Bridge Filter Tab - Color Profile

I have an iMac (Mountain Lion OS X
10.8.4) Nikon NX2, Nikon
D800E camera, and Photoshop CS6.
Most of the 100 or so photos I
have transferred to my Mac by (USB and
also card) are RAW NEF at approx. 40MB a file. (Lossless compression) Most all of these pictures are in Color Space Adobe RGB, because that is
what I set up on the camera.
When in Bridge > Filter Tab > Color Profile > [this says that the majority of the NEF
photos , in the camera’s Color Profile Space of Adobe RGB, are not in this
color space, but the color profile of “UNTAGGED!” I’ve studied all the preferences and options of
Bridge and I am not 100% that I know what to change so these photos will show
in the color space I want them to and I don’t want to make a mistake by
clicking something that I can’t undo so…
How do I
get these photos (which I guess are showing up in Bridge as sRGB color space)
to show up in Adobe RGB. And if I can
change this, what could be the good or bad consequences of changing to Adobe
RBG?
There is
also a Thumbnail Option – “Generate 100%
previews. Will checking this show the previews at 100%? And what consequences does using this have?
Thank You Very Much For Your Help,
Thank You,
Sandy

I looked at my canon raw files and they also say untagged. So Apparently the color profile does not get saved in the side car file. Which maybe a good thing. The raw file is suppose to be your negative, in that it doesn't need any color profile until you do something with it in another file format that does support color profiles.
The generate previews will use up more drive space to speed up previewing them. But in general, I never really needed it. So it boils down to what type of system do you have, ex. plenty of drive space, speed of cpu, amount of ram, etc.

Bridge kills my color profile

I used ColorEyes to create a great profile for my Thinkpad - even have neutral grays.
Photos look terrific in PhotoShop or any other application except Bridge (v2.1.1.9). When Bridge opens or closes, it sets the profile back to the orginal laptop profile.
Is there any way to stop this? I can reload the new profile every time, but it's easier just to not use Bridge at all, and that seems a shame.
Thanks.

Bridge doesn't recognize color profiles

Dear Adobe community,
I'm using Adobe Bridge CS5.1 (4.1.0.54) and Illustrator CS5.1 (15.1.0), and I'm experiencing a very confusing and disturbing color management problem between these two applications. In short, for some unknown reason Bridge doesn't seem to respect or simply cannot read CMYK color profiles that I've applied to an artwork within Illustrator, but rather labels the file as "Untagged" and displays it with clearly desaturated colors. To illustrate the problem I've created some screenshots having Bridge on the left hand side and Illustrator on the right displaying the same illustration with various color profiles applied. That is, in each case I assigned different color profile to the image in Illustrator, saved the file and took the screenshot of Bridge and Illustrator both displaying the image. Now if you look closely then perhaps you notice that the only time I got a visual match between these applications was when I switched the file to a RGB mode within Illustrator. But even then Bridge did not recognized the correct color profile but interpreted it as "Untagged". Here are the screens:
Bridge "Untagged" vs. Illustrator "U.S. Web Coated":
Bridge "Untagged" vs. Illustrator "Coated FOGRA39":
Bridge "Untagged" vs. Illustrator "Don't Color Manage This Document":
Bridge "Untagged" vs. Illustrator "Adobe RGB":
Hope you could see the difference from these tiny images. Looking from my monitor, I can tell you for sure that they are definitely off, except the RGB versions of the illustration. This made me surmise that perhaps Bridge can only display Working RGB profiles correctly and not anything else.
Here's also my color settings, just in case…
So... Why is that??? Why are these applications showing me different results while my color settings are supposed to be "Synchronized"? Is there a way to fix this? I have tried to play around with the settings and looked for a solution in the web but to no avail. Could you please help me to find a soulution to this disturbing problem?
All the best,
Juhani

You may have used the broken global Purge Cache command in Bridge Preferences, or the cache is otherwise corrupted. Try Purging the Cache through the Tools menu in Bridge for each folder. Tools > Cache > Purge cache for 'foldername'.

