Isolated Bug: No playback with Lut/Curves Display Color Profiles

Hello Apple,
I have isolated a bug a healthy dose of frustration, and I bet this is an opencl thing.
Final cut does not work at all (crashes when you press play) if you use advanced display profiles such as the ones attached below.
http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/3610987/CurveMatrix.icc
http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/3610987/LutMatrix.icc
I would say that this is a pretty high priority error, I am not going to be color grading with the default profiles, I presume it would be the same for most.

I get the blue tint after my MBP wakes from screen saver, and I also have an external monitor attached. The blue tint only happens on the MBP screen, not the ext monitor. It only happens when I have the external monitor connected.
This may be a bit early to declare a fix for this issue, because I don't think I have permanently, but here's what worked for me today. In the Display Preferences, I had created a new Display Profile for the external monitor. I switched it back to the default profile (in my case Dell 2007FP), and activated the screen saver. When I stopped the screen saver, no blue tint on the MBP screen. Switched back to my custom Display Profile and repeated the process. No blue tint. Hmmm... Now I can't get the blue tint to come back after numerous attempts, when before I could reproduce it at will.
Give it a try and let us know if it works for you too.

How do I delete a display color profile?

How do I delete a display color profile? I created several over time when calibrating monitor with a Datacolor Spyder. I have not been able to delete any old profiles because the "Delete Profile" button is grayed out and not responding. I repaired permissions but that didn't help.

Shared Profiles are located in the following folder:
/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/Displays/
From the finder menu bar, Go... > Go to Folder > /Library/ColorSync/Profiles/Displays/

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?

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.

Display color profile bug when using the fast account switch from a guest account to an admin account (and vice versa)

Hey,
I'm sometimes using a guest account on my MBP (unibody late 2008 2,4 GHz Core2Duo, 4GB DDR3 running OSX 10.9.4 on an OCZ 128GB SSD) for a more distraction-free working space and I noticed right away a disturbing bug:
Using the fast account switch (upper right hand corner of the screen) in Mavericks from an admin account to log into a guest account (or vice versa) produces, after the fancy rotating cube animation, some strange distortion of the desktop background happens (lasting approx. 2 sec.). After that the color profile of the display is changed into an usable but ugly one, which is disturbing while working with pictures. When checking the color profile in the pref pane, the standard "display" profile is said to be active (it's the one I use) but still the colors aren't the same. Selecting another profile and re-selcting the desired one doesn't fix the problem. Switching back to the other account with the fast switching leaves the colors altered. Logging out and deleting the guest account seems to the problem for the remaining admin account. Rebooting and logging in to either of the accounts (admin or guest) from the standard account selecting page at booting shows the normal color profile.
Is it a general bug or is their anything a can do to prevent this problem (other than never using the fast switching)?
Thanks for your advice.

I cannot agree more with your comments! What a way to frustrate your customers!
I have been having an issue with iCloud on Mac where it kept asking me for my password and sometimes would, sometimes would not continue to access my iCloud mail. Today it just refused to connect to iCloud mail.
I looked in the Mail, Contacts and Calendars in my MacBook Pro settings and discovered that 2 iCloud accounts were present. One with my original Apple ID (a gmail address) and a second with my new iCloud email ( an @me.com address). Having deleted the second account, using the new @me.com address everything is working fine.
So from my viewpoint when I moved over to iCloud I was asked to sign in with my Apple ID (the gmail address) then to create an @me.com address. However, as far as I can see all sign ins to the new @me.com account on Macbook, iPhone and iPad need to be done through the old Apple ID (the gmail address). Is that confusing and just plain crazy???
Further, after creating the new @me.com address I soon found out that this is apparently now forever bound to my old Apple ID and cannot be changed. I mean why can't I delete the iCloud account and start anew with a different @me.com address??? Also, as everybody using iCloud must create an @me.com address why on earth can I not get rid of my old gmail address and have my entire Apple ID accessed through the new @me.com address? Creating a whole new Apple ID will not solve this as we are unable to transfer purchases between accounts.
Apple products are great IMHO, but they do seem to not think things through in a very big way sometimes......

Display Color Profile For iiyama HM903DT

I've just been given an iiyama HM903DT monitor but it doesn't want to play with my mac mini
The trouble is this:- If a turn on my mac with the screen powered on my machine creates a color profile for it (from monitor dcc information I suspect). That would be ok if the profile was correct but it's not. On some jpgs and tif files are massively over saturated (for example gingerbread man.tif) yet other jpegs and tifs are fine.
If I start up my mac without the screen turned on my mac defaults to "Display" for color and all is well.
I've check in Universal Access and 'Enhance Contrast' is set correctly, I've also tried using color-sync to no avail......
What can I do to stop this bug it's driving me nuts!!!
thingi

Me too. Snow leopard seems to ruin my 9CA3 screen because the color looks to be washed out.

