Major Bug in CS's color profiles, color management & working spaces

Hi everyone:
First of all, thanks so much for taking the time to read and answer my questions!!! I am having a having a major bug in CS3's creative suite. The problem is the following:
1. My settings are not sticking in Photoshop. Last night I selected Adobe RGB as my working space and this morning I woke up with it being Apple RGB.
2. Bridge. When I select one of the thumbnails of my edited files I see the colors and levels changing before my very eyes. My theory is that profiles are being assigned to the images as I select them.
3. Photoshop. Photoshop is assigning embedded profiles (of whatever working space is selected) into my files. I have the color management system on off so this should not be happening.
The only solutions that I came up with were to either uninstall and reinstall creative suite or upgrade to CS4. Does anyone have any other suggestions out there? I would greatly appreciate them.
All my best,
s_ke

Ok open Edit > Color Settings. Where it says "color management policies" make sure that all these are set to "preserve"
• You seem to be saying that photoshop is automatically converting images, without opening them? - this is impossible
• Document profiles are readable at the bottom of the image window and choosing 'document profile'
If something strange is happening reset your Preferences, you will not need to reinstall
It may also be that your issue is to do with monitor profiles, or something similar but its impossible to tell from your description

Save to Web Color Shift with sRGB Working Space

I'm having a problem a lot of other people have, which is the color shift when saving to web or viewing my work in a web browser.
The solutions I've found in the past have been to simply make sure my working color space in Photoshop is sRGB and that my files are being built with that profile as well. I'm under the impression that sRGB is essentially the same color space as is used in a web browser, and therefore my work should look identical in both Photoshop and a web browser.
So why am I still getting a color shift? Everything in a browser appears darker and with more contrast, as though the colors have been pumped up a bit.
My monitor color has been calibrated with a Spyder 3 Pro and I'm using the profile it created for me as my OS X color profile. Thinking the shift may be related to my monitor profile, I tried switching to other profiles, but I still get a color shift in every single one.
Any ideas? Thanks!

sRGB based on capabilities and trends of development (circa late 1990s) for commodities CRT computers displays. sRGB per se has nothing to do with web browsers. The reason it has become associated with the web is the assumption that most web users are looking at content using a commodities CRT monitor using Microsoft Windows.
It should be obvious that the use of a standard of some kind for display is better than none if there is to be any trend towards predictability of image display. Today, in commodities computing, that standard is sRGB: neutral color where R=B=G, and a gray ramp and primaries typical of the electron gun and phosphors used in CRT displays perfected for use in color television. It just so happens that this coding is rather will suited to get good value out of a minimum numbers of bits for color representation (e.g, 8 bits per channel 24 bit color)
Web browsers in and of themselves don't have a color space. A few, such as Mac Safari, use the ICC color management capabilities of the system, and these display compensated color just like Photoshop does: if the image is tagged with an ICC profile, compensation will be applied in the browser window. But for the vast majority of computers and users, browser color is monitor color, and it's easier and most reliable for designers to just assume sRGB because it's the space that's the best approximation of the internet at large.
You work usually will not look identical in Photoshop and a web browser (assuming that the browser does not or cannot do color management) because Photoshop is always soft proofing the working space onto the display. It is this quality that leads you to see parity between photoshop and the web browser when you choose you monitor profile as the working space: the soft proof produces no compensation.
But while this fixes up your local experience it is -not- the solution because this projects your monitor characteristics into the image when you share it. For example, if your monitor has a lumpy non-linear tonal response and you correct image shadows or saturation for a certain look the image data will code your monitor response as well as your intentions for the image appearance. Others will see the combination of your correction for your monitor response mapped over their monitor response, in fact they will see an inversion of your monitor's response coded in the image, and to whatever extent your monitor deviates from the norm is the extent which at the very least others displays of the images you correct will deviate from your intentioned look.
The answer to your problem--and this may surprise you--is to tolerate and appreciate the difference in display between photoshop's rendition of color and your browsers. Photoshop is showing your image more truly--within certain significant local limits--in terms of your working space than your web browser. By choosing an appropriate working space, and for the web it should be sRGB, and by profiling your monitor as you have, you are ensuring your images are normalized to current standards for web presentation. Others may still see crap, but it's most likely their problem and if they don't want to do anything about it that's their problem, not yours.
There are a wide variety of reasons why a properly calibrated monitor will not match a working space which the soft proof cannot overcome. A monitor gamut larger than sRGB is not one of them. Photoshop will properly display sRGB data if the display profile properly characterizes the larger gamut display. This leads to questions about the effects of monitor quality on workflow. Maybe the most important of these is "How do I know my Spyder has properly calibrated my display!!!" But this is a topic for a whole 'nother thread.
Where I run into trouble is when trying to make visual color comparisons during web design between my photoshop website mockup and a published site. I get confused and try to make color picker style matches by eye rather than by the numbers because I forget my web browser is not color managed. Sometimes I forget how all the parts play together and get confused and disoriented, then I make compounding mistakes. Then I start blaming my tools. Pity me.

