How To See Color Profiles in LR2?

How can I see, within LR2, which Color Profile is embedded in JPEG and TIFF versions of my pix? The "Color Profile" field is provided in "Properties - Metadata" in Photoshop Elements, but I cannot find the "Color Profile" field in LR2 "Library - Metadata", even when I select the "All" option for the Metadata panel.
Is there some way to really see "ALL" of the metadata in LR2?

Paul,
I don't think you can. But, in LR, the color profile (as long as it's taken into account correctly) does not matter that much, since upon Export you have to specify a color encoding to be used (and profile to be included) anyway.

How to set color profile when exporting a RAW file version as a JPEG?

I import my raw files to Aperture and when exporting as a JPEG I want to specify a color profile of sRBG. I cannot see how to set the color profile for the export. Does anyone know how to do this?

When you go to export versions, edit the presets, and there is a drop down box that lets you select the profile.
I'd suggest picking up the Aperture book by Luna, Long, and Harrington. Lots of great info there.

How to see colors on my Mac the way a PC user sees them

Hi all,
I've been scouring the web to try and find a simple explanation of how best to calibrate color on my Mac so that photos that I edit there will appear properly when viewed on the web by a Windows user.
I was working using a profile that made the images look great on the Mac (I think it was a Gamma of 1.8 and temperature of "Monitor Default"), but when I saw the images in IE6 on a Windows PC, they all looked dark and over-shadowed.
So... now for the questions:
(1) Is there a way to calibrate the monitor so it better represents what a PC user would see? (I've read that using the sRGB profile is close, but didn't know if there was a way to get even closer)
(2) If you use Windows on an Intel Mac under either Boot Camp or Parallels Desktop, are the colors displayed the same way a PC user would see them? (I may be updating my PowerBook G4 to a MacBook Pro and would want to have a "test environment" that could emulate PC colors).
Thanks for your help!
- John

In Windows, the default gamma is a much darker 2.2 with a bright bluish white point of 6500K. Change your Mac's display profile to match those settings and the images you create under those settings should look much closer to how you see them on your Mac in Windows.
Profiles are very important in RGB. They let color management software (Kodak in Windows, ColorSync in the Mac OS) know what to do with the image when you open it. That is, when the source and destination profiles don't match (both the monitor and image profiles), the software knows how to alter the image values so the picture looks close to the same on one computer as another. With no profiles embedded, the color management software can't determine the original color spaces. As such, how the images will display on any given monitor will vary slightly, or a lot. It all depends on how that monitor is set up. But this pertains more to color then overall contrast, though it does affect both.
Some (not all) web browsers are aware of profiles. Safari is one. So even if your files have a gamma of 2.2, and a person visiting your web site has their monitor set to a 1.8 gamma, Safari can adjust the color of the images on the fly to have them view correctly by knowing the difference between the embedded image profiles and the user's monitor settings. It's not perfect, but works pretty well.

How to change color profile of exported photos in iPhoto

Hi
Please help. I want to change color profile of exported photos in iPhoto. The iPhoto in my macbook air with mac OS X Yosemite always exports photos in Adobe RGB 1998. How can I make it export photos in sRGB color profile?
Thanks

You can assign a color profile with Preview.

How to associate color profile to pictures?

I am importing under LR thousands of scanned slides, that came out of the scanner in RAW format without a color profile associated. Therefore I need to tag them with the scanner color profile (which I have). Is there any way to do it with LR? More specifically, to do it while importing the photos? Otherwise I plan to use a Photoshop action from Photoshop...

Raw files from Scanners are not Camera Raws. LR is unlikely to read them. Best to use a scanner software like VueScan which can give you a DNG file or TIFF and have the scanner software tag the profile.
At least thais is as I have read it in other much older threads and fron a scanning fiend friend.

How to assign color profile to scanner in ColorSync Utility?

Hi,
I have run into trouble when trying to assign a color profile of my Epson 2480 flatbed scanner. I have a profile that came with the drivers, but every time I try to click on the device and change the Current Profile, the list of profiles available in the system Profiles folder only shows Apple generic profiles. I can't change the Default profile either (the blue dot next to the device profile list).
What can I do to change this? If you don't know the answer, can you point me to the best (in your opinion) forum where those issues are frequently discussed?
I'll continue my research in the meantime...

