Odd colorsync monitor profile issue

Hi all
I have my monitor calibrated and its profile is selected in two separate accounts on my Mac. When I start up the Mac and log in to either account on its own all is fine. However as soon as both accounts are logged in then the monitor profile defaults to the Generic RGB profile and if I go to the display preferences I am unable to change the profile, I just get beeps every time I click on any profile in the list. Also if I go into the Colorsync Utility my Display is no longer listed in the Device - Displays list to the left, it is in there after a restart.
This is getting very annoying because I do quite a lot of Photoshop work and need my Monitor to give me an accurate picture whether my Wife is logged in or not and preferably without having to restart every time!
If anyone can throw any advice my way I would be most grateful.
Cheers Derek.

That's the same link I posted above.
Stick DMProxy in every users login items and you won't have to bother going into Terminal every time you log in after your kids
The problem is that *Login items* are ran only when you initially log in. If you simply switch users and then go back to your own user (which is alreaady logged in) the Login items are not ran.
(I've just posted a question about this to check it out)

  • Photoshop CS3 wrong colors, monitor profile issue

    Hi, I have this problem, i formatted my pc, reinstalled everything, and when i started Ps, with ,me this error, showing white like purple, any suggestion?

    Thanks.

    Recalibrate your monitor. You can use Adobe Gamma if you have it, or try some free software like Quickgamma. Hardware calibrators are best and most accurate to keeping your monitor calibrated consistently, if you want to spend some money, but otherwise, software eyeball calibrators can fix your problem cheaply and easily.

  • Monitor profile defective

    Have researched this and found good answers.  But my question here is can you turn that pop-up message "The monitor profile "Samsung - Natural Color Pro 1.0 ICM" appears to be defective. Please rerun your monitor calibration software" on and off.
    I may have checked the "don't show this message again" ??
    If so...can I re-enable the the profile warning message and how ?
    Or...does this pop-up only occur if there is a monitor profile issue when Photoshop starts ?
    Adobe Photoshop CS4 (64 Bit)
    Thanks...TRinAz

    The question is what alternative you picked before you checked "don't show". The options are "use anyway" and "discard" - and in the latter case sRGB is used instead.
    The Samsung profile is very likely defective (many canned profiles are), so you're better off using sRGB unless you have a wide gamut monitor.
    To correct the problem permanently you buy a calibrator to make a new monitor profile. Then it's moot.
    EDIT: There is a Reset All Warning Dialogs in Preferences, to answer your question.

  • Monitor/Photoshop/Color profile issue

    heyz! yesterday i changed my monitor profile from srgb to prophoto rgb while viewing some images in photoshop. they displayed the same colors after the change, but today i opened photoshop again and with the same images and all the colors were dissaturated. ive done some search and found the probable cause is a ”broken” monitor profile, or one that doesnt match its capabilities. i changed to adobe rgb, reopened photoshop and that image seems to look right, but i think still not how i remember it from yesterday. my question is: is this really the problem and is there a way i can find whats the largest color space my monitor can display without reading its tech book?( cos its long lost)
    thanks!
    ps: when changing the monitor profile to prophoto i also played with color settings in ps and set it to prophoto/adobe rgb, but that image has an embedded profile and i chose preserve embedded profile when opening it, so i dont think thats the problem.

    If there's a question here it's pretty vague. So, here's how it works, in general terms:
    A monitor profile is a description of the monitor's native color space. And as such it also defines the gamut of your monitor. But the profile doesn't actually "handle" anything, it doesn't do anything - it's just a description.
    Photoshop's color management system is where things are handled. Here, the document color profile is converted, on the fly, into the monitor profile, and these modified RGB values are sent to the monitor. That's all there is to it - a straight and perfectly normal profile conversion. RGB values are remapped to produce the same color.
    Any profile can be converted into any other. But any colors in the source color space that would fall outside the target color space, are just clipped to the gamut limit, and they're effectively gone forever. If you have a ProPhoto file displayed on a standard monitor, it's reasonable to assume that a lot of gamut clipping has occurred before it hits the screen, because the monitor color space is a lot smaller.
    A standard traditional monitor has a native color space that is very close to sRGB. That's why you can use sRGB as display profile, although of course a calibrator will make one that is much more accurate. This is also why sRGB is the standard for web, because it will display roughly right even without any color management.
    Some monitors have a larger color space, and are close to Adobe RGB. These are relatively expensive and are known as wide gamut. If you have such a monitor, it can only be used with full end-to-end color management. In the absence of color management, sRGB material will not display correctly on these monitors, but considerably oversaturated. This is the implication you have to accept when you buy a wide gamut monitor.

