Batch Assign missing Profile - Adobe RGB

Is there a way to batch assign the missing profile?
Each time some images are opened we have to assign the missing profile manually - and save manually even tho' image has been worked on in Adobe RGB. Makes working with 100's of images very very slow! On MAC OS X Version 10.3.9. Look forward to some advice.

Open the Actions-palette, click on the notepad-symbol at the bottom next to the wastepaper-basket-symbol (thus creating a new Action), name it, and perform the tasks You want to record (in this case Assign Profile); as long as the Record-button is red any further recordable acts will be recorded, so hit the Stop-button (the one with the square) when Youre done.
To record this Action You will of course have to have one file open, but afterwards You can apply this to a number of files by going, in the File-menu, to Automate  Batch and select Your Action, a source-folder and a Target-folder etc.

  • Missing profile

    Hi,
    I'm new here, so please bear with me.
    I've been using Photoshop for about 6 years now (currently using version 7), and only in the past few days has this been happening:
    I try to open a screen shot and get a "Missing Profile" message wherein I am given three radio-button options before I can proceed.  The message says:
    "The indexed color document "xxxx.gif" has a file format that does not support embedded color profiles.  How do you want to proceed?"
    The options are:
    Leave as is (don't color manage)
    Assign working RGB: sRGB IEC61966-2.1
    Assign profile:  Adobe RGB (1998)
    Question 1: why did this just start happening?
    Question 2: which option should I select (I have been selecting the second)
    Thanks,
    Lon Richardson

    Blumtain,
    You dont have a profile mainatined in warehosue.
    Go to transaction LRFMD and maintain Warehouse, user , status (mark it as 'X') default screen size (Usually 16X20 or  8X40) & main menu .
    This menu will be called when you use LM01.
    Dont forget to log off and log in after maintaining above.
    This should get you in.

  • RAW Images using Adobe RGB

    This appears to not just be an issue with iPhoto but more of the RAW image support in OS X itself.
    All RAW images that are opened in preview have the color profile Adobe RGB attached to them - this goes for all RAW images that I export to JPEGs from iPhoto. While this isn't really a problem if I am to keep/view/print images from my MacBook alone - but the colors of my images get messed up when I export some images for my wife to view on her PC - or when I use the Facebook feature of iPhoto to upload images to my Facebook account. The conversion to sRGB makes them look all washed out.
    Is there some way to have OS X use a different color profile when processing RAW images... so I know that what it will look like after I make adjustments and export them? Like I say - this isn't an iPhoto issue - but a OS X RAW Image issue... so forgive me if this is not the correct forum.
    Cheers!

    Thanks TD,
    I think that applies to JPEGs that are brought into iPhoto as opposed to RAW images that OS X processes.
    I am sure Facebook does process the file somewhat... mostly resizing the image to meet its specs. But as for the color I am sure it is to do with the color profile used. As I a say, the images look the same (washed out) when opened on my wife's PC (or my two PCs for that matter).
    I tested this by exporting a RAW image to JPEG in iPhoto... open it in Preview - the color profile used is Adobe RGB (as this is what OS X RAW Processing is using). I apply (convert) to sRGB and the colors become washed out (just as when uploading to Facebook). So it's apparent that it's a Color Profile issue. I just wanted to know if the OS X RAW processing be set to use another Color Profile.... Adobe RGB looks good... but not so great if the file is to be viewed with or exported to sRGB.
    Cheers!

  • Photoshop in Adobe RGB 16 bit don't fill a layer with paint bucket and a color 35.40.35.100.

    I create a new file in RGB profile Adobe RGB 16bit
    take the paint bucket and fill the layer with a color created by selector with the following parameters 35.40.35.100 CMYK and RGB corresponds to 24.20.18 the result is a full level of color 76.73.63.9 but in RGB corresponds to 24.20.18 because the values in cmyk not match ??

    Could you please post screenshots (with the pertinent Panels visible) to illustrate the issue?
    Are you not aware that you cannot reliably define a CMYK color in RGB because the transformation is performed through the Profile Connection Space (Lab) and depends on the involved Color Spaces/ICC profiles (edited) and the Color Settings?

  • What happened to the "Adobe RGB" choice that I had in the print module in the Beta Version?

