GT70 Monitor Color Profile (Chi Mei 173HGE)

In case some people one to fix color profile for their GT-70 Monitor (Chi Mei 173HGE)
Someone from different forum using same monitor had fixed that for us, and I like the 7500k version.
Just make sure you enable Use Windows display calibration in
Control panel > Color Management > Advanced > Change System Defaults > Advanced > Use Windows display calibration

****yellowish color shift in LIGHTROOM: disabling monitor color profile in LR?

Hi all,
I would love to know if there is a way to ***disable the monitor (color) profile**** in LR.
WHY?
Cause all my pictures seems yellowish in LR, and not anywhere else (firefox, i.e, photoshop, xnview, etc...)
I solved the same problem in PHOTOSHOP, this way :
when loading images in photoshop, during starting up, I got this very message :
        " The monitor profile 'LG L245WP' appears to be defective. Please rerun your monitor calibration software. "
with two possible options :
        "Ignore profile" or "use anyway"
Then if I use "Ignore profile" everything is fine!
If I select "use anyway" --> Wrong, all my pictures are yellowish.
That's why I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW, pleaaaaaase if I can do the same in LR.
I personnally didn't find, or what else I should do ?! Knowing that I do not have a ...too expensive!... calibration tool , and my monitor is a LG, L245WP.
----> Thanx sooo much for your help.
       I would love to use LR, but this way I can't...

       where mostly the white in LR appears to be yellow.
       Looks fine anywhere else, and in photoshop, if "Ignore profile" is selected

DdeGannes, Sean : thanx.
I went to my vista profil , added a profile in relation with my screen... but then which on should I select , between the several sRGB options :
- WCS profile : sRGB     a file named wsRBG.cdmp
or
- ICC profile : sRGB IEC 61966-2.1 ?
                                   ( of course I have many more... but....none of the others are sRGB profiles )
Then have you both a calibrator, and you both did all the color "chain" from CAMERA to PRINTER ?
I am asking.... cause all these adjustments + buying a calibrator seems tough to me to manage/achieve.
You know : I'm not a professional ...
To me, non - pro, it looks even more dangerous to do so than leaving evreything in default mode & presets...
Should I do something wrong...
NO?
Moreover I mean : this is odd that my computer , or/AND (?) screen ,
doesn't have a "default setting" which would be suitable in LR , at least which no colour shift !
( I just change my LG screen mode to 5600K etc... and still I have the same yellowish gap in LR )
Why would my color management just be wrong in LR or Photoshop ?
Doesn't this light something I miss to you both, maybe professionals?
If I read you fine, + the other website... everything is kind of automatic now in every softwares... even xnview, firefox, (not i.e.) etc...
so why just LR + photoshop, would be mistaken on my computer,
and Firefox, Xnview, CANON softwares, Painter, ... all show the right profile & colors ???? This is sooooooo weird....to me.
I mean I got the the point that my whole color management is unshure...
but it nevertheless it should BE THE SAME through all my softwares... NO ?
Isn't there a general ADOBE setting somewhere, that might be bugged instead?
I still think , according to that, that we are missing something.
Sorry to bother you with my thoughts....
kiwiii ( paris - france )
ps/ Does really Photoshop detect the changes I would do directly on my screen ?
     Because when I switch from sRGB, to 6500 K , 9300K or user... on my screen,
     I STILL HAVE the PHOTOSHOP ERROR message :
     " The monitor profile 'LG L245WP' appears to be defective. Please rerun your monitor calibration software. "
      I mean PHOTSHOP doesn't seem to notice (give a damn) on any change I make !?
      As for the rest of my computer I never changed any COLOR PROFILE anywhere... So how do people do without a calibrator to use LR ?
      Is it possible at least?
      Is my screen (i thought so good) totally bugged, if none of my color profile is "ok" for photoshop & LR ?
THANX AGAIN FOR READING and helping me...

Monitor color profile, fast switch script

Hi everyone,
I often switch between two monitor color profile, the default one "LED Cinema Display" and the calibrated one, named with the date of calibration (ex:"22June2011").
Is there a way to fast switch between this two with a script, without entering in monitor preferences and move to color tab every time? Maybe set an icon on the menu bar... Or an icon on the dock...
Thanks,
Filippo

More important, the question is not about color management, is about scripting.
Otherwise we're just wasting words, that doesn't seem the right place to speak about profiling...
Do you want help or not? What you're asking has everything to do profiling and color management. You're going about the use of profiles for your monitor completely wrong.
Any profile is an image of how that, and only that device displays, captures or reproduces color. The only monitor profile that makes any difference is one you create. Since you're using i1Profiler, then you must be using an i1 Pro to profile the monitor.
The monitor profile you made with i1Profiler is the only one you should be using. It is an exact description of the white point, black point, gamut and color range of the monitor you are looking at. The canned profile has nothing to do with the monitor in front of you. It's a generic average that is just short of completely useless since it is not a direct description of the monitor you own. Forget the "LED Cinema Display" profile, or any other canned profile on the system.
I can only assume you're trying to simulate CMYK color in Photoshop. To do that, your start with the monitor profile you have. To create a meaningful CMYK simulation, you need to create your own inks file to use as your CMYK color space in Photoshop.

