Colour profile change when logging in

Hi,
For some reason, the other day, after i ran the app 'sleep display', the contrast or saturation of the colours changed on the screen just as the screen was about to turn off, and when i moved the mouse to turn the monitor back on, the colours looked really wierd.
Now, every time i log in, the colour profile is loaded, and to sort it out, i need to hook up my external monitor to it, and then when i remove the external monitor, the colours are fine. when i log into another account, no other colour profile is loaded, so the colours are fine.
Does anybody know how i can remove this colour profile from starting up when i log in?
Thanks

Thanks for your reply. I did try that, and it did fix an error, but it didn't solve it.
I had a brainwave, and checked 'universal access' and for some reason, the enhance contrast had been enabled some how.

Colour Profile change after Exporting a version

Hi
Has any one had this problem - and found a solution?
My Aperture Preferences are set to - Adobe RGB 1998.
Now,
1     -     if I select an image in Aperture then select EDIT WITH ADOBE PHOTOSHOP
                 the image is opened in p/s
                    when I view the image in Bridge
                         the colour profile is correct - Adobe RGB 1998
Problem:
2     -     if I select an image, then EXPORT A VERSION (to my desk top)
                    the colour profile changes to sRGB   ?
                    Don't understand why this is happening - anybody know why?
                         Thanks

The color profile is part of the export preset as Keith pointed out
Make sure the preset you are using has the color profile you want.

CS6 Illustrator and InDesign colours are changed when the PDF is saved.

CS6 Illustrator and InDesign colours are changing when the saved PDFs are displayed on some different computers and for digital print output. I have ensured that the colours are all CMYK and tried different adjustments like preserving the numbers and the like but nothing is working. It prints properly on my inkjet and has displayed properly on different computers.

You need to read up on color management, color profiles and all that....

Colour balance changes when using 3D graphics

Just what the title says. When I start a 3D game or application, the overall colour cast of the screen gains a distinct cool, blue tint. Shut the app off and it's back to normal. Why does the colour profile change? Is there, at least, a way to make the "3D" profile match my regular one which I've already calibrated correctly?

a specific game?

Macbook pro retina color profile changes when switching from integrated to discrete

Late 2013 macbook pro retina color profile changes when auto switching from integrated to discrete graphics card. Problem started after updating to 10.9.3

Same here. Really annoying because I have my screen calibrated for photo editing, which makes it much warmer than the default color profile. A lot of websites cause the graphics cards to switch for a couple of seconds, which causes the profiles to switched back and forth a few times, everytime. Really annoying, and dissapointing to see, considering Apple released like a hundred .3 betas.
You can use gfxCardStatus to make it stay on one graphics card over the other... Just remember to change it back when you're using a program that actually needs the descrete card.

[SOLVED] how to do colour profiling/calibrating (when using XFCE)

Today I got my ColorHug colorimeter (for screen calibration) in the mail.
I'm using XFCE, and see that the standard way to load a profile is to just put "xcalib profile.icc" in some autorun.
And I see that by installing the colorhug-client I get a simple way of flashing the device itself.
But what's the standard way to calibrate/profile my monitor in XFCE? Gnome has gnome-color-manager, which seems to make things really easy, but when I installed that and did gcm-calibrate, I just got "No device specified!" and there was no --help at all; does it only work when you're logged into Gnome Shell?
I then tried dispcalGUI, which is quite scary-looking. But this program at least recognized the ColorHug and had big buttons saying Calibrate/Profile which show lots of big coloured squares for my new device to hug. But even after rtfm-ing the terms I'm not 100 % clear on the difference between calibration and profiling/characterisation, can I use the same device for both processes?

Note: this seems to work
$ sudo pacman -S gnome-settings-daemon
$ /usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon/gnome-settings-daemon &
$ colormgr get-devices # take note of the Device ID of the one with Type: display, e.g. "xrandr-Acme Corp"
$ gcm-calibrate --device="some Device ID"

From Lightroom 4.4 RGB1998 - open in photoshop CS6 - embedded colour profile changing to SRGB regardless of Lightroom export settings.

