Aurora Image: Color Profile Before Login vs. After

Does anyone know what the color profile is before the user is logged in?
I've noticed that the Aurora image looks great, before the user account logs in and then suddenly it's washed out... Of course the profile can be adjusted manually, but I haven't been able to recreate the look of the pre-login screen.
Any thoughts?

If none of the previous suggestions work for you then try the following as a last resort:
System Preferences>Display>Display
Check the Colors & Brightness settings.
My Color setting is set to Millions which I believe is the default setting.
Now click on the Color button.
Check Display Profile
Is Show profiles for this display only enabled or disabled?
If necessary click on the Calibrate button & do the necessary.
Now in the bottom right corner, click on the purple button w/the black ? mark in the middle. This will bring up the help window.
Midway down, click on the Colorsync Utility link.
The next window should be Profile First Aid.

Color Profile seems to change after Screensaver?

Sometimes when my computer comes back from a screensaver, I notice that everything is super tinted/washed in BLUE.....
So I go into system preferences (thinking that my color profile has been changed to some other default) but the very instant I click the icon 'displays', my settings (which is 'color LCD') restore again.
So I'm not sure what profile it was on that caused this blue wash (though having previewed the other profiles, it's almost like it falls on to 'Apple RGB', 'Adobe RGB',..etc. for this blue wash look).
It's very annoying.
The screen saver I have is the 'cosmic' one and I haven't noticed it when awaking from sleep. Just the screensaver.
It's almost like it switches color profiles for some reason.
I wonder if I can delete all other profiles other than the 'color lcd' one (which is the default one) so that it has nothing else to fall back to. I have also tried to 'repair color profiles' using the ColorSync Utility but there was no 'repairing' to be done.
Thanks!

I've got this problem, too.
I bought a new MacBookPro 17" late last month (it was built in January '07). I found nothing immediately wrong with it when I first started it. I initially made a new profile for it, before I migrated fully, just to make sure it worked alright.
I migrated over about a week ago and right away I noticed a problem with the display's Color Profiles. Either user account can startup the machine and the Color Profiles worked fine. I made two basic ones to account for daytime and nightime lighting conditions.
The problem occurs when using the fast-user switching, that's when the screen goes blue and the Color Profiles are no longer able to be activated. When I try to click on one to select it the computer just gives me a warning tone. Once this does occur it stays that way, even of one of the users accounts is logged out.
I can guarantee to be locked out of all LCD color profiles and locked into what seems to be the screen's native unadulterated state, which is quite blue, even when seen in daylight.
When I run Display Calibrator I get this interesting warning message:
Can not calibrate the display
The factory profile for the display could not be found.
I am starting an AppleCare work order on it.
And probably one for the crappy backlight on the 17" MacBookPro, too, but that's another thread.

Display image color profile

Can LR display the ICC color profile name of an image ?
Had to turn to Photoshop
to retreive that info I had forgotten to add in the file name ( "Picture_zzz_xxxPrinter_yyyPaper_profile_nnnDPI_WxH.tif" )
pretty basic, isn't it ?
Moreover long filenames are truncated and show only in metadata File Name block in right panel.
But that's another story !

Dear DLScreative,
please let us not fight over words - fact is, that with at least 2 totally different users and 4 different Mac computers Aperture 3.x behaves totally different (i.e. cannot display these images) than Aperture 2.x. The special color profile is embedded because 15.000 images were scanned with a Nikon LS5000
scanner. I don't know how to upload this color profile (which has been tested to be correct) to this
forum. Would you care if I sent you an E-Mail with the special profile attached so you could yourself
try and see?
Regards,