Possibility to assign a color profile in the color management tab for more video formats

Presently, in After Effects CS5, in the color management tab of the "Interpret Footage" dialog box the possibility to assign a color profile to footage is grayed out for many video formats.
Formats that allow to assign a color profile include Quicktime/JPEG2000, Quicktime/Motion JPEG A, Quicktime/Motion JPEG B, Quicktime/MPEG-4, Quicktime/Animation as well as various image sequences, like tiff-sequences. (Motion JPEG A,B and Quicktime/MPEG-4 are not very helpful in this context because they have a small color shift when reimported to After Effects.)
Formats that do not allow to assign a color profile include Quicktime/PhotoJPEG, Quicktime/H264, H264 main concept, DVCPRO HD 1080p30, F4V. (Here, H264 main concept has anyway the disadvantage that it has a color shift when reimported into After Effects.)
In After Effects CS4 it was possible to assign a color profile to Quicktime/H264, Quicktime/PhotoJPEG, DVCPRO HD 1080p30, but in CS5 this is no longer possible.
Those video formats that do not allow to assign a color profile automatically are interpreted as having the color profile HDTV (Rec. 709) Y'CbCr in case that the videos have 1920x1080 format; similar applies to PAL formats which get SDTV (Rec. 709) Y'CbCr color profile.
(I did not find anything of this automatic assignment to HDTV or SDTV color profile in the "interpretation rules.txt" file, therefore it must be written into the programme itself.)
With growing popularity of wide gamut monitors it becomes necessary to produce footage and other videos that have a color profile different from HDTV or sRGB. When such footage is reimported to After Effects it has the wrong color and the only workarounds are either to use (in After Effects) the effect "Color profile converter" which necessitates extra render time or to use somewhat unpopular formats, like JPEG2000 that has very large filesize.
Presently many footage is produced in Quicktime/PhotoJPEG and therefore it would be very desirable to allow to assign a color profile to such footage in the color management tab of the "Interpret Footage" dialog box.
Does anyone know why in AE CS5 the video formats Quicktime/PhotoJPEG and Quicktime/H264 do not allow to have an arbitrary color profile assigned (although it was possible in CS4), is it a bug, or does it have a deeper reason.
In this context I have a related question, often I read that Quicktime videos have a gamma tag. Does this mean that part of the color profile (the gamma value) is actually embedded/remembered, like you have it for images where the gamma is part the embedded color profile.
I use AE CS5 on Mac Pro 2009 with OS 10.6.7.
Thanks,
Volker

Thank you Rick for this interesting explanations and the links to articles.
In the past few days I performed a few tests in After Effects and it is interesting that you mention that cameras, like the Sony EX3, allow videos to have embedded color profiles. I am not working myself with cameras but either get footage from the internet or sometimes videos from our video department which produces videos with professional SONY cameras, usually I get them in a matrox mxf format.
As far as my test with After Effects show it is not possible to embed color profiles in the videos rendered with After Effects. Independent of the color profile in the working space and independent from the color profile in the output module I always get the same reaction if I reimport videos rendered by After Effects back to After Effects:
In AE CS5 videos made in the formats Quicktime/PhotoJPEG, Quicktime/H264, H264 main concept, DVCPRO HD 1080p30, F4V are always interpreted as color profile SDTV/HDTV (Rec. 709) Y'CbCr (even if I made them in other color profiles, such as Adobe RGB, Photo RGB, sRGB); and there is no possibility to change this interpretation rule.
In contrast videos made in the formats Quicktime/JPEG2000, Quicktime/Motion JPEG A, Quicktime/Motion JPEG B, Quicktime/MPEG-4, Quicktime/Animation are always interpreted as sRGB (even if if I made them in other color profiles, such as Adobe RGB, Photo RGB, HDTV); only this time I can change the interpretation rule. Therefore if I know for example that if I had selected Photo RGB in the Output module I can change after the reimport the interpretation rule from sRGB to Photo RGB and only then I get again the original colors.
The only exceptions are picture sequences, such as tiff-sequences, where the original color profile is automatically selected in the interpretation of the footage.
Therefore, unfortunately for videos produced by After Effects your advice "If it says something like sRGB and you can change it, in most cases you shouldn't change it because the guess is probably right. If there is no color profile assigned then you should assume that is correct." is not so easy to be applied. You have to know how you did it originally in the Output module and hope that you can change it to the proper color profile, in case that the original color profile in the Output module was different from sRGB and HDTV/SDTV. But it is interesting to hear from you that with cameras there seem to be more possibilities.
For this reason it would be nice if in future versions of After Effects one could change the color profile in the the color management tab of the "Interpret Footage" dialog box also for formats such as Quicktime/PhotoJPEG, Quicktime/H264, H264 main concept, DVCPRO HD 1080p30, F4V.
Of course one can always circumvent shortcomings by using tiff-sequences, QT/jpeg2000, or QT/Animation as formats for storing, which is anyway better for lossless or nearly lossless storing, but the files are then too large and also cannot be played easily with a player.