OK, I answered myself...
ColorSync Utility was by default looking in the System/Library/ instead of the main Library/ directory. The path is almost identical and I got fooled by this.

See color profile of embeded file

Hi guys, I would like to know if there is a way to see in illustrator the color mode of a picture (RGB or CMYK) if a picture that is embedded (not a linked file)?

Cool Monika thanks, the problem is that when I try to open the pdf on illustrator the "Convert color mode" warning appears, so I wanted to know if there is a way to know which images are not on cmyk to correct them and make the press ready file.

Remove color profile from an image

How to remove color profile from an image is it possible through any script?
Manual Try - Don't Color Manage this Document: option is used to instruct Photoshop to remove an existing embedded profile but when I save the file, close and open it I still see a color profile in the embedded image.

On the mac you could have sips do this (it may depend on the file type). You would loose the files creator if Photoshop was its last editor though.

Photos to FCP- best color profile?

Greetings.
What would the best color profile be for a .psd file to be used in FCP? For viewing on HD TV? Regular SD tv?
My gut tells me something like sRGB, but I'm just not certain.
Any help would be appreciated, and please let me know if you need any more info than the vaguery here.
Jonathan

"FCP doesn't see color profiles..."
Not everyone believes that to be a true statement. In fact, when bringing an image from Photoshop into FCP you should first convert image to APPLE RGB. Of course, I don't expect you to believe me, so try it yourself. Bring in one image with just the regular Adobe RGB (1998) profile and the same image converted to Apple RGB. Set each frame for 10 seconds in length and render yourself a 20 second QT movie. Burn to disk and watch it on the TV, you'll see a definite difference. The Adobe RGB image will look "washed out" compared to the image with the Apple RGB profile.
Before you argue with me just try it.
This whole area bugged the crap out of me until I uncovered a true gem stuffed inside a multimedia "how-two" guide written by Brian Storm, founder of MediaStorm and one of country's most sought after multimedia experts. (Disclaimer, Brian was a colleague of mine at MSNBC years ago.) Here's what Brian's "how-to guide" says:
+Final Cut will not accurately import images embedded with the Adobe RGB (1998) color profile. You must convert the images to Apple RGB. This will retain your color information while enabling Final Cut to properly read your new color profile.+
+To change your color profile, select the Image > Mode > Assign Profile... from the menu. In the dialog menu, select "Profile: Apple RGB.”+
Just try it; it works.

LR 4.4 D7100 color profile not accurate

I have been unhappy with the colors from raws on my new D7100. It's bad enough it has banding and color cast issues within dark shadows but today I decided to do a test against my D90 and ViewNX and the results conclude what I have been seeing. There is too much yellow and a lack of magenta in the converted raws with LR. Here is an example. I'm considering sending it back until this is resolved. Copy and paste the link into your browse I can't seem to be able to paste a working copy of it into this post. I remember when I first got my D80 how bad the color profile was, I had to shoot Jpegs for highend kitchens because I couldn't get the wood tones to look correct. Eventually the profile got updated.

You make a camera profile by taking a picture of an XRite Color Checker, either classic or pocket sized, standard color target and feeding a DNG of that into either the Adobe DNG Profile Editor or XRite’s Passport software.
You can make a dual-illuminate profile, using a pair of 2600K and 6500K WB images, or you can make single-illuminant ones that work mainly for one lighting situation, studio shots at a fixed location. I have a dual-illuminant one and several single-illuminant ones for when the Tint is quite a bit different than zero or the lighting has an uneven spectrum or is extreme—arena lighting, fluorescent, mercury-vapor, sodium-vapor. The profiles made this way tend to produce saturated colors and do not have the hue-twists built into them like those made from Adobe.
You can also use something like Imatest to check how accurate the colors are.

I have both a CCPP and a CCC and use the CCPP more but that’s because I’m usually doing outdoor nature photography. The CCC is larger and easier for someone to hold in a portrait or modeling situation:
Imatest is made for measuring all sorts of optical system characteristics. I have the least expensive version and mainly just use the Color Check module of it.

You can also test color accuracy via free Photoshop scripts written by Rags-Gardner for use with various test charts:
http://www.rags-int-inc.com/PhotoTechStuff/ColorCalibration/
R-G also has scripts that compute the optimum Hue/Sat slider values under the Camera Calibration area—this is how calibration was done before the DNG Profile Editor was created a few years ago. The DPE and the sliders work on different parts of the color matrices so you can do them both if you want.

