Colour profiles of images are removed by Muse

Muse removes the colour profile of images when resizing or cropping them. Apparently, colour profile is preserved when image is in original size.
This is a MAJOR ISSUE not solved in more than eight months since it was reported.
Muse is useless for an artist to display his work if colours are displayed incorrectly.

Some browsers support color management and some don't. In order to have image color preserved across browsers you'll want to save your images using a sRGB color profile. If another color profile is used and the browser doesn't support color management, color shifts will occur.
If the images are already sRGB and you're still seeing a color shift, it would be helpful to have the URL for a page that demonstrates the problem. Thanks.

Colour profiles problem - images saving too dull. Please help.

I realise you have probably had this question a million times before and I have looked at enough related threads, but I am still at a loss as to what to do. Please note I'm not the most computer-savvy.
For the record I am using Photoshop 7 (yes it's old, but it suits my needs just fine!) and Windows Vista Home Premium.
What I do is take photographs of my artworks, edit them in Photoshop until they look accurate, then post them online. Images have always looked identical in every program, and I had never had any problems, until I got connected to the Internet on Tuesday. This computer has not been connected to the net for a good few years, and so lots of updates got installed. I'm not sure which ones exactly, as my boyfriend took care of that, but I'm convinced this has caused the problems I am having now:
First I found that an image I had edited and saved as .jpg for web use was showing up overly saturated and contrasty in the Windows Photo Gallery preview. I assumed I had saved it wrongly. I re-opened the jpg in Photoshop to check - it looked exactly as I had saved it. I figured something had messed up with Photo Gallery during updates, so I uploaded the jpg to the Internet. The image that uploaded was the overly-saturated, contrasty one.
After realising that suddenly ALL the images I had uploaded online, and all the images saved on my computer, now had this awful over-saturated look, and yet the thumbnails on my desktop looked fine... I realised it must be something to do with the colour profiles, and tried to find out the answer online. My monitor colour profile was set to "21.5 inch monitor" so I changed that to sRGB as default. I can't remember what Photoshop was set to, but at any rate I set it to sRGB also.
I thought I had it fixed, as it seemed to just be Photo Gallery that was not matching up (it was displaying my images with less saturation than as I saved them).
However today I took a new photo of a drawing I'm working on, to load onto my blog. I had to take it into Photoshop to make edits and correct, as always. I opened my photo in Photoshop... lo and behold, far too contrasty and saturated!!
This time, Windows Photo Gallery preview is showing the (unedited, straight out of camera) photo as it should be... Photoshop opens it too contrasty.
I made my edits anyway, saved for web as .jpg, checked the jpg in Photo Gallery before uploading... It saved duller than it should have done!
Uploaded the jpg to the internet... and I have the dull image uploaded.
So first they were too contrasty, now they're too dull. I have tried to follow advice given on similar topics, to no apparent avail.
Being an artist who displays work online and has a certain reliance on the internet... my images have to be accurate and consistent all the way through. Is there anything I can do to set things back to the way they were before?
I appreciate any help.

eartho - All my images are already converted to the sRGB colourspace by default, as far as I can tell. My images out of camera, the ones I have edited and saved as jpg - I even checked some old images. Through Mode/Convert to Profile, they're all already set to sRGB.
emil emil - Thank you. I will do that in the morning - right now my head hurts and I need my bed.

Colour profiles within PS are off for one monitor only?

Hi guys,
I'm having a very strange issue with colour management in Photoshop CS2 currently.
Photoshop seems to be calibrating all documents in a strange way on only *one* monitor. If I drag the file across to the other monitor the colour is completely different.
Of course it sounds like my monitors being off, however when dragging the file across monitors Photoshop slowly updates the colours for the next monitor. You can see it display the wrong colour at first, then correct it (hopefully that makes sense).
Another symptom of it is when I go to 'save for web'. Here, the colours revert to what I believe are correct.
b It's worth noting that this has only started to happen since some Windows updates. One being an option update from Dell for my monitor - I can't seem to find any information about it though!
My tester that I've been using is a plain white to black gradient. What I'm seeing is a lot of cyan in the middle of the gradient. I've saved off an example:
http://2dforever.com/photoshop.png
As you can see, all the greys are very green, but if you look at the gradient tool in the toolbar itself, the grey appears fine.
I'm unsure how I can adjust the colour profile from Photoshop for one monitor - am I missing something really obvious here?
Just to note: I'm on Win Xp SP2, Photoshop CS2, and I've cleared the preferences.

