FreeHand MX don't see Monitor Profiles in Windows 7

It was working fine in XP. In Prefs-Color-Kodak Digital Science-Color Management System- under Monitor, only Default is available. In XP I have all instaled profiles available, also in Mac.
How can I get FreeHand to see the monitor profiles? I need to use the SMTPE-C profile.
Thanks in advance.
Willy.

Good catch: The Win7 firewall for the "Home or work (private) network" +was turned on.+ It's turned off now (and re-booted), but still the MacMini doesn't see it!
I don't know what the "time server" is. (I don't think that was an issue before between XP and SL 10.6.) Can you provide a link? Does that mean that the two pcs need to be in the same time & zone?

    Concerning Epson Printer 4880: after changing the Ink from Photo Black to Matte Black I'm not getting the Epson Software in Photoshop and Lightroom. I can not select the paper medium, I don't see my profiles. What is wrong?

    That is priceless!!!  Thanks!  I sure needed a good laugh after spending/wasting hours & days trying to either get my c6280 to give up on its Ink System Failure fixation, or find a decent replacement.  Unfortunately I need the Smart Web Printing feature that I guess only HP has, or I'd try a different brand. And now even HP has very few models with that available.
     My error msg is a little different from those previously stated, but close:  0xc18a0201.  Even tho there were frustrations with my c6280, I did like several of its unique features which are hard to find now under $100.  I hate how HP (& I suppose other brands also) are CONSTANTLY changing models & then of course ink cartridges.
    Oh heavens, I've had the c6280 a whopping 2 1/2 years!   I'm sure they want us poor slobs to have to buy a new one every year & a day!  To say nothing of the exorbitant prices for ink.  And now if this one is really dead in the water, I have SIX unused #02 ink cartridges which I cannot return---I got them in a combo pack, & for some reason have wound up with THREE lite pink & THREE lite blue cartridges, while having to buy extras of the other colors, that ran out before the others!!!   Yeah, & what's with that not being able to print in BLACK if a color runs out????
    Anyway I really loved your essay!   It's a classic!  And says it all!  I hate that we have to be 'slaves' to the electronic 'wonders'!!!

    After the installation of Lion I don't see the partition with Windows 7. The solution?

    Let's be real clear here -- are you saying you are using Internet Explorer and when you try and download Mozilla Firefox it gets around 75% through and shuts down?
    If so there is something wrong with your computer -- or at least IE. I rarely, if ever, recommend this, but it might be time to reformat your hard drive and reinstall your OS (if you are even thinking about doing this the first thing you must do is back up all your data files, preferably to writable media like DVDR or CDR).
    If you have a friend with a computer perhaps you can get them to download both the latest iTunes as well as (more importantly) the latest firmware updater, and then install them on your machine (they can write them to their own CD).
    The other thing that occurs to me is you might not be logged in as admin on that computer -- make sure you are doing this and are the only user.
    Otherwise my brain is fuzzy right now -- perhaps someone else can jump in after you reply (I'm right in the middle of packing for a cross country move and only able to spend about five minutes a day on this board).

  • HELP!! I don't see my iPod on Windows?? VERYY confused

    Hello. I really have a BIG problem or as it seems?!! The problem is that I do not see my ipod on my computer. When I put the CD rom in nothing comes up. I went to My computer and it said install iTunes. When I click to down load ANYTHING type of software that deals with iPod software or iTunes it doesn't finish loading it says "Consult Windows Installer help" or MSDN for more information?? I have 2 other iPods that work perfectly fine with iTunes and other software. One of the iPods had the same problem but I couldn't deal with it anymore so I gave up for about a week and I just put the ipod into the USB2.0 and it was transferring the music. So i tried the same thing with this one and it has been a month and NO change. I also tried deleting iTunes and reinstalling it but it said "Consult Windows Installer help" Im clueless! Please help me !!! PLEASEE i feel like throwing it against the wall right now Thanks for your time!!! Let me know if you have ANY Suggestions!!!

  • How can I fix 'Monitor profile defective'?