Hi,
I'm experiencing an issue regarding lightroom 4.4 - Photoshop 13.0.6x64
This has just started happening in the last few days, I have not changed my settings etc ?
My external editing preferences in the Lightroom preferences menu for the edit in Adobe Photoshop CS6 command are
as follows,
File format    - TIFF
Color Space - AdobeRGB (1998)
Bit Depth      - 16 bits
I run CS6 working space in ColorMatch RGB at the request of the Pro lab I use & have done for years with great results. Before the file opens in CS6 I
get the Embedded Profile Mismatch pop up & I alway select use the embedded profile ( AdobeRGB1998) instead of the working space.
The mismatch menu always used to read,
Embedded : AdobeRGB 1998
Working : ColorMatch RGB
For some unknown reason every file I now open through Lightroom into CS6 - The Embedded Profile Mismatch warning is telling me that all my files
have an embedded SRGB IEC61966-2.1 profile ?
I can't get any of my files into photoshop with my normal AdobeRGB1998 embedded profile anymore regardless of Lightroom's external editing settings?
Seems they are being converted regardless ? have tried removing CS6 preferences Doc from the folder but not making any differences. Even my old files
that I know are RGB1998 embedded are turning up in CS6 converted to SRGB IEC61966-2.1 profile ?
I'm running a Mac 10.9.4, Lightroom 4.4 & Photoshop CS6 - 13.0.6 x64
Any ideas on how this started & how I can sort it out ?
Thanks,
Will.

Is ACR being used to render the images instead of LR? Open an image in the Camera Raw plug-in in Photoshop and check the Options at the bottom of the ACR plug-in that include bit-depth and color profile.

Color profile changes when I wake my computer up.

I'm using the first 15" unibody model, this problem doesn't happen every time I wake my computer up but only has happened when I wake it... The colors will look all off whites will be almost blue... then I open up display preferences and click on the "color" tab and the color goes back to normal... any ideas?

Actually I have the same problem. And I cannot predict when this would accure again. When this happens, I just go to preferences and it's fixing automatically.
I do not think the hardware has any problem, though
I think it is because of Leopard. Perhaps, there is a bug somewhere. By the way, I know that there is a problem with the latest iWeb, which makes images brighter upon publishing (maybe these problems are interconnected). Also, I experience brightening of Safari from time to time!
In menu I have only two color profiles, and I had problems only with one (The Native one which I cannot delete). Today I made another Native color profile. Will use it and see what's on.
Anyway, it would be great if an Apple specialist could tell his/her opinion on the issue.

Embeded Colour Profile

I search but I didn't see this topic so if I did miss it, I apologize...i actually looked in the manual with avail..
I import a lot of digital images from a Pentax ist-ds, K10d, and a Kodak coolscan. They all have different colour profiles that are not in agreement with my cs3 colour profile so when I import, I have to answer a question for every pic..this is tedious..is there anyway i can import a colour profile into cs3 (like noise ninja) or just have cs3 import the accept the profile that is in the image automatically ?
As well, importimg DDG images seems to be a two part process..can I reduce this down to one ?
Thanks
Ian.

In color settings set Photoshop to preserve profile.
then if you want the image to be in your work space you can convert to profile.

Explorer.exe crashes at start of profile creation when domain-joined (using Samba 3.6.25)

Not sure if this is the right forum?
Getting this error (copied from Event Viewer) on a Windows 8.1 Pro client - an event ID of 1000, every time at the start of profile creation when logging in with a domain account. So explorer.exe crashes because of "twinui.appcore.dll" and profile
creation is taking a very long time (about 17 minutes).
Then after being stuck during "Almost ready" screen we are getting a Start-button that is stuck (non-clickable) (and also arrows on the metro-screen icons). Restarting explorer.exe manually helps to get a functional Start-button again.
Tried using a roaming profile and without using a roaming profile (Group Policy setting to always keep profiles local). That does not seem to matter.

Why do the colours from Adobe Color Theme creation change when I try to use them?

I've been exploring the Adobe Color Theme creator in InDesign. There are the three tabs: Create, Explore, My Themes. In the create tab I can create a theme of colours, get the combination just right, and then save my new theme. However as soon as I save any colour out to the swatches, the colour changes! It's driving me nuts.
[Original Colour] -Colour it comes out as-
[green turquoise] -prussian blue-
[strong, bright red] -darkish orange-
[warm purple] -faded dark mauve-
My best guess was that maybe the colour profile of the document was set to CMYK and that the colour themes work in RGB, but as far as I can determine it's just "North America General Purpose 2" and the Working Spaces include both RGB and CMYK. Therefore I'm stumped. I do not have the expertise to figure out what is going on and these are significant colour changes to have a really strong, vibrant colour palette turn into something much more muted.
And if this piece of information is of any use, my yellow doesn't seem to change at all.
Any ideas please? I've tried searching for it, but maybe I'm not putting in the right combination of keywords. Hopefully I'm just being obtuse and someone will tell me to put a checkmark in a box somewhere.