Why is Bridge reporting color profiles incorrectly?

Why is Bridge seeing this image as an Adobe RGB when it is really Colormatch RGB?
I am using CS5 on Windows 7 64bit. I have purged the cache and did a full restart of the OS.
1.       The top dialog is Bridge and it is reporting the image as Adobe RGB (1998) in three places.
2.       Next, with Photoshop’s rgb color setting is set to Adobe RGB and I get an Embedded Profile Mismatch.
3.       I reset the color setting to Colormatch an opened the file without a mismatch. The status bar Document Profile confirms Colormatch
4.       In the convert to Profile dialog, the source profile is Colormatch. (Is this a reflection of the working space setting?)
5.       In file Info Raw Data Colormatch is reported.
6.       I then opened the image as a TXT file and found a tag for Colormatch. There is no reference in the TXT file or Raw Data to Adobe RGB (1998).
Why does Bridge report this image as Adobe RGB (1998) when the file seems to have no reference to Adobe RGB?

I am assuming that some remnant of a former state of these files is causing Bridge to report the color profile incorrectly.
I made a workaround to fix these files by creating a Droplet (With 'Save on Close' and 'Override Action "Save As" Commands.) to run an action with the following steps:
Convert color to Lab.
Convert color back to RGB. (Working space:Colormatch RGB)
Assign Profile to Colormatch RGB.
Save As. (With ICC Profile: Colormatch RGB checked.)
Close.
With Profile Mismatch Warning set to' Ask When Opening', the droplet stops on any images that are not Colormatch and resumes after making a selection.
This is correcting the files and they are now reading correctly in Bridge.

Smart collection has "source color profile" as filter option, does not work on camera profiles

In Lightroom 5 i tried to use the "source color profile" filter option in smart collection, however it only seems to work on rgb files (jpg, tiff) that have a profile embedded. It does not work on values like "Adobe Standard" which is a "source" profile of a RAW file, or any of the camera profiles i can choose fo given Raw file. What am i doing wrong?
The Help does not give any clue on this, nor does the coverage by any of the Lightroom guru's like Juleanne Kost.

In my opinion the filter is acting correctly.
The Adobe Standard profile is not a profile defined in the source file, it is a profile assigned to the file in the raw converter and used with raw files that do not have a source color profile, already, so to me the filter is acting correctly because “source” means where the profile comes from, rather than what profile a master photo has had assigned to it.
The source-color-profile option is useful to determine the size of the color gamut in a file’s color numbers which indicates its suitability for various purposes: An sRGB file can be safely uploaded to the web, an AdobeRGB file is going to look right on a wide-gamut monitor and printablebut shouldn’t be uploaded to the web, while a ProPhotoRGB file has a large color space and can be safely edited in a way that adjusts the colors significantly, especially if it is 16-bit, without color-banding or posterization, but a ProPhotoRGB file will probably not look good if directly uploaded to the web or sent to a print-shop that doesn’t do their own color profile conversions.
I would agree that being able to filter raw files based on the assigned color profile would also be useful, but this is a different thing, to me at least, than filtering by the source-color-profile.

My color profiles does´nt show in bridge

Before going totally insane i ask here....
im useing CS4 premium
Images: .psd, gif, jpg ect shows tagged colorprofiles in bridge
But InDesign Documents and illustrator documents shows colorprofiles as :untagged
WHY?! I have assigned a profile etc etc and no matter what it says: Untagged
im going ballistic. Cant you tag a colorprofile to a indesign/illustrator document ore what is going on?!
Even my PDF´s are :Untagged
I use color management in Bridge with same settings for all programs: Preserve color profils...etc
My god- someone please help coz im going absolutely desperate
tnx guys

I do not know anything about InDesign or Illustrator., and have not had to get into color profiles. Having said that I believe Bridge writes that info to XMP file, unless you have it in database (which some experts say in lunacy).
I do know that Illustrator uses a data base for keywords and perhaps the other stuff as well. If you want Bridge to read it you have to check some option that says something like - export data to metadata.
Hope that helps.