Odd color shift and OS color profile question

I've run into something that leads me to believe that the OS X color profile management has caused me a problem. I'd like to figure out how to tell the OS to not manage color profiles in order to avoid future problems. So far this is only an issue when dealing with CMYK images.
A little background...
I received a JPEG image from a photographer. Converted it to CMYK and made minor edits in Photoshop, not touching the color profiles or trying to color correct. I saved a JPEG of the edited image, and imported it into Freehand 10. When imported, the entire image shifted slightly pink. When viewed in Preview or Photoshop it looked fine. It was only when I imported it that it shifted.
A friend suggested this might have something to with color profiles, so I fiddled around with both PS and FH to make sure they were using the same ones. Even when they were the image shifted pink. This was on my desktop machine, recently upgraded to Tiger.
I noticed my PowerBook was still running Panther. I took the same image, same data file, same programs and when I imported the image again, it was fine. Looked just like it did in PhotoShop and Preview. I immediately saved out a PDF for posterity and press use.
Given the above, the only real variable is the version of the OS. This leads me to believe that there's something about how Tiger handles color profiles on the OS level that's causing this shift. What I don't know is how to remove the OS' meddling to remove it from the workflow.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance...

Thanks for taking the time to help, I looked at my Lightroom color settings since that's how I import my pics and it was set on Adobe Pro I believe... I changed it to sRGB.

Thanks for the info : I'll start with the 4th question because it's the less known factor with Elements
If you shoot raw, the settings of your camera (Adobe RGB) will be ignored. This setting works only with the out of camera jpegs. A 'raw' file has no color profile, so PSE needs to know which profile you want for the conversion. You won't find any menu or dialog entries in ACR for that purpose. So, to convert the file when you 'Open' in the editor, PSE looks at the settings in your editor (my question #2, Menu Edit/Color settings...
If you have chosen option 1, 'Always optimize for computer screens', PSE will convert the raw file to sRGB profile.
If you have chosen 'Always optimize for printing', PSE will convert to aRGB...
If you want to take advantage of the slightly wider color space of Adobe RGB because your home printer can use it, select the second option, but if you have to send the picture in sRGB, do not forget to convert before sending. Menu /image/convert color profile.
If you don't want to bother, use sRGB with the option 1. You won't risk forgetting to convert the client version.
Never use 'No color management' in the menu /edit/color settings
If you first convert to sRGB with option 1, you won't get any advantage to convert to aRGB afterwards

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?

Lightroom doent see the .icc profile - color profiles

Lightroom 5 doent see the .icc profile -they are in the correct folder C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\color -
it sees some but not all -
I have tried everything - even installing Lightroom again.
Nothing seems to work
I am running windows 7 professional 64 bits
please help. I have now spent a week working on this - and have not found any solution.
many thanks
regards

Do you have a link to the page(s) where you’re downloading your profiles from?
LR only support RGB profiles, not CMYK profiles, if that could be the issue.
If there is a limitation on how many profiles LR can display then you should be able to delete some of the unnecessary profiles—the ones you’ve downloaded but don’t need. Don’t delete other profiles that might be used in other areas, just the ones you’ve downloaded for this situation.
On my Windows 7 computer, I see ICC profiles in the following places:
C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\color\ are most of them and I’m sure LR finds some in here
C:\Windows\System32\color\ are a couple of them

How to create custom color profile in OSX?

I started thinking about this after downloading the program "f.lux", which changes the color temperature of your screen depending on the time of day. It seems the program accomplishes this by adjusting your display calibration. Some controls for this already exist (you can tinker with them in preferences>display>color) but they can't be calibrated beyond minor changes to gamma and color tempterature. In f.lux they have a "darkroom mode", which is this amazing red-on-black high-contrast effect perfectly suited for use in a darkroom. I feel like a high-contrast monochrome display could come in handy, but I want more control over the brightness and color than what this app offers. I don't see anything like that in the usual preferences, but I do see a host of various color profiles (apple rgb, adobe rgb, PAL, Pantone, and whatever else...). How do I create a completely custom profile, or edit one that exists? Where are these files stored on my computer? Are there workarounds, or any third-party apps for changing my display settings?
All help is greatly appreciated.