Since you only mention Photoshop as having a problem, this is almost
certainly, as you suspect, a monitor profile config problem.
Color profiles for individual monitors are configured in
Start>Settings>Control Panel>Display>Settings>(Advanced Button)>Color
Management.
In Settings, click on the monitor whose profile you want to verify before
clicking on the "Advanced..." button. I would start by adding and
defaulting the profile for the monitor that is causing problems.
The Microsoft XP color control panel applet makes setup easier, though it
is not really necessary. If the link below fails, google for keywords

Iphone configuration profile - installed apps are removed

Does anybody have an idea what causes the apps already install on my iphone/ipad are wipped out when i load of profile from the iphone configuration program?

Were the apps purchased from the same account as your music? Do you always sync to the same computer? If both are true you have a seriously corrupted iPhone. Assuming it is not jailbroken, Restore it with iTunes as a New phone and do not restore your backup. Manually add your content back.

Colour Profile Question

I need an answer to this to win a bet...
Does (or can) video have an embedded colour profile as you get with graphic images?
I'm thinking specifically about why a single clip would have different chroma and gamma properties when opened in a range of different video apps.
A good detailed answer would really settle this for me!
Thanks.

Having done some digging I came across a paper by a scientist who compared the colour profiling of images and hardware (such as the TIFF format and Canon copiers amongst other things) and found that his conclusion was that video, as you say is a mish mash of awfullness and horror, for want of a better description.
His recommendation was that 'the video world' needed to start again and get some kind of standardisation and built in profiling within both formats and playback systems.
Of course in the real world that's not going to happen but it kind of proves that there is no proper colour profiling with video. yes they all have their inherent codec/format properties but even they can vary depending on what software/hardware you encode any given file on...as we well know from this forum alone!
I found some interesting facts along the way that also helped me solve a humdinger of a problem I was having in After Effects and Final Cut regarding high contrast DVCPro images, so it wasn't all wasted and I didn't feel at all sleepy`!
Thanks...

Image Colour Profiles are not being applied

When I import images in to InDesign CC 2014 the embedded colour profiles are not being activated.
Therefore images are looking flat and a bit washed out on screen.
In order to apply the colour profile I have to right click on the image go down to Graphics and the colour settings and select the correct profile.
In the InDesign colour settings menu I have Colour management policies set to Preserve Embedded Profiles on RGB and Preserve Numbers (ignore linked Profiles) for CMYK. However changing these to other options makes no difference, the profile still need to be activated on each image.
I am working with RGB images that have the Adobe RGB 1998 profile embedded in them.
I cannot figure out why this is happening!??

Check your color settings.

Colour Profiles on exported images causing major problems

I've been exporting keynote slides as png's to use in video presentations. The problem is that the png's are saved with colour profiles, which means if I export the images from diferent macs, or even the same mac but with a different monitor attached (therefore a diferent monitor colour profile active), the images have very noticeable colour variations.
This is a major problem. I exported 1,000 slide transitions to import into Adobe Premiere, then about 500 slide updates that when imported, were in some cases darker or lighter even though I was using the same keynote and original images. I had to create a batch job in Photoshop to open, ignore the stored profile and save the images using a new default colour profile to try and get all the images consistent.
There needs to be an option in either the Keynote preferences or export options to save exported images without colour profiles.

