MBP 17" not remembering ICC color profiles in XP with 23" ACD

I have a MacBook Pro 17" that I'm using in a dual-screen configuration (internal display and a 23" Cinema Display). I'm running Windows XP through Boot Camp, and I use a Gretag Eye-One calibrator to create color profiles for each display.
On my PC using an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro, I was able to calibrate both displays, and the software that came with the Eye-one set those profiles as defaults and it worked fine.
Now that I moved to a MacBook, I'm trying to do the same thing, but for some reason it picks the profile for one of the displays and sets both monitors to it, giving the internal display a horrible blue cast, or the external a horrible green cast until I go in using the new windows color control panel to manually set the profiles every time I boot.
One odd thing is that the computer detects each display twice, and they're all called 'plug and play monitor', so I usually have to play around to find the correct display and assign the right color profile to it.
Anyone else run into this problem and know how to fix it?

ICC Color Profile Not working bootcamp

Hi,
I have a photobooth and am trying to get my sub-dye printer up and running on windows 8 bootcamp but when i load the icc color profile for it it doesn't seem to make a difference. Just wondering if its something to do with drivers thats stopping this from working or if anyone has come across this before. I have re-added it, removed and re-added printer etc but it just doesn't make a difference.
Thanks

Ah-the driver is name is: mcpd-mac-pro9000ii-10_68_1-ea11.dmg
First thing I tried to do is delete and re-download new driver, but no luck.

How to make custom icc color profile work as default for all users?

Hi!
I've calibrated two monitors for the machine running Mavericks OS X. I've managed to move these custom icc color profiles to ColorSync folder in HDD Library, so that that they are available for all the users. However, I cannot figure out how to make these icc profiles work as default profiles for all users and not only the one I used to calibrate monitors.
Is there a specific place I have to put custom icc profile to make it system default?
Thank you!

If you put the profiles in the root /Library/ColorSync/Profiles/ folder, then each user needs to select them in their account. There isn't a way to apply them globally so each account automatically comes up that way.

Fujifilm Frontier ICC color profiles wont work on Mac

Downloaded the Fujifilm crystal archive ICC color profile for the Fuji Frontier minilab. This is for having my photo's printed through an online service that uses the Fuji Frontier and the crystal archive paper. I place the color profile that I downloaded in the System/Library/ Profile map as instructed. I also have my other color profiles in there. Then when I go to System Preferences/Color and want to select the profile I have just added it is not there. All my other color profiles are there but not the Fuji color profile. Anybody know why?
Help appreciated.
Thanks
Fred

What a dumbo I am.I did not realize that this is not a profile for monitors but for paper.

ICC color profile for Apple iPod (5th Gen)

Hello,
Does anyone know if an ICC color profile exists for a 5th Gen Apple iPod?
Thanks,
Jamie

The iPod does not use ICC profiles.
What are you trying to do?

Uninstall ICC color profiles

How do you uninstall ICC color profiles?
I can install ICC color profiles by right clicking on the profile and selecting "Install" but there seems to be no way to uninstall a profile.

John,
the dictionary Schöffler/Weiß, 1967, translates
'pendant' by several German words, including
Gegenstück, Seitenstück, Pendant.
So it's in fact a French word for 'Equivalent',
and here it's pronounced French.

Adobe Illustrator Export to JPEG (*.JPG) vs ICC Color Profiles vs Behance

Hi,
I work with Adobe Illustrator CC 2014. When I export my projects into *.JPG format (using both: 'Adobe Illustrator > File > Export' and 'Adobe Illustrator > File > Save for Web') I use ‘Embed ICC’ profile option. Every common image viewer I use (including web browsers and Adobe Bridge) respects those color settings and displays exactly what has been embedded. But when posting on Behance, my color settings are converted into something else! The only solution is to place my Adobe Illustrator file into a new Adobe Photoshop document , then export it into .JPG (with embedded color settings) and then post it to Behance. With this workaround my colors look pretty correct.
Did someone experience the same and could explain why Behance doesn’t respect the Adobe Illustrator export with embedded ICC profile settings?
one thing more – even if my *.JPG produced with Adobe Photoshop (the correct one) is displayed correctly, the cover photo (taken from the original) is still converted into different (Behance’s default??) color space. I believe this shouldn’t work this way. Is there any workaround to this? Is there any way my covers (miniatures) display the 'true' colors?
Please advise
Best Regards,