How do I change the color of the background (working) space in Adobe Elements 11 from that awful olive green color to light gray or black or white?

How do I change the color of the background (working) space in Adobe Elements 11 from that awful olive green color to light gray or black or white?

Thanks so much for responding! I tried right clicking on the space around the image and nothing happens. No drop down menu appears for me to select a different color! Appreciate your help . . . Diane

White is still Yellow in all Adobe programs - Changing color profile did not work!

I followed some other threads, and their advice was to change the color profiles. I did that, I am running on windows 8.1 and in photoshop, indesign and illustrator my whites are still yellow.

Have you got the correct colour profile installed for your hardware? or even try turning colour management off to see if that fixes the problem

Possibility to assign a color profile in the color management tab for more video formats

Presently, in After Effects CS5, in the color management tab of the "Interpret Footage" dialog box the possibility to assign a color profile to footage is grayed out for many video formats.
Formats that allow to assign a color profile include Quicktime/JPEG2000, Quicktime/Motion JPEG A, Quicktime/Motion JPEG B, Quicktime/MPEG-4, Quicktime/Animation as well as various image sequences, like tiff-sequences. (Motion JPEG A,B and Quicktime/MPEG-4 are not very helpful in this context because they have a small color shift when reimported to After Effects.)
Formats that do not allow to assign a color profile include Quicktime/PhotoJPEG, Quicktime/H264, H264 main concept, DVCPRO HD 1080p30, F4V. (Here, H264 main concept has anyway the disadvantage that it has a color shift when reimported into After Effects.)
In After Effects CS4 it was possible to assign a color profile to Quicktime/H264, Quicktime/PhotoJPEG, DVCPRO HD 1080p30, but in CS5 this is no longer possible.
Those video formats that do not allow to assign a color profile automatically are interpreted as having the color profile HDTV (Rec. 709) Y'CbCr in case that the videos have 1920x1080 format; similar applies to PAL formats which get SDTV (Rec. 709) Y'CbCr color profile.
(I did not find anything of this automatic assignment to HDTV or SDTV color profile in the "interpretation rules.txt" file, therefore it must be written into the programme itself.)
With growing popularity of wide gamut monitors it becomes necessary to produce footage and other videos that have a color profile different from HDTV or sRGB. When such footage is reimported to After Effects it has the wrong color and the only workarounds are either to use (in After Effects) the effect "Color profile converter" which necessitates extra render time or to use somewhat unpopular formats, like JPEG2000 that has very large filesize.
Presently many footage is produced in Quicktime/PhotoJPEG and therefore it would be very desirable to allow to assign a color profile to such footage in the color management tab of the "Interpret Footage" dialog box.
Does anyone know why in AE CS5 the video formats Quicktime/PhotoJPEG and Quicktime/H264 do not allow to have an arbitrary color profile assigned (although it was possible in CS4), is it a bug, or does it have a deeper reason.
In this context I have a related question, often I read that Quicktime videos have a gamma tag. Does this mean that part of the color profile (the gamma value) is actually embedded/remembered, like you have it for images where the gamma is part the embedded color profile.
I use AE CS5 on Mac Pro 2009 with OS 10.6.7.
Thanks,
Volker

Thank you Rick for this interesting explanations and the links to articles.
In the past few days I performed a few tests in After Effects and it is interesting that you mention that cameras, like the Sony EX3, allow videos to have embedded color profiles. I am not working myself with cameras but either get footage from the internet or sometimes videos from our video department which produces videos with professional SONY cameras, usually I get them in a matrox mxf format.
As far as my test with After Effects show it is not possible to embed color profiles in the videos rendered with After Effects. Independent of the color profile in the working space and independent from the color profile in the output module I always get the same reaction if I reimport videos rendered by After Effects back to After Effects:
In AE CS5 videos made in the formats Quicktime/PhotoJPEG, Quicktime/H264, H264 main concept, DVCPRO HD 1080p30, F4V are always interpreted as color profile SDTV/HDTV (Rec. 709) Y'CbCr (even if I made them in other color profiles, such as Adobe RGB, Photo RGB, sRGB); and there is no possibility to change this interpretation rule.
In contrast videos made in the formats Quicktime/JPEG2000, Quicktime/Motion JPEG A, Quicktime/Motion JPEG B, Quicktime/MPEG-4, Quicktime/Animation are always interpreted as sRGB (even if if I made them in other color profiles, such as Adobe RGB, Photo RGB, HDTV); only this time I can change the interpretation rule. Therefore if I know for example that if I had selected Photo RGB in the Output module I can change after the reimport the interpretation rule from sRGB to Photo RGB and only then I get again the original colors.
The only exceptions are picture sequences, such as tiff-sequences, where the original color profile is automatically selected in the interpretation of the footage.
Therefore, unfortunately for videos produced by After Effects your advice "If it says something like sRGB and you can change it, in most cases you shouldn't change it because the guess is probably right. If there is no color profile assigned then you should assume that is correct." is not so easy to be applied. You have to know how you did it originally in the Output module and hope that you can change it to the proper color profile, in case that the original color profile in the Output module was different from sRGB and HDTV/SDTV. But it is interesting to hear from you that with cameras there seem to be more possibilities.
For this reason it would be nice if in future versions of After Effects one could change the color profile in the the color management tab of the "Interpret Footage" dialog box also for formats such as Quicktime/PhotoJPEG, Quicktime/H264, H264 main concept, DVCPRO HD 1080p30, F4V.
Of course one can always circumvent shortcomings by using tiff-sequences, QT/jpeg2000, or QT/Animation as formats for storing, which is anyway better for lossless or nearly lossless storing, but the files are then too large and also cannot be played easily with a player.

Confused about color profile support in PNG

NOTE -- you have to hover over the image to see the real images. The images embedded in the webpage have their profiles stripped -- just like photoshop does! Interesting.
I ask a similar question on this before, but couldn't give a satisfactory demonstration of how photoshop doesn't support color profiles in png's.
But now I have a great one.
Picture A: this is with the correct color profile and displays correctly in firefox and probably other browsers -- also displays correctly on windows desktop and in large-icon view.
Ok, anyone who doesn't believe me, grab that image and try to read it into photoshop...
I do, and get no warning on profile mismatch like I do on jpg's or tiff's:
photoshop strips the existing profile and adds sRGB which isn't the correct profile.
This is how photoshop transforms good colors into bad:
Completly screwed up.
I have had multiple people notice how my png saved images from photoshop had "off" or bad colors -- usually washed out in comparison w/my monitor profile.
I can get 'ok' results if I flatten the image and *convert* my existing profile to sRGB -- and I usually get
something that looks 'acceptable'...though the jpg's render in accurate color.
Basically, photoshop can't read or write png web images. and maintain color fidelity unless they have no profile. Even if they have an sRGB profile, I usually get washed out looking pics if I don't strip it but let adobe convert it.
In googling for my own problem, I found references to this problem in Adobe Photoshop going back to 2002.
Why does adobe refuse to fix this? It's horrible.
They could fix it with a file plugin for existing CS5-6 users, but it really needs to get fixed and Adobe needs to stop ignoring this problem.
:-( I find this extra depressing because I prefer to distribute my pictures losslessly in png, but with photoshop, I'm left with lossy jpegs to get accurate color reproduction.

