How to fix ICC profile errors?

I just brought Photoshop CS6 lately and I am trying to edit a picture but I get this message:
"The embedded ICC profile cannot be used because the embedded ICC profile is invalid. Ignoring the profile" "
What do I do to fix this?
Please provide clear instructions as this is the first time I am using Photoshop.

Some clueless individual handed you a file with an invalid color profile embedded.
You can either ask for or demand a corrected file from your source, or you can just let Photoshop ignore the profile and then assign different profiles to the file until you find the one that makes the colors in the image look best to you—by trial and error.
You should know that color management is far from an easy subject.  If you're a rank beginner in Photoshop, be prepared to do a lot of reading on the subject.  You could start here:

Photoshop is a professional-level application that makes no apologies for its long and steep learning curve.

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.1.0 distiller ICC profile error asks for reinstall

    I have Windows XP professional, SP3.
    My Systems Administrator recently upgraded my Adobe Acrobat Pro 8 to 9.1.0 and since then I keep getting an error that says: Distiller cannot find its standard ICC profiles. Please reinstall Adobe Acrobat to correct this problem.
    This error happens when:
    1. I print to Adobe from a web page (IE 7.0.5730.11 or Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.20)
    2. I try to print to any printer from certain websites, such as the usps.com, where I print all our postage labels from.
    3. Occasionally when I start up the PC.
    Sometimes I get the error but it still pdfs the page. Usually, though, it hangs and then Acrobat and the web browser close.
    I seem to be able to pdf MS Office 2007 items (Word, Excel) and my Filemaker Pro Advanced 10 records. I guess it's when I'm "printing" to Adobe as opposed to "saving as pdf" that I have this problem.
    Acrobat 8 worked fine. My Sys Admin has reinstalled the upgrade twice (after trying a repair which didn't work) to no avail. He can't find any documentation about this error at Adobe, so he's going to uninstall it and switch me back to Adobe 8.
    I do all of the pdf'ing of our deliverable documents at my company and I would like to have the latest edition of Acrobat. If anyone knows of anything I can do, please let me know.
    Thanks!
    Stephie

    Adobe Tech support was most helpful on this.  First download the updated
    Distiller ICC profile files at:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=4075&fileID= 3790
    Unzip the file and copy only the *.icc files (without regard to the subfolders that they are in - in other words, take the files out of each of the subfolders) to the followng folder in Windows 7:
    c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\color
    These new files will probably overwrite some old ones.
    This solved the problem for me.
    This is actually the best solution though I found that instead of copying all the .icc files to the windows\sys...  folder, all you need to do is copy the 3 Video files from the RGB folder (VideoHD.icc, VideoNTSC.icc, and VideoPAL.icc).  Once you add these three files to  c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\color  you will be good to go.
    It seems that this was an error on the part of Adobe in that there is no reason to include Video files for printing.  Nevertheless, the distiller will look for these and return the ICC profile error message if those files are not present.

  • How to embed ICC profile

    Hello,
    I'm trying to embed an icc profile in a pdf, I am actually doing like this:
      char *filePath=NULL;
              ASPathName ICCPath;
              asprintf(&filePath,"%s/ICC_PROFILES/%s",DataDirName,profileName);
      #if !macosx
                        ICCPath = ASFileSysCreatePathFromDIPath(NULL,filePath,NULL);
              #else
                        ICCPath = GetMacPath(filePath);
              #endif
              ASFile iccProfile = NULL;
              ASFileSysOpenFile (NULL, ICCPath, ASFILE_READ, (ASFile *)&iccProfile);
              ASStm asStmICC = ASFileStmRdOpen(iccProfile,0);
              int tmp = ASFileGetEOF(iccProfile);
              char* buff=calloc(tmp,1);
              ASStmRead(buff,1,tmp,asStmICC);
              AC_Profile profil = NULL;
              ACMakeBufferProfile(&profil,buff,tmp);
              PDDocColorConvertEmbedOutputIntent(pdDoc,profil);
    it's kind of work since I have the icc profile inside my pdf file (I can see it with vim)
    but I'm having issue when trying to open it with Photoshop ... Photoshop don't see the embeded profile.
    any idea ?
    Regards,
    William

    An OutputIntent Profile (which is what you are creating with the PDDoc call at the end) is NEVER used by PDF UNLESS the PDF is also compliant with one of the subset standards (eg. PDF/A, PDF/E, PDF/X) - see ISO 32000-1:2008, 14.11.5.
    Why are you setting this profile?  Is the PDF a single page with a single raster image?

  • How to fix No service error

    How to fix No Service error for my iPhone, which is recently factory unlocked from US and using it in India

    Did you actually buy a factory unlocked and contract free iPhone from the U.S.?
    The way you put it, it implies that someone has actually done "factory unlocking" on your iPhone, which is not possible. Factory unlocked iPhone is sold on Apple online stores in the U.S.
    ** One should not receive "No service error" on factory unlocked iPhone, unless the SIM is faulty; unsupported carrier or it's a locked phone to a specific carrier.

  • How to fix the E225 error on the MF 4380 dn printer

    How to fix the E225 error on the MF 4380 dn printer

    Hi okekeP,
    The imageCLASS MF4380dn was not released by Canon USA in the United States, but was distributed in other markets such as Canada, Europe and Australia.  I would recommend to referring to the Canon support group for your geographical area to ensure the proper support application is being used for your product. However. I will be happy to offer some assistance.
    The closest US model would be the imageCLASS MF4370dn. The recommendation when the error occurs with this model is to perform a reset the product.  If you have not done so already, please attempt to reset your laser printer as outlined below:
    1. Disconnect the power cord attached to your machine while "on" for up to 10 minutes.
    2. Reconnect the power cord for the unit and plug it into a different known working outlet direct to the wall (not a surge/power strip) to ensure it is receiving full power.
    4. Once your unit has initialized, confirm an error is not displayed in the LCD.
    If unresolved, please refer to your Canon support contacts for further assistance and whether a firmware update may be available to address the issue or if service may be required.
    In case helpful to you, here are direct links to the product page for your laser product:
    - if your product was purchased in Canada, you can visit the product page for your laser device on the Canon-Canada website, www.canon.ca.
    - if your product was purchased in Australia, you can visit the Canon-Australia website, www.canon.au.
    - if purchased in Europe, you can visit the Canon-Europa website, www.canon-europe.com
    I hope this is helpful to you.

  • Why am I getting an ICC profile error when making a pdf?

    I have not see this before but now when I export my document to a high quality PDF, then I get an error message which says that "version 4 ICC profiles were converted to version 2 ICC profiles during pdf export." I have used this same setting for years and have not changed it and just started seeing it this last couple of weeks. What does it mean that the profile must be changed? What is the difference in quality between version 4 and version 2?
    Thanks for any help.

  • How to install ICC profiles in Lightroom

    This is probably an easy question, but I didn't see an obvious reply in Google.  I use ICC profiles when I print from Photoshop, but they don't appear in Lightroom.  Is there an easy way to install all my profiles into lightroom?

    Jim,
    Thanks!   I was scratching my head there for a moment, because that's how I install profiles in Photoshop. I couldn't figure out why they weren't showing up in Lightroom. It finally dawned on me that I had had to nuke and re-install Lightroom due to a persistent corrupt file. Apparently the profiles went away with the previous installation.  Thanks for your help!