ok. I give up. It seems that Adobe Illustrator can export only to the JPEG File Interchange Format (JFIF) and Behence doesn’t fully support this format (for example it cannot read its icc color data correctly):
(JPEG) Formally, the EXIF and JFIF standards are incompatible. This is because both specify that their particular application segment (APP0 for JFIF, APP1 for Exif) must be the first in the image file. In practice, many programs and digital cameras produce files with both application segments included. This will not affect the image decoding for most decoders, but poorly designed JFIF or Exif parsers may not recognize the file properly (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JPEG_File_Interchange_Format#Exif_comparison)
I’ve analyzed my files using JPEGsnoop 1.6.1 (really cool app by Calvin Hass, http://www.impulseadventure.com/photo/) and here is what I’ve found:
A) *.jpg produced with Adobe Illustrator > File > Export > JPEG > ICC profile embedded:

Dir Length = 0x0007

[XResolution ] = 720000/10000

[DateTime ] = "2014:08:02 17:21:15"
[ExifOffset ] = @ 0x00A8
Offset to Next IFD = 0x000000D4
EXIF IFD1 @ Absolute 0x000000E0
Dir Length = 0x0006

Dir Length = 0x0003
[ColorSpace ] = sRGB
[ExifImageWidth ] = 200
[ExifImageHeight ] = 200
So unfortunately the only option to produce the EXIF JPEG from an Adobe Illustrator project is to: Export *.ai file to JPEG (under Adobe Illustrator) > go to Photoshop > Create new project > Paste the *.jpg > and Sava As JPEG with icc embedded.

ICC Color Profiles

Im trying to colorsync my macbook pro with my office designers macs.
They setup their color profiles...and then sent me the Color.ICC profile that was created.
I added this to my Macbook in Library > ColorSync > Profiles
I am able to select this in my display color settings (system prefs).
However the profile is not appearing in any of my application color settings (i.e. Photoshop and Illustrator).
any ideas on how to use this ICC profile for RGB application settings?

Adobe custom profiles are stored in
user /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Settings
not in colour sync

Preserving ICC Color Profile in image conversion.

Hi-
I'm quite lost on how to preserve a color profile using the JAI tools. I'm hoping somebody can help.
Basically, I have a TIF, which I read the image and it's metadata, and can dump everything out showing the non-standard embedded color profile. Then I want to save the image as a jpg with the same color profile information embedded, but it doesn't seem to be automatic, and I can't find the proper API.
I'm actually shooting for JPeg2000, but I'm using standard JPG for now, so that I can easily open the resulting image up in photoshop to see the embedded color profile.
My read code is something like this:
BufferedImage img = null;
IIOMetadata md = null;
ImageTypeSpecifier spec = null;
Iterator<ImageReader> readers = ImageIO.getImageReadersByFormatName("TIFF");
ImageReader reader = readers.next();
md = reader.getImageMetadata(0);
ImageInputStream iis = ImageIO.createImageInputStream(new File("foo.tif"));
reader.setInput(iis);
TIFFImageMetadata tmd = (TIFFImageMetadata)md;
TIFFField f = tmd.getTIFFField(BaselineTIFFTagSet.TAG_ICC_PROFILE);
ICC_Profile p = ICC_Profile.getInstance(f.getAsBytes());
ICC_ColorSpace cs = new ICC_ColorSpace(p);
spec = ImageTypeSpecifier.createInterleaved(cs, new int[] {0}, DataBuffer.TYPE_BYTE, false, false);
ImageReadParam rp = new TIFFImageReadParam();
rp.setDestinationType(spec);
img = reader.read(0, rp);
And my write code is something like this:
Iterator<ImageWriter> writers = ImageIO.getImageWritersByFormatName("JPG");
ImageWriter writer = writers.next();
ImageOutputStream ios = ImageIO.createImageOutputStream(new File("foo.jpg"));
writer.setOutput(ios);
ImageWriteParam wp = configWriteParam(writer);
wp.setDestinationType(spec);
writer.write(md, new IIOImage(img, null, md), wp);
Any ideas for me? I'm completely stumped.
Thanks!
-Eric.