How did the SFW thing even come up?? When I embed profiles in jpg and tiff, I do it as part of the File Save or File Save As dialog. I can choose what profile to save it with -- and I usually save it with my currently calibrated monitor profile -- as that color profile is what was used to create the picture. Why would I want to convert them to some other profile?? Only thing I have needed to convert have been PNG's because it doesn't embed my monitor profile in the PNG the same way jpg and tiff do.
If it did, png's would look the same as jpgs and tiffs... but the jpgs and tiffs have the full depth of color and look the same as they do in PS. png's look washed out because -- it's been my belief that PS is not storing my profile in the png, but setting a bit in the file to use the sRGB profile.
AFAIK, PNG provided for a sRGB profile-compat bit -- so images that were compat w/that profile could just set a bit rather than including a profile. I see no evidence that PS is saving my monitor profile with the PNG.
My 'settings' for RGB are to convert to working RGB profile which is my monitor profile.
I do have it set to ask me abou profile mismatches on opening or pasting.
Since I don't get a 'this document has a different color profile than the working space'
message when I edit most png's, I assume it has none. Thus from my settings
it should autoconvert it to my monitor profile and save that on save -- which seems to be what happens when I save as jpg or tiff (or I can check off the box to save profile...but I usually don't).

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.

Do images imported to Keynote retain their previous color profile? In other words, if the Keynote presentation will be shown using an sRGB profile projector, should the images be converted to sRGB prior to importing?

Do images imported to Keynote retain their previous color profile? In other words, if the Keynote presentation will be shown using an sRGB profile projector, should the images be converted to sRGB prior to importing or can they be batch adjusted in Keynote?

While I feel your comment doesn't directly address my question, why I am worrying is this.
This presentation is to a camera club. Color is important. Images shown in meetings are projected by an sRGB color profile projector. Most serious photographers us a color profile with a bigger space than sRGB (typically RGB1998). If you project an RGB1998 image on an sRGB projector the colors go to crap. More precisely they become dull and lifeless. Thus, I am trying to determine whether I need to convert the images I plan to put into my Keynote to sRGB and boost the saturation PRIOR to importing them or whether Keynote has a way to do this as part of the software.

Monitor color profile when switching between LR and PS

I have a calibrated profile in use with PS.PS and LR are set to Adobe RGB color space but I use the calibrated profile. When I export an image from LR to PS it shows the mismatch dialogue box: Embedded Adobe RGB 1998, Working: Monitor calibrated profile.
should I use the 1)embedded profile instead of working space, 2)convert to working space or 3)discard embedded profile? I will obviously reimport to LR when finished in PS.

>it shows the mismatch dialogue box: Embedded Adobe RGB 1998, Working: Monitor3-7-08.
Ow, this means you have Photoshop set up incorrectly. Go to Edit->Color settings and make sure that the top-profile (RGB) says adobeRGB. You should never have a monitor profile there except if you're a web designer.
>DYP, you can change LR colour space to other than ProPhoto as default.
No you cannot. You can only change the default profile Lightroom uses to send to Photoshop. Lightroom ALWAYS uses a prophotoRGB-like working space internally for every picture.
>I set it to Adobe RGB to sync with camera and PS.
If you shoot RAW, the in-camera setting does not matter and Lightroom will render as wide as prophotoRGB.
>Would changing to ProPhoto colour space not cancel my calibrated monitor profile? Or am I misunderstanding the principles behind monitor calibration?
No, they have nothing to do with each other. Color managed apps automatically translate between their working space and the monitor profile. This capability is the basic meaning of being color managed. They get the information about the monitor profile from the OS. You never have to tell them about it. Photoshop just knows it. You do not have to set it up anywhere.

Soft-Proofing with .icc color profiles

Hello!
I'm currently working on a book in InDesign. I've calibrated my monitor with X-rite, and have installed an .icc profile from my outside printer (Blurb Books). Of course when I use it to soft-proof, I see a change on my monitor, so if I dion't like what I see (how it will print), I would have to go back to my working space and make changes, etc and keep rechecking. This seems so weird to me yet nowhere in all the forums and internet have I run across an answer to my question:
Why not just work entirely in this .icc profile so one doesn't have to go back and forth? You'd see immediately what you're going to get, even though it may not look as pretty on the monitor set in another color space?
It seems so obvious to me that I know I must be missing something here (as I usually do the obvious), as no-one has addressed it that I can find, anywhere, even Blurb support. They don't even understand what I'm asking!
thanks!

