Color sync profile erros

I've got errors in 6 profiles, and the colors on my screen are weird (very over saturated).  How in the world do I fix these?  Clicking repair does nothing.
This happened after I installed a new hard drive that was a clone of the old hard drive.  I'm guessing what's missing didn't transfer in the cloning.

The first of those profiles is a built-in system file, but is not in one of the folders that ColorSync Utility normally searches for profiles, so I'm not sure why you're seeing it there. The others are all Adobe files that you installed. If you haven't already done so, I suggest you calibrate your display (System Preferences > Displays >  Color > Calibrate.)

  • I messed my color sync profile up. How can I reset my color sync profile to factory settings?

    I messed my color sync profile up. How can I reset my color sync profile to factory settings?
    Core 2 Duo, OS Lion (not mountain)

    Hi, yes, I messed it up by trying to edit it.
    I just clicked configure and changed the options. Is there a factory setting I can reset it to?
    The problem when I try to get it back to normal is that it never looks just like it did. It looks mainly fine, but things like light blues look wrong.

  • What Does This Color Sync Profile First  Aid Log Mean??

    I have been helping a friend trouble shoot some printing problems he is having with iPhoto. In the process, he ran verify in Profile First Aid in Color Sync. He got some errors and asked me to run mine. Here is my result:

    I am having no problems with color output when printing (that I know of). He has been having color balance and other problems printing from iPhoto. My errors are the exact same as his in this Profile First Aid Log. What is the significance of these errors? Should they be repaired?
    Thanks,
    Steve M.

    Hi Steve,
    The problem is something else.
    This report is showing you there are 5 profile out of 929 that your OS doesn't agree with for whatever reason.
    Your friends issue is different than yours (yours works fine & his doesn't), this report has the same info in it because it's looking at the same profiles installed in the OS.
    How the profiles are applied depends on the output device, paper, inks, yadda-yadda-ya.
    Do not try to repair the ICC's, as they're most likely just fine. You should be able to find suitable results in one of the other 924 profiles, even if that was the issue.
    Look for something different between your setups.
    We're happy to help, but we need to know more about how the user is trying to print when the errors occur.
    Applications, driver versions, printer, color space, etc.

  • Canon color sync profiles location. Where to put them?

    Hi as part my canon printer installation, i downloaded some canon icc profiles. The canon site downloaded them to my desktop, not the right location clearly but what is the right location ?.
    Thanks

    Try /Library/ColorSync/Profiles or ~/Library/ColorSync/Profiles.

  • Editing color sync profile names?

    Just not sure where to post this but my main concern is with Aperture use.
    My problem is that many of the icc profiles that have been added to the various support folders have nearly useless names. Also the list as it appears in "View/Proofing Profile >) is essentially not organized in any meaningful way. I'd like to be able to edit the names as they appear in the menu and organize the list (using folder if possible).
    I know where the icc profiles are supposed to be located. And I know that I can use ColorSync Utility to view and edit them a bit. In fact it appears that I can change the name but when I log out/in or restart nothing happens. Also some profiles in the list are not located in any of the normal folders. I think these maybe in the printer support folders.
    Any ideas? This area is a major mess. Am I missing something obvious?
    Sure wish printing services would name these with some thought.

    You might want to try calibrating the PB's display.

  • Edit Color Sync for Exports for Web Sites

    Hi,
    Perhaps this has been covered, but I've not found the thread. Most of the export color sync questions seem to revolve around printing or displaying on one's own monitor. Neither is an issue for me. However, I note that my RAW images exported from Aperture 2.0 as jpg's and then uploaded to web sites such as Jalbum and Orkut are washed out. Some forums have suggested this is due to those websites being optimized for sRGB. I understand that Aperture uses a proprietary color sync profile; however, my default EXIF - Expanded shows "Color Model" as simply "RGB", and "Profile Name" is Adobe RGB (1998) (my Canon 50D is set to sRGB). Again, I have seen suggestions on this forum that one can change these settings, but the process appears to be only for printers and monitors. Where/how can I change the export for uploading jpg's to the web.
    Thanks,
    Nick