It worked fine before but than one day (don't remember for sure when) it started not working. I think I probably updated my Photoshop at the same time so something may have changed there.

ICC Color Profile

I was trying to print a photo using my HP4380. I recevied an error message that the ICC was uninstalled, or something to that effect. What is an ICC profile, where can I get the profile and how do I install it.
Thanks

Hi
I am not sure that this should happen & it may be that somehow your driver got corrupted.
For your information - In color management, an ICC profile is a set of data that characterizes a color input or output device, or a color space, according to standards promulgated by the International Color Consortium (ICC). Profiles describe the color attributes of a particular device.
This is something that is built-in the driver I can't explain how it got uninstalled.
My suggestion would be to re-install the driver fro your operating system. Driver downloads for the HP4380 can be found at the following link:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=en&product=3221646&

Cover Flow, Quick Look and Finder icons ignore ICC color profiles

... and that really bothers me!
As a photographer, I tend to save photos with different color profiles embedded in them. Sometimes it's Adobe RGB, sometimes sRGB, sometimes Generic RGB (don't ask).
Aside from the apps that HAVE TO regard color profiles (Aperture, Photoshop etc), I was under the impression that color consistency is important throughout OS X. I am satisfied that Safari and Preview fully support color profiles, and that is why I am appalled that Cover Flow and Quick Look (my favorite feature in Leopard) do not! How do I know? It's in the plain eye sight.
Apple... FIX THIS, PLEASE!

Setting up ICC Color Profiles in Adobe Illustrator 8.0

Yeah I know it's embarrassing. 8.0.
I've looked around on the internet, I have found tutorials but they all involve fancy-pansy equipment that only a huge ad agency could afford, and there are no local color adjusting professionals in my area. The closest one would cost me as much as buying the equipment myself!
I'm using CMYK inkjet printing most of the time, I just do small projects like flyers, small promo pieces, and I have IC's out with a couple of larger graphics companies to provide support during their busy season, but I had to print a small run of 10 pieces on waterproof vinyl and that meant sending to a small local copy shop that uses Corel Draw. He's the one that told me my color profiles were not set, and had to ask me what color it was meant to be. Luckily it was all 1 color that time. I'm starting to see more work requests involving waterproof vinyl, so I need to get this set up.

Add a shortcut to the desired folder in the default folder. There is no setting of the default in Acrobat, though some day it may happen.

AE, ICC color profiles, QuickTime player and wide gamut displays

Hey there!
I was inspired by @AdobeAE 's recent tweet about color management to look further into the subject. We've historically not bothered with it, but are keen to enter the color managed world!
I started in Photoshop, doing tests with working spaces and destination spaces to get my head around how the whole thing works. One thing I quickly gathered was that our Monitors (Eizo S2243W) are wide gamut, which can create problems. For example, if you make an image in the sRGB space in PS, then save it out as a jpeg without embedding the profile, the colours become over-saturated, as any viewing application won't know how to translate the colors. Images created in the Adobe 1998 did not display the same shift when saved 'untagged' - I assume because the gamut of the monitor is closer to Adobe 1998, so even if no transformation occurs the colours are perceptually similar.
For still images all this is fine though, as you can always embed the profile so the viewing app knows how to translate the colours for your particular display.
The problem comes with video. It seems as though it is not possible to embed a color profile with, say, a ProRes QuickTime. If you create a comp in AE using the sRGB colour space, then export the movie you'll potentially have the same over saturated colour problem when viewing the resulting file on a wide gamut display.
So how is one supposed to overcome this, except for turning colour management off?
Any help greatly apprecaited!
Cheers, sCam