    My first experience with LIghtroom was through the Beta 3 version of the program. After much trial and error, I was finally able to produce acceptable prints by using the following  settings:
    Printer Manages colours
    Profile - Adobe RGB
    Rendering Intent - Perceptual
    My printer is an HP Photosmart Pro B 9180.
    I just bought the new Version 3 Lightroom. I have had a disastrous experience trying to print photos. I no longer have the choice of using Adobe RGB as the profile, and everything I have tried has resulted in ablolutely horrible prints. Does anyone have any suggestions for getting my prints to look like the image I have on the screen? ( the monitor is calibrated using the Spyder 3 Pro)
    Thanks for any advice you may have for me.
    Sue

    In the printer 'properties',
    press the 'colour' tab and that gives you the
    option 'application manages
    colours' which means the printer colour management is turned off and lightroom is now managing the colours. Terry

  • Adobe RGB changed to sRGB after export in Aperture 2.1.1 Why?

    I have tried taken pictures with color profile Adobe RGB, but all images exported via Aperture 2.1.1 shows up as sRGB in the EXIF. Does Aperture convert the color profile somewhere?

    When exporting, you get to choose your color profile. The export pre-set you chose uses sRGB. So, after choosing your export preset, click on the preset drop-down menu again and go all the way down to "Edit". This will allow you to change the profile to Adobe RGB from sRGB. That setting now will always be used for that pre-set. If needed, you can create other pre-sets by clicking the plus symbol in the bottom left corner of that edit dialog box.

  • Missing red color in adobe RGB

    I shoot raw with Nikon Camera. I am having a problem with getting red color in photoshop. . For nef files, I open them in Capture NX2 and then save as jpg in Photoshop.  The jpg image was opened in Photoshop CS5 with a color setting of sRGB, beatiful red color is seen on the screen. When the same.file was opened in in Photoshop CS5 with a color setting of AdobeRGB ("aRBG"). the red color turned into orange color.
    As shown here,  the only difference in color is red hue between sRBG and aRGB.  This is not an isolated case.  All of my pictures look like that.  When printed on Canon i9900 inkjet printer under "Photosbhop Manages Colors setting, red color comes out in orange color.  But printing under Printer Manges Colors" setting, they came to be close to red color.   I do not understand why aRBG does not produce red color.  Could someone explain to me why?
    PS: I could not upload two pictures (sRBG and aRBG).  It seems that inserting image was disabled.

    These statements are vague or functionally incomplete.  For example, are you saving your JPEGs with a color profile embedded?  When you choose "Photoshop Manages Colors", what profile is set for the printer?
    Do you have a basic understanding of color-management?
    The kinds of color shifts you're describing can occur if you are assigning a profile different than the one the RGB values are encoded in, or viewing an image encoded in Adobe RGB with a non-color-managed application.
    The document color profile needs to match the profile used to encode the RGB values, and the application needs to interpret the color profiles of both the document and the output device for the color to be displayed or printed properly.
    May I recommend going out and seeking some primers on basic color management online.  Keep in mind a lot of what's published is sometimes misleading or downright inaccurate, because a lot of people have trouble understanding color management at first.  Try to avoid advice that says "set it like this", but seek the information that describes how color management actually works, so that you can get your mind around it and make your own informed decisions how to set things up.

  • Colours wrong when RAW file with Adobe RGB profile printed from iPhoto '08

    I've taken some photos on my Nikon D300 with the colourspace set to Adobe RGB. These import and display fine in iPhoto '08 but when printed it looks like the printer (Epson R2400 with the Epson 6.12 driver) is using the sRGB colourspace. The only option I can find relating to colour, is the Color matching dialogue which gives the option of Colorsync or Epson Color Controls. I've tried both with the same results. Preview shows the profile of the .nef file to be Adobe RGB (1998).
    Has anyone any ideas of what I need to change?

    AndyMn:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Most inkjet printers are geared for the sRGB profile. The Adobe profile is used by professional printers. Apple's services also recommend the sRGB profile. You need to reassign the sRGB or sRGBIEC1966-2.1 profile. I'm not sure about the raw file but you can use the ColorSync Utility to assign that profile to the file.
    I have an Applescript that will apply the profile to files or folder of files dropped on it. I'm not sure if it will work on RAW files but it does on jpgs and tiffs. You can download it from  Toad's Cellar. It takes about 6 seconds per file but does not apply any additional jpeg compression to jpg files.
    Assigning the profile is considered better than the Applescript way but can only be done one at a time. You can test each method and see what gives you the best results.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 or later), 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 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger 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.≤br>
    Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • Color profile (sRGB Vs. Adobe RGB)