Bridge ratings lost when switching to filter tab

I lose my ratings when I switch to the filter pane of bridge, This has happened after running all of the most current updates including reinstalling software. Editing twice on several thousand images is no fun. The ratings, stars, show up in the file but when switching to the sort by filter tab they vanish about every other edit. ???? Thanks

I apologize. I forgot to add the application details. I am using sqldeveloper version 1.5.0.52 build MAIN-52.03 using JDK 1.6.0_05 on a WinXP SP2 laptop.

How to chnge cmyk and also apply color profiles in bridge

Hi
i want to apply color profile for selceted files in brige

Does any one know how you can adjust the font size (point size) for the file
names.
Sadly enough you can't chance that, feel free to add a feature request for
that, the more there ask for the bigger chance it will be realized.
It would be great if the colors for the image name (background and font color)
could be changed so the contrast could also be increased so it is also easier
to read.
And this the cheerful part, go to Bridge preferences General tap and play
with the sliders for user interface and Image Backdrop until your satisfied.
BTW using the slider for thumbnail size bottom right of the Bridge window to
increase the thumbs does not increase the font but makes it nevertheless a
little clearer.

Adobe Illustrator Export to JPEG (*.JPG) vs ICC Color Profiles vs Behance

Hi,
I work with Adobe Illustrator CC 2014. When I export my projects into *.JPG format (using both: 'Adobe Illustrator > File > Export' and 'Adobe Illustrator > File > Save for Web') I use ‘Embed ICC’ profile option. Every common image viewer I use (including web browsers and Adobe Bridge) respects those color settings and displays exactly what has been embedded. But when posting on Behance, my color settings are converted into something else! The only solution is to place my Adobe Illustrator file into a new Adobe Photoshop document , then export it into .JPG (with embedded color settings) and then post it to Behance. With this workaround my colors look pretty correct.
Did someone experience the same and could explain why Behance doesn’t respect the Adobe Illustrator export with embedded ICC profile settings?
one thing more – even if my *.JPG produced with Adobe Photoshop (the correct one) is displayed correctly, the cover photo (taken from the original) is still converted into different (Behance’s default??) color space. I believe this shouldn’t work this way. Is there any workaround to this? Is there any way my covers (miniatures) display the 'true' colors?
Please advise
Best Regards,
Pawel Kuc

ok. I give up. It seems that Adobe Illustrator can export only to the JPEG File Interchange Format (JFIF) and Behence doesn’t fully support this format (for example it cannot read its icc color data correctly):
(JPEG) Formally, the EXIF and JFIF standards are incompatible. This is because both specify that their particular application segment (APP0 for JFIF, APP1 for Exif) must be the first in the image file. In practice, many programs and digital cameras produce files with both application segments included. This will not affect the image decoding for most decoders, but poorly designed JFIF or Exif parsers may not recognize the file properly (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JPEG_File_Interchange_Format#Exif_comparison)
I’ve analyzed my files using JPEGsnoop 1.6.1 (really cool app by Calvin Hass, http://www.impulseadventure.com/photo/) and here is what I’ve found:

[DateTime ] = "2014:08:02 17:21:15"
[ExifOffset ] = @ 0x00A8
Offset to Next IFD = 0x000000D4
EXIF IFD1 @ Absolute 0x000000E0

Dir Length = 0x0003
[ColorSpace ] = sRGB
[ExifImageWidth ] = 200
[ExifImageHeight ] = 200
So unfortunately the only option to produce the EXIF JPEG from an Adobe Illustrator project is to: Export *.ai file to JPEG (under Adobe Illustrator) > go to Photoshop > Create new project > Paste the *.jpg > and Sava As JPEG with icc embedded.

Picture color profile in Lightroom vs Photoshop CS2 editing

Hi all, I hope someone can solve this for me.
When I'm viewing picture in Light room, all my pictures are a bit warmer ( have a yellowish tint to them ) compared to when I view them in Photoshop CS2. The same is true if I view them in other programs. This is true for all my picture file type (jpg, tif or raw). I get the feeling that it's Light room that in the wrong in how it displays the picture and not the other programs. Using the warms tool to make the picture a bit colder, only adds a bluish tint to the image which isn't even close to what it looks like (unedited) in Photoshop.
I get the feeling that Lightroom does something to the picture, or uses some sort of color profile, driver that other programs don't use.
Is there a way of changing this?