Monitor Color Profile Changes after FUS

My monitor color profile changes after fast switching users, and then I cannot change it back in the prefs for display-color. Attempting to choose (restore) my chosen calibrated color profile does not work.
The only solution is restarting. Loging out and back in does not fix it, only a restart.

Monitor color profile when switching between LR and PS

I have a calibrated profile in use with PS.PS and LR are set to Adobe RGB color space but I use the calibrated profile. When I export an image from LR to PS it shows the mismatch dialogue box: Embedded Adobe RGB 1998, Working: Monitor calibrated profile.
should I use the 1)embedded profile instead of working space, 2)convert to working space or 3)discard embedded profile? I will obviously reimport to LR when finished in PS.

>it shows the mismatch dialogue box: Embedded Adobe RGB 1998, Working: Monitor3-7-08.
Ow, this means you have Photoshop set up incorrectly. Go to Edit->Color settings and make sure that the top-profile (RGB) says adobeRGB. You should never have a monitor profile there except if you're a web designer.
>DYP, you can change LR colour space to other than ProPhoto as default.
No you cannot. You can only change the default profile Lightroom uses to send to Photoshop. Lightroom ALWAYS uses a prophotoRGB-like working space internally for every picture.
>I set it to Adobe RGB to sync with camera and PS.
If you shoot RAW, the in-camera setting does not matter and Lightroom will render as wide as prophotoRGB.
>Would changing to ProPhoto colour space not cancel my calibrated monitor profile? Or am I misunderstanding the principles behind monitor calibration?
No, they have nothing to do with each other. Color managed apps automatically translate between their working space and the monitor profile. This capability is the basic meaning of being color managed. They get the information about the monitor profile from the OS. You never have to tell them about it. Photoshop just knows it. You do not have to set it up anywhere.

Monitor color profile - not converting sRGB to local color profile.

I used Color Eyes Pro to color calibrate my monitor.
When I view sRGB images in FF4, they don't display properly (not converting to my local color profile). Images I save as my local profile as imgs, appear fine in FF4. This applies to both JPGs and PNGs.
IE and Chrome have no issues with view sRGB. Local color profile imgs of course appear correct.

See https://developer.mozilla.org/En/ICC_color_correction_in_Firefox
Caveats: The new QCMS color management system introduced in Firefox 3.5 currently only supports ICC version 2 color profiles, not version 4.

Monitor color profiles go away when screensaver runs

When I exit the screensaver on my Mac Pro (Leopard 10.5.5) my color profile is completely wrong with both screens washed out as if they had some awful default profile applied.
I can fix this by entering Preferences and then selecting Display. As soon as I do that, the correct color profile is loaded and everything is fine.
Obviously that is incredibly annoying.
Does anyone know why the screensaver would cause the color profile to go away and/or why exiting the screensaver would not restore it?

I've been having the same problem with my Mac Pro, though it only happens on one of the two connected screens.
I upgraded from the original GeForce 7300 GT graphics card to an 8800 GT I got from the local Apple store. Rather than box up the 7300 and throw it on a shelf, I moved the it to the top, 8 lane PCIe slot and installed the 8800 in the bottom, 16 lane slot. In stead of putting full load on one card, I plugged one monitor (1024x768) into the 7300, and the other (1024x1280) into the 8800.
The larger monitor, plugged into the 8800, appears to exhibit the color profile issue for a split second before as the screen saver activates, and often (but not always) when coming out of the screen saver. Opening the monitors pane will load the proper profile, but cycling in and out of the screen saver a few times (the number varies, I've seen anywhere from one to five cycles) can also bring up the correct profile.
In addition, cycling the screen saver will some times result in it deactivating and just sitting at a black screen... The monitor will be on (not in power saving mode), but will only display black. Flinging the mouse back up to the hot corner to cycle on the screen saver results in a momentary flicker of the desktop just before the saver comes up.
The 7300 screen behaves as expected when the 8800 is having problems, throughout the cycling and all.

BOE-Hydis sRGB (13N7194) monitor color profile?

Hello all,
Does anyone know what monitor profile should be used for the sRGB BOE-Hydis LCDs?
I'm having a hard time getting it to look right with the ordinary Flexview color profile found in http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-62923
I see the TPFLEX.ICM was not modified after June 2005...
Does someone at Lenovo have an updated profile for this LCD?
Thanks!

Just do an internet search for ICC profile editors/generators/viewers/tools etc. and you will find a bunch of them, commercial and freeware tools. - Look for example at the ICM profile hacker, at LittleCMS or the International Color Consortium, tools like the ICC Profile Inspector ...and so on. - Even Adobe Gamma might be useful in those situations, when you don't have any good colorimeter (GretagMacbeth Eye-One Display, Datacolor Spyder3, X-rite etc.) handy.

Losing monitor color profiles

When I plug or unplug an external monitor (dualhead2go, projector, single monitor) on my MBP mid-2010, I frequently lose the color profile associated with the laptop screen or external monitor. Typically the windows take on a very dark color and are almost unreadable.
I have to go to the display preferences, color tab, and click on the appropriate profile to fix the problem. Often I have to close and reopen apps to get them to switch back, too.
Software is uptodate of course. Running 10.7.3. Anyone else experience this?

Aperture Dual Monitor Color Profile Problem

I have 'discovered' an interesting problem when using my MBP with a Cintq tablet as a secondary monitor. The displayed colors agree very well in Aperture until I go to full screen and then the laptop monitor develops a greenish tint. I have tried all the different secondary display options, and in all cases where an image is displayed on both monitors the tint develops. It goes away as soon as full screen is exited. The Thunderbolt port is being used to feed the display to the Cintq (with a thunderbolt to DVI (?) adapter. I would guess that the laptop must grap the cintiq profile as soon as it goes to full screen.
In perusing the discussion group I see similar problems were reported in the past. It persists with the latewt MBP and thunderbolt, and latest build of Aperture.

I have no real answer except to say that on an older setup pre-Aperture I never did get the Cintiq 15 color well managed. I used the Cintiq mostly for palettes in Photoshop.

LR + Monitor color profile

I'm using Windows XP and I'm using a Pantone Huey Pro to calibrate my monitor. After the Huey does the calibration routine, it'll load the profile it created and does so every time Windows starts, which I'm guessing is how most calibration systems work. It also assigns the profile it created as the default profile of the monitor automatically.
From what I've read here, LR uses the Windows monitor profile as it's display profile. So I'm guessing that this means LR applies the profile to the images when it displays them.
Since the Huey software also applies the same profile to the entire display, won't images displayed in LR receive a double application of the same monitor profile?
I'm asking this because I noticed that the sRGB jpegs I export from LR seem to have duller colors and any sRGB jpegs that look correct in other non-CM aware viewers become oversaturated inside LR.

Thanks Micheal, but your reply doesn't make sense to me. Why would the calibration software not apply the profile as precisely as possible, when it's job is to make the colors of the display look correct for any application.
Actually I don't think Windows by itself does anything with the profiles you assign to the devices. Changing the profiles in the properties of the monitor doesn't seemed to affect the display at all. I think assigning the profiles to devices in Windows is just meant to be a centralized way for CM aware apps find out what profiles a device uses. It seems to take an extra layer of software like the ones that comes with some hardware calibrators to actually apply the profile to the display.
What I think the problem here is that originally a monitor profile is probably supposed to be used only by CM aware apps like PS to display it's images with correct colors. The colors of rest of the desktop would remain uncorrected. However, the software that comes with some calibrators now will actively apply this profile to the entire display/desktop, which is not what PS expects. Thus I think in my case the monitor profile is getting applied doubly when I use PS/LR.
Could anyone definitively tell me if my assumptions are right or wrong?

Monitor Color Profile Coming In With Windows Update

I recently had to revisit the color-management logic in my software, owing to a monitor profile showing up and being installed on users' machines through Windows Update.
Specifically, for some reason a VMware virtual machine running 32 bit Windows 7 is now considered to have an Acer monitor, rather than a "Generic Plug n Play Monitor" (which actually made more sense).
This is the specific Windows Update that brought it in:
Beyond the obvious problem (of a virtual machine not actually having a physical monitor, certainly not an Acer S271HL in this case), this Windows Update is installed with virtually no fanfare. Though as a rule I set my own systems to notify me but not install updates, and I do actually read about the updates Microsoft is proposing installing on my system, most folks don't - they simply allow Windows Update to do its thing without much thought.
This particular monitor profile wasn't bad per se, but it did have an attribute that I didn't anticipate in my color-management implementation. Photoshop seemed to deal with it okay - in this case it was just my plug-ins that didn't (all fixed now). But sometimes we see monitor profiles that aren't okay pushed on users, and they throw Photoshop and other color-managed applications off unexpectedly for users. This profile was set active, overriding the Windows default that was previously set. Would it have overridden a profile (e.g., made with a calibrator/profiler) that had been explicitly set on a system? Not sure. But if so that would have been bad!
Does it seem that Microsoft may be trying to become more aggressive about pushing color-management out to users? If that's the case, wouldn't you think they should fully implement color-management in their own software - e.g., in their browsers? Conveniently, Internet Explorer wasn't affected by this update, because it ignores monitor profiles.
Please excuse my little rant to let off a little frustration over unexpected system changes. Thanks for reading.
-Noel

No, actually the System Default stayed the same, but the ACER profile showed up in the Devices panel. However, [ ] Use My Settings was NOT checked, implying they found some way to install the profile that's outside the normal configuration settings somewhere between the Advanced and Devices level configuration.
The fix is to check the [ ] Use My Settings box, add the profile one wants to use in the Devices panel, and [Set as Default Profile]. This overrides the setting above.