    Hello,
    As I am struggling with choosing the 'right' color profile for my photo's (either sRGB or Adobe RGB) I was wondering what your opinion of this subject is. I have searched the internet for the information about this subject, but the forums/answers/information couldn't give me enough satisfaction.
    For editing photo's I am using Adobe Photoshop, for my library I use iPhoto. Some photo's are uploaded to sites as www.facebook.com. Sometimes I order a photo book via iPhoto.
    Because there are pros and cons for both sRGB and Adobe RGB I am not sure which profile I have to choose. I would like to choose one format, since this will standardize my library.
    Looking forward to your opinion.
    Best Regards,
    Jelle

    Larry & Terence,
    Did you do any on-screen testing or proofing? All modern browsers support ICC profiles and should show improvement with Adobe RGB in certain color ranges (NOT just Facebook).
    Apple products aren't "designed" for sRGB. sRGB is a standard developed by Hewlett Packard and Microsoft (and I think we all can agree those aren't Apples best friends). sRGB is the default for most Cameras and SmartPhones, that doesn't mean it's the best.
    Most monitors sold in the last 5 years have wider gamut support than the sRGB.
    Article "Can the entire sRGB color gamut be displayed on today's LCD monitors?"
    http://ninedegreesbelow.com/photography/srgb-bad-working-space-profile.html
    "sRGB was created to match the display characteristics of consumer-grade CRT monitors manufactured in the1990s." "LCDs use a completely different technology to make colors..." "All wide gamut monitors by definition can show more greens, yellows, and cyans than sRGB."
    Apple even suggests "Adobe RGB offers a wider gamut than sRGB, and is usually a better choice, if available." in this article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2026
    iPhoto 6 and newer have support for ColorSync profiles, older versions may not work with Adobe RGB and could cause the color to look worse. If a profile isn't present, or isn't supported iPhoto assigns Camera RGB. Complaints about "dark" color from iPhoto are more than 5 years old.

  • Image Processor applying Adobe RGB profile

    Image Processor thru CS4 64bit is changing my CMYK files to Adobe RGB when saving as jpg.
    I have 'Include ICC Profile' checked.
    It is not running any other action.
    Could someone enlighten me as to why this is happening please?
    And if there is some code I can change to force it to retain my chosen profile?
    Hope someone can help
    Thanks

    I had a look at the version that ships with CS4. There is a function named 'this.saveFile'. That function has an if statement 'if ( this.params["jpeg"] )' and finially in the if statement there is another if block... ( line 1551 )
                if ( DocumentMode.RGB != app.activeDocument.mode ) {
                    ConditionalModeChangeToRGB();
    If you change that to...
                if ( DocumentMode.RGB != app.activeDocument.mode || DocumentMode.CMYK != app.activeDocument.mode  ) {
                    ConditionalModeChangeToRGB();
    The scirpt should now save your jpgs as cmyk if the doc is cmyk or rgb for other modes

  • DNG converter converts RAW  Adobe RGB color profile to ProPhoto ??

    I have a Canon 5D2.  there is an internal switch to shoot RAW files using the Adobe RGB  profile.  when I open a RAW image in CS4, there is no problem.  yet when I open the DNG converted image in CS4, CS4 tells me the image has the ProPhoto color profile.  I can convert back to Adobe RGB, but it adds an extra step and (I think probably) loses information.  I looked for a switch in the DNG converter to speciy the color profile of the converted image, but could not find it.  Any suggestions ?

    Hi, Tom.
    The real issue here is getting accurate color. You can't get accurate color by setting your monitor profile to sRGB. sRGB is a virtual color space that doesn't describe the exact color gamut of any physical device. But, in order to display sRGB or any color space accurately, you need to get a characterization of your monitor.
    Here is an AWESOME way to get access to a colorimeter: http://www.lensrentals.com/rent/pantone-huey-colorimeter Looks like for $32 you can rent this for a week. Go in on this with a friend and profile both of your monitors and hardly pay a thing. If you have a reasonably good quality LCD monitor, this custom profile you make will be fairly accurate for many months. At the very least, this is way more accurate than having no regular calibration at all.
    Hope this helps!

  • Open with External Editor Profile sRGB instead of Adobe RGB

    Hi,
    I know in the export presets I can adjust what profile aperture will use. But what about when I open with External Editor. I like doing this because I can open my image in PhotoShop make my adjustments then save it and have aperture manage my files. But when I do this it opens the file with Adobe RGB, my lab and I sometimes want Adobe RGB. How can I change this without exporting the file and reimporting the file. Thanks.

    Aperture uses a color space larger than AdobeRGB and sRGB. When an image is sent to Photoshop is converted to a 16bit AdobeRGB PSD file in order to get the largest color space to work with.
    sRGB would be necessary when exporting to the web and/or send it to a printer that requieres that color profile, and that's why you have it in the export presets.