How to verify display color profile being used by LR?

How can I check what is the color profile LR is currently assuming for display? E.g. with Photoshop CS I go to "Color Settings", and in Working Spaces, RGB, I look for "Monitor RGB". Any idea how to do it with LR?

Not a good choice for working space in PSCS, though. Okay if all you are doing is checking the lis for what the profile is. On a Mac you go to Display in System Prefs and it says.

Problems with Epson perfection 4490 color profiles using photoshop cs6

I have some items that I wanted to scan with Adobe RGB color profile, with my Epson perfection 4490 scanner. I am on a mac using mac os 10.7 lion.
I go into the configuration settings in Epson scan & set it to colorsync, & choose Adobe RGB, then I scan. I checked epsons website for current drivers, & I have current drivers.
when I open up my scanned images in photoshop CS5, & CS6, & go to convert to profile, (to check what profile the scanner used), it shows the color source space as sRGB. I go to the file save as, in photoshop, & it only shows sRGB as the color profile to save in.
what is happening? why wont my scanner use Adobe RGB? is there something in photoshop settings I need to adjust? I have never had this problem before.

try downloading the iPHOTO TUTORIAL TEST IMAGES a bit below this link
and dragging the tagged & untagged sets into your various web browsers, image browsers, applications...
the iPhoto download contains a low-resolution reference image in five colorspaces (10 .jpg files, five tagged and five untagged versions of the same image) in sRGB, WhackedRGB, AppleRGB, ProPhotoRGB, AdobeRGB

T410s Optimus: Crashing/Freezing/Bugs in association with Minidock+External Displays

Hi There.
Because my new Thinkpad T410s 2912WA6 (Optimus) and it's Bugs Features are quite time-consuming while i would need a reliable system to get things done, (that is why i spent over 1800 Euros on dock+thinkpad), i have to make it short.
1) optimus driver (nvidia/intel) crashing freezing bluescreening while docked and full hd displays over dvi attached, even still in 8.17.12.6802/8.15.10.
8.17.12.5738/8.15.10.2154 or whatever C:/SWTOOLS contains and what was installed on delivery works fine. plz fix.
2) want to see boot screen of my t410s optimus while docked on dvi display attached to dock. not possible for now. plz fix.
3) i guess docking station is designed to free some space on my desk --> dock + thinkpad far away from desk --> want to wake thinkpad up by pressing a key on my usb wireless keyboard attached to dock --> does not work --> pain in my back, pain in my mind.
plz fix.
okay...maybe too short, here some more detailed information:
1) Most annoying bug is the new always everything crashing nvidia optimus driver. As discussed in many other threads, there are rough problems with high DPC, freezes, blue screens. For me, i could identify nvlddmkm.sys as source of high DPC, while i had no time or not the knowledge to investigate on freezes or bluescreens.
In Fact: My T410s, bought in november 2010 was working fine, and i had no problems aswell as i started using a mini dock plus series 3 in combination with 2 Full HD 24'' Displays on the 2 DVI Ports on the Minidock.
In March 2011, Lenovo Update Software installed an update on the Graphics Driver (this may not mean the Driver Update was released at this date, i just ran the Update Software for the first time) was installed, the corresponding line in the Installation Protocol is:
"Thinkpad Video Features[NVIDIA NVS 3100M Optimus] for Windows 7 64bit | 8.17.12.5738/8.15.10.2202"
Interestingly i think the Nvidia driver version-nr didnt change, while the intel hd driver-nr was 8.15.10.2154 before.
From that day on, with increasing frequency, win7 started to freeze, in random situations but almost always while using it docked with 1 or 2 24" displays attached on DVI, nearly never when undocked. Aswell i just saw a black screen when switching youtube videos to full screen, same issue described by other users. The Flash-fullscreen issue was fixed after installing 8.17.12.6802, inoffically posted by Jamez in another thread. However, the freezing continued and i got a blue screen everytime i sent my T410s to Standby Mode while docked, no problem undocked.
After that, i luckily found out that under C:\SWTOOLS all drivers thet were installed on delivery can be found. I installed the "old" nvidia and intel hd drivers, since that, THANK THE LORD, no freezing anymore, everything works fine.
What i want to tell here: For me its ok to use these old drivers for the rest of my life and i dont have any motivation to give any grahpics driver update another chance, but i guess there are other users out there, struggling with this issues so you might better send them working drivers for optimus/nvidia systems.
2) an annoying fact aswell, and after searching google and this forum for "t410(s) optimus boot display" i dont believe that this is an individual error for me that can be resolved by recovery or similiar suicide attempts. Short and crisp: it is impossible to see the boot screen on my external Displays when Thinkpad is docked and Optimus is activated.
Of course, there is a BIOS setting, allowing me to select the Boot Display, and it proudly tells me i can selected "Digital 1/Digital 2" for the Dock-DVI Ports, but when selecting this Option, i only have the choice between VGA, Internal, and HDMI (Digital on Thinkpad). No Digital 1, no Digital 2. As others told me, Digital 1/2 can be selected as soon as you switch from "optimus" to "descrete". But guess what, i bought a optimus system so i want to use it. I hope this can be fixed by a new BIOS-Version or any other kind of update.
3) obviously, it is not possible to wake up a sleeping and docked t410s remotely, especially by wireless keyboard. First thing is, of course, i DONT want to attach the usb keyboard receiver directly to the thinkpad/yellow usb port. If i do so, i dont need a docking station anymore because i have this docking station for fast undocking without removing extra cables. Second interesting thing: Despite of my wish to have no cables directly attached to my thinkpad, i tried it on the yellow usb slot. my usb receiver was working (blinking) while thinkpad was in standby mode, but nevertheless, it didnt wake up on pressing keyboard/mouse. i have set the right settings in device manager.
So, excuse my bad english, im from germany so it is quite hard for me to write down all this in english. I would appreciate comments from other users, experiencing the same problems/bugs, aswell as what lenovo staff has to say about it. thanks for your attention.