There are some slight value changes between the Theme and the Swatches, but we're only talking a change of 1 or 2 and so the colours appear to stay true now. Total pain to have to do this extra little step every time. =)
a huge, glaring, and sloppy problem which really ought to be fixed by Adobe pronto.
You can batch change the color mode of swatches if you select all of the swatches and double click them. Or, you can simply leave the Lab values and let the conversion to the correct CMYK space happen when you export to PDF.
I'm guessing the fix won't be coming soon. The original Kuler app had the same color management problem. It's hard to see how they will fix it and keep Color Themes as a cloud based web app.
When you convert the Lab swatches the CMYK values you get will depend on the document's assigned profile, so if you make two document's with different profiles assigned you'll get different CMYK values when you convert the Lab values. Here is US SWOP vs US SNAP

Change colour profile on export of jpeg for using files on windows pc

My father, who is 80, has a mac and aperture.
He is reasonable proficient using it, but as a windows user myself I'm unsure of the in's and out's of things and it always falls on me to help him when he has a problem.
He also has a windows computer, which he has a programme on for making calenders.
The problem we have is that when he saves his photo's after editing in aperture to a dvd, he puts this dvd into his windows pc and he cannot see any of the previews.
On opening up any picture in photoshop on the pc, it asks if he wants to use the embedded colour profile or change it.
I'm wondering if Aperture is exporting using a certain profile which windows cannot read? Thus doesn't show the preview.
He needs the preview to pick which pictures he wants to use on the calender.
He then stores all his pictures on the dvd.
I'm pretty sure he shoots as jpegs, not raw. Though I need to ask him.
He has several different cameras, and I think he has trouble with all of them. I'm pretty sure one is a nikon d5300 (I just googled red body nikon)
Is there a colour profile for aperture when saving as a jpeg that is compatible with windows?
It's a hundred mile round trip to visit and to then sit down and try to work it out by trial and error would take some time.
So if I can find an answer and call on the phone to tell him what to do, it'd save me a lot of time
I'm not sure what Mac he has, what OS he's using or which version of Aperture, he only recently bought it, so guess at the latest one.......... I know I'm a great help !!!!!
I can find out if needed, but thought there might be an easy fix....... I know, whenever is there an easy fix for anything!!!
Cheers,
Graham

There is no standard for a 'Preview'. It's a feature of the software that is opening a file as to how it shows those files to the user for selection. Some software will look in the file header for a thumbnail, some will use the files associated icon (if it has one) and some will just present a list of file names. I seriously doubt changing the colour profile output by Aperture will have any impact on this.
Although Aperture doesn't have a calendar feature, iPhoto does and as of the last year or so, Aperture has an option to open it's library in iPhoto. So if he has a current enough version of Aperture and iPhoto, he could avoid the issue altogether if he is happy to switch into iPhoto to make the Calendar.
If he wasn't using DVD (say a USB thumbdrive instead) he could run a utility on the PC to create icons for the files where the icon is a thumbnail of the picture, which the calendar software might then use when prompting for images to load. But the use of DVD complicates this, as it depends on the DVD drivers and file systems in use on the DVD.

I have jumped from 5.1 to CC. When I open a file originated in illustrator 5.1 in CC it changes the CMYK breakdown. Have tried colour setting changes in Bridge but still have differences. Help!

Any warnings when opening the file?
You might need to reset all warnings in preferences.
Apart from that itlooks like your color management settings are set to convert into profile. This is absolutely not advisable.