    Hi Guys, I really could use some help.
    I have recently installed Photoshop Element 7 and on opening the editor get the dialogue ‘The monitor profile LGW2242 appears to be defective.  Please rerun your monitor calibration software’.  It also provides the options ‘ignore profile’ or ‘use anyway’.
    My Monitor is an LG Flatron W2242S (OK I know it’s not exactly top of the range but it provides a nice big work space).  LG support (that’s an oxymoron) (un)helpfully tell me that this is a problem with Photoshop which must be defective and have introduced a virus!
    This issue appears to addressed on the Adobe website at  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/328/328054.html However, I note this advice applies to PS and not PSE.  Am I right in assuming that Adobe Gamma is not a part of PSE7?  I cannot find it anywhere on my computer, nor can I find anywhere on the Adobe site where Adobe Gamma is available as a download.  Does the Adobe Color Management Module (CMM) supersede Adobe Gamma and/or do the same thing?  http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=3618
    I have been through all the community threads, all the independent stuff on the web and I cannot find a solution to this problem - hence in desperation I am posting here. 
    Can anyone tell me
    1.       Is Elements 7 supposed to ship with or include Adobe Gamma?  Adobe website says AG ships with Elements but that may refer to earlier versions.
    2.       If Elements 7 does not ship with Adobe Gamma are the two products compatible?  If so it MIGHT still solve the problem according to the comments made about this problem with earlier versions.
    3.       If they AG and AE7 are compatible WHERE CAN I DOWNLOAD A COPY OF ADOBE GAMMA?
    Am I only going to be able to solve this by upgrading to CS and/or buying a higher spec monitor or is this warning something that can just be ignored without affecting outcomes?
    Thanks in anticipation
    Peter

    Adobe Gamma is no longer distributed with Adobe products. It was designed to help you visually calibrate CRT displays, and didn't produce good results with flat-panel displays.  Ignore the tech note you found, and don't worry about trying to install Adobe Gamma.
    The "profile defective" message is most likely caused by an LG monitor profile that either doesn't conform with industry standards, or it does conform, is incompatible with PSE.  When PSE starts, you can safely click "ignore profile".
    Color profiles tell software the color characteristics of individual scanners, printers, and displays.  So-called "color-managed" programs use those profiles to reproduce color more accurately.  Most programs on Windows are not fully color-managed, including most browsers, Windows Picture And Fax Viewer on XP, and Microsoft Office.  Adobe PSE and Windows Photo Gallery and Live Photo Gallery are color-managed.
    Some display manufacturers ship profiles that attempt to represent the "average" of that model of display.   But your individual display may differ a fair bit from that "average".  That's why people who care about faithful color will use at least an inexpensive calibrator such as the Spider or Huey.
    Moving forward, since PSE isn't able to use the LG display profile, and you probably aren't using any other color-managed programs, you could disassocate the profile from the display:

    You could also go to the LG web site and see if they have an updated profile.

  • Possible to bypass monitor profile when displaying image?

    After importing a large photo library into Aperture I noticed that when viewing images, they would  change color and in a little under a second the colors looked significantly less "colorful and rich" than before. Sounds "subjective" but it really is not.  There is definitely a transformation going on and the colors consistently become duller on every image viewed.  It is especially noticeable in a album of images taken in the fall using a circular polarizer where the colors looked really great to begin with and then extremely dull after the transformation.  I deleted all of the preview images and set aperture to not regenerate them.  Still, same issue occurred.  The issue occurs with both RAW and jpg images.
    In Canon Image Browser on the Mac colors look great.  It's easy to do an A to B comparison of the same file and see that it looks better in every case.
    But what I've discovered is that I can get the same "dulling" result to occur using Canon's Image Browser 6.x software just by setting one option.
    There is an option checkbox in Preferences that is disabled by default to "Adjust Image Colors Using A Monitor Profile."  Prior to setting that option, the colors looked great, just like they looked on the camera LCD, and they same as they look on my PC also using Canon Image Browser software and Irfan view.  The rich colors seen when not using monitor profile also match what I see in Safari, Chrome, and Internet Explorer browsers.
    In Canon Image Browser when I set the checkbox to "Adjust Image Colors Using A Monitor Profile" the colors become very muted.  They look identical to what I see in Aperture.  Also, I can get the same effect to occur on the PC version of Canon Image Browser.  Microsoft's "Windows Photo Viewer" seems to be monitor profile aware as it shows the same dull colors.  "Windows Photo Viewer" offers no option that I can find to improve the look of the color.  Maybe this is what you want if you're trying to print your images and have them match exactly what is seen on screen.
    I have found that with Photoshop CS5 I can export a jpg to tiff which strips out the color space information and then voila the image "pops" when I bring it into aperture and looks the way it does in Canon Image Browser without using monitor profile.  In fact you can really then compare within Aperture how big the difference is between the two, and the only thing I did was resave the image to a new file format without doing anything else in photoshop.  It's not feasible to resave evertthing as tiff though.
    So my main question is, is there a way within Aperture to bypass the monitor profile so I can see the images with the same colors as they are rendered in the majority of the other tools I use.

