This is the Photoshop Color Profile bug in action. Here's a solution developed with Apple by Stuart Chapman.
1. Shutdown any running apps (esp iPhoto/Elements).
2. Locate the 'Embed Chosen Profile' AppleScript in your Library\Scripts\ColorSync folder on your Mac OS X start-up disk.
3. Make an alias of the above script (⌘L) and then move the alias to your desktop or other convenient location.
4. Make a backup copy of your iPhoto Library Folder (I just used Copy 'n' Paste from the Finder).
5. Locate the problematic photos from within your iPhoto Library's sub-folders and drag them (a folder at a time if necessary) to the 'Embed Chosen Profile' script alias on your desktop.
6. The Script should run and ask you to select a ColorSync Profile. Navigate to System\Library\ColorSync\Profiles and select the 'sRGB Profile' (this is the profile recommended by Apple).
7. The script will then embed the selected sRGB ColorSync profile into each image that was contained in the folder that you dragged onto the script icon at step 5.
You will have to run the 'Embed Chosen Profile' script against photos stored in both your Originals and Modified folders within your iPhoto Library Folder. You do not need to run the script against the photos in your Data folder (because the Data folder only contains thumbnail images).
The process wasn't too bad for me because I only have 1000 or so photos. It took about 30 minutes. Unfortunately the script doesn't process folders that contain sub-folders (which is pretty much how iPhoto organises your iPhoto Library). So you have to select the 'actual' parent folder that contains the images that you want to fix.
Once all of your images are fixed, you can restart iPhoto and see if it has resolved the problem.
If, like me, you've experienced numerous iPhoto crashes due to this issue, it's probably worth rebuilding your iPhoto Library, just in case any of the crashes have caused the library database files to become corrupted. To do this, shutdown iPhoto and then restart it again whilst holding down the CMD (⌘) and OPT (⌥) keys. Then select the option to Rebuild the iPhoto Library.