Color profile problem after installing CS4

OK.
First, let me post these side-by-side comparisons:
As you can see in Image 1 (the "before," left-side photo in each comparison), the colors and overall appearance are distorted. I've read things about gamma but it's all confusing to me. This is surely a color profile problem, right? The transition among pixels that involve colors of yellow and gray is rocky, grainy, and the flat out color is just wrong. Now this color problem affects pictures when opened in both Photoshop 7.0 and the standard Windows Photo Viewer. Meaning, whenever I open pictures in both PS 7.0 and Windows Photo Viewer (my default viewer), this color problem totally messes up certain photos and really damages my ability to edit. I'm an avid photo editor and it's imperative I have proper color display so that I can accurately edit. Keep in mind that certain pictures do not take on this error. When a photo is generally brighter, the distortion is basically invisible. It's photos that are dark or have dark portions in them that display the distortion.
*Note: I took these before-and-after pictures with my camera, because screencapping would not work, since you all don't have the same color profile issue on your computer. That's the only way I can show you!
HOWEVER, when I open photos in another standard Windows application, "Microsoft Office Picture Manager," the color problem is magically erradicated altogether. It shows photos as I've been seeing them all along, until I installed CS4 about two weeks ago. Before installing CS4, everything was fine and I had been using Photoshop 7 for years and have never had a problem. I'm guessing CS4 messed something up. It had to have. Just FYI, I uninstalled CS4, hoping it would reverse the problem. But still, the color issue persists in PS 7 and in my regular Windows Photo Viewer.
Since images display their true form in Windows Office Picture Manager, I don't think I need to calibrate my screen. Or do I? I've read things about it, and to some people, it's not necessary. Right? Okay. I really hope someone can give some advice! Thank you!
P.S. Here's the original photo. On my screen, it looks distorted when opened in photoshop or opened w/the viewer. However, here on Firefox, it's fine.

You should try to familiarize yourself with the concepts of color management.
It's kind of too in-depth a subject to walk you through from a cold start here... There are a lot of good resources out there to help you get started. For example, in just a few seconds Google turned up this:
http://www.adobepress.com/articles/article.asp?p=1315593
The one thing to remember is this: There is NO quick solution, easy set of defaults, or direct answer to making your setup do what you want without your having to understand color management.
People may tell you to calibrate your monitors, or use a particular color profile as a default, or whatever, and they may have good, solid reasons for telling you those things, but if you don't attempt to get your mind around color management it will always seem as though something isn't working right, or is simply magic, which will be frustrating to you.
Here are some basic questions to ponder:
What image color profile is your image carrying?
Is your monitor a wide-gamut display and do you have a color profile set up for it? What kind of monitor is it?
What version of Windows are you running?
Do you know the difference between a color-managed app and one that is not color-managed?
Which of the apps you're using/showing above are color-managed?
What are your settings in Edit - Color Settings?
Take some time and do some research, get your head around the concepts, and it will all make more sense I promise you.

Login Window Color Profile Problem

I just upgraded my Mac Pro from 10.4.11 to 10.5.8 and finally to 10.6. I downloaded the 10.6.4 Combo update and all was fine. When I ran the next round of updates, which included the “Snow Leopard Graphics Update,” my calibrated display color profile was switched to the standard “VGA Display” color profile. That in itself wasn’t a big deal as I readily switched it back (on all 3 user accounts) but, the Login window now uses the standard “VGA Display” color profile and it looks terrible. I have a NEC MultiSync P1150 19” VGA CRT. The video card is the nVidia 7300GT that came with the Mac. This monitor was one I originally spec’d for a friend of mine back in the late 1990’s (MFG date is 1997) and the color is so good yet that I see no reason to replace it. The monitor is not the issue here.
My question; Is there a .conf file for the login window that I can edit so it selects my calibrated color profile instead? I’ve read the articles http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1083 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4286 and it doesn’t appear that I even need this update.
I imaged my hard drive after each OS upgrade so I have a day old image to revert to 10.5.8 if needed and then run the updates again (this time skipping the graphic update) but, I would rather not have to spend the several hours to revert and upgrade again.
I have some experience with command line editing in Unix/Linux. I just need to know the correct file(s) to edit. Also, do I have to enable the Root user to do this? I seem to remember reading somewhere that the Root user by default is not enabled in Mac OSX.
TIA…..Paul

So, I went ahead and restored from my 10.5.8 image. I upgraded to 10.6 and the login screen matches my user color profile. After the upgrade to 10.6, OSX changed the default color profile to “VGA Display” instead of the “VGA Display Calibrated” profile I had created back in 10.4.11. This uncalibrated color profile looked fine at this point so I left it at that setting. It actually looked a little better that my older calibrated profile. So, no real problem here.
BTW the older calibrated profile was created using OSX calibration tools in 10.4.x. I’m going to calibrate again in 10.6.4 and see what it looks like. This monitor has excellent color. Game play is super and film photography editing on it has always reproduced very nice matching images.
I then updated from 10.6 to 10.6.4 with no additional updates applied. The problem with the “Color Profile Challenged Login Screen” happened after the 10.6.4 Combo Update. The “VGA Display” profile had somehow been altered. I switched to Apple RGB and that matched the pre-10.6.4 VGA Display profile.
Apparently I wasn’t paying close enough attention during the first install. I can deduce at this point that the graphics update wasn’t the problem as I had previously reported. I did set each user color profile to Apple RGB but the login window stays at altered VGA Display. I don’t feel like experimenting with previous combo updates to identify which one is the culprit. I had a few nights to work this out and now I want to get back to using my Mac for other things. I’m going to go ahead and run the rest of the other updates including the graphics update.
I hope I can get an answer here to see if there is a conf file I can edit to set the login window to use a color profile of my choice. It’s a minor but glaring annoyance that a slightly Monk’ish person like me would like to remedy.
Otherwise, the system runs fine (even with only 1GB RAM) and my CS1 suite appears to have full functionality.
TAIA…..Paul