  • Monitor profile - does not stick

    Hello,
    I have an Imac on Tiger, 1 admin account and 3 standard users.I calibrated a long time ago with a tool from Pantone and was fine with it. A few weeks ago I bought my own calibration tool(Eye-One) to update the monitor profile. The profile is used when I boot the computer. When I switch to another account the profile is still correct. When I switch back to my account the profile jumps bto "Generic RGB profile"
    The interesting thing is that I can not change the profile in System preferences. If I click on any other profile I just get a "ping" sound and that's it.
    If I then restart the computer it uses automatically the profile I created with the tool.
    The profile is stored under Macintosh HD/Library/Color Sync/Profiles
    I assume that this is correct.
    I have not had this issue with the first monitor profile done with the Pantone tool.
    Thanks for any advice

    I have multiple profiles on my MacBook. I calibraded using the Pantone Huey Pro color meter and software, and the profile is stored in my user:Library:ColorSync:Profiles directory, not the system:library one. I've never used the Eye-One; did it give you the choice of location to save at calibration time?
    I haven't had any issued with the monitor profile being stored in my user profile. It's also stored in my user profile on my G5.

  • Setting Photoshop monitor profiles when using dual displays?

    I'm using a Macbook Pro connected to an Apple Cinema Display under OS 10.5.8. Both monitors are calibrated and I export from Lightroom to Photoshop in ProPhoto. The Photoshop working colour space is also ProPhoto so there is no mismatch there.
    When in dual display mode I like to have my Photoshop application on the Macbook screen and the photo I'm working on shown on the Cinema Display. In fact, I couldn't work any other way because the laptop's screen is not at all suitable for precision work.
    I noticed that when I send an image from Lightroom to Photoshop CS4 for further editing the colours were off in Photoshop. This lead me to check the monitor profile used by Photoshop and I saw it was using the Macbook Pro .icc profile. This seems to be used even if the image is displayed in the external display. Selecting the Cinema Display as "default" in ColorSync doesn't change the situation. As a result, the colours as displayed by Photoshop are incorrect.
    The only "solution" I have found is to either go to System Preferences > Displays  and select the external monitor as the principal one (which is inconvenient because it negates many of the advantages of using dual monitors) or setting the Cinema Display's .icc profile for the Macbook Pro as well (which makes it the one chosen by Photoshop but means I'm only working wiht one correctly calibrated monitor).
    Is there a solution to this problem? Ideally I want to have both my monitors calibrated and Photoshop detect which one I'm using to view my photo. Failing that, I would like to have both monitors calibrated and "tell" Photoshop to use the Cinema Display as the principal monitor.I don't want .
    Many thanks!

    Thanks for your reply!
    I'm not too worried about 10.6 because I'm not using it ( I reverted to 10.5.8 precisely because of the colour issues).
    I don't really understand your reply. My problem is that if Photoshop uses my Mabook Pro profile as the "monitor profile" my pictures - as displayed on the Cinema Display - look different in Lightroom and in Photoshop. It's as if Lightroom is "aware" of which of the two displays is being used whereas Photoshop can only deal with one at a time. I would like to know if this analysis is correct and what I can do so that Photoshop displays my photographs the same way as Lightroom does on each of my two displays.

  • Calibrated monitor profile 'clips' shadow detail in RAW images

    I've been using the Pantone Huey color calibration tool and like it except for one small problem. When viewing RAW images from my Canon 5D in Aperture the shadow areas are 'clipped' and really look crappy. If I do ANY adjustment to the exposure, shadows/highlights, levels, etc. a lot of shadow detail becomes apparent. It's especially noticeable on darker images. This only happens with RAW images from my 5D, and only when I have my Huey profile selected. Aperture and the Huey software are all the most recent versions.
    Even if I turn the brightness DOWN shadow detail suddenly pops into life. So the first thing I do when loading in all my photos is to do a batch brightness adjust +.01, or a batch tweak of the levels by .1. See for yourself... Apple, when are you going to fix this odd issue? I've been plagued with it for over a year now and it's getting to be a real pain. Thanks.
    Example:
    http://www.johnnydanger.net/temp/clipped_blacks.jpg

    I'd really like to understand your post because absolute vs. relative black point sound very close.
    The terms absolute and relative are used to describe different rendering intents (abs. vs. rel. colorimetric). Black point compensation (BPC) is another option when choosing rendering intents.
    The only conversions Aperture does [that are relevant here] are between its internal color space (which is unknown) and the monitor color space and between the internal space and the one it exports into (eg, Adobe RGB in my tests). I have not seen an operating system or application that lets you choose the rendering intent for conversion into the monitor space and Aperture is no exception. Since Aperture uses the preferred intent of a profile for printing it presumably does so as well for displaying (in my case this would be perceptual).
    Now since the darkest point of the internal color space is probably lower than that of the display using perceptual, or relative with BPC, or absolute should ensure that all shadow detail is visible. Since Aperture (and other apps) possibly honor the rendering intent of the monitor profile it might be that Aperture is mistakingly using relative without BPC before I check the Levels box and only after that switch on the BPC. Forcing the application to always use BPC or using absolute as the preferred rendering intent might therefore prevent you from encountering the problem.
    Does what I just said make sense. No, not really but then I don't really know how these apps work internally. And neither do my printing results with a number of labs [10 10 10] is always indistinguishable from pure black.

  • How can I fix 'Monitor profile defective'?

    Hi Guys, I really could use some help.
    I have recently installed Photoshop Element 7 and on opening the editor get the dialogue ‘The monitor profile LGW2242 appears to be defective.  Please rerun your monitor calibration software’.  It also provides the options ‘ignore profile’ or ‘use anyway’.
    My Monitor is an LG Flatron W2242S (OK I know it’s not exactly top of the range but it provides a nice big work space).  LG support (that’s an oxymoron) (un)helpfully tell me that this is a problem with Photoshop which must be defective and have introduced a virus!
    This issue appears to addressed on the Adobe website at  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/328/328054.html However, I note this advice applies to PS and not PSE.  Am I right in assuming that Adobe Gamma is not a part of PSE7?  I cannot find it anywhere on my computer, nor can I find anywhere on the Adobe site where Adobe Gamma is available as a download.  Does the Adobe Color Management Module (CMM) supersede Adobe Gamma and/or do the same thing?  http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=3618
    I have been through all the community threads, all the independent stuff on the web and I cannot find a solution to this problem - hence in desperation I am posting here. 
    Can anyone tell me
    1.       Is Elements 7 supposed to ship with or include Adobe Gamma?  Adobe website says AG ships with Elements but that may refer to earlier versions.
    2.       If Elements 7 does not ship with Adobe Gamma are the two products compatible?  If so it MIGHT still solve the problem according to the comments made about this problem with earlier versions.
    3.       If they AG and AE7 are compatible WHERE CAN I DOWNLOAD A COPY OF ADOBE GAMMA?
    Am I only going to be able to solve this by upgrading to CS and/or buying a higher spec monitor or is this warning something that can just be ignored without affecting outcomes?
    Thanks in anticipation
    Peter

    Adobe Gamma is no longer distributed with Adobe products. It was designed to help you visually calibrate CRT displays, and didn't produce good results with flat-panel displays.  Ignore the tech note you found, and don't worry about trying to install Adobe Gamma.
    The "profile defective" message is most likely caused by an LG monitor profile that either doesn't conform with industry standards, or it does conform, is incompatible with PSE.  When PSE starts, you can safely click "ignore profile".
    Color profiles tell software the color characteristics of individual scanners, printers, and displays.  So-called "color-managed" programs use those profiles to reproduce color more accurately.  Most programs on Windows are not fully color-managed, including most browsers, Windows Picture And Fax Viewer on XP, and Microsoft Office.  Adobe PSE and Windows Photo Gallery and Live Photo Gallery are color-managed.
    Some display manufacturers ship profiles that attempt to represent the "average" of that model of display.   But your individual display may differ a fair bit from that "average".  That's why people who care about faithful color will use at least an inexpensive calibrator such as the Spider or Huey.
    Moving forward, since PSE isn't able to use the LG display profile, and you probably aren't using any other color-managed programs, you could disassocate the profile from the display:
    http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshopelements-6-7-faq.htm#_Colors_are_wrong
    You could also go to the LG web site and see if they have an updated profile.

