ICC Profile when saving in PSE9

How do you change the ICC profile when you save a file in PSE9? I need to change the profile to the downloaded version from my photo Lab before they make prints.

To chabge profile of any image you can change it from Image menu.
Steps:-
1. Launch PSE and open the image.
2. For changing mode Go to image menu Image -> Mode and convert the mode as you require.
3.For converting color profile Go to image menu Image -> convert Color Profile and change it as per your requirement.
cheers,

How Important are ICC Profiles when Importing Stills into Premiere Pro?

Hello,
I came across the following troubling language in a review of one of Steven Hullfish's books on Color Correction:
"I also felt as though the author neglected to give ICC profiles enough attention.
Granted, they are seldom used in pure video workflows, but there are an awful lot of folks out there compositing still images into video content who need to know how to soft-proof against the right destination space in Photoshop so they aren't surprised by the color shifts they see in their ICC-unaware video software. Surely that should merit a pull-quote of its own somewhere."
My photos have been saved in PhotoShop in the ProRes color space. Is this going to cause unpredictablility in how my colors look when shown on a 30 foot screen?
Is Premiere Pro a type of what this author describes as "ICC-unaware" video software?
If so, what steps should I be taking?
Thanks,
Matt Dubuque, 100 Trees

Premiere Pro does not use ICC color profiles at all. Photoshop and After Effects do.
When you are working with non-color-managed applications, it's especially important that you preview your work and check your output on the same sort of device on which your audience will be viewing it.

Disappearing color profile when saved for the Web

Hello.
I have a problem with the “Save for the Web” results using Photoshop CS6 running on Win 7 x64.
My photos are already in 8 bits and in sRGB and when I save for the Web I check the option “embed color profile”, uncheck “convert to sRGB”, metadata to “copyright and contact info”.
When I open the resulting photos in Photoshop, everything is fine as it recognizes the embedded color profile. Same thing when I open these files in Firefox, Safari or Chrome: the colors are correct.
Now, when I right-click on a file in the Win Explorer and look its properties, the line about the color profile is blank, as if there wasn't any. This doesn't bother me but the problem appears on my Website created with Joomla and using for the display a module, Responsive Image Gallery, which creates resized copies of the photos. At this point the copies have completely lost their color profile. I entered in contact with the module's support and they assured me that it preserves the embedded profile, so I come here to gather some information about how this “Save for the Web” embeds the color profile because may be I just didn't understand how it does and if it's different from the “Save as” way.
The fact I can't see the profile through the Win Explorer makes me think Joomla's module doesn't either.

Incredible how much gballard's site is famous! Lol. I use it for a while now and checked again right now with the three Web browsers and everything is all right.
As indicated in my first post, when saving for the Web I checked the “embed color profile” option. I already resized the file and converted it in sRGB first in Photoshop.
Yes it's pretty confusing to see some software not able to see the color profile when the file is saved with that option.
To illustrate, here are three screenshots from Windows' file browser => right-ckick on the file => properties => details:
Opening that “saved for the Web” file in PS, it's ok, the CP is recognized.
Opening it directly (from the file browser => “open with”) in Web browsers: ok in Firefox, Safari and Chrome (CP recognized in all).
Copying that file in my working site on localhost (no modification), integer it in Joomla's module gallery (which is CP aware) and then opening my site on localhost with Web browsers: ok in Firefox (because it considers a non-tagged file by default as beeing sRGB), NOT OK in Safari neither in Chrome.
Now, if I do the same with the “Save as” version of the file with embedded sRGB CP:
PS: ok
Opened directly in Web browsers: ok in the three cases
Opened in Web browsers through my Joomla site on localhost: OK IN ALL THREE BROWSERS
Good point gator_soup: I'll post a bug report. I'm new here on the forum and thought Adobe's staff would post here.

Cannot see ICC profile when Proofing ?

Hi All, using PSP CS3
I am trying to get a ICC profile to appear as 'Device to Simulate when soft proofing in CS3. This ICC file is from Adoramapix.com, to simulate their printers. When I drop down the list of 'Devices,' there is a older Adoramapix prifile, but I can't seem to get rid of it or remember how I added it?.I have already right clicked on the ICC and selected 'Install Profile.' Not really sure what I was doing, but I also tried to add it under Display Properties>Advanced>Color Management. But I would get an error 'This is a printer profile which cannot be associated with this monitor.' I do have a canon printer at home, but never use it for printing photos.
Anyone have an idea of how to make this ICC profile appear when soft proofing?

