My setup: Windows 7 64-bit, PS 12.0.1 x64. Matrox M9120 graphics card driving two monitors. Windows CONTROL PANEL/COLOR MANAGEMENT shows a different profile active on each monitor.
(By running photoshop on a particular monitor, I mean I run photoshop, drag it in non-full screen mode to the desired monitor, and close it. Then I run it again and it starts on that monitor (including the splash screen).)

Emil, Sorry, I disagree. It relates entirely to how Photoshop handles profiles, not how the operating system does.
Windows operating system doesn't handle color profiles at all, but it provides all programs that do with the same way to handle them. If you have the color profiles of your monitors installed properly in the system, they will be equally available to all programs. If a program can use properly one color profile for one monitor it will do the same with more.
PeterFacey wrote:
I also have CorelDraw which is a colour managed application. If I set that straddling two monitors, do you think it will use the appropriate monitor profile for each half? I don't know, ...
I don't have CorelDraw and don't know if it is color managed, but if it is and if the color management on your system is working properly it should give you the same result as Photoshop. Just go ahead and check it - open the same image in Photoshop and in CorelDraw and make a screen capture then measure the RGB values in Photoshop or any program that displays the RGB numbers of colors. But have in mind that a screen capture from multiple monitors that share the desktop will capture the entire shared desktop on one image (if monitors are different sizes it will leave blank areas around the smaller one depending on the alignment), but the same colors will be the same on the entire screen capture using the effect from the color profile only of your main monitor. So if you want to measure how the other monitor displays the RGB color values of the same color, you have to change it to your main monitor in your system in order to have the screen capture with the effect of that monitor's color profile.
On my computer using Windows 7, all color managed programs show the same colors on one or more monitors. Along with the color managed programs from Adobe like Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and AfterEffects, the other color managed programs like Windows Explorer, Windows Media Player, Firefox, QuickTime, etc also show the same RGB values of a color from each program on a certain monitor.
Basically, if the color management is working properly, the same color displayed from all color managed programs should look the same or as close as possible on each monitor, but when you capture the screen and measure the RGB values they should be different on each monitor unless the monitors are physically identical which is unreal.

Photoshop Elements 9 monitor profile is defective in Windows 8.1

I'm using Windows 8.1 and Photoshop Elements 9. When I start the program I get the message "The monitor profile [name] appears to be defective. Please rerun your monitor calibration software." How do I do this? Apparently Adobe Gamma is obsolete for this problem. Also, the forum only talks about Photoshop 6.0-7x and Windows versions prior to 8.1.

Please check if the downloads are the full size, and not somehow truncated.
PhotoshopElements_9_LS15.exe : 1.16 MB = 1,199 KB = 1,227,128 bytes

Safari doesn't load monitor profiles

I'm using my mac book pro's internal display with an external display connected through mini display port. I calibrated both of them, but safari 4.0 doesn't load the profiles while firefox does. I looked through safari preferences but I found nothing about color management or monitor profiles.
Any comments would be apprecieated.

Just tested on mine and it's working.
Are you on Wi-Fi? Mine is.

Assign User Profiles and Web Interface Transactions to Users

Hi EM Gurus,
Has anyone worked with not standard scenarios in SCEM?
They are working well but I can't access them on interface web.
In selection page (search page after logon), where choose tracking scenarios, only standard scenarios appear although I have assigned both scenarios to the user and made same configuration; Assigned and Defined Web Interface Transactions, Configured Fields for User Profiles, Defined User Profiles, Assigned User Profiles and Web Interface Transactions to Users.
But only Standard Scenarios appear as choice of tracking scenarios that are displayed to the user as a dropdown box on the selection screen after logging on to the Web interface.
Has anyone accessed not standard scenarios on interface web??
Help, please!
Thanks a lot.
Rodrigo Freitas

Hello Rodrigo,
if you have assigned the scenarios to your user in transaction /SAPTRX/UCUSER you must go to the admin page and reload the profile manager.
/admin in the URL of the WCL instead /ehsearch.
Afterwards you should see them also in the drop-down box.
Best regards,
Steffen

Lightroom not using the Monitor Profile

I have recently set up a new computer with a new monitor. When I got PS and Lightroom set up on the new system I noticed that when viewing photos in both applications the colors are VERY different compared to how they look viewed online or in another photo viewer from my desktop (windows 8). I also noticed that when I opened PS I got a message saying that the Monitor Profile is "bad" and I could opt out to ignore the profile. When I did ignore it the color looks fine. Blacks are black, gray's are gray, etc . . . Anyway, I am wondering if there is a way I can have Lightroom ignore the profile as well. I have a monitor calibrator and I will try that, but I am wondering if it will do anything only because other applications look fine. Hope someone can shed some light on this!

First of all, Photoshop and Lightroom are fully color managed applications that will actually use the monitor profile to display the image.Many other applications (viewers/browsers) are not and will just ignore it. So there's a difference right there.
That said, when you get that message in Photoshop, it means exactly what it says. That profile is bad and should not be used.
The real solution is to use a calibrator to make a new custom profile for your monitor. Until you get that up and running, use sRGB IEC61966-22.1 as monitor profile. You set this up in Control Panel > Color Management > Devices:
