Incorrect Color Profile

I've calibrated my monitor so that it's 2.2 Television Gamma but the setting doesn't seem to stay in place for very long on my Apple Display.
I have set up both the Macbook Pro and the Apple Display to the same calibration and given it the name "Gamma 2.2" but if I disconnect the Display for a while and then reconnect the colour on the Display has a yellowy hue to it.
This is sometimes the case on the MacBook as well but instead there is a Bluey hue.
I then have to go back into the Color Settings and create a new profile - very annoying after a while.
Any ideas?

I'm having exactly the same problem as well. Sometimes, after sleep, it has the correct Gamma 2.2. profile and sometimes it doesn't. As soon as I click on Displays, in the System Prefs, it changes back to what it should be namely Gamma 2.2.
Very frustrating.
I also have an external Apple Display connected and it also happens with this on random occasions!

Color profile and 2nd diplay

quite often, when I wake my PowerBook from sleep with an external screen attached, the PowerBook's display will show an incorrect color profile (I beleive it is taking the color profile of the external display).
When this happen, simply clicking "Display" in system preference will solve this without any further step.
This is annoying and it is still not solve in 10.5.4. I'm using the external display as the main display.
Is it just me or others are also experiencing this bug?

Let us know. It always hard to determined if the modification solve the problem since it isn't always showing up. There also a mention of video correction in the last security update... I must say that the problem haven't show up yet.
I just hope that this isn't related to the video chip recall...

Why is Bridge reporting color profiles incorrectly?

Why is Bridge seeing this image as an Adobe RGB when it is really Colormatch RGB?
I am using CS5 on Windows 7 64bit. I have purged the cache and did a full restart of the OS.
1.       The top dialog is Bridge and it is reporting the image as Adobe RGB (1998) in three places.
2.       Next, with Photoshop’s rgb color setting is set to Adobe RGB and I get an Embedded Profile Mismatch.
3.       I reset the color setting to Colormatch an opened the file without a mismatch. The status bar Document Profile confirms Colormatch
4.       In the convert to Profile dialog, the source profile is Colormatch. (Is this a reflection of the working space setting?)
5.       In file Info Raw Data Colormatch is reported.
6.       I then opened the image as a TXT file and found a tag for Colormatch. There is no reference in the TXT file or Raw Data to Adobe RGB (1998).
Why does Bridge report this image as Adobe RGB (1998) when the file seems to have no reference to Adobe RGB?

I am assuming that some remnant of a former state of these files is causing Bridge to report the color profile incorrectly.
I made a workaround to fix these files by creating a Droplet (With 'Save on Close' and 'Override Action "Save As" Commands.) to run an action with the following steps:
Convert color to Lab.
Convert color back to RGB. (Working space:Colormatch RGB)
Assign Profile to Colormatch RGB.
Save As. (With ICC Profile: Colormatch RGB checked.)
Close.
With Profile Mismatch Warning set to' Ask When Opening', the droplet stops on any images that are not Colormatch and resumes after making a selection.
This is correcting the files and they are now reading correctly in Bridge.

How do I embed a color profile in an untagged picture that is displayed incorrectly as sRGB?

I have a set of JPEGs that have been stripped of their color profiles (AdobeRGB). Lightroom assumes that they are sRGB images and displays them incorrectly. Is there any function in the program that will let me embed the correct (AdobeRGB) profile to the photos, preferably without re-compressing them?

It looks like the developer of ExifTools GUI is no longer supporting it:
http://u88.n24.queensu.ca/exiftool/forum/index.php?topic=5370.0
I tried using an older ExifTools Gui v3.38 with the latest ExifTools v9.47 windows installer download and it works fine. It also does NOT recompress the image data when using the 'Import ICC/ICM Profile' tools. So there's no need to create TIFFs to change the profile on your JPEGs without altering the image data. Try it!
I've uploaded a ZIP file, which contains a folder with everything you need. Download, unzip, and place the folder anywhere on your HDD. Copy and paste the shortcut 'ExifToolGUI 3.38 (ExifTools 9.47)' that's in the folder to your desktop. Nothing is installed – Exif GUI is a standalone app. If it doesn't open you may need to right-click on the shortcut and selct 'Run As Administrator.'

IPad2 color profile is dead-on-WRONG

OK, so im a professional photographer and im working a lot on my iPad. But is it true I need to discourage the iPad2 to all creatives because of the incorrect color scheming? In my profession it is VERY important that my photographs, when edited on iPad, are exported with satisfying color results. Sadly, all my edited photo's turn out very different then I made them on the iPad. Blue turns purple in the most worrying way! And sadly, it ****** me off. Because the color shifts are only noticeable on monitors, not just my monitor but EVERY monitor.
My Iphone4s suffers from the exact same color shifts. And that ****** me off even more. So now I have to suffer battery drains AND incorrect color results. This NEEDS to be fixed or else it will fail among photographers, designers, painters...
I added an image of a camera color picker. I picked the color on my iPad2 with my iPhone4S. You can see on my iPad it says the color blue is assigned to the RGB HEX '631BDD'. But in reality that HEX is purple (try it out on any rgb color picker)
WHY does the iPad2 AND the iPhone4s have totally messed up color profiles??? and WHY cant we add color profiles??
This so ****** me off, since I can discard all my artwork that I rendered on my iPad2...
PISSS

no lol, i love my ipad but it so very frustrates me that my artwork is being nailed over since i put so much time in editing and working on my ipad.
but seriously, there must be a fix to this??? This is a major issue!

IWeb 08 screws my photos color profile

Anyone has this problem with the new iWeb 08?
I installed the new version, ran it without any problems, did some rearranging of my site, created a new page etc.. And then published the whole site all over again.
But now, all my images are tagged with the sRGB profile instead of the profile that was in the images.. now all my images have become very saturated and dark. The thumbnails are fine, but when you click in to see the photos in slideshow or not, the images are loaded and it looks horrible.
I've went into my iDisk to check the images and found that all my photos are tagged with the sRGB profile instead of my normal AdobeRGB profile or Nikon sRGB profile or no profile...
ARGH!!!!

iWEB 08 is a fully color confused application, whilst iPhoto is only partly color confused.
The following applies when dragging images from iPhoto library, with the "Optimize Images on Import" option on. According to the manual, this option only changes the size, but I would not be surprised if it changes something else also. Then after, exporting from iWEB to files on the hard drive.
Having spent 8 hours analyzing the problem, I am beginning to understand what is happening but certainly not WHY???
iWEB appear to convert the images 2 times (when importing and when exporting I wonder), both times incorrectly, and to top it off, it exports images without a color profile BUT with the EXIF data of the original, which at this point is incorrect. HOWEVER, it appears that thumbnails are only converted incorrectly once, adding to the confusion.
Before going into some remedies let me answer the question: What color space etc. is "correct" for the WEB?
There are three rules to publishing photos on the WEB (files for download is a different story):
a) Image, including thumbnails should be in sRGB color space (Otherwise it will NOT display correctly on MicroSoft systems, where browsers happily ignores color profiles and sRGB is ASSUMED for all images)
b) There should be an sRGB color profile in the image file, including thumbnails (Otherwise it will NOT display correctly on MacOS, where browsers assume AppleRGB, but will happily adjust to any color profile)
c) Discard unnecessary information in the file to reduce size, such as EXIF information, thumbnails etc (optional rule)
Having said that, you may ask yourself, who do that? Well to tell the truth, not many. A quick check on Apples website reveals that there is a mix of color "strategies". For instance, the pictures demonstrating the cool features of iLife08, appear to be in sRGB but without color profile. Thus, they will be displayed correctly on a MicroSoft system but not on a Mac.
Well, back to iWEB - To try to fix the color problem, do one or both of the following:
1) Keep calling Apple Cupertino until they fix the problem (really, I am not joking, I am tired)
2) Convert images after they have been exported. This seems to work also, almost. However, converting a pictures color space is not exactly reversible, thus result is not perfect. Use for instance Photoshop CS1 or later (make sure color settings is such that there are no conversions when you open files and use the colorimetric conversion option in advanced settings) and:
a) Open picture
b) Assign AppleRGB profile
c) Convert to sRGB
d) Assign the original profile (usually sRGB or AdobeRGB or the cameras RGB)
e) Convert to sRGB
f) Save (with option: include color profile)
File is now about 2 times the original
g) Open graphics converter
h) Choose convert...
i) Choose file(s), hold Cmd-key and choose remove resources (which does not remove the color profile)
File is now ok for publishing on the WEB
TIP, if it seems like a daunting task to manually convert all of the exported images (and do not forget the thumbnails), make an Action-script in Photoshop, then use the Batch feature with sub-folders etc .... . Also the graphics converter operation can be applied to include subfolders. I did this, and it works ok, but be sure to only convert YOUR images, not the other files in the structure. I also applied the same conversion to the thumbnails to simpify things and it turned out not to bad. (Can somebody make an AppleScript maybe?)
And finally, how about iPhoto? Well, iPhoto will always export images in the color space and profile it happens to be imported with, unless you edit the image in some external editor. If you are WEB publishing "lucky", the image will come out in sRGB color space and with an sRGB color profile. And yes, I have also tried various iPhoto-WEB export plug-ins, and they also all do it wrong.
If you read all of this, you are a patient person. Thanks for the attention.