Are you an a Windows machine ? If so these ICC profiles are stored in c:/windows>system32>spool>drivers>colour and new ones should be installed there and old ones deleted from there.

ACR not saving color profiles when saving out to TIF...

The Players:
ACR 4.6, PS CS3, Mac OS X, MacBook, Nikon D200
The Problem:
ACR does not seem to be saving my color profiles when I work on my Nikon D200 NEF files. After saving them out as TIFs and opening them in Photoshop CS3 - files read as "Untagged RGB" and the colors are definitely way off from what they were saved as in ACR. Frustrating!
The Request:
Thank you for any help - trying to get a job done!
Best,
Paul

Paul,
You need to update your Photoshop to version 10.0.1 ASAP. You're also two versions behind in the OS; 10.5.6 is out.
If you do not know how to trash Photoshop's preferences, check out the FAQs in the Adobe Photoshop Macintosh forum:
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3c057d1b
To trash Bridge prefs, hold down the Option key as you relaunch Bridge, then check the boxes in the ensuing dialog box.

Elements 7 - Using Custoim ICC Profiles when Printing in Editor

I have downloaded some custom ICC profiles specific for some papers I use. They are there - I can select the profile printing from the organizer - Color Management>Print space - but they do not appear in the list of options if printing in Editor. Am I forced to print thru Organizer now?

>When you open the box in Editor>Print for the ICC profiles, the box doesn't scroll easily. You have to hold the left mouse button down as you scroll to see the entire list.
Try moving the Print window all the way to the left. If you have a small screen, move it further so that the left half of the Print window is off-screen. Then you should be able to see the scroll bar of the drop-down list of profiles.
This bug was identified in PSE 6, and I had thought it was fixed in PSE 7. But evidently not I was just able to reproduce it on my laptop.

ICC profiles when sending pics to outside labs

I take pics with a Pentax K10D DSLR.
I calibrate my screen with a Huey Pantone unit.
I upload the pics to Iphoto.
I adjust the pics to look great on my screen.
I upload the pics to Costco photo center for printing.
I get back incorrect colors and muddy prints.
Costco tells me I need to upload to them using their ICC printer profiles and that will insure that I get back what I see on my screen.
I downloaded their profiles, but for the life of me, I am unable to determine how to impliment them when uploading the pics to Costco.
I know that professional photographers use photoshop to get great prints from Costco but that is not in my budget.
Please help

1 - iPhoto is a consumer level program designed around point and shoot digital cameras - it does support RAW but if you want to do LOTS with RAW then you need an appropriate program - like aperture for one
2 - You may want to look at PhotoShop Elements which does almost all that PS does for a lot less money
3 - you also may find that updating your software will assist - iPhoto 6 is at least 3 or 4 years old now - there have been two major new versions since it was released

Embed Color Profile When Saving In Photoshop?

Hi all -
Let's say I am saving a TIFF as a background for a DVDSP 4 menu out of Photoshop. Do I want to have the Embed Color Profile checked or not? How does a make a difference to DVDSP (if it does)? Mine is set to sRGB IEC61966-2.1
Thanks,
Jason

I believe sRGB is the default for most screen-based systems such as DVD studio. You shouldn't notice a significant shift if you stay in this color space in DVD studio. Just make sure it isn't Adobe RGB. This is a very specialized space for advanced Photography for use with hexachrome printing workflows. Monitors and TV's can't reproduce the colors represented in Adobe RGB and it is unwise to make color decisions on such monitors without advanced training on how and why to use wider color spaces such as Adobe RGB. In contrast sRGB is created to be about the same as most monitors ad TV's so what you see is very similar to what will be visible on your target medium.

ICC profiles- iPhoto colour management issues.

I read in one of the Mac magazines the following regarding the release of iPhoto 5.0.3 ...."images are no longer colour-shifted after editing;....". Does anyone know if this refers to a resolution to the long running problem whereby iPhoto would overide the embedded ICC profile when saving back into iPhoto after editng in Photoshop. I do hope so as this was an unacceptable major flaw in a programme from Apple - a firm which prides itself at being at the forefront of colour management ! I can find no reference to this is in any release notes on the Apple support site - anyone with 'inside knowledge" ?