ThinkMIke/Lenovo staff:
Did you ever solve the problem? I am experiencing something similar. Somewhat similar hardware setup: T410 w/ optimus + Minidock 3 + two external monitors (using DVI and VGA ports); laptop closed. Long ago, I "bit the bullet" and plugged wireless keyboard/mouse dongle into laptop USB port to enable waking from sleep via keybaord/mouse...painful, but used to suffice; would not work with dongle plugged into Minidock. More recently, I have been fighting Optimus bugs that cause my system to freeze every ten minutes or so. Recently tried switching off Optimus in BIOS. This eliminates the freezes, but now my system cannot be woken from sleep at all, and once "sleeping" eventually shuts down. (In fact, the system doesn't seem to really sleep...the fan seems to continue to run.) This problem now persists even if I turn Optimus back on in BIOS...I seem to have moved the system to a new and different unstable state. Any insights?
Thanks!

Display Color Profile Deletion

Folks,
Is there a way to delete display profiles?
After adjusting the gamma setting I've been experimenting with various combinations.
I would like to remove the ones that I do not prefer.

If the 'Delete Profile' button is dimmed when using the System Preferences/Displays pane (Color tab)...
Try this advice from OS X Help:
• Where are ColorSync profiles located?
To make it easy to share and organize ColorSync profiles, you can put them in several locations on your computer or network.
• These are the standard locations for profiles on your computer:
System profiles: System/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/
• These are the profiles used by the system. You should not attempt to modify or delete these profiles. You should not install your own profiles here.
Computer profiles: Library/ColorSync/Profiles/
This is the recommended place to install new profiles. These profiles are available to all users, and are available to be used by ColorSync Utility.
User Profiles: ~/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/
• These profiles are available only to the current user. The tilde (~) character indicates your home folder.
• Network profiles: /Network/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/
These profiles are available only if you’re connected to a network.
• Color Management Modules (CMMs) are located here:
/Library/ColorSync/CMMs/
To see the location of profiles:
Open ColorSync Utility, in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder.
Open ColorSync Utility - Click Profiles in the toolbar.
Click the black triangle in the upper-right corner of the profile list, and then choose “Group by location.”
• Some third-party devices or applications store profiles in a different location or as data within the application. For more information, visit the manufacturer’s website.

Problems with jpg export and color profiles

I browsed the forum but I didn't find any recent thread about the issue I'm experiencing right now, I wonder if it's common or it just affects me. Mavericks, Aperture 3.5, all up-to-date.
I imported a RAW file (I tried with both a Nikon and a Sony camera), made a few adjustements and then exported the picture as a jpg. It looked good in the Finder, in Photoshop, in Preview. When I uploaded the file to flickr, everything was ok.
Then, I browsed flickr via its iOS app and - surprise - the image is completely wrong: colors are washed out, desaturated, with an awful greenish dominance. I tried a few things and discovered soon that also opening the file on my Mac with GraphicConverter has the same ugly result. Same with the iOS version of Safari.
I use ProPhoto RGB as my default color space in Aperture. I changed to sRGB: same result. I changed to AbobeRGB and te output is finally consistent through all the platforms and apps.
Too bad I managed to do this only for one photo because, even if I changed the settings, every other photo I exported is still sticking with ProPhoto RGB. The problem is surely here because I solved it changing manually the color space to AdobeRGB with Pixelmator and re-saving the images one by one. But of course this cannot be a successful workflow...
Any experience about this?
Thank you!