    I've done some additional testing on a jpeg image.
    Test 1:
    Canon Image Browser:  "Preferences/Adjust Image Colors Using a Monitor Profile" is unhecked
    Photoshop CS5: "View/Proof Setup" is set to "Monitor RGB"
    Aperture: "Onscreen Proofing" enabled and set to "Generic RGB"  Additionally I've tried every other color profile available
    Result: The colors look identically rich on Photoshop and Canon Image Browser.  Aperture is the only tool I can't get to align with the rich colors.
    Test 2
    Canon Image Browser:  "Preferences/Adjust Image Colors Using a Monitor Profile" is checked.  Restart the software to apply change.
    Photoshop CS5: "View/Proof Setup" is set to "Internet standard sRGB"
    Aperture: "Onscreen Proofing" enabled and set to "sRGB"
    Result:  The colors match on all 3 tools.  The color are very noticeably less rich than in Test 1.
    I went ahead and previewed the image in the browsers on the Mac.  Chrome and Firefox showed the color the same as Photoshop and Canon Image Browser did in Test 1  which looks better in my opinion.
    For Safari color looks the same as Test 2.
    Also Apple Preview looks the same as Test 2 no matter which soft proofing setting is applied.
    I believe Adobe and Canon have the correct behavior and show either richer or duller colors depending on which "proofing" mode they are in.  Only aperture so far cannot be made to do the richer colors.

  • Monitor profile, i think i did it ok but not 100% sure

    After reading several previous discussions and answers i'm still unsure if i do the things ok.
    I have calibrated my monitor using a Spyder3 hardware device.
    Doing so i think this profile is automatically used by my monitor (Eizo cg243w)
    If i'm also correct i have to do NOTHING inside photoshop in order to see on screen the correct colours etc.  OR do i have to set Colour settings to: Monitor colours? (Monitorkleur) with  Ctrl+Shift+K, then first question like this:
    And further more, i work with 2 screens; 1 calibrated (main screen for editting purposes) and 1 screen not calibrated (second screen) for skype, bridge, mail etc.
    I suppose, since i open PS on the main calibrated screen, this is not a problem, but again, am i correct?
    Thanks in advance

    Adobe RGB (1998) is certainly a more appropriate working profille than your monitor profile.  But assuming "Uit" means "Off", I'd say the Color Management Policies section may still need work.
    No one but you can say whether they're the settings "you should use".  We simply don't know your goals, how you want to work, what you want to do when there are mismatches, etc.
    Bear in mind there are no "this is the one right way" settings.  Every single one of them has a use and a reason for being presented to you.
    Here's a snapshot of my particular color preferences.  Since I publish a lot online and my inkjet printer prefers sRGB input, I have chosen sRGB IEC61966-2.1 as my default RGB working space.  If you're printing more often to wide gamut printers then it may be more appropriate for your Photoshop to prefer to use the wider gamut Adobe RGB (1998) color space - or even others.

  • Dual monitor profile problem

    Macbook pro 4,1 , epson 4800, Dell 24" wide gamut display and I'm having the exact same problems as this 3 year old thread!!!
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/7289716#7289716
    Can't print using profiles as wrong profile gets applied. This all happens with laptop NOT in clamshell mode, which I prefer so that I can use all screen real estate.