When I place the files into the document they become noticeably over saturated.
Select the image and check the ICC profile in the Links panel link info. Make sure its profile is the expected blurb CMYK profile. If it's Document CMYK check the document CMYK profile in Edit>Assign Profiles... and make sure it is the Blurb profile. The assigned profile can be different than the Color Setting's working space profile.

Keeping the ICC Profile

Hi,
I need to load an image, perform some transformations to it and save it as JPEG. But I've noticed some color issues. Not perceptible when you look at it on the monitor screen, but perceptible when printing it an looking at the picture.
What I noticed is that if an ICC profile is assigned to the image, then Java wil take it out.
I've tried both JAI and Java 2D but both of them ripps the ICC pofile from the image.
I also tried something as simple as loading an image an saving it as JPEG without any transformation but the ICC profile isn't there after saving it.
The JAI code I'm using it is as follows:
        PlanarImage pi = JAI.create("fileload", imagePath);
        JAI.create("filestore", pi.getAsBufferedImage(), outPath, "jpeg");And the Java 2D is:
        Image image = ImageIO.read(new File(imagePath));
        int width = image.getWidth(null);
        int height = image.getHeight(null);
        double factor = 1.0;
        if ((width < MIN_WIDTH || width < MIN_HEIGHT)) {
            factor = MIN_WIDTH / (float) width;
        } else if (width > MAX_WIDTH || height > MAX_HEIGHT) {
            factor = MAX_WIDTH / (float) width;
        int newWidth = (int) (image.getWidth(null) * factor);
        int newHeight = (int) (image.getHeight(null) * factor);
        BufferedImage out = new BufferedImage(newWidth, newHeight,
                                              BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
        AffineTransform transform = new AffineTransform();
        transform.scale( ( float )factor, ( float )factor);
        Graphics2D g = out.createGraphics();
        g.drawImage(image, transform, null);
        FileOutputStream fileOut = new FileOutputStream( new File ( outPath ) );
        JPEGImageEncoder encoder = JPEGCodec.createJPEGEncoder( fileOut );
        JPEGEncodeParam param = encoder.getDefaultJPEGEncodeParam( out );
        param.setQuality( 0.95f, true);
        encoder.setJPEGEncodeParam( param );
        encoder.encode( out );Can you point me what I'm doing wrong?
Is there something I'm not considering?
Does Java takes the ICC profile when loading the image or when saving it?
Thanks!!!

The most recent version I've seen was pretty clear in the documentation:
"ICC profile, not implemented in this version of Photoshop"
So the image you send needs to be sRGB

PS CS5 Image Display Differs From Used ICC Profile In Win 7

Hi,
on my Windows 7 Ultimate x64 machine, I just calibrated my Dell SP2309W monitor using an i1DisplayPro and basICColor 5, creating a ICC v2 profile (I am aware of the problems under Windows with ICC v4 profiles).
It created the ICC profile and applied it to be used by Windows. I double checked under COLOR MANAGEMENT that the new ICC profile is being used. Although I can see that the new ICC is being used (desktop appearance changes), there are a few issues I am experiencing:
(1.) Windows Photo Viewer
The thumbnails in Windpows Explorer look fine (they DO use the new ICC profile), when I double click a jpeg and open the image it DOES NOT use the new ICC profile. When I click the PLAY SLIDESHOW button (starting the slideshow) in the opened image in Windows Photo Viewer, the images DO use the new ICC profile.
(2.) Internet Browsers
All current internet browser (Firefox, IE, Safari and Chrome) DO use the new ICC profile and display the image correctly.
(3.) Photoshop CS 5
When I open the same image - that Windows Photo Viewer does not correctly displays (according to the new ICC profile) - in Photoshop CS5, I get the same image display that Windows Photo Viewer gives me (when not thumbnail or not in slideshow mode) - it appears to be the sRGB display.
My color settings in PS CS5 are: North America General Purpose 2 > sRGB IEC 61966-2.1.
When I go to View > Proof Setup > Monitor RGB I get the image display using the new ICC profile.
Why does the image look different in PS than my calibrated monitor should output ?
I was under the impression (please correct me if I am wrong), that the sole purpose for calibrating my monitor was to get a uniform display across (ICC aware) applications. Even when one applies different color spaces to a document in PS, I thought the output on my calibrated screen done by the graphic card should always be according to my calibration and the settings in the ICC profile being used.
What Am I doing wrong or what am I misunderstanding ?
Any help or input is appreciated !
Thanks.