Smart objects and convert color profile behaviour

I get different results when converting to the same color profile before and after converting to smart object. Why?
Do the following:
1. create a cmyk document with color profile 'Euroscale Uncoated v2' and fill the document with the color 86, 32, 14, 0
2. change the color profile to 'Euroscale Coated v2' -> the values change to 73, 29, 16, 0, no color change on the monitor
3. create a smart object -> the values stay the same, no color change on the monitor
4. create a second document like in step 1
5. create a smart object -> the values stay the same, no color change on the monitor
6. now change the color profile to 'Euroscale Coated v2' -> the values stay the same, this time we have a color change on the monitor
Why don't I get the same result?

I found this topic looking for an answer to this exact same problem.
Many of you refer to it as a bug / unexpected behaviour, which i thought it was either. But after some tests, it seems very logical behaviour actually to me now.
It simply follows the rules in the color settings.
In "Color Management Policies", when CMYK is set to "Preserve Embedded Profiles", it keeps the CMYK numbers for smart objects. Setting this to "Convert to Working CMYK" would make the color conversion as expected.
However, i don't think this would be a good idea (depending on your workflow offcourse). For example, pasting a 100K shape from a coated.icc illustrator file into an uncoated.icc photoshop file, as a smart object, would convert the 100K (not keeping the CMYK numbers).
I guess the workarround with a CMYK smart object into an RGB smart object (or maybe LAB), is ok to use when CMYK to CMYK conversion is really necessary for smart objects.

Reduce bit depth or convert color profile first? (best practices question)

For making final deliverable files from working files, is it best to convert to a new color profile before reducing bit depth? Or vise versa?
Our working files are 16 bit with the ProPhoto color space. Our deliverable files are 8 bit AdobeRGB tiffs and sRGB jpegs. We convert using relative colorimetric with black point compensation. Does it make a difference which order these changes are made in?
Thanks in advance for your help!

A profile conversion recalculates RGB values, so yes, it should be done in 16 bit depth.

Color profile changes after I login but I can't find the original profile

After I login but before everything loads, my color profile looks perfect. But then it looks like the color profile switches and everything gets a little too dark (not brightness, contrast). I go look at my color profiles and cycle through them, but nothing matches what I initially saw. I've unchecked the "Show only profiles for this display" and those don't match either. Is there a way to find out why/when/how that profile switches and what it's using before the switch?

If none of the previous suggestions work for you then try the following as a last resort:
System Preferences>Display>Display
Check the Colors & Brightness settings.
My Color setting is set to Millions which I believe is the default setting.
Now click on the Color button.

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?

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!
-Eric.

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?

try this idea: Do a leopard install to an external disk then do a Disk Utility "restore" function to that clean partition. So you restore from the external to the internal partition. Should leave Bootcamp untouched.

Change Default Color Profile in New Image Document ?

I've looked and looked, and even Googled. Anyone know how to change the default color profile when you start a New image file? In CS5 mine defaults to sRGB (Under the Advanced drop down) but my CS6 is ProPhoto RGB which means I have to change it manually nearly every time I paste an image copied via right click in a web browser.

I think it the same on windows. If I copy things to the clipboard with Photoshop that the document profile seem to be used there when I do a paste there are no color issues. However if I use Prtscn or Alt+PrtScn to capture screen content. I'll see that the colors are wrong when I paste the clipboard into a new document if my default color space is not sRGB. Then I need to assign sRGB to the document to correct the colors.
If I paste a screen capture into the current document the color can be very off and I will not get a prompt on the color mismatch. Therefore I don't think a screen capture has any profile associated with it. And of course the screen has a much lower resolution then the images I edit. So there is also a big size difference. Here is one scaled to 100% zoom after the paste. You can see both the color and resolution difference. This capture was assigned to sRGB so you will see what the screen looks like after the paste and zoom to 100%.