OK, I can reply to myself. The issue has mysteriously gone away - no idea why. Edit: The issue is gone on Desktop, with GraphicConverter. From iOS, pictures still look weird.
About the exported default, my bad: I was using presets and they choose their own settings for color space. Still, no idea why the first one was exported in Adobe RGB instead of ProPhoto RGB (the default for "JPEG - fit within 2048x2048").

Leopard Login Screen has Seperate Display Color Profile

I have a very odd, yet seemingly simple, problem. I am the Admin on my Macbook Pro, and one day the Leopard Login screen started displaying in a completely different display profile (it has a purple hue). Once I log-in, the colors return to normal.
Is there a way to fix this? It's quite irritating!
Thank you!

Hey Aereo,
Did you ever get an answer to this? My MBP is doing the same thing, every now and then. When it does it, I go to System Preference, pick Displays and it immediately fixes the problem.
Any thoughts out there on what is causing this?
Thanks!

MacBook Black Display Color Profile missing

Hi there everyone!
I have a little problem here. Can't calibrate my color on my Macbook Black.
I attach some screens so u can check out the problem.
The colors of my computer, suddenly, switched to some weird ones. I didn't update, just plugged a secondary screen..
This is my screen color window:

This is when I click calibrate:

TRANSLATION: "Cannot calibrate the Screen - Original screen profile missing"
What can be done?
Thanks guys and great job!!!

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Pictures would help. A good way to do this is to post them to a free photo sharing site like Flickr and then post a link.
Also, you are in the original MBP section, and I think you need to post your question in the newer MBP section:

Good luck!

Display color changes when Photoshop opens

Hi there,
Since recently, whenever I open Photoshop CS6 (13.0.1) or Illustrator CS6 (16.1.0), the display color changes, i.e. as if the display color profile termporarily changes to a different one. Even if I switch to another app, the color change will remain until I quite Photoshop or Illustrator. Using Mac OS 10.8.2.
Does anyone anyone have an idea how to prevent this from happening?
Thanks!

The color shift happens when the computer changes the graphics card (from Intel HD to Nvidia or AMD). It's a problem of Mac OS X 10.8.x. I found a simple solution that worked (at least for me):
Turn off automatic graphics switching in System Preferences > Energy Saver
Reboot your computer
Turn automatic graphics switching on again (or leave it off, as you like ...)
It seems that the mac has to start up with the discreet graphics card turned on (Nvidia or AMD).

[bug?] playback issues with QT browser plugin, any workarounds?

I've noticed a playback issue with media files using the quicktime plugin (currently v7.1.3) with Firefox 1.5.0.x and now Firefox 2.0 on Windows XP (SP2):
Description:
When I open a media file in a separate tab or window, audio playback cuts out when I switch focus away from the tab or window (i.e. when it runs in the background). When I put the tab/window in the foreground again, playing resumes.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open an mp3 file with quicktime plugin in a new tab
2. Switch focus to some other tab or firefox window
Expected Results:
Audio playback should continue in the background.
Actual Results:
Audio playback cuts out and resumes once you click on the tab containing the plugin or if you hover over it with the cursor. The cutting and resuming out doesn't happen right away but after a short delay, suggesting that it might have something to do with thread prioritization.
The file is completely buffered by quicktime, this is not about connection speed or bandwidth issues.
Opening the link to the same file with right-click->Open Link in External Application works well.
Someone else has filed a bug report against Firefox about this issue here:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=339449
I wouldn't be surprised if this turns out not to be an issue with Gecko but with QuickTime.
Can other users confirm this on XP? Is this a known QuickTime bug? Are there fixes or workarounds?
Windows XP

Yeah I had that thought as well but no joy. It works for the player but it doesn't solve my plugin problem. It really seems to be something about prioritizing, the way the audio cuts in and out - notice how it takes a few fractions of a second before a process loses its CPU cycles when you click away from it? You can observe this with System Monitor on the Mac or Linux or process explorer on XP. That's how the audio is cutting out and back in. I still think it's probably a bug/'feature' either with Gecko, the Firefox browser engine, or with the QT plugin..