>When I purchase these ADOBE products I expect them to JUST WORK!!!!!
Unfortunately, when Microsoft, Dell and others enter the fray it's no longer up to just the Adobe folks. Differences between Photoshop and Lightroom are almost always due to a corrupt monitor profile. Adobe has nothing to do with that.
>I dont wanna have to be worried about corrupt profiles yada yada yada!!!
I just want to be able to do my color correction and exposure corrections in Lightroom export as a High Res Jpeg and then do the remainder of my work in Photoshop and have them both look the same.
If your screen is correctly calibrated that will be the case. Unfortunately if you want to do color sensitive work on a computer with a typical monitor, you have to have a rudimentary understanding of profiles and color management. There is unfortunately no way around it. This is no different from traditional color photography where you have to understand what different film, different filters and different development do to your colors. The terminology is just different.
>How do I fix this and please go through it STEP BY STEP BY STEP!!!!
I am not one for the computer lingo....
OK. I'll assume first that you have no hardware calibrator and that you are on windows:
1. Make sure your Photoshop color settings are set up to respect embedded profiles. See the
first screenshot in this post(ignore everything else as it is no longer relevant in LR 2).
2. Open your monitor's properties panel, click on advanced and go to the color management tab. Delete any profile you see there. This is the culprit. Probably a bad profile got installed in some driver update for your graphics card or your monitor.
3. Restart Lightroom and Photoshop and that's it! You'll have corresponding colors. You are however, cheating yourself as your monitor is completely uncalibrated. This is how 99% of computer users run their monitors.
So here is what you should be doing if you care about your color and matching to print and making sure that others see the same colors. Even though hardly anybody calibrates, the only way to get a good average correspondence is to calibrate your monitor and use color managed apps. This sequence is valid for both macs and PCs
1. Do as above step one and make sure Photoshop is set up correctly and then go out and buy a hardware calibrator (or order online). They can be had for <$100 for pretty good ones. Look for example for Spyder2 and Huey Pro.
2. Calibrate your screen following the instructions from the software
3. Restart Lightroom and Photoshop. Now you'll have identical but correct color.
If you have a mac, you can cheat slightly and use http://www.computer-darkroom.com/colorsync-display/colorsync_1.htm instead of hardware calibration. You cannot expect very good correspondence between monitor and prints though with that method.

Color profiles do not stay synchronized across all applications in CS6

I've recently uopgraded my system to Maverick. Using Adobe CS6 Suite. It seems as of late when selecting a color profile for the creative suite, the application does not keep the color setting. They say synchronized but when reopening to check again, it says unsynchronized.
Also, When making a PDF from InDesign, Illustrator or Photoshop, the colors look dead and darker in the PDF. Again, the Acrobat color prefs say "unsynchronized". If I go to Bridge and re-apply the profile, all is fine, but on reopening the color prefs in Acrobat they are back to "unsynchronized". This also happens in InDesign and Illustrator.
All this an more. I work with a client who is the inhouse graphics manager. We run the same software and the same profiles, yet the same color files look different on his computer than on mine.
Can someone shed some light on this issue. Been doing this many years and have not had this problem.

Not all that familiar with Color sync but bridge should be acting as the central and when you have selected the correct color profile in Bridge CS6 under the menu edit / color settings all CS6 applications should have this profile / setting show.
In your case I would start to reset preferences for Bridge with holding down option key while starting Bridge and from the menu choose reset preferences.
Maybe even do this with al other CS applications if only bridge does not help.
And this is no help to you but I'm still not on Mavericks but if I make the switch I don't use the option for upgrade but make a day free to install everything from scratch. For normal use with a few apps it might not be important to do so but with a lot of apps and daily use in a professional workflow I always go for security versus speed