  • Embed Adobe RGB Profile?

    Hi. I've been working with iMovie 6.0 and have been importing stills and applying the Ken Burn's effect. I noticed that when I import a jpeg with no embedded Adobe RGB 1998 profile, the images are lighter and more washed out. But if I embed the Adobe 1998 RGB profile, the images look much richer and colorful. Has anyone else noticed this? Is it necessary to re-save every JPEG from my camera with the Adobe RGB 1998 profile to get good color in iMovie? My camera can't set photos to the Adobe RGB 1998 profile automatically. It only allows for sRGB.
    Thanks for the help.

    I tried out a few different settings, and it seems like the most vibrant color occurs with the Adobe RGB 1998 profile. The second best is embedding sRGB and my least favorite is when I use the image straight from the camera. I'm confused about this because shouldn't the image straight from the camera be the same as if I saved it in photoshop with an sRGB profile embedded? My camera shoots in sRGB, so why would it look different if I used photoshop and clicked the embed sRGB profile? Is the sRGB profile photoshop uses different from the sRGB my camera uses?

  • Nikon D70--Why is Aperture assigning Adobe RGB to my RAW files.

    As far as I know, RAW files shouldn't have a profile until you give them one, but there it is in the EXIF Profile Name.
    Interestingly, I thought it might be picking it up from the fact that I have the camera set to Adobe RGB for when I shoot jpegs, BUT, even when I set the camera to sRGB, the RAW files import as Adobe RGB, so it's got to be something Aperture is doing.
    Since the Camera's native space would have to be truncated or compressed to to fit into Adobe RGB, and the space now has to be converted to be changed into any other space (eg. ProPhoto), I'm very concerned that Aperture is immediately eating some of the data from my camera.

    Yes, there seems to be no way at the moment to choose which colour space to use when using 'Open in External Editor', and it's very irritating. But there's no need to save files outside Aperture and reimport - just convert to sRGB and save. If you are working with RAW files it makes little difference as Adobe98 is mostly larger than sRGB anyway. If you want to stick to a purely sRGB workflow in Photoshop then change the colour settings in PS to 'Convert to Working Space' for RGB files - no more profile mismatch messages - but I agree that it would be good to have the option to choose an output space for external editing.
    A much bigger concern is that the EXIF data that you see in Aperture for an externally opened version is copied from the original, and you will see sRGB (for an sRGB original) listed in the expanded EXIF view, even though the file is actually in Adobe98 or whatever you converted to in Photoshop. Note that this is just the information you view in Aperture, NOT the actual profile in the image file. This seems to be linked to Janet's observation - RAW files (which automatically don't have ICC profiles) are automatically listed as having Adobe98 profile.
    Other stuff:
    An sRGB workflow takes up exactly the same amount of space as an Adobe98 workflow and can use the same file formats. JPEG v. RAW is a different question with different issues.
    RA-4 is not based on sRGB - RA-4 was invented for the analogue film market - most RA-4 papers have an even smaller gamut than sRGB. It's just that the 'consumer' printing market pretty much standardised on sRGB as the default working space, regardless of the gamut of any particular printer/process.

  • Missing profile in Photoshop Elements

    Dear all,
    Recently, when I open a file (jpeg or psd) with my Photoshop Elements, it always pops up a "Missing Profile" warning box, saying "This file does not have a color profile associated with it, what would you like to do? Leave it as it is (Don't color manager), Assign adobe RGB or Assign sRGB"
    How can I fix this problem?
    Any help is much appreciated.
    Many thanks~

    The answer is to assign the profile that the file should have been saved with. 
    JPGs and PSDs should have been saved with a color profile and some of what you’ve been working with have not been saved properly, so PSE is asking you when you open them what to use.
    If these are your own images taken with a camera then you should know what the profile was set in the camera as well as if you’ve converted from one profile to another in PSE.
    If these are images from somewhere else, then maybe the source can tell you what profile they were saved with.  If you have no way of asking or knowing then try each of AdobeRGB and sRGB and see which one looks better.
    An image that should be AdobeRGB but is wrongly assigned sRGB will look faded and greenish.  An image that should be sRGB but wrongly assigned AdobeRGB will look oversaturated a little.  The differences may be subtle but one version should look better to you.
    If these are your images, then always save them with a color profile so you won’t lose track of it and have to guess in the future.  If these are someone else’s images, then talk to the other person and see if you can get them to assign the proper color profile to them.