  • Possible to bypass monitor profile when displaying image?

    After importing a large photo library into Aperture I noticed that when viewing images, they would  change color and in a little under a second the colors looked significantly less "colorful and rich" than before. Sounds "subjective" but it really is not.  There is definitely a transformation going on and the colors consistently become duller on every image viewed.  It is especially noticeable in a album of images taken in the fall using a circular polarizer where the colors looked really great to begin with and then extremely dull after the transformation.  I deleted all of the preview images and set aperture to not regenerate them.  Still, same issue occurred.  The issue occurs with both RAW and jpg images.
    In Canon Image Browser on the Mac colors look great.  It's easy to do an A to B comparison of the same file and see that it looks better in every case.
    But what I've discovered is that I can get the same "dulling" result to occur using Canon's Image Browser 6.x software just by setting one option.
    There is an option checkbox in Preferences that is disabled by default to "Adjust Image Colors Using A Monitor Profile."  Prior to setting that option, the colors looked great, just like they looked on the camera LCD, and they same as they look on my PC also using Canon Image Browser software and Irfan view.  The rich colors seen when not using monitor profile also match what I see in Safari, Chrome, and Internet Explorer browsers.
    In Canon Image Browser when I set the checkbox to "Adjust Image Colors Using A Monitor Profile" the colors become very muted.  They look identical to what I see in Aperture.  Also, I can get the same effect to occur on the PC version of Canon Image Browser.  Microsoft's "Windows Photo Viewer" seems to be monitor profile aware as it shows the same dull colors.  "Windows Photo Viewer" offers no option that I can find to improve the look of the color.  Maybe this is what you want if you're trying to print your images and have them match exactly what is seen on screen.
    I have found that with Photoshop CS5 I can export a jpg to tiff which strips out the color space information and then voila the image "pops" when I bring it into aperture and looks the way it does in Canon Image Browser without using monitor profile.  In fact you can really then compare within Aperture how big the difference is between the two, and the only thing I did was resave the image to a new file format without doing anything else in photoshop.  It's not feasible to resave evertthing as tiff though.
    So my main question is, is there a way within Aperture to bypass the monitor profile so I can see the images with the same colors as they are rendered in the majority of the other tools I use.

    I've done some additional testing on a jpeg image.
    Test 1:
    Canon Image Browser:  "Preferences/Adjust Image Colors Using a Monitor Profile" is unhecked
    Photoshop CS5: "View/Proof Setup" is set to "Monitor RGB"
    Aperture: "Onscreen Proofing" enabled and set to "Generic RGB"  Additionally I've tried every other color profile available
    Result: The colors look identically rich on Photoshop and Canon Image Browser.  Aperture is the only tool I can't get to align with the rich colors.
    Test 2
    Canon Image Browser:  "Preferences/Adjust Image Colors Using a Monitor Profile" is checked.  Restart the software to apply change.
    Photoshop CS5: "View/Proof Setup" is set to "Internet standard sRGB"
    Aperture: "Onscreen Proofing" enabled and set to "sRGB"
    Result:  The colors match on all 3 tools.  The color are very noticeably less rich than in Test 1.
    I went ahead and previewed the image in the browsers on the Mac.  Chrome and Firefox showed the color the same as Photoshop and Canon Image Browser did in Test 1  which looks better in my opinion.
    For Safari color looks the same as Test 2.
    Also Apple Preview looks the same as Test 2 no matter which soft proofing setting is applied.
    I believe Adobe and Canon have the correct behavior and show either richer or duller colors depending on which "proofing" mode they are in.  Only aperture so far cannot be made to do the richer colors.

  • Does Finder cover flow ignore monitor profile/wide gamut for JPG?