Bad ramifications of color profile used in previews

It seems that Aperture's choice of color profile for its previews has some rather wide implications. In a RAW workflow, previews are assigned an Adobe RGB profile. In a JPG workflow, previews aren't generated at all at first (which makes sense - no need to create a JPG from a JPG), but they are created once you edit a photo. Then once again, the preview is assigned an Adobe RGB profile, irrespective of the color profile of the original photo. This all kind of makes sense. Presumably, Adobe RGB is the same as, or close to, the color profile Aperure uses internally.
The problem comes when photos are "shared". With the Aperture preference set to "Share previews with iLife and iWork", Aperture generates an XML file that can be used by external programs. This XML file points the external program at the previews (or the original in the case of an unedited JPG). Then photos can be picked up in various places:
* In mail.app via the Photo Browser.
* In any app via the Media section in Finder.
* On an Apple TV via the "Choose photos to share" option in iTunes.
BUT - all these photos (with the exception of an unedited JPG) will ALWAYS have an Adobe RGB profile. This is generally not good, since the photos will display badly in any app that isn't color managed. Unfortunately, this seems to apply to Apple TV. Photos there have the typically subdued look of Adobe RGB when not color managed. The situation actually gets worse with JPGs. An unedited JPG which originally had an sRGB profile will display fine, but as soon as you edit that photo in Aperture, it willl display badly because now iTunes/Apple TV is working with an Adobe RGB profile. I've done tests and it's painfully obvious.
Anyone else come across this? I'm not sure what can be done. Maybe having an option to generate proviews using sRGB would be good, but that might involve too much processing in Aperture when it's continually generating previews as you edit.
Thoughts appreciated!

The export settings don't have any effect on the problem, unfortunately. What preference are you referring to? Do you mean the Import "tab" in Aperture prefs? That just governs what Aperture uses for its initial preview. it will now, by default, use the preview that is embedded in every RAW file to speed up processing. As soon as you look at the photo, even without editing it, it will then generate its own JPG preview (with Adobe RGB profile).
I haven't received any other feedback about this problem anywhere, which is surprising to me. I think I can only post the problem through Apple feedback, and hope for the best. It seems that, in the meantime, the only course of action is to export everything you need to display properly on an AppleTV, and re-import those JPGs into Aperture (or iPhoto) so they can be displayed via iTunes. A royal pain!

Acrobat 9 Pro color profiles?

here is my situation:
I create multipage mockups in Illustrator (all of my Adobe software is Creative Suite 5 Design Premium running on Win7 32bit [I wish it was 64, but printers don't like it so.. yeah]) and after creating them , i then save them to a modifed PDF Preset PDF file.
My problem is this: All of my color profiles are synched via Bridge for uniformity. I know this doesn't apply to Acrobat (though it should, and if it does it doesn't say it anywhere that i've found). The original Illy Document has a profile embedded and the colors look and print out just like i need them to. the pdf version however seems to not like that idea and appears to have different profiles for each page. I have made sure that the color profiles are included and no color conversions happen.
Why am i getting this?
I can provide a sample set of files so you can hopefully see what i see if you need them.
I do not know that much about any advanced features of Acrobat, so it may be setting that I'm not aware of or something like that. Color is also not a very high priority (though i really wish it was) in my workflow and thus my understanding of it is also fairly limited. Color theory in college doesn't count i don't think

This may have nothing to do with your problem, but -- at least with Acrobat 8, there is a 100MB limit to the scanned image. Are you trying to scan something larger than that?

Why can't I include a color profile when exporting to PDF?

I've a basic RGB illustrator file - no embedded or linked images, just flat colors and gradients.
I'm working in sRGB space and this is reported correctly in the info field at the lower left of the editing window.
Some issues:
1. When I look at this file in Bridge it's listed as 'untagged'. However if I re-open it in illustrator it's reported to be sRGB as expected.
What's broken here?
...and of more immediate concern:
2. Despite requesting 'Include All Profiles' on the output page of the PDF save dialog I cannot get a PDF exported that includes the sRGB profile.
Same issues in both CS6 and CC - Windows 7, 64.
Thoughts, comments or suggestions welcomed....
Thanks

Your .pdf is fine, if you open the .pdf in illustrator, adn hten do edit >> assign profile, this radio biutton will bo on what the profile. Also in the bottom left of illustrator you can see what color profile your document is saved with, btuy turning that on.
Hold down option adn you will get other fun easter egg options
Bridge only seems to show profiles for certain bitmapped formats, except .psb format.