    Call Epson support and see if they can give you a complete trouble-shooting algorithm.
    The following works for me (I don't think it will work for you, but it may give some leads to explore):
    - I keep the menu bar on my laptop
    - I put Aperture on my wide-gamut monitor (NEC PA271W)
    - I keep secondary display set to "Desktop"
    - I never run full-screen
    - I confirm the monitor profile at least once a day, and every time I change monitors (I work in two locations, ea. with an external monitor).  By "confirm" I mean that I re-assign the profile, not that I re-calibrate the display.
    - I have the external monitor connected directly with an mfr-supplied mini-DisplayPort (iirc) to DisplayPort (iirc) cable.  This was important.
    - I had to take some care with the Epson set-up.  All I can suggest here is most recent drivers.  I first got the USB connection to finally work, and then got the Ethernet connection to work properly as well.
    I mention all of that because in the thread you linked there are comments about both the external monitor not using the correct profile, as well as the printer not using the correct profile.
    I would first confirm (you likely already have) that the printer works properly printing from Aperture with no external monitor.  After that, things get tricky.
    What I picked up from some poking around and talking with knowledgeable people is that OS X does not do a good job with color.  (I was surprised.)
    Sorry I don't have any real help to provide.  Good luck.

  • Does Finder cover flow ignore monitor profile/wide gamut for JPG?

    Hi,
    beeing a proud (?) owner of a wide gammut display I use a special monitor profile to see correct colour which of course only works in applications which support it. I expect the Finder to be such an application at it mostly is.
    ButI found on my System with Lion 10.7.3 that my JPGs display wrong/oversaturated in the finder cover flow.
    This is independant of embedded or not embedded ICC profiles in the JPGs, but just an issue with the selected monitor profile.
    The error is NOT observed e.g. for JPEG 2000 files!
    The error is NOT observed for other image display options within the finder, so only the cover flow is effected!
    Further I can not remember to have seen it earlier in Snow Leopard.
    Can anybody also see this issue?
    Thanks for any feedback!

    I don't have a Wide Gamut monitor, just a 24" iMac/2007, here one jpg in Preview on left & Cover Flow on right...

  • Monitor profile applied twice?

    Hi guys,
    the colors in Lightroom (and Photoshop Elements 7 Raw import window as well) look green and flat. I could fix this problem in the PSE7 editor window by switching off the monitor color profile. But I cannot find any similar handle in LR and PSE7 raw importer. So, it seems to me that the monitor profile is applied twice -- once from LR/PSE (which assumes no further color treatment, so does the correction itself), and second the graphics card (which expects uncalibrated color informations as input).
    Switching off calibration does not help either.
    System is
    Vaio VGN-AW31ZJ/F (Laptop, Wide Gamut display)
    Windows Vista Home Premium
    Datacolor Spyder 3 Pro, SW Version 3.2.1
    I'm desperated... I mean, this is not such an unusual combination...
    Please advice.

    So, last night I've lost my patience with Windoze... All thesepop-ups and advanced and advanced-advanced andadvanced-advanced-advanced options in sub and sub-sub and sub-sub-sub dialogue boxes drive me nuts.... So, I'm back tothe good-old brute force methods:
    From the discussionabove it is clear that (a) all I need is the monitor profile and(b) that the problem is related to the system (and not specific to LRor PSE7). Thus I simply have deleted all icc/icm files in the profiles directory, except the one from Spyder -- and surprise, surprise, the colors seem to be correct now (if meanwhile my eyes have not adapted to the wrong colors.....) Will have to cross-check with a printout and perhaps a "calibrated" proof print, if I can find one... But a priori, the test image looks fine now and is consistent with other monitor profile aware viewers. The colors also seems to be consistent with what I get on the Linux side when monitor profile management is enabled (difficult to compare directly in dual boot mode...).
    After deleting the "useless files", I still saw a very slight green tint in test image. Then I played a bit with the rendering options perceptive/saturation/relative/absolute in the Windows system settings -- before I could reboot the machine (to make sure that there are no left-over settings floating around), just in this moment SP2 arrived. Switching back to the default settings (perceptive for photos) after installation of SP2, I cannot see the green tint anymore.
    There's still some other junk in the Windows profile directory (wscRGB.cdmp, Photo.gmmp, D65.camp,...)... Dunno which harm this does. At least, Bill didn't let me delete it by default... Has anyone any clue what those files are about...?
    I also have tried out the v2 ICC profiles. Actually,  I was working all the time with v2, which is the default setting in my version of Spyder 3 Pro. However I don't see any difference in the outcome. (Okay, I didn't look at the rendering of the shadows in LR yet.).
    Regarding Firefox 3.5, I don't see any problem with color management a in firefox yet. Just want to mention that you can change firefox's color management behavior by typing "about:config" in the URL and then scroll down to gfx.color_management. Here you can type in the name of the monitor profile (display_profile) as well as the "mode": mode is  set to 2 by default, but folks report to get better (correct) results when setting mode to 1. Me, myself I haven't seen any difference here (yet). Actually, Jeffrey Friedl has very nice test pictures on pages 1 and 2 of this above mentioned Blog page where you don't need to guess whether CM works at all or whether it's right or wrong. For me, everything comes out correct.
     PS: Graphics card is according to the spec sheet an "NVIDIA® GeForce® 9600M GT GPU".

