Editing display profile

Is there a way to actually edit the display profile in order to change the gamma? I calibrated my MacBook display manually, and I'm quite happy with it. The only issue is that it is slightly too dark.
I would like to change only the gamma of the display profile without touching anything else. Is this possible?

When I'm not sure if I'm going to like a profile, I just make two or three of them, all named slightly differently, since you can just switch between them in the Displays pref to try them out. When you settle on one and are sure you don't want the others, just throw them out of Computer/Library/ColorSync/Profiles.

Best display profile for video editing

Among the choices you see under Display Profile on a Mac, what is considered "best" choice for video editing, so that you can assess color, exposure, etc. in your footage as you edit? I have always used Adobe RGB (1998), but realize that I have no knowledge about whether that's a good choice.
What do the 'good' editors use (to differentiate them from guys like me)? Do top editors calibrate their monitors for video editing? Any insights into this would be greatly appreciated!
-- Mark Strand

what is considered "best" choice for video editing
there is only one setting for Final Cut; Generic RGB
This is an apple stipulation, its how Final Cut must be set up, choosing any other profile will cause problems with any out put files you create.
Do top editors calibrate their monitors for video
ICC colour management is designed and can only be used for still image files eg. so while you can calibrate a computer monitor it can only be used with still image files; TIFF CRW JPEG PSD. ICC profiles are not recognised by Final Cut Pro or QuickTime.
The colour management system used in video involves using video scopes, an accurate PAL or NTSC colour monitor and tools like the 3 way colour corrector.

What display profile should I be using to edit photos in Photoshop RBG?

I just realized that as I'm doing photo editing in Photoshop, I'm not sure that my display is accurately showing me what the colors are. If I'm doing RGB in Photoshop, should I keep the Color LCD profile in Displays, or should I switch to an "RGB" one? Any suggestions? I like the way the regular one looks.

The best profile to use is the one that most closely matches the characteristics of your display. Apple ships generic profiles like "Color LCD" that represent the average of the displays coming off the assembly line. Some profiles, like "Adobe RGB" or "sRGB" are intended for use as working color spaces in Photoshop and other photo editors and must not be assigned as a Display profile because they don't match the spectral/tonal response of your monitor. Stick with Color LCD, or make a profile specific to your monitor by using a calibration device such as a Huey or Eye-One to objectively calibrate your monitor. You can try the Calibrate button in the Displays dialog box, but the problem is that human eye calibration is notoriously inaccurate because your eye automatically compensates for color casts.
For similar reasons, how it looks is not very relevant. It may have no bearing on how accurate the grays and colors are, colorimetrically speaking.

Get-splogevent Correlation ID, login failed for "Edit My Profile" in My Profile Error An unexpected error has occurred

Hello Community
    Edit My Profile in My Site displayed an error that "An unexpected error occurred" with a
Correlation ID. I have tried to read the logs in the 14 hive Logs folder but unsuccessfully.
I was able to understand Event Viewer logs, there was supposed to be 4 possibilities
one was wheter UPS was running, the other was clearing the cache and the other 2 I also fixed
I even recreated the Search Service Application, Metadata and UPS but when I fixed the problems
the error still occurred.
    Then I used a Powershell command that displayed output but the Output doesn't make sense
because it is saying the login failed associated with the database that was created by the Search
Service application when it was created.
    But how can that username be related to the Search Service database? Below is the output:

Color display profile

I have noticed that the colors on my Air and IMac differ substanitally.
My Air (and my wife's Macbook Pro) have a default color profile called "Color LCD"
My Imac's profile is called "IMac"
The colors running Color LCD are more red. This is especially noticeable on the Air. If I change the profile to sRGB on the Air then the colors more approximate the IMac colors but not exactly.
My question is whether or not the default settings in different Apple monitors should yield such different results. I use Aperture on my Imac to edit colors on phots and videos. I have nowe chenged my Air to sRGB and the colors are closer although the whites on the Air now have a blusih tint. If I share my photos around to others, will the reddishness that is a problem on my Air also be on most other standard display profile settings?
Thanks

For me and my 17" iMac "Adobe RGB (1998)" from the preinstalled profiles has the richest color. Here is a great link to help you calibrate and set new profiles:

Factory Display Profile Trashed By Accident

I please need your help. Today I thought I'd re-calibrate my display, did a little housekeeping and I accidentally trashed the iMac G5 factory icc profile. Now when I go to calibrate the display I get: The factory profile for the display could not be found. The display has gone from gorgeous to all washed-out.
Does anyone know where to find this specific profile on the iMac G5 install disc or do I find it on the Tiger install disc? I have a great 3rd party program called Pacifist which allows one to extract files from the install discs without doing an archive and install; I just can't seem to find it. One more thing, I also need to know where to put this file back into the system, that's if it can be found and extracted. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
All photography editing has unfortunately been suspended for now. I need that profile...
Barb

FWIW, I had to do an Archive and Install from the Tiger disc. Couldn't find the specific iMac profile anywhere using the 3rd party Pacifist application, although that app is excellent for extracting other files. It must have been buried somewhere deep within the system.
So....the lesson learned is to be extremely careful when cleaning out your old display profiles or the calibrator for the display will no longer function. By all means, keep the iMac profile. I thought it was a profile I created, now I know it wasn't.
It's nice to have things back to normal!

Iphoto does not use the proper display profile

Hello.
I just bought a 20' Apple Cinema display and connected it to my Macbook. I have noticed a very strange behavior of iPhoto and Preview.
I will first describe the expected (right behaviour).
When I drag an image opened in Adobe LG or Aperture from the Macbook display to the Cinema display (or the opposite) after a very small delay the color of the image adapts to the color profile of the display where it was dragged. Which is the correct the behavior.
With Preview or iPhoto this adaptation does not happen and the image is displayed with the right profile only on one of the 2 display. Besides being a very annoying issue, the very strange thing is how you can choose on which one of the displays the image gets displayed with the right display color profile:
- With Preview, the display color profile used (for both displays) is selected based on which is the default display in ColorSync display settings.
- With iPhoto, the display color profile used (for both displays) is selected based on which display the munu bar is (!!!). That is, if you want to have your image displayed with the right display profile on your cinema display, then you MUST have the menu bar on that display. If the menu bar is on the Macbook display the image on the cinema display will be displayed with the display profile of the Macbook display. Crazy!
You can try all of the above remembering that after any change you need to quit and reopen iphoto or preview or ColorSync for the settings to apply.
My question is: why neither iPhoto nor Preview act in the right way like Aperture or Adobe LG? Or at least, why iPhoto does not behave like Preview allowing me to choose where I want the menu bar without having this choice affecting the display color profile used to display my images?
Thank you,
Marco

Make a feature request at http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html
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), 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.

Interface/Gamma issue - Display profiling

If you profile/calibrate your display (with professional software) to Gamma L* - darkish, grey boxes appear in some application-windows. Never happend in Tiger so I figure it's a Leopard issue.*
If you use Gamma 1.8, the Apple default, Photoshops windows (in my case) look perfekt. With Gamma 2.2 they're barely noticable (pretty much only if you know the boxes are there).
All the other settings you can choose while profiling - like temperature, luminance, chromatic adaption, profile-type etc. don't influence windows in this way - but as soon as you change the gamma those boxes appear.
I would very much like to know how you guys deal with it - do you profile your display to 1.8/2.2 (like a CRT) OR do you use L* and live with the boxes OR have you profiled your display properly/with L* but you don't have this nuisance? (!?)
Any help/info would be greatly appreciated.