Not too many people will be watching your movie on a wide-gamut screen. You'd be better off working in an SRGB mode, if your monitor allows. Colour magement is a poisened chalice, wether you are working with still images or movies. The internet is not colour-managed and everything wide gamut will look oversaturated and garish.

Which color profile to work with

hi,
since recent i'm working with linux open source software for my DTP, which has been posing some problems, especially concerning my colors. This has nothing to do with Linux but with the fact that i don't know a lot about color management (though do find it interesting)
I have a hard time understanding (visualizing) the actual workflow of color management.
What i understand so far: When i import an image in my DTP software (Scribus), that image may have an embedded color profile (RGB) or may not. When it doesn't, the software assigns a profile to it, through the color engine (Litlle CMS). I assume it does this automatically? Otherwise I am able to assign my own profile to it, directly in Scribus. But what color profile do i assign when i export to PDF, to send off for printing? What is important to take into account regarding the commercial printer?
I've calibrated my screen using the Spyder 2 Express software, and the software has created an .icm profile for that screen. This .icm profile is automatically installed in the directory and thus also in Scribus. But when i assign this profile to my file and i export to PDF, does my commercial printer on the other side of town recognize this profile? Shouldn't i be exporting in a standard ICC profile, like Adobe RGB(1998)?
This is the part where it's hard for me to understand what to do with the profile my Spyder has created.
My sole objective however is to see on my screen as exactly possible as what comes out of the printer on the other side of town.
Thank you for your help.

Just to be clear, in a properly color managed workflow, you do not assign at the PDF export stage. You would either preserve all profiles, or convert to a destination profile. The term assign would lead some to believe there is false profiling going on but I realize that is not what you meant.
You must contact the commercial printer to find out whether to convert to his destination color, or instead perform no color conversion and preserve your current source color spaces.
Hopefully he can provide you with a destination ICC profile which fully describes the print condition. In that case, you can convert to this color space when you export. After PDF creation you can view the destination color with an ICC compliant PDF reader to soft proof the print result.
I am not familiar with the applications you have mentioned. Adobe apps have a way of previewing destination color while still in the source space. It is called Proof Setup. You may or may not posses a tool like this. If you do you may be able to soft proof before PDF creation.
Also I am not sure if you are using Adobe Acrobat to view your PDF output. Whatever you use, it needs to honor ICC profiles to render accurate soft proofs.
As already mentioned, your monitor profile is for your soft proofing purposes only. It is not a source color space or a destination color space, and should have no involvement in PDF output.

It can be difficult to get an extremely accurate soft proof. You need the destination ICC profile, and the proper tools for your display to translate this color space for you to see. If your printer is using the SWOP (Specifications for Web Offset Printing) standard or GRACoL, then there are ICC profiles you can download from the IdeAlliance website:
http://www.idealliance.org/industry_resources/branding_media_and_color/g7
Bear in mind, if the printer specifically tells you not to convert and to include all source profiles, this is called a late binding workflow (relatively rare). Late binding is progressive, but the problem is that you can't soft proof in the print color space. Even though the idea behind any color conversion is to preserve appearance, there are many source RGB colors that cannot be reproduced in print (referred to as out of gamut colors). Examples are vibrant blues, greens, oranges, and violets. You probably won't encounter a late binding printer, but without a destination ICC you just have to trust him to do the best possible conversion to move the job to his output device, whatever it may be.

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.