    I understand that Aperture uses a proprietary color sync profile
    If the profile were proprietary, it would be an illegal profile under the ICC Specification.
    However, I note that my RAW images exported from Aperture 2.0 as jpg's and then uploaded to web sites such as Jalbum and Orkut are washed out.
    If you did not disable embedding of an ICC source colour space in Aperture, if you did not use a non-ICC enabled browser, the OS X system level services will set up a ColorWorld and convert the pixels in your JPEGs matching from the ICC source colour space to the ICC destination colour space of your display. Thus you will get what you uploaded in the first place.
    I have seen suggestions on this forum that one can change these settings, but the process appears to be only for printers and monitors.
    The idea is that each and every colour device is calibrated and that calibration is captured in a colourimetric colour characterisation from which an ICC colour device profile is computed. Colourants that form certain colours one one colour device at one calibration will form other colours in the same colour device at another calibration and in other colour devices at yet other calibrations. By means of device profiles, the COLOURS can be kept constant while the COLOURANTS are recomputed to compel the device to paint the closest possible match it is capable of.
    Some forums have suggested this is due to those websites being optimized for sRGB.
    The issue is whether people who post pictures do or do not embed ICC source colour spaces into their pictures and whether they pick browsers that are ICC-enabled or pick colour blind browsers.
    To determine if there is an embedded ICC source colour space in a picture, download the picture to disk, open iApple Preview and select Tools > Get Info > Summary.
    Colour Model: This defines the format or model of the colourants, e.g. three component RGB, four component CMYK.
    ColorSync Profile: This defines the ICC source colour space. If there is none in the image file, the system level service assigns the Generic RGB Profile for model RGB, the Generic CMYK Profile for model CMYK and so forth. Therefore, any ICC source colour space than a Generic Profile source colour space is embedded in the image file itself.
    In technical terms, the rule is that to construct a ColourWorld that does a colour space conversion through the PCS Profile Connection Space, you have to have an ICC source colour space and an ICC destination colour space (typically your display profile). It follows that the system level service ASSIGNS an ICC source colour space automatically where is none embedded. The ICC source colour space that is assigned when there is none embedded is the Generic RGB Profile for colourant model RGB, as explained.

  • Color changes (darkens) in screen capture - color sync gamma setting?

    I encountered this weird effect that the color darkens when I did a screen capture in one Mac but not the other.
    In fact, it darkens more with shift-ctrl-cmd-4 (selection capture) than with shift-ctrl-cmd-3 (whole screen capture).
    The knowledge base mentioned the gamma setting in http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3712 but the color darkens in the clipboard, so there is no way to change the color sync if it is not a file. I tried to re-calibrate my display using different gamma setting, but it didn't change any color.
    In my other Mac, I can do a screen capture and the color is preserved as is. It is only in one Mac that did this. The color darkens so much that it practically becomes black-and-white.
    Any suggestion would help. I think it has something to do with the color sync profile setting.

    I found out that the darkening of the color in screen capture is caused by screenshot captured into jpeg. The darkening happens when the lines are thin, due to the averaging effect of jpeg. If the lines are thick, then the change in color is not apparent.
    Now, the problem is, I can't change screen capture to capture in png. I used Tinker Tool, and deleted com.apple.screencapture.plist , nothing would change it back to capture in png.

  • Where is color sync located (not color utility) which is required to download icc profiles? Dolores

    Where is color sync located (not color utility)?  I am downloading an icc profile from Ilford paper and the instructions say to first download into downloads, then move to Library.  This I did.  But I cannot find Color Sync to move the profile into.  When I did the "search" the list that turned up was not applicable. After that it needs to go to Profiles inorder that Lightroom 4 paper profiles list can receive it and be able to print according to the profile.  How will I find Profiles?Thanks, Dolores  P.S. I have successfully downloaded profiles before, but this time I am stumped.

  • I'M (not) SEEING RED!  Color Sync issues w/ Pixma 4000

    For some reason the magenta is really off on my printer (canon pixma 4000). Regardless if I print something on Photoshop, iPhoto 5, or Google Maps (Double True), the red hue is a faded hue, almost orange.
    All my inks are full and have been installed correctly; I've checked. I'm using Kodak photo glossy and matte paper. I even print it to "photo quality", but not avail. Basically all paper, even with standard office paper the results are the same. Even when I print with the "Color Sync" option checked, the results are the same. I even reinstalled the driver.
    Could it be my color sync from the monitor to the printer is off? How do I get these two to cooperate better? My monitor is a 15" Apple Studio Display with display profile set to 1.8 Gamma, D65 neutral white.
    Any suggestions are appriciated.
    Thanks!

  • What is the rationale behind the "Adobe Standard" color calibration profile?