*So here's what I think happens (+ my idea to solve the grey-boxes issue):*
Some applications use the monitor-profile to draw their interface. Like Photoshop and Graphic Converter. (The only 2 I've installed, I'm sure some video-editing-applications, even players are concerned that's maybe the reason some people think it's 'random'). I think these apps do so to immediately can reflect a change in the profile, without restart.
Now Mac OS X Leopard seems to not allow these applications to do so in certain parts of the interface. (Must be new, that's why there were no issues with Tiger) The window itself is drawn by the OS. That's the reason only elements like the text and buttons are affected.
And the problem is that the OS uses its 'Generic RGB Profile.icc' which contains Gamma 1.8. So if you calibrate your display with Gamma L* (which you really should do and most profiling-software does by default) those grey boxes appear in said applications.
The solution is easy. Replace the system-rgb-profile with one that supports L* - like the eciRGB profiles.
To do so you have to rename the .icc file in finder but also edit the information inside (which can be done with the ColorSync Utility). Then copy it to the System/Library/ColorSync/Profiles folder.
*After that the grey boxes dissapear and everything is back to normal.* There's some difference in the tabular data like the CMM and a chroma-entry, so you might want to re-write your display-profile just to make sure everything's alright.
I haven't seen anything yet but could imagine that the rendering of webpages in safari might be affected. Or rather some webbrowsers' without colour management. (Just a theory, hopefully not...)
*Problem 1:*
Some Adobe apps can see that the current system-profile is identical to your working-space-rgb and reset your rgb-choice to the Generic RGB profile after a restart. (Without changing the 'Colormanagement SYNC'd icon/setting.) This probably could cause trouble if you export or open files.
Solution:
Use a different profile for your system than your Adobe-RGB setting. I used the 'L-Star RGB v2' for the system and the 'eciRGB v2' for Adobe. They're technically identical but for some reason Photoshop and esp. Illustrator now respect my choices and don't reset anything. Works fine for me.
*Problem 2:*
Besides the aforementioned chroma-entry in the Apple default profile (which loss shouldn't cause any issues) there's also the localisation information. Because the profile is named differently in different languages of OS X. I haven't found anything causing trouble (probably because if the profile isn't found it resets back to the english version by default).
Solution:
This would be easy if someone knows about a .icc file editor. If we could add those localised names from the Apple profile no application would ever know. I've only found hexadecimal editors but won't put something like that on my machine, especially since everything works fine.
*I hope Apple comes up with a real solution soon, this seems like too much of a hack - considering the delicate nature of colour management.*
*If you read this and know what I'm talking about and disagree or know any reasons why one would not want to do this - please speak up! I'm sure I'm not the only one who would like to know.*
This is pretty much mirrored on the Adobe forums btw.

How to edit my profile's public visibility?

I want to edit my profile visibility in public to change only my contacts. But I can not edit in my profile editing section. Please give me a solution. Thanks

Hi, Goodle, and welcome to the Community,
These profile settings are determined by Skype. Where you see a default setting as "public" or "contacts only," that is precisely where the information will be displayed. The Time and Number of Contacts settings are the only two items for which we are granted choices, as indicated by the drop-down arrow beside each setting.
Many Skype users have posted here in the Community that they would like Skype to change these settings to enable more choices, in other words to make the profile settings more flexible. If you do not wish the information to appear as "public" or "contacts only," simply leave the setting blank or not specified.
Regards,
Elaine

Display profile and scaled display

I have a 13 inch mid 2014 macbook pro retina. Anyway, Im curious about the display profiles (i.e. color lcd, adobe, generic, and sRGB). Which is the default one? Will using one or the other help to keep my battery usage low? Same thing with the scaled resolution options. Will these help to lengthen battery life by a couple hours?
Id like to find a way to make my macbook last longer on battery. Apple says they last about 9 hours but Ive been noticing its about 6 or 7 really, and thats with the brightness pretty low and with only safari open and watching a movie.
Thanks for your help

Color LCD is the correct choice. That is the profile made for the display at the factory.
The only time you want to choose something else is if you have generated a customized profile using calibration hardware. Using a calibrator is usually important to photographers and designers doing color-critical work, but not necessary for users in general. The sRGB and Adobe RGB profiles are there for other uses (like photo editing) and must never be chosen for the monitor.
The color profile has zero effect on battery life. Scaled resolution might, but I doubt it.
The Apple Store page describes their battery rating: "The wireless web test measures battery life by wirelessly browsing 25 popular websites with display brightness set to 12 clicks from bottom or 75%. The HD movie playback test measures battery life by playing back HD 720p content with display brightness set to 12 clicks from bottom or 75%...Battery life varies by use and configuration. "
It is plausible to get less than 9 hours if certain factors are affecting the load on the computer. For example, if you've installed background processes that might use a little CPU all the time, like monitoring utilities, system customizers, or sometimes drivers for peripherals. Also, I am not sure whether the Apple test has Bluetooth on or off. In the Apple test, the movie is being watched in iTunes (using QuickTime), but if you are watching your movie through a different player like YouTube (which uses Flash) or Netflix (which uses Silverlight), the Flash and Silverlight technologies may drain the battery at a different rate than iTunes Quicktime.
I think 6 or 7 hours is OK if you are using other applications like PowerPoint or Photoshop. Anything involving graphics is going to drain the battery faster than office apps or music.
I have gotten very long battery life on trains and airplanes where there's no wifi, because I shut off wifi and Bluetooth and turn the brightness down when the cabin is dark. Under those conditions you might get at least 10 hours of battery if the CPU isn't under a significant load.