LR 2.5 and color profile problems with Samsung XL2370

Lightroom 2.5 / Windows XP3 / CS4 Photoshop / Samsung SyncMaster XL2370 LED monitor:
Changed monitor from Dell to Samsung's new LED SyncMaster XL2370. Updated Nvidia 7900GS card driver to latest version available.... resulting in a complete mixup of photo colors in Lightroom2.5 as well as CS4 Photoshop CR2(raw) and Tiff files; white becoming red, blue becoming green....., so really wrong!!! JPEG files are not affected.
When I change Color Settings(RGB) in CS4 Photoshop from ProphotoRGB or AdobeRGB1998 to Samsung monitor color profile, colors get at least more or less right.( I don't know how to do that in Lightroom?).
How can I resolve this situation? My complete photo archive is at stake obviously.
Thanks in advance for your help and support!!!
Paul

Thx Ian for your reply! Some more questions...
-Is it "normal" when unpacking/installing a new monitor and updating card drivers that it mixes up color profiles? Your solutions seem still pretty expensive!
-How come that when using other (non Adobe)tools (e.g Canon Zoombrowser EX) colors are OK?
-I know how to specify color profiles in CS4 Photoshop but how do you do that in Lightroom?

Is monitor calibration the same as setting color profile in System Preferences Monitor Color?

I understand monitor calibration using something llike X-Rite or Gretag, but what about the sRGB/Adobe RGB/Generic thing in System preferences>Monitor>Color? Is the latter for printing purposes? What should I select when doing post processing on Adobe Lightroom or Photoshop Elements?

{quote:}After working on my photographs in Lightroom and setting them to Jpegs, I take them to a printshop (semi professional). Would the personal setting on my iMac make any differences to him for printing???{quote}
Yes your Display Profile will slightly affect your finished product, but if that RGB profile is working for you then don't try and fix it. However if you do professional or semi professional work, then you might want to consider using professional calibration tools to calibrate your display.

Monitor/Photoshop/Color profile issue

heyz! yesterday i changed my monitor profile from srgb to prophoto rgb while viewing some images in photoshop. they displayed the same colors after the change, but today i opened photoshop again and with the same images and all the colors were dissaturated. ive done some search and found the probable cause is a ”broken” monitor profile, or one that doesnt match its capabilities. i changed to adobe rgb, reopened photoshop and that image seems to look right, but i think still not how i remember it from yesterday. my question is: is this really the problem and is there a way i can find whats the largest color space my monitor can display without reading its tech book?( cos its long lost)
thanks!
ps: when changing the monitor profile to prophoto i also played with color settings in ps and set it to prophoto/adobe rgb, but that image has an embedded profile and i chose preserve embedded profile when opening it, so i dont think thats the problem.

If there's a question here it's pretty vague. So, here's how it works, in general terms:
A monitor profile is a description of the monitor's native color space. And as such it also defines the gamut of your monitor. But the profile doesn't actually "handle" anything, it doesn't do anything - it's just a description.
Photoshop's color management system is where things are handled. Here, the document color profile is converted, on the fly, into the monitor profile, and these modified RGB values are sent to the monitor. That's all there is to it - a straight and perfectly normal profile conversion. RGB values are remapped to produce the same color.
Any profile can be converted into any other. But any colors in the source color space that would fall outside the target color space, are just clipped to the gamut limit, and they're effectively gone forever. If you have a ProPhoto file displayed on a standard monitor, it's reasonable to assume that a lot of gamut clipping has occurred before it hits the screen, because the monitor color space is a lot smaller.
A standard traditional monitor has a native color space that is very close to sRGB. That's why you can use sRGB as display profile, although of course a calibrator will make one that is much more accurate. This is also why sRGB is the standard for web, because it will display roughly right even without any color management.
Some monitors have a larger color space, and are close to Adobe RGB. These are relatively expensive and are known as wide gamut. If you have such a monitor, it can only be used with full end-to-end color management. In the absence of color management, sRGB material will not display correctly on these monitors, but considerably oversaturated. This is the implication you have to accept when you buy a wide gamut monitor.