    Hi,
    beeing a proud (?) owner of a wide gammut display I use a special monitor profile to see correct colour which of course only works in applications which support it. I expect the Finder to be such an application at it mostly is.
    ButI found on my System with Lion 10.7.3 that my JPGs display wrong/oversaturated in the finder cover flow.
    This is independant of embedded or not embedded ICC profiles in the JPGs, but just an issue with the selected monitor profile.
    The error is NOT observed e.g. for JPEG 2000 files!
    The error is NOT observed for other image display options within the finder, so only the cover flow is effected!
    Further I can not remember to have seen it earlier in Snow Leopard.
    Can anybody also see this issue?
    Thanks for any feedback!

    I don't have a Wide Gamut monitor, just a 24" iMac/2007, here one jpg in Preview on left & Cover Flow on right...

    Wwhen I use the new ColorSync icc Profile!

    After Rebooting My Mac Mini 2010 with Mac OS X 10.6.7!
    Why? My LCD is Chimei 22sh-l with HDMI output.
    Thanks!

    The Critical Problem was solved by buying a Apple DisplayPort VGA Cable[New Taiwan Dollar :1,000]
    link http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB572Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDA3Ng&mco=MTA4NDU0NjA
    The Fact is that the Mac mini Bundled HDMI to DVI would made my ColorSync Profile to Default everytime I
    Reboot or logout my mac mini.
    Also, if you Rrealize the boot-up mac mini Superdrive DVD is noisy! You could just insert a DVD inside, then When you boot-up your Mac mini next time, the noise is Vanished ^^ & Happy
    So, Apple just accept its made Display Protocol for ColorSync to Adjust the Monitor Color, befroe I`ve done this,
    I  thought I have to buy a Apple Cinema Display or Macbook, then I can Get that kind of Benefits!
    But Hopefully, My problem is just solved & Happy .

  • Lightroom 4 Color Profile issue

    I'm having real issues with my exported images from Lightroom 4. When editing the files in LR all the colors are fine, however when I export the images look over saturated and often horrible.
    For a better understanding of what I'm doing in terms of exporting, I've gone into more detail (with example images) on my blog, here: http://www.dannypaynephotography.com/blog/2013/04/colour-profile-conundrum/
    To clarify, I'm using a windows 7 laptop with Lightroom 4, using the built in monitor which has been freshly calibrated using a Spyder2express.
    Thanks!
    Danny

    This has to be a bad monitor profile.  Lightroom, Windows Photo Viewer and Firefox are all fully color managed and should, in theory, display identically. But a broken monitor profile can sometimes affect different applications differently.
    The Spyder 2 express is not a great calibrator. It's now outdated, but even while it was current it quickly got a bad reputation, and rightfully so. Luckily ColorVision/Datacolor cleaned up their operation, and Spyder 3 and 4 are considered very good, with vastly improved sensors.
    To test this, you can try to set sRGB as default monitor profile in Windows, instead of the Spyder profile. Control Panel > Color Management > Devices. I'm assuming, since this is a laptop screen, that it isn't wide gamut.

  • New Monitor Showing Different Colors - Monitor Profile?

    Hi All, in need of some help. I got a new Acer monitor and I am having three issues. The first is when I open photoshop I ger the following error: "Monitor Profile ACER S232HL appears to be defective. Please return your monitor calibration softwear." Then it gives me two choices, to either "Ignore Profile" or "Use Anyway". I've tried both and they both make the images appear differently. What do I do? Thinking about following directions I found here: http://virtualmcube.com/hardware/how-fix-monitor-profile-appears-be-defective-photoshop-er ror-message
    Number 2 is that when I open the same file in PS, LR, online and in the picture viewier, the colors all look different! HELP!
    Number 3 is that my images in LR seem way over saturated.
    When I first plugged in the monitor I was using HDMI and I was told that would be the best. When I ran into the above trouble it was reccmended to me that I use the DVI. The DVI did help to get richer blacks, but didn't help anything else.
    And just for a control group, I plugged my old monitor back in and everything is fine, but I'd like to use my new one! HELP! Thank you