In fact, that is one perfectly valid method of working, and I would not have a problem at all using that profile as the working space in ID (I have a number of printer supplied profiles that I rotate, depending onthe destination of the job). But there's a downside to working on images in a device-specific output space. It limits your ability to use the same image in multiple output scenarios, and many (most) output profiles have a smaller gamut (sometimes significantly smaller) than a device-independent RGB space like Adobe RGB, so you lose some colors. That's going to happen no matter what when you convert for output, but if you do your editing and save in the output space, those losses are permanent, even if you later want to ooutput on a different device with larger gamut capability. Profile-to-profile conversion never adds new colors.

Iphoto 9.5 not supporting color profiles supported in '11

JPG Photos in iphoto 11 from Scancafe.com with color profile OS14000_A2_B8_oG that worked with iphoto '11, now not working with iphoto 9.5 and now unable to re-import.
First some background. I was using iphoto 11 and had no problem importing the scancafe jpg photos (color photos) from the DVD's. Everything was fine until I upgraded my mac mini to mavericks and upgraded iphoto 11 to 9.5. It seems iphoto 9.5 does not support the color profile of the jpgs that were scanned by scancafe. That color profile is OS14000_A2_B8_oG. I noticed that after upgrade of iphoto, that jpgs with this color profile are no longer seen at full size (they are visible as preview in iphoto, they are also visible in the mac program Preview, they also seem to work in aperture). But, when I try to view as full size in iphoto it is just black. Interstingly, the face detection from iphoto 11 still hovers, but now over black photo. The photo is still in the Masters area of the iphoto library, iphoto is just unable to view as full size.
When I tried to import the photo again, iphoto says the jpgs are unreadable. So, after hours of frustration, I realized iphoto doesn't seem to be supporting the color profile: OS14000_A2_B8_oG. When I used Adobe Lightroom 5 (Imported all first) to export as jpg (batch export) and removed the color profile (it then defaults to sRGB), the pictures were able to be imported into iphoto and were visible at full size.
To make a long story short, it seems that apple didn't provide support for this color profile with iphoto 9.5. Which is interesting, because they used to support it in iphoto 11.
Any ideas how I can save the work I have done on these photos: descriptions, face recognition, etc. without having to reimport jpgs with new color profile?
It would seem simple for apple to support the color profile and continue to do so. This foreshadows the slow removal of support for older file format and color profiles as software is upgraded. Will the photos in our iphoto library be visible in 10 years without conversions and reimporting? This is a concerning precedent.

Not what but who. That would be me. Keith is referring to this Applescrip: Embed sRGB Profile-Applescript, that you can download from Toad's Cellar. However, I've found it doesn't work on all files and have created an Automator workflow that is more reliable: Convert to JPG and Embed sRGB profile.
Both are on Toad's Cellar and you can try both. They will have to be applied to the image files outside of iPhoto before importing into iPhoto.
Happy Holidays

Color Profile Settings

Hi Everyone,
I am a graphic designer and do a mix of web / print work. I am ashamed to say it but i've never really messed around with color profiles as i've always been afraid to mess things up, so i always kept everything on default settings in photoshop.
I recently bought a new monitor, a Samsung S24SA850. Out of the box I could tell the colors were off right away. I do not own a monitor calibration tool so I tried setting the adjustments on the monitor as best as I could but I was sort of disapointed still. After posting in some forums asking for help someone else who had the same monitor was kind enough to provide me with their color profile which was obtained using a professional calibration tool. After applying this profile in windows 7's "Color Management" application I finaly was satisfied with the colors on my screen.
After a while I realized that when doing work in photoshop and looking at the results in my web browser, the colors were not exactly the same... I opened the "Color Settings" panel in photoshop and saw that I was using the "North America General Purpose 2" setting which I assume is the default, with the RGB working space set to "sRGB IEC61966-2.1" , when I clicked on the drop down to show what the other RGB option were I could see my monitor's custom color profile there so i selected it and saw that the colors in my document changed and it actually reflects the colors that I see in windows or my browser.
I wonder if doing this change can be bad in some way though ? I notice that the setting changed from "North America General Purpose 2" to "Custom" and that because i selected my monitor's custom profile in the working space RGB drop down that now in the "Color Management Policies" options the RGB drop down was set to "OFF" instead of "Preserve Embedded Profiles" which was previously selected before, and I cannot select that option anymore because it is greyed out.
Also when creating a new document in photoshop i notice there is an "advanced" zone, where I can choose a color profile, right now I set it to "dont color manage this document" but am again wondering if this is a mistake...
Basically, I'd really appreciate if anyone could tell me exactly what needs to be changed or if i should change anything at all ? should I go back to the default North America General Purpose 2 settings even though the colors dont look exactly the same as when i view the artwork in other programs/windows/browser ?
Thanks,