  • Book photos don't match monitor

    My wife and I have created several books and calendars, and until the latest round have been very pleased. The first books we made on our 15" G4 Powerbook and the printed results were very close to what we saw on our monitor.
    We have since moved on to desktop iMacs and have found that the photos now print several shades darker than what we're seeing on screen.
    Can anyone give us any advice on how to adjust our monitors to more closely match what we will be getting back from Apple?

    My first Apple book had a decided green tint even though I'd previously calibrated the monitor. I made the 'preferences' changes before submitting my second book and it came back with excellent color.
    There could be several reasons for this…
    your calibration and the resulting profile might have been somewhat off and the sRGB profile was after all closer to the characteristics of the monitor.
    But I doubt, you would see such drastic differences as you experienced. Most likely you just received a poor print – that happens occasionally and Apple is very good at sorting out those issues.
    Also, what's the ominous sounding *very good reason* it's hidden?
    The sRGB profile is a standardised profile and does not reflect how your or any other monitor displays colours. Some monitors have a wider, some have a narrower colour range than sRGB while some might be very close. If you use sRGB for the monitor profile, results will be hit and miss. That’s why I wouldn’t recommend using it and also why it’s hidden in the prefs.
    If you don’t feel comfortable to perform a calibration, using either soft- or hardware, just select the default monitor profile.

  • Fully Color Managed Application (using calibrated monitor profiles)