Display color profiles causing gamma shift in video playback

I recently got a new monitor - Dell U2713H - to use with my macbook pro. If I use anything other than the default color profiles the gamma will shift after about 7 seconds during video playback to something much cooler and dimmer. it stays that way until the video is paused and then reverts back to what it should be. This problem doesn't happen if I stick to the default display profile. Any ideas?

Mac OS X (10.6.8)
If your profile is correct, you should re-post in the Snow Leopard forums instead of Mountain Lion's.
If profile is incorrect, please correct so that you will get the proper troubleshooting solutions.

DNG files rendered with wrong color profile?

Does someone else also have a problem with DNG (digital negative) files showing incorrect colors when opened in Apple software (Preview, iPhoto, Aperture..)?
I have a Nikon D750 and currently consider using DNG as archive format for my RAW files.
But the converted DNG files are shown with a wrong color profile when opened via Apple's own camera raw framework...
It works in Adobe software - such as Lightroom - but any software using the OS X internal camera raw framework seems to use the wrong color profile when opening the DNG. Note that the original D750 NEF files are opened and rendered correctly.
I am using OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 with the latest Camera Raw Compatibility Update 6.02 installed.
On the Adobe side, it is Lightroom 5.7 and DNG Converter 8.7.1.
I tried all kinds of different conversion settings. It does not seem to make a difference whether I embed preview images in the DNG or not, whether I shoot in 12 or 14bit RAW, and whether I include the original RAW file into the DNG or not. I also tried to explicitly select the 'Camera Standard' color profile in Lightroom first and then export the DNG, but still on the OS X side the resulting image looks wrong as compared to the original NEF.
Any other Nikon user here who could verify my problems?

A few simple tests on your end may help you better understand:
1. Capture the same image (same camera settings in RAW and JPEG)
2. Open these images in Canon DPP - they will be a close match, this is because Canon DPP and the Canon camera itself use similar RAW processing algorithms
3. Open convert the CR2 to DNG, and open the CR2, DNG, and JPEG in Adobe Camera RAW - the CR2 and DNG should be a very close (if not identical) match if you use the same processing settings for each, since they are both being processed by ACR's algorithms; the JPEG will probably not match as it was processed with Canon's algorithms
What you are seeing is at the HEART of raw processing, and has nothing to do with color spaces or with DNG being at fault. The very nature of RAW processing means every processor (DPP, ACR, CaptureOne, etc) will produce different results by default - that's not to say that with some adjustments you can't match one processor's results to another, but it won't be the case by default.
The choice of RAW processor has FAR more an impact on your results than color space - in fact color space should have virtually no visual impact, though depending on the scene photographed you might have better gradations in some color spaces, better handling of highly saturated colors in some, but the overall look should remain close regardless of color space choice.
Further, as has been pointed out by others, raw files (which includes CR2 and DNG) do not have a color space - raw files are by definition raw image data which has yet to be processed into a color space. When you see color space assignments in RAW processors, that is relevant to the files you create FROM the raw files, not relevant to the raws themselves.
Before bringing inflammatory language and false assumptions to a forum with a high level of expert membership you might want to research the issue, and devise some simple tests (like above) to help you understand the issue first.

Photoshop Elements 12 (fresh install, on fresh installed Windowss 7 Ulitmate 64 OS) was printing incorrect colors, now is not printing at all. All other applications will print. I was having this problem before I restored my PC back to factory defaults.

Correct Color Profile for a 17" PB

It appears the monitor profile on my PowerBook is not representing the correct color saturation on graphic files I create. It is set to the default Color LCD under the Displays Preference Pane.
The problem first came to light after I submitted a post card design for my business to our online printer. We have processed many jobs through the same printer and haven't had any problems. Yet on this job, the design looked great on my PB but when I got the printed cards back they were way over saturated. This week I did another new design but this time I sent it to my designer to take a look at it first before I sent it off to the printer. And she said the same thing, the file was over saturated. So she corrected it on her calibrated monitor and I sent the file off for printing. I'm sure when I get the post cards back they will be fine.
But my question is, how can I adjust the saturation on my PB and do so correctly. The display looks good to me and the colors look right. I have tried the Color Sync calibration tool with no success. And I don't have the resource to buy a hardware calibration device. So my questions are...
Which Displays profile should I be using assuming the Color LCD is incorrect?
Does any one have a Color Profile that they've created on the same PB as mine that has proven to been calibrated correctly?
Any help I can get would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

there have been at least two versions of the pb 17" 1.67ghz, so to get another user's profile you'd need to say exactly which model you have, but age/setting variations mean it may still not be a good match
i use a hardware calibrator, but even with a custom profile there are still problems, mainly because the displayed image is very sensitive to viewing angle, so even if calibrated it is still easy to get things wrong when adjusting an image
you may be able to improve on the default 'color lcd' profile this way...
if you open the display preferences, click on the 'color' tab, and then click 'calibrate' you can create a custom profile 'by eye', you may find this gives better results, make sure you do this after the pb has been left for a few minutes at your usual brightness setting and in the same light conditions you usually work in
if your pb is the same model as mine i can give you a copy of one of my profiles for you to try