Wait, you mean that i shouldnt use the monitor's custom color profile EVEN in window's "color management" application ?
Well, in your case you should, because you got the profile from somewhere else. But a calibrator will do it automatically - and from that point you don't touch it. Especially not in PS color settings.
If the profile works, by all means use it. But a calibrator may not be as expensive as you think, and will get you a better result. Windows just assigns sRGB by default.
then I can take screenshots and paste them and the color always remain the same
Screenshots is actually one of those special cases I mentioned above. To get it to match, first assign the monitor profile and then convert to sRGB.
The basic principle here is that if the document profile is the same as the monitor profile, color management is disabled because no conversion happens and the document RGB values are sent unchanged to the display. Then everything will match - but it won't be right. With a good monitor profile you can trust Photoshop.

Selected color profile for new images from "clipboard" is wrong in CS6

I have given up trying to find the answer to this myself.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Take a screenshot of something in your web browser (macintosh CMD+SHIFT+4) to the clipboard.
2. Select File > New from the menu. Clipboard should be the selected Preset.
3. Notice how in CS6 the color profile under "Advanced" is "Display" and NOT "sRGB" — in CS5 it is sRGB.
4. Paste from the clipboard into your new document and get the color profile mis-match warning if you are in CS6.
It is either not picking the color space of the clipboard properly like it will in CS5, or I am missing something somewhere.
Nothing I do in an attempt to fix this is working. I have sRGB set as my default profile in color settings, and nothing I do changes this setting for the "Clipboard" preset.
I am getting sick of forgetting to manually select "sRGB" every time, opening up a new document sized to my clipboard and then getting the color profle mismatch warning when I paste in the clipboard contents!
I take so many screenshots as I develop websites this is a CONSTANT problem as I am constantly creating new documents from the clipboard to check alignments, zoom in to get color samples, and many other reasons.
Message was edited by: DrunkCyclist

That helps a little. It explains why "Display" is selected when I create a new from the clipboard in PS.
The ColorSync profile from a screenshot opened in the Preview App shows up as "Color LCD" in the inspector.
So, I assume what is happening in PS is that the new document is being created in the working color space and my clipboard contents don't match that and therefore causes the warning?
I could see getting a warning if I create a new document from the clipboard in PS and it embeds the "Display" profile within it, and then I try and paste something which has an sRGB (or other) embedded profile, but I was assuming the new document from the clipboard contents would have the same color profile as the clipboard contents.
I just don't get why I get a warning when I create the new document and the very first thing I try and do is paste the clipboard contents into said document.
However, when I select "sRGB" from the dropdown list instead of "Display" in the PS dialogue box it does not give me the mismatch warning.
Although the warning does say my source and destination document are both using the "Display" profile but my working space is sRGB.
The more I think about it, I may have just checked the "Don't show again" box in CS5 if I ever had the same issues and therefore never dealt with that again!
I am going to go read as much as I can about the color profiles in PS. I used to deal with this a lot as a print designer but not so much anymore working in UI design. I only really look into these issues when I get weird color shifts on saved files and things of that nature.
Thanks for taking the time to explain some things!

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?

Monitor Color Profile Changes after FUS

My monitor color profile changes after fast switching users, and then I cannot change it back in the prefs for display-color. Attempting to choose (restore) my chosen calibrated color profile does not work.
The only solution is restarting. Loging out and back in does not fix it, only a restart.
What could be causing this?