    Hi,
    I'm new to JAVA 2D so I may be missing something obvious - apologies if I am, but I've been trawling the API and web to try and solve this for many hours - so any help would be much appreciated!
    I'm trying to write an application to open a JPEG with an embedded colour profile (in this case AdobeRGB) and display it with correct colour on my monitor, for which I have an accurate custom hardware calibrated profile. In my efforts to do this several problems / queries have arisen.
    So, JAVA aside, the concept is simple:
    a) Open the image
    b) Transform the pixels from AdobeRGB->Monitor Profile (via a PCS such as CIEXYZ).
    c) Blit it out to the window.
    (a) is fine. I've used the following code snip, and can query the resulting BufferedImage and see it has correctly extracted the AdobeRGB profile. I can even display it (non-color corrected) using the Graphics2D.drawImage() function in my components paint() method.
    BufferedImage img = ImageIO.read(new File("my-adobe-rgb.jpg"));(b) Also seems OK (well at least no exceptions)...
    ICC_Profile monitorProfile = ICC_Profile.getInstance("Monitor_Calibrated.icm");
        ColorConvertOp convert = new ColorConvertOp(new ICC_ColorSpace(monitorProfile ),null);
        BufferedImage imgColorAdjusted = convert.filter(img,null);[I was feeling hopeful at this point!]
    QUESTION 1: Does this conversion go through the CIEXYZ (I hope) rather than sRGB, there seems to be no way to specify and the docs are not clear on this?
    (c) Here is the major problem...
    When I pass imgColorAdjusted to the Graphic2D.drawImage() in my components paint() method the JVM just hangs and consumes 100% CPU.
    QUESTION 2: Any ideas why it hangs?
    Pausing in the debugger I found the API was busy transforming by image to sRGB this leads to my third question...
    QUESTION 3: If I pass an image with a color model to drawImage() does drawImage do any color conversion, e.g will it transform my adobe image to sRGB (not what I want in this case!)?
    And if answer to Q3 is yes, which I suspect it is, then the next question is how to make the J2D understand that I have a calibrated monitor, and to tell it the profile, so that the Graphics2D it provides in paint() has the correct color model. Looking in the API I thought this was provided to J2D through the GraphicsEnviroment->GraphicsDevice->GraphicsConfiguration.getColorModel(). I tried looking at what these configurations were (code below). Result - 10 configurations, all with the JAVA 2D sRGB default, despite my monitor colour management (through the windows display properties dialog) being set to the calibrated profile.
    QUESTION 4: Am I just off track here - does Java 2D support monitor profiles other than sRGB? Is what I am trying possible?
    GraphicsConfiguration[] cfg = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment().getDefaultScreenDevice().getConfigurations();
        System.out.println(cfg.length);
        byte[] d;
        for (int j=0; j<cfg.length; j++) {
          System.out.println("CFG:"+j+cfg[j]);
          d = ((ICC_ColorSpace)cfg[j].getColorModel().getColorSpace()).getProfile().getData();
          for (int i=0; i<d.length && i<256; i++){
            if (d[i] != 10 && d[i] != 13){
              System.out.print((char)d);
    System.out.println();
    Any help much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    I have had some sucess with this, but it wasn't easy or obvious. The trick is converting the color to the monitor profile and then changing the color model to be sRGB without changing the pixel data. JAI's Format operation does this easily although I'm sure there are other ways to do it. The RGB data is then displayed without being converted to sRGB so that the monitor calibration is maintained. I will answer your questions since I had similar ones.
    Q1. Yes the conversion is done using XYZ as it should be.
    Q2. I believe paint is just very slow, not hanging. Any color model other than XYZ or sRGB requires conversion before it can be displayed (as sRGB). This is both slow and incorrect for a calibrated monitor.
    Q3. Yes that is what I have found, a conversion to sRGB will always happen, unless it appears to be already done as when the color model is sRGB (even though the pixel data is not!).
    Q4. It is possible but apparently only with this somewhat strange work around. If there is a way to change the Java display profile to be other than sRGB, I could not find it either. However, calibrated RGB display can be achieved.
    Since I have seen many other posts asking for an example of color management, here is some code. This JAI conversion works for many pairs of source and destination profiles including CMYK to RGB. It does require using ICC profiles in external files rather than embedded in the image.

  • Monitor Profile is defective

    Hello: I have a LG 19 inch monitor
    that supports the DVI interface which I am using. Whenever I launch the editor in elements 8 I get a message that my monitor profile "L196WTQ" is defective and that I should rerun my monitor calibration software. I do not have such software. It gives me the option to go ahead and use the monitor anyway and everything looks ok to me but then everything looks good to my anyway so I'm not sure if I'm getting an accruate view of the photo. I welcome any thoughts and or suggestions.

    Try associating the profile "sRGB IEC61966-2.1" instead and making it the default.   For some reason, some XP systems don't appear to let you remove the default profile, but they do let you change it.
    While calibrating your display will give you better assurance that what you see on your screen is reasonably accurate, it isn't necessary to solve this problem.  If you do decide to calibrate, you could consider buying the Spyder3Express ($86) or the Pantone Huey ($60 at Amazon), both of which have reputations as good entry-level calibrators.

  • No monitor profile available. Yellow tint after import

    Hello. I have bough last week a new Toshiba notebook which has Windows 8.1 preinstalled on it.
    I have noticed a problem that seems other came also on the same issue. When i watch images on a non profile managed software, the images look fine. Once i import them on Lightroom or Photoshop, the images get a yellow tint.
    The problem and a possible solution is also described here: http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=1164320 . This is setting the sRGB as a monitor profile. I know this is not a great solution, but surely better than what i see on my monitor. In any way, this unfortunately this did not work for me.
    This is what i mean with the yellow tint (left Lightroom, right Irfan)
    Today i tried following:
    Step 1
    The image is in RAW format. I import it in Lightroom and gets that yellow tint i described.
    I export it with sRGB in jpg format. The jpg file has still that yellow tint.  Please note here, that others that report similar problems, they mention that after the export they image looks again fine.
    Step 2
    I open the RAW image with Irfan (not color managed) and save it as jpg. The image is saved "correctly", as you see on the right side of the image above.
    Step 3
    I import the exported jpeg that was created with Irfan and import it to Lightroom.
    The yellow Tint now does not appear on the imported JPEG.
    One more tip i can give is: When i do a Soft proofing on Lightroom and choose sRGB i still see that yellow tint.
    What exactly is happening ? I try to identify the problem. Why i see just raw images with this yellow tint, no matter the profile i set for my monitor and no matter the proofing options on lightroom.
    I don't want to spend 100+ euro for a calibration device and not being able to use the profiles.
    Any suggestions for further testing ?