Lightroom 5.6 crashes when images with some color profiles are in import

I am a recent subscriber to Adobe CC. I run LR 5.6 64bit on my Win 7 PC. Whenever I seek to import images previously processed in iPhoto or LR elements into my catalog, ACC Lightrom crashes. I suspect it is because the original editing program used a different color profile. Adobe techs will not give me an answer when I ask for an overall cure. Are their any technical documents on the web that would enable me to deal with this issue? If so, I cannot find them, and I do not want to call Adobe again and again to get LR 5.6 restored.

There is no difference selected or not, the photos (Import are not possible) are always grey with the notice: These photos would be already imported! All other photos could be imported and gets grey.
When Lightroom greys out a photo in the Import dialog box, it means the photo is already in the catalog. It doesn't mean that it is matched with an older photo with the same name ... in order for there to be a match, the file name and capture date and file size must be identical.
So Lightroom thinks you have already imported the photos, and you think the photos have not been imported. Now I'm sure you are a very nice person, but I believe Lightroom. What you need to do is to find the photos in your Library Module and use them there. The photos can be found by searching for them by file name, after turning off all filters, and after clicking on All PHotographs in the Library Module.

Problem in Finding Color Profile of an image?

Hi All,
I am working on applet to read, resize and upload images. i am able to do all this using JAI but there is one more condition that needs to be full filled by my program i.e. to check the color profile of image before uploading (such as sRGB, Adobe RGB 1998).
I tried getType it give me the int number for diffrent color profile but it is not able to differentiate between sRGB and adobe RGB 1998 colour profile. How to get the colour profile embeded in the image.
Thanks
Rohit.

Yes, but its a profile (rendering and editing data calibration) for imaging not any particular java image(in crude terms at this point) [http://www.adobe.com/digitalimag/adobergb.html|http://www.adobe.com/digitalimag/adobergb.html]
If you want the maths for the image data profile [http://www.adobe.com/digitalimag/pdfs/AdobeRGB1998.pdf|http://www.adobe.com/digitalimag/pdfs/AdobeRGB1998.pdf]
presumably you were returning int getType() from a BufferedImage , the adobe profile image data is 24 bit true colour and heavily implied to be related to imaging data from "capture devices" which then implies from no mention in their documentation of "alpha component" , so in java any 24 bit non-indexed colour model RGB alike the windows bit map as the getType() "constant field value" int would be acceptable pending and other colour model excluded for render purpose of true colour(read BufferedImage API pages' "constant field values" for image type).

Weird color profile problem after SMC update

Although I've managed to resolve this particular problem, I wonder if anyone has suffered the same thing.
Software update says that I should do the firmware update, so I did that yesterday night. Also, at the same time, I went and removed MS Office 2004 Test Drive (it was taking up space for no good reason). Sometime after doing those things, it seems like OSX had lost the display color profile. The only ones I've got was the Adobe one, Generic RGB and sRGB. The generic RGB washes the screen with a blue tone, and clicking on Calibration would merely have the ColorSync utility complain about the profile isn't there.
Looking at the knowledge base, it says that after the 10.4.8 upgrade, the screen may look bluer than before. The curious thing was that my Macbook reported it running on 10.4.8 when I first got it. But anyways I downloaded 10.4.7's LCD profile, and put it at the location specified in that knowledge base. Display preference still didn't pick up on the profile, so I end up restarting the machine, and now it seems to be using a profile called "Color LCD".
I'm wondering if anyone else have experienced something like this, and going to document this here as a possible solution if someone is lost after a random deletion of a color profile....
Macbook 13" Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I had something similar happen when I upgraded to 10.4.8. In fixing the blue tint problem, I loaded a backup copy of the Color LCD profile. Subsequently, under exact circumstances I don't remember, the machine "lost" the profile. And the calibration option would just give an error.
So somehow, after further fiddling, I ended up with two copies of Color LCD profile, one the old 10.4.7 one, one the 10.4.8 one. I haven't had the problem of it losing the profile again.
But I might mention that there is a related problem which you may encounter. If I use fast user switching with another account and return to my (admin) account, the blue tint returns. The workaround is as described in this article:
http://www.macworld.com/weblogs/macosxhints/2006/02/fuscolor/index.php
I have created an alias to the DMProxy application as described in the above article, and have to run it after every time I use fast user switching.