No, there needs to be documentation on the ICC architecture and how ICC profiles are applied. Stripping out embedded ICC profiles will colour manage the objects (images) in the system, but when the images pass outside the system they will not be colour managed any more. In this scenario, either they will have to be rendered as deviceColor by the numbers, without a definition of the colours their colourants should form, or a source ICC profile will have to be assigned by the following system/application.

I could be considered an unconditional bug in Keynote if it embedded the current monitor profile and not the system RGB colour working space profile (: Generic RGB Profile). If indeed Keynote embeds the current monitor profile, it could be considered an unconditional bug in your understanding if you start by stripping the source profiles. You should be doing a profile to profile conversion in order to get into the RGB colour working space you want in Photoshop.
Sorry, but it helps to have a basic understanding of media independent colour matching (even if the developers don't sometimes -:)).

Can a RAW image have a colour profile straight from camera?

I am totally confused after having read a host of apparently contradictory materials. If I shoor RAW images, can they already have a particular colour profile imposed on them by the camera? Does not RAW mean 'no profile before being processed by software outside the camera'?
I have a Canon Powershot G11 camera. JPEGs are always recorded with sRGB profile in this camera. But after some e-mail correspondence with the Canon technical enquiry department, they have told me that the RAW images are also recorded with sRGB profile, i.e they already have that profile as they come out of the camera and before they are processed by the Adobe DNG Converter and ACR. Can this be right?
Thanks very much in anticipation of a simple answer!

Usually cameras don't embed profiles, rather they include a simple tag in the exif data "hidden" within the raw file. This can be used by manufacturer's software for default rendering, but has no effect upon the actual raw image data. This is also done with jpeg output, although of course the camera has rendered the image into either sRGB or Adobe1998 depending upon the camera settings.
I generally set Photoshop to ignore exif colorspace tags (File Handling within Preferences), only want to honor a profile if is actually present. Therefore I always set my camera to sRGB so that on the rare occasions I shoot in jpeg I won't have the wrong colorspace in use. Of course for ACR the camera colorspace makes no difference, since the output colorspace is chosen within ACR, no attention is paid (for raw) to the exif tag. I use ProPhoto for most work in ACR/Photoshop to avoid channel clipping.

Image opened via OLE - missing colour profiles

Hello
I'm using OLE via MFC/C++ to edit an image in PhotoShop in Windows XP.
To edit an image I first write it into a temporary psd file and then open this file in Photoshop using something like mpItem->CreateFromFile(fileName, clsid)- where mpItem is a type of COleClientItem.
If I embed a colour profile in my temporary psd file then I find that this is not loaded with the image when I use the OLE mechanism. If I open my temporary file directly in Photoshop then it does get loaded.
I also find that there appears to be a limit on the size of image that can be opened using this OLE mechanism - around 2000 pixels in either direction.
Has anyone else come across these issues and if so, how did you solve or work around them?
Many Thanks

HP is fond of pointing the finger at Adobe, and in fairness their drivers often don't work well with InDesign (HP printers account for the largest number of printer related problems on the forum by far, and I don't think it's just due to market share), but installing color profiles has NOTHING to do with any Adobe software. If the profiles were being installed properly by the HP installer, they's be in the system someplace (probably the colorsynch folder) and they'd be available to other programs even if Adobe apps didn't find them.
If the HP low-level tech feeds you that "it's an Adobe problem" BS again, immediately ask to be escalated to someone who knows what they are talking about, and take names.

HT2506 I'm using Preview with a MacBook Pro and MacOS 10.6.8. When adjusting sharpness in the Adjust Colour tool, images are not saved. Any hint? Thanks.

I too experienced the same issue. Here are my details:
Recently I bought a 15” Macbook Pro and last night I tried to connect and use a Edirol FA/66 Firewire 400 connected outboard audio interface using a Firewire 400 to 800 adapter then connected to a Firewire 800 to Thunderbolt adapter since the MBP doesn’t have a native Firewire port. What I observed is that the Edirol was not getting power from the bus nor did the MBP (running Yosemite) recognize the Edriol. At first I thought there was a problem with the Edirol since I haven’t used it in a while but when I connected it to an older MBP that has a native Firewire port, it worked normally. Is there a known issue with these sorts of external audio interfaces working properly with newer MBP running Yosemite? I’m hoping that a software update will fix this issue.