    First - Irfanview needs to be at least IV 4.35 and needs to have the LCMS.DLL plug-in installed as well as having the Color Management enabled so that you have some chance of your Photoshop and IrfanView versions of an image matching:
    Alright we have the first conflict here.
    I have the latest IrfanView version (4.37) , i saw that the Lcms.dll exists in the plugin list, and i have set the settings as suggested.
    Furthermore at the moment i have sRGB as my default monitor profile. Still this is how i see things.
    IrfanView and Photoshop have the same difference as before. Yes i have rerasted IrfanView on every change. I actually freshly installed also the latest irfanView version with its plugin.

    About this
    As you can see the Adobe default processing with the Adobe Standard profile, at top left, is a little greenish.  This is compared to the default camera processing as viewed in the camera-embedded preview jpg from the CR2 at the bottom right which a white frame around it.
    When i open the raw image on LR, i have (from what i can see on my monitor) the same results as your Adobe default processing (Top left) . What confused me on your image above is bottom left image "Adobe processing - Camera standard". What is with Adobe processing meant here? The camera profile? If yes then how can we have Adobe camera profil but also camera standart ? If you mean the process LR provides, mine is set on 2012. But no adobe available for selection. I do not know if this is meant though.
    Here is my comparison between Adobe Standart Profile and Camera Standard.
    LR: Adobe Profile vs Canon Standart Profile
    One more comparison is of the files you made available including the IranView jpg you supplied as compared to the Canon JPG preview that I extracted from the CR2 file:
    What you can see is that the CR2 as viewed in LR and LR's exported JPG of that CR2 look about the same (top and bottom left), and the IrfanView and Canon-JPG versions of the CR2 look the same (top and bottom right).  This is your IV version of the JPG, not something I made, but I expect IV has just extracted the camera-embedded fullsize preview JPG from the CR2 file just like I did using a different tool, so they look the same, but it is possible your IV is using a Canon-specific plug-in that uses the Canon-supplied SDK library DLLs that can also duplicate Canon processing.  I only have the Formats.dll and the CRW.dll but not all the extra SDK DLLs so I expect my IV is only extracting the camera-embedded preview JPG.
    Yes i can confirm that also on my environment. The exported CR2 from LR matches the  exported JPG as also there is a match between IrfanView CR2 with the Camera standard profile export. Unfortunately i cannot confirm if IrfanView uses a sort of Canon-plugin to make the RAWS rendered automatically with the Canon standard profile.
    And if you want your Adobe treatment of CR2 files to look much more similar to your camera's treatment, then use the Camera Standard profile in Lightroom and the PS ACR plug-in.
    Question on this. Should i always put a Camera Standart profile on all my images after importing them on LR ?
    Also please, let me know what you meant with Adobe Processing. I searched on the web with "Adobe Processing lightroom" , but i could not understand what is meant.
    If using the Camera Standard profile doesn't make things look almost the same, then please post a side-by-side of LR's view of the CR2 and IrfanView's JPG extracted from the CR2--what you've linked to, just above.
    Here is a comparison between an exported JPG from Lightrom with camera profile (Right) compared to an exported JPG with IrfanView from the RAW (left). As mentioned before the images look identical, with the one exported from LR with Camera profile being a bit more vibrant. But not much of a difference.
    IrfanView vs Camera Profile export
    So in the end it seems you see also that green-yellowish cast on the RAW image. From what i see on the screenshots you made.
    The question now is why i do not see RAW the same as Adobe software ? Could i do this test with an other viewer?
    To summerize from my side as well. A monitor calibration is surely good to do. On the other side the cast i see on the RAW in this case has not to do with the profile but rather with Adone profile and the way this image was captured.
    PS. I must admit that is one of the best on line support i have ever seen. Thumbs up ssprengel !