Hello,
A note on monitor calibration: calibrating your monitor will not guarentee that every application will display color correctly, it's more of a step along the pipeline, and for the preview part of a color workflow it's the last step. Here's how color translation follows for an ICC workflow when previewing to a monitor:
Image Color Numbers > Document Tag or Workspace Profile > Monitor Profile
For non-color managed applications, if the original document is or isn't tagged with a color profile it will be translated directly to the monitor profile anyway. This is the equivalent in Photoshop of selecting "Monitor" in soft proofing. Selecting monitor in softproofing will bypass the tagged or workspace profile to translate colors directly through the monitor profile.
For most automatic color managed applications (like Firefox), the image will be translated through the tagged profile and then sent through the monitor profile. If the image is untagged or the profile is unrecognized, the colors get sent directly to the monitor profile.
For Photoshop, a tagged document will have its profile respected and then sent to the monitor. An untagged document will be assigned the workspace profile, which acts like a temporary document profile, and then gets sent to the monitor. This is often why users will notice Photoshop behaves differently from other applications. It's usually a case of the workspace coming into play. By default the workspace profile is set to sRGB. You can change this in Edit > Color Settings.
The purpose of the workspace is originally for printing workflows, as a way of keeping consistant color translations when dealing with both tagged and untagged documents. For web output workflows it can be useful for viewing everything through sRGB, which is typical of the average monitor output (not so with newer wide-gamut monitors, another source of confusion...) combined with the fact that originally most web browsers were not color managed. Hence viewing everything through sRGB is pretty close to what most monitors see and what untagged/unmanaged docs will look like.
Monitor calibration is useful only because it brings your monitor output to a "known state". In traditional workflows the monitor was always a middle-man, a preview device which was useful for getting an idea of what the printed output would look like before you print it. Since print colorspaces are often smaller than display spaces, it's feasible and useful to narrow down the monitor/display space and calibrate it to a known state, so that even if it doesn't totally match the print, you'll get used to its differences/limitations and they'll be consistent so long as the calibration is maintained.
For web output, your final output is often another user's computer monitor, which can have any form of behavior (most standard monitors are pretty close to sRGB, or use sRGB as an operating system workspace (default monitor profile). Wide gamuts behave differently, but I'm not sure if there's a particular ICC space that they closely match, or if different wide-gamuts are even that close to each other in their display color spaces.
Hope this helps!

Please, please, please make ICC profile info available for RGB files.

I know, I know, I know - if everything's working properly one should never care what the icc profile is that's being used to interpret the colors in a file. And good people shouldn't get killed by falling tree branches... but stuff happens, and sometimes icc profiles are not handled properly and colors are off because the wrong profile is being used or is absent and assumed to be sRGB when that is not correct.
Photographers care about color and nothing is more important than the ICC profile when it comes to properly displaying colors.
I'd also like to see the ability to assign an ICC profile, swap an ICC profile, and convert to specified ICC profile. But I'd be happy enough just to have the icc profile name displayed - I could take it from there...
PS - I'd like to see this feature removed in ten years (I'm an optimist) after all image handling software handles icc profiles correctly, until then... (please).
Thanks in advance,
Rob

Never mind - I just realized this information is available via ExifMeta (plugin) - I retract the request for personal purposes.
Still, it might be worth consideration for people who don't use ExifMeta.

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!

Image Processor: Include ICC Profile?

I shot jpg sRGB. Should I include the ICC profile when extracting images? The images will be uploaded to zenfolio.com and made available for print sales. Looking for guidelines and what you folks do. Thank-you.

Hi,
Do you have Include ICC Profile checked at the bottom of the Image Processor dialog?

ICC profile conflicts when printing from Aperture?