Muse Lightbox slideshow: Hero images are undersize & cropped, can't select to change them

Mac, Mavericks, & Muse: First website: Building Lightbox slideshow. When a thumbnail is clicked in Preview mode, Hero image is undersized and cropped (placed jpgs are max 600 pixels x smaller). Back in Design mode, I can't select the Hero to resize it. Both thumbnails and Hero images are set to Fit Content Proportionally.
Any help greatly appreciated!, Thanks!

I've had a similar-ish issue to you, minus cropping. Two key things:
1) To edit the position or size of the hero image double-click it
2) If the original image is smaller or larger or differently sized than the target Hero frame this (above) will happen. What I did was to
scale the frame for the Hero image to the intended area, then get the dimensions of that area using a rectangle. Copy the vaues to make a new Photoshop document and
manually import the images individually and save the resulting JPEGs which will have the additional space around the image to fill it for the Hero (ideally scale the image to fill the target space by losing any necessary empty space).
Essentially the original images you're using must be the same as the resulting frame which is no good if they're all different sizes. Yeah, it's a pain.
Hope this helps. Look at my website homepage as an example: http://www.goodwinsanimations.com/

I've updated Muse, and now my live site images are gone...

Hello, I've recently updated Muse... Now when updating my site, all images are missing. I've followed other discussion advice and deleted all files from server and reuploaded site from my FTP client. Also, deleted HTML site from home computer and exported a fresh version from Muse. Neither is successful. My conundrum is... I have a second computer with an older version (did not update this version of Muse), when I re-upload my original HTML site through FTP, everything is back and working. Deducing that it's a problem within Muse... So, I went back into Muse and made sure all assets are present and I have no errors. Am I missing something? Please advise, I would love to update my site...

Hello Brendan
If you open the pages (that were exported from Muse) locally from your computer, do they look fine? You need to go to the place where you exported as HTML from Muse and open the pages from there. If they look fine there, then the version of the pages exported by Muse is fine.
Cheers

Using image processor from RAW format to JPEG, the images are suddenly very muted colour, greyish tone, and just awful looking.

Any ideas as to why, when I am converting a group of images through image processor into JPEG, the resulting images are AWFUL. I have been using this process for years without a concern, and suddenly the JPEG files are very greyish, muted tones and just terrible looking… HELP! I'm WAY too busy right now to be dealing with this and having to manually save each image to JPEG

Png/jpg images are becoming distorted when placing into Muse

Hi,
I have a problem in Muse.
I've made a logo/text in illustrator, saved for web either as png or jpg and when I placed it in Muse it right away became distorted.
Sort of, like you're using a small image and enhance it to much.
Does someone know an easy way to solve this. I'm quite new with these programs, so I'm thinking maybe I'm doing something wrong?
Best regards,
Dennis

Can you supply screenshots of your image in Illustrator and then another image with it in Muse?
If you try resizing the image in Muse you can get distortion if you don't keep the same aspect ratio in the height and width. Always best to make sure your image is the correct size in height and width before adding it to Muse or any Web editing program.

Automatically convert images to RGB Colour Profile when opened in Photoshop...

Hi there,
I have just moved over to Photoshop CS6 from Elements 10. One thing I can't work out how to do is to have PS automatically convert opened files to RGB, exactly like PSE does. Is this possible?
Many Thanks

Basically the only way to convert them is by manually changing the colour profile?
To my knowledge, yes.
I'm sure you can write a script that will do that automatically, but I don't script. You can post in the PS scripting forum. Bright and helpful people there. I'm sure someone there can set you up and walk you through how to install "a convert CMYK to working RGB upon open" script.