Wrong embedded colour profile causes huge jpg files when published to .Mac

D'oh! i posted the following on the iDisk discussion my mistake. Here it is all again for iWebbites:
I've spent most of the day trying to optimise my new iWeb site on .Mac but the published jpg files are far too big.
Despite sizing to 800x600 px and jpegging at about 5 or 6 in Photoshop which resulted in a file size of about 100kb on my local disk, when uploaded to .Mac via iWeb the they have turned into 800 kb files.
Lots of trouble-shooting, including ensuring that they weren't converted to png, that they have no borders, reflections or drop-shadows yet they still got bloated on the upload. Especially the photos in the photo-gallery page.
I've isolated the problem but don't know what to do next:
Turns out, iWeb ignores the sRGB embedded colour profile and replaces it with the monitor profile of the originating computer.
I discovered this after I opened the file in Photoshop directly via iDisk in Finder. Converting or assigning the file to sRGB and saving it back down to iDisk immediately restored it to its intended file size of 100kb and this time with the correct sRGB colour profile.
Going now to the domain.sites on my local disk and opening the package shows all the photos doubled up. A 360 x 264 .jpeg file with the monitor profile embedded and bloated out to 800kb plus the original 800x600 image with sRGB and .jpg as the file type but still only 100kb
So what the heck is happening in iWeb to do this and to use the wrong file type associations with the wrong file when uploaded?
There is very little on the forum about colour (color) profiles and no mention of the bloat in file size, just a reference to colour and tone issues with the wrong profile so I'm wondering if its related to the 1.1.2 update. (I haven't really tried using iWeb until the last week or so).
Fixing the problem by post processing the photos on my site every time I publish would be impossible with the amount of photos I have and my intention of updating the web galleries regularly.
As you can find out if you go to a photo page on my site:
< <a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://">http://web.mac.com/adrian_malloch/iWeb/AdrianMallochPhotography/ Kabaddi.html > some pages take horrendously long to load. Check out some of the other Subculture pages. I haven't tested them all but Safari Activity viewer shows that most of the slow speed is related to opening jpeg files.
Any help and informed suggestions would be hugely appreciated.

This is doing my head in.
My last two comments "posted" half way through writing, before I had a chance to edit completely.
Here's how it should have read :
Using sRGB as a monitor profile, in itself, doesn't make a lot of sense.
A monitor profile is custom made specifically for the monitor to compensate for its display characteristics.
A "good enough" monitor profile is to use the software calibration built into the Displays preferences. Go to System Preferences/Displays/Color/Calibrate and follow the prompts. Hint: squint as you try to judge the colour and tone differences. The idea is to make the detail so fuzzy you don't notice it.
It's not very accurate, especially with LCD screens, but it's better than nothing and certainly better than using a universal colour space like sRGB, etc.
The accurate option is to get hold of a hardware calibrator like the Spyder, or Gretag-McBeth iOne Display (which I use). It costs a bit but is vital for accurate repeatable colour.
The whole point is that when the profile is made up and is set as the default profile, then you will get a WYSIWYG screen.
So, the same images will look the same on different monitors providing they each have accurate monitor profiles made specifically for them.
If you use sRGB as your monitor profile then you cannot expect the image to look the same on any one else's machine, whether they use sRGB, a monitor profile or any other profile. Worse still, if you change an image to "look right" on your screen, chances are that the image will look horrible on another screen.
Hence, why I will only switch to sRGB monitor profile as a workaround for uploading in iWeb. Nothing else!!

When logging onto a web site with a log on name firefox is changing logon name from Kostas to kostas as the site is case sensitive it is not acceptable. how do I correct this? Thanks

I registered with a web site and used the name Kostas as the log on name. Entered a question and recieved replies
When I later tried to log onto the web site to say thankyou ,and enter Kostas in the log on box a reminder appears created by Firefox of kostas, I ignore this, move to the password box and firefox changes the log on name to kostas with small k. The register is case sensitive so for quite a while I could not understand what was going wrong? I eventually managed to log on by using a rival system
My previous experience is that if you use a different log on name it is recorded and then you choose the correct one to use? But in this case I am given no choice
How can I correct this please
Probably no connection but
I registerd with another site and recieved an e-mail in which I had to click on web address to confirm registration and came up with an error message, tried a few times and same thing happened?? The webmaster of this site had no record of my registration details?
Finally I had a phone call from a company called NERD-I.com
offering to solve various computor problems at a fee. I did not take up their offer, but hope they do not have anything to do with my current problems??
Many thanks

Hi Corel
Thank you for your reply
However I need the lower case version for some sites and the upper case version for the site in question? To make matters worse this site does not allow you to change your log on name unless it is in the form of an e-mail address
So what I need is Kostas for this site and kostas saved for other sites and allow me to choose which one I want to use
How do I do this please
I have no bother with this on Win Internet Explorer but I like Firefox
Mind it may be as simple as deleting The appropriate entry and resetting with Kostas instead of kostas?
But I would appreciate knowing the correct solution from an expert