DNG editor color profile

I have created color profiles in the DNG Profile Editor, saved the recipe and exported the recipe to
C:\Documents and Settings\Dan\ApplicationData\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles
When I go to the calibration tab in Lightroom, these profiles do not show.
Using Windows XP.
Thanks for any suggestions as to what I am doing incorrectly.
Dan

Dan,
It should work, it does for me.
Are the cameras supported by LR? You say there is a separate profile for each and I guess you mean these are existing in LR. If I am correct then it should work and I am out of ideas.
Just thought of one other thing. You could try putting your new profile into the existing file folder for your camera type. You should find the folder here:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles\Camera

MacBook Pro A1278 Color Profiles

Hello everyone,
Today I was exploring my OS X and I accidentally changed the color profile and calibrated incorrectly. Can anyone tell me which is the default color profile of MacBook Pro A1278? Please!
Cheers,

Hi Andy,
Thank you! It was now default, thanks!

Some pictures show up with incorrect colors

some pictures show up with incorrect colors(eg. a person with green skin), and on Yahoo mail, the background which is supposed to be blue shows up as pink, as does the place where a user avatar would be.

This can be caused by a problem with the color profile for your display monitor or color profiles embedded in images.<br />
You can disable color management to test that.<br />
You can set the pref gfx.color_management.mode to 0 on the about:config page to disable Color Management.<br />
You need to close and restart Firefox or maybe even reboot the computer to make the change effective.<br />

Assigning Color Profile to source clip

I'm looking for a way to assign a color profile for a source clip which was rendered in AE as Rec 709 16-235. The rendered file appears as 7.5 IRE to 100 IRE and but I'd like to interpret it and be able to 'tell' Pr I want to treat it as 0-109 IRE. Is this there a way/does Pr support mapping black/white points / overbrights in this way? I can't find any relevant links or documentation on this, nor any way to do this, so I think not. Maybe there's a interpretation rules file somewhere? I'm accustomed to Avid's ability to import as either RGB or Rec 601/709 and subsequently output overbrights, so I'm looking to replicate that functionality for a particular deliverable we're regularly required to deliver. Thanks in advance!

We are having this problem as well. About 5% of the time, Color will choose to render the entire source clip instead of the clip used in the sequence.
Sometimes it shows the incorrect clip in the sequence and we're tipped off ahead of time that there's a problem. Sometimes it doesn't start until we look up and see that rendering is taking 45 mins for a clip.
We checked and we do not have anything on the motion tab for any of the clips which have been problematic.
Our workaround has been to create a new sequence and pop the messed up clip onto it and take it through Color again. Usually it works on the 1st or second try. We then pop it back into the original sequence in FCP.
For reference, we shot at 24PA using DVX 100 A's. We capture as much as we can at a time (with a Sony DSR-11), which varies depending on the tape - rarely does it come over in one piece.
We have experienced some sort of clip issues on occasion within FCP as well, and we wonder if the issues are related.
When upgrading from FCP 5.0-6 it destroyed a 23-minute documentary film by doing the following: a good percentage of the clips looked fine when playing in Canvas. When we would scrub it though (running the selector back and forth on the timeline), it displayed a different seletion from the source footage of the clip. Exporting the sequence would give us the wrong footage for the clip. It trippled the time to edit the film since we often couldn't see the real clip in the Canvas and thus had to work around this issue.
We continue to have this problem on a small % of clips, and were wondering if this may be related to the confusion that Color has. Currently we have to do 2-3 round trips in to color to account for all of the clips that come back messed up.
In addition to the wrong footage, we are often experiencing clips coming back 1-2 frames shorter or longer than they were going into Color.
It's been kind of a nightmare...

Factory Color Profile Missing - wha?

Just turned on my iMac (G4 Flat Panel) and the color looked wrong. I've read all of the posts about the color washes that people are having but this isn't like that - it's like the monitor has been calibrated incorrectly.
I tried to put the calibration back to the iMac default but it's no longer there - so then I decided to do a full calibration and got the message that "The Factory Color profile is missing".
I'm guessing this is going to be a re-install of Tiger - but can anyone shed some light on the problem and let me know
a. How did it happen?
b. Will it happen again?
c. Can I just get the color profile from the Tiger DVD using something like pacifier (I think that's the right thing)
and
d. Is this cause enough to pursuade my girlfriend that we need to upgrade to a G5 iMac?
Seriously any help appreciated.
Thanks
Ryan