    Canned monitor profiles are notoriously inaccurate or outright defective. Unless you want to go all the way and calibrate/profile with a third-party package, you're probably much better off just using sRGB, and that's what happens when you click "Ignore Profile".
    It's the same solution in the link you posted, only more convoluted.
    Number 2 is that when I open the same file in PS, LR, online and in the picture viewier, the colors all look different! HELP!
    Number 3 is that my images in LR seem way over saturated.
    Come back if you still see this with sRGB as the profile. In general Ps and Lr are both fully color managed and will use the full monitor profile for display. Most other applications are not, so this is not entirely unexpected in itself.
    When I ran into the above trouble it was reccmended to me that I use the DVI.
    Shouldn't matter. The two are fully compatible and the digital video signal is the same.

  • Color Profile Issue Vista x64

    Hi..
    I’m having the a problem but on Windows Vista Business X64. I installed an Acer LCD (X223w Q) yesterday for desktop expansion and updated its drivers automatically it installed the device drivers from God knows where and  since then the Photoshop has gone all crazy it always asks to select color profile when opening the file. Claiming that "The RGB document "try.bmp" has a file format that doesn't support embedded color profiles". It does the same for everything.
    I’ve tried your solution from the following link
    http://lalor.net/index.php/2009/02/photoshop-colour-management-reset/
    but the the OS doesn’t allow me to remove any color profile claiming that its system profile and can’t be removed. I’ve un-installed LCD drivers but it color profile Acer X223W is still showing in the advanced panel in ICC profile along with sRGB IEC61966-2.1 both have a file name and a class name 'display' written against them..
    I've uninstalled and reinstalled graphics drivers as well as photoshop but nothing seems to be working. No matter what profile I select the photoshop opens it in a dark tint. How ever when I press Ctrl + Y to switch to Proof Colors its gets back to normal colors (My proof settings are set to Monitor RGB)
    Following are my System Details
    Machine : Lenovo 3000 n200
    OS: Windows Vista Business x64
    Graphic Card : Nvidia Geforce Go 7300
    I've never have had this problem before the installation of drivers for that LCD. And after searching the internet for over a day its driving me crazy
    Please review the attachment for details.
    I’d really appreciate if anyone could look into this issue..

    Well, why not simply set the monitor to sRGB again? The location of the physical files is C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\Printers\Color. You can delete the profile from there. Also reset PS' color management completely (Edit --> Color). I'm sure the warning has its reasons because based on your (wrong) monitor profile PS thinks it needs to compensate based on your CM policies...

  • Error when I start Photoshop "Monitor profile appears defective"

    Over the past few weeks I have gotten a error popup message when I open Photoshop that says:
    "DELL E22IOH  G2.2 D65" appears to be defective. Please rerun your monitor calibration software.
    If I choose the IGNORE option I can go into Photoshop error free. BUT, if I choose USE ANYWAY I get into Photoshop and the colors are off. There is no more white color (it's not a pale yellowish color).
    I haven't changed any settings in my Photoshop recently (why tinker with something when it's not broken?). Regardless, this error message isn't going away and would like to correct this problem. Anyone ever experienced this before? I've googled the problem and have seen some weird so-called solutions but figured I'd go to the pro's to get a answer I can trust.
    If it matters, I use Windows XP.
    Thanks

    Did you install a new monitor, or bring in new software or an update to where your system now knows more about the monitor hardware than it did before?  Did you update Photoshop to a new revision?
    This would not be a settings issue with Photoshop, but rather what profile you have associated with your monitor via the operating system.  Right-click your desktop, choose Properties, then the Settings tab, and [Advanced] button.  Systems differ at this point, but look for a Monitor tab and Color Management function where you can choose a monitor profile to associate with a particular display monitor.
    Ultimately you want to try to determine what monitor profile file is being identified by "DELL E2210H G2.2 D65" and see if you can get another copy of it (e.g., from Dell.com).  Note that you misinterpreted the 10 as IO in your original message, so a search for the string as I have listed it here may turn up more results.

    Noel,
    Did not install a new monitor or a new version of photoshop or anything else for that matter.  I did however update a windows update several weeks ago. Im not sure but I think the error occurred after that update.
    I was able to follow your steps and found the color management function, but there was only one profile listed.