I have worked with Aperture now for two years, and I still have problems printing anything that is close enough to what I see on my calibrated screen. And believe me, I have done some reading on color management and ICC profiles. I suspect that Aperture pulls in ICC color profiles in a way that doesn't allow reproducing what I see on the screen. I wonder if these problems are related to the Registered ColorSync devices: opening ColorSync Utility under Devices reveals a bunch of default printers with a diversity of profiles, even if I have no access to these printers (in part these are network printers of my previous employment). I cannot figure out how I can delete these entries: I tried to find remaining printer profiles of these printers in my files, but could not find anything. How can I delete these entries, and can these entries cause color profile conflicts?
More specificially: I work with Aperture 2.1.3 and view my photos on a calibrated 23" Cinema display, run from a MBP with 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 10.5.6, and 2GB of memory. My monitor is calibrated with a Spyder for D65 and gamma of 2.2. I print with an Epson 3800 on Epson paper.
Here is my problem: despite calibrated monitor I don't get the prints to look even remotely close to what I get on my screen. Of course, I use the correct ICC profiles for my papers, and of course I have Aperture (and not the printer) run color management. It seems, however, that my prints resemble my monitor more if I use strange profiles such as "Wide Gamut RGB" or "ProPhoto RGB" as my monitor's profile instead of the calibrated D65, gamma 2.2.
In detail, here are my regular print settings in Aperture:
Print Mode: AccuPhoto HD
Color Mode: Off (No Color Management)
Output Resolution: SuperPhoto - 1440 dpi
Advanced Color Settings: Epson Driver Color Management is Off.
In the Aperture Print menu I use under Printer Selection:
ColorSync Profile: for example, Pro38 PGPP, when I use Epson Premium Photo Paper Glossy
Black Point Compensation checked.
Gamma: 1:00
Under Layout Options I use Print Resolution: Use Best DPI
With these settings the prints look significantly colder than what I see on the screen. Of course, a certain amount of the warmth of the screen colors comes from the calibration to D65 and gamma of 2.2, but shouldn't this give me the best correspondence between the calibrated screen and the print (using of course the color management of the application with ICC profiles, not the printer driver color management)?
I tried the same in CS4 and Lightroom, but no difference. Again, the problem is not that the prints are terrible: they are just not very close to what I see on the calibrated screen.
Where do I make a mistake? All suggestions are very welcome! This is driving me crazy. Many thanks for your help!
Best,
Kai

While the technical aspects of color management are complex, they are largely irrelevant for users.
The following steps have worked well for me:
Step One: Calibrate your monitor. I use the Datacolor Spyder. This produces a monitor profile. Use System Preferences to set your monitor to use this profile. Don't use this profile for anything else and give it a clear name so that you don't confuse it with a printer profile.
Step Two: Download and install the latest drivers for your printer. Buy a small box of photo paper (gloss, semi-gloss) from the manufacturer of your printer. Make sure that you have the correct ICC profiles for this paper and printer. You are trying to establish a baseline.
Step Three: Pick an image with a reasonable range of colors and exposures. (Don't start with a "difficult" image.) Turn soft proofing off and adjust the image as desired.
Step Four: Send this image to the printer. Load up the manufacturer's paper.
Step Five: In the "print" dialog, go to the "Printer Settings" sub menu and select the correct "Quality and Media" and the appropriate setting for "photo" quality. Make sure that all of the color options are neutral. Save.
Step Six: Back on the "Print" dialog select the correct ICC profile for your paper/printer. (Careful, DON'T use the calibrated monitor profile!) Adjust other settings as required. Save and name the preset.
Step Seven: Print and Pray. (And pray I haven't missed a step - sorry I'm not at my Mac. From your initial post, it sounds like you know how to do all of this.)
The results should be reasonably close. (That is why you should use the printer manufacturer's own paper and profiles as a starting point.)
If you are happy, great - get a beer. If not, try the following, making only one change at a time:
== Turn Soft Proofing on using the profile of the paper/printer. (Don't select the profile for your monitor, or any other.) Do the screen and print match now? If so, then you know to do your adjusting with soft proofing on. Remember, soft proofing is not exact - it is merely an attempt to make your screen look like the combination of paper and printer.
== If Soft Proofing makes your monitor look LESS like the print, then don't don't use Soft Proofing.
== If the results are close, you can make fine adjustments using the "Printer Settings" sub menu and saving presents. For example; I use a lot of CostCo paper in my Canon Pixma Pro9000. CostCo says that their paper mimics Canon's Photo Paper Pro, so I use the settings and profile for that paper, but I tweek the cyans and reds a bit in printer settings.
I have found that Red River profiles are a very good match for their papers.
Hope this helps. Good luck!