ColorSync - Display Profile Affect Importing?

Hi,
I hope someone can answer this question for me. When you import photos into iPhoto, does your current Display Profile (in System Preferences) have any affect on the ColorSync profile added to your photos? For example, if you imported one batch of photos, then changed your Display Profile, would photos imported from then on have a different ColorSync profile put into them? Or does it not matter?
I really want to start importing photos into iPhoto, but I'm very concerned that my current Display Profile will get embedded into every single photo.

It only adds a profile to a file if that file does not already contain one. If the file has a profile assigned by the camera iPhoto does not override the existing profile.
However, if you edit a file and then drag it to the Desktop it will contain the profile that the monitor is set to. I just ran a test on two files that were stripped of their profile, imported into iPhoto, edited and then dragged to the desktop. I had previously set my monitor to the Adobe RGB profile and the end image files contained the Adobe profile.
Bottom line is: the original file imported must not have a profile assigned and be edited before iPhoto will assign one (to the modified file).
At least that's what's happening on my present setup. You can check it out if you have any files without a profile. I used i iView MediaPro to strip the profile from the files for my tests. You can download and use it in the demo mode to run tests yourself. User the Action->Manage Color Profiles menu option.
NOTE: On another test just now, with *iPhoto's option to embed a profile unchecked*, iPhoto still embeds a profile into the modified versions. Very strange.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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), 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 08 libraries 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.

Desktop Display Profile XML

If you perform a fresh install of Portal Server 6.0 and create a new organization... is there supposed to be some existing information in Desktop -> Display Profile: Edit XML ?
In the admin guide at docs.sun.com the directions for creating a new organization say to download and upload the Display Profile XML. There isn't anything there.
Is there a document that clearly explains what they're talking about.
In a previous thread on creating new organizations, the user says to copy the XML from an existing organization and paste it into the new org. Unfortunately, after a new install, there is no existing organization to copy from.
And finally... is this portal server software something that requires the admin to take the Sun classes? It seems to me there is a lot of information lacking in the documentation. I don't see how anybody can get this thing up and running on the documentation alone.

Adding to the same question, how do we restrict a user from editing a display profile,
If a user is making modification to the desktop and logs off, when he logs back i dont want his old state, but i want the state which he could for the first time when he logged.
please provide pointers for doing the same

How to make create, edit, display form in a page fragment ?

Hello everyone,
I have a problem when I want to make create, edit,display in a page.
Ok let's say we have created two pages,
In page A we have 3 buttons, CreateEmp, EditEmp and DisplayEmp button and one text field as a parameter field to edit and display (let say employeeId).
In page B we have form employee to create new employee, edit employee and display and a button AddMoreEmp (to add more employee without back to page A)
in this case if button EditEmp is pressed in page A, so button AddMoreEmp in page B will be enabled
if button DisplayEmp in page A is pressed , so button AddMoreEmp in page B will be disabled.
Thanks in advance,
samantha

I think what you are looking for is a comb field. It acts like a regular field but puts the vertical lines in between each character. You can turn the comb on in the object palette and indicate how many chars will appear in the field (so that it knows how many lines to draw).

Display Profile No Longer recognized in Final Cut Pro After Mavericks Upgrade

I have a 27" 3.4 GHz I7 imac. and an Apple 30" Cinema Display After the Mavericks upgrade my viewer window suddenly has completely crushed blacks and is extremely dark. Projects previously exported out look perfect in both Quicktime and Preview. I can export a project and it looks fine, just terrible in FCP. It seems that it is related to my calibrated display profiles. FCP will not recognize them now under Mavericks and worked fine with Lion. Switching to the generic imac or cinema display profile will hold after the change and make the viewer look normal. I downloaded FCP 10.1 didn't fix it. Any ideas why this is happening now?

After researching this quite a bit and seeing this Very very dark video in FCP X viewer. I was able to fix the problem by building a matrix based profile. This problem dated back to the first FCP release for some, but I never experienced it until updating to Mavericks. It seems that Mavericks is the problem, since nothing changed with FCP. I read somewhere else that another color calibration software tool was having an issue that Maverick's broke LUT (Look Up Table's} I'm surprised that I am not seeing more photographer's/videographers with this issue. It may just be that those that are using calibration don't have softaware that builds LUT profiles by default.