    Hi! I'm trying to figure out how to make the most of the various color calibration profiles Adobe offers for my cameras with Lightroom 5. I do understand the purpose of the camera-specific options--they're designed to help approach camera JPEG processing mode colors. And they work wonderfully--they're very helpful!
    But I don't really understand the purpose of the "Adobe Standard" calibration option. What is it for? Why does it look the way it looks? Has it been designed to ease certain processing goals? To enhance certain colors or tonal combinations? Is it designed to be more accurate than the manufacturer profiles in some way? What can I do with "Adobe Standard" that I can't do with one of the camera-specific calibration options?
    I would find it *extremely* helpful if someone who's involved with the engineering behind Lightroom's color (or anyone else who's especially knowledgeable about Lightroom's design) might talk a little bit about why "Adobe Standard" looks the way it looks. What's it for? To what purposes can I leverage it?
    Thanks so much!

    Adobe Stadnard is the name for the individual profiles Adobe builds for each camera it receives. A new camera ships, Adobe gets their hands on one and builds a profile with that sample. It isn't suppose to mimic the in-camera JPEG settings, I don't believe it's supposed to mimic anything but instead produce what is (and quotes are super important in this context) the most 'accurate' color response from the target they use to create the profile. But here's the rub. Not all cameras from the same make and model behave identically. Adobe simply can't get piles of the same body and build then average that response. So they provide a means for you to build your own custom DNG camera profile and for differing illuminates. So if you want to leverage it, you'd get a target (MacBeth 24 patch, X-rite Passport) and build your own custom profile. It can really help depending on how your sensor deviates from the sensor Adobe got to build their profiles.

  • Help with Color Settings/Profiles...White's look 'yellow' when exported to PowerPoint as a .png

    I am running into this odd occurence and can't seem to figure it out.
    First - I am not an expert in the Color settings/Profiles topic but I am thinking there is an issue here.
    When I look at this image "McCroreyDigitalLogo.png" in Photoshop the 'whites' appear right.
    Then when I import it into ms PowerPoint, the whites look yellowish.
    I have done a series of 'tests' and it seems to be that the color profile out of photoshop and the one in PowerPoint are not compatible.
    I have reset my Photoshop preferences with no luck/change to the results.
    Finally, I did a screen shot out of photoshop and pasted that into Power point.  The white appeared correct.
    Could use some guidance on how to fix this one. Basically any files I run through PS, when they are imported into PowerPoint, the whites turn yellow.
    Thanks in advance

    PowerPoint is not a color managed program and can display the color values only in the color space of your monitor without any correction.
    Color managed programs like Photoshop correct the color values when displaying them in order to simulate within the color space of your monitor other color spaces, for example sRGB, AdobeRGB, the color spaces of various printers, and etc. For this reason you can not match the color in non-color managed programs to the color of color managed programs but you can do the opposite match the color in Photoshop to PowerPoint.
    There is two ways to do this:
    One way is if you want the color values in Photoshop to remain the same but be displayed in the color space of your monitor which PowerPoint is using, you can either color proof with or assign your monitor profile to the document.
    To color proof choose View > Proof Setup > Monitor RGB.
    To assign, choose Edit > Assign Profile, select Profile and from the menu choose the color profile of your monitor. If you are not sure what's the name of the color profile of your monitor, go to the Color Settings, in the Working Spaces section use the RGB menu, scroll up and check what it says after Monitor RGB-
    Both proof and assign will give the same result on your monitor but the difference is - the proof is temporary and will last only for the session and the profile, if embedded when saving the file, will stay and when open in other color managed programs including those on other users' computers the color space of your monitor will be simulated and for those users who don't use color managed programs the colors could be way off than if saved with a profile of a more common color space like sRGB.
    The other way is If you want the appearance in Photoshop to remain but the color values converted to the color space of your monitor, choose Edit > Convert to Profile, and from the RGB menu choose the color profile of your monitor. This will preserve the appearance and also match the colors in PowerPoint but like proofing and assigning you are not seeing what other users may see on their computers.
    It is not possible to see the same colors in color managed and non-color managed programs and at the same time simulate how others using different computers may see the colors because different monitors display color values differently. Color managed programs can simulate a common standard color space like sRGB while non-color managed programs can not.
    Edit: Have in mind all this will work properly if you have a color profile that describes correctly how your monitor displays colors. What you did as described in your post #6 is assign a color space that may be different than the color space of your monitor. The result is when working in sRGB color space your color managed programs will match the non color managed programs on your monitor but that doesn't mean that the actual sRGB space is displayed and any other color space simulation could be based on a wrong monitor profile.

    with my Iphone4 and my Ipad.
    //Hoffan

    I use an iMac 21" to sync both my iPhone 4 (iOS 4) and iPad (latest iOS) . My problem is that the universal apps that I only use on my iPhone sync to my iPad also. I have to unchecked the apps I don't want before syncing my iPad. I thought that the iPad and iPhone had different profiles. How do I set up separate profiles for each so I don't have to set up the iPad and iPhone each time I sync?
