'The monitor profile "LCD color management and conversion" PSE6

Does anyone know how to correct this?  I can find older posts  but they date back too far.  Where they say to go and what do has changed since.
The monitor profile LCD color management and conversion appears to be defective.  Please rerun your monitor calibration software.
Everything dispalys in a cream color background and nothing prints correct color.  I have PSE6.

I'm guessing this message appears when you start the PSE6 Editor?
If so, what you should select is Ignore, and check the box to not show the message again. (Alternatively, you can remove the profile. If you wish to do this, tell me what edition of Windows you have and I can provide instructions.)
Essentially, you have a profile installed for your computer's monitor, either installed automatically by Windows Updates, it came with your computer, or it was installed with a driver (or piece of software) for your monitor.
This type of profile is "generic" and does not contain color calibration information.
Elements looks for profiles assigned to your monitor, because if the profile was created as part of a color calibration process, then that profile contains information that will help Elements to ensure that the colors you see on the screen are accurate.
Color is a complicated topic, especially when you introduce computer monitors, but suffice it to say that each monitor has various things that can make it display the same image in a way that's different from every other monitor. These things can include age of the monitor, the specific settings (e.g. contrast, brightness, etc.) of the monitor, and the lighting conditions in the room. When you calibrate a monitor using specialized calibration hardware/software, the calibration software creates a profile that tells programs on your computer (like Elements) about all these factors and how to compensate for them to ensure everything is displayed correctly.
Sorry for what may seem a long-winded explanation, but just understand that using the "generic" profile instead of one created by specialized calibration equipment has caused colors to appear incorrectly in Elements and are likely contributing to the problem when printing. This is why you should select Ignore.

  • Why "LCD color management and conversion" appears to be defective?

    Why? How to fix it?

    Apparently "LCD color management and conversion" is the profile that's associated (through the operating system) with your monitor.
    The error message is because the color profile named "LCD color management and conversion" likely really is defective.  Profiles are complex things and are not always properly crafted.  This problem is surprisingly common.
    Click Start, then type color management into the search box.
    When Color Management comes up, click it.
    Click the Devices tab to see or change what profile is associated with your monitor.
    How did you end up with that profile associated with your monitor?  The windows default is to use sRGB IEC61966-2.1.
    Did you profile your display with a color measurement device?  Did it get installed with your monitor?

  • "monitor calibration software" "LCD color management and conversion" is defective.

    My photoshop is not working and A message pops up saying to rerun monitor calibration software. How do I do this?

    Which calibration tool are you using? With my Spyder4Elite it's just about running a recalibration with its software...

  • The monitor profile "***" appears to be defective......

    This is an FYI for others trying to solve the problem I've been pulling my hair out over! I was receiving a warning on startup of Ps CS3 "The monitor profile 'LCD color management and conversion' appears to be defective. Please rerun your monitor calibration software". This was after using my EyeOne to calibrate my monitor. I've seen variations of this problem on various forums and websites, but none helped my particular problem.
    FINALLY, it occurred to me to check the default profile for my SECONDARY monitor! That one was using a stock profile that came with the monitor, but that was what was triggering the error message. Once I replaced that with the same profile as I created and was using on my primary monitor, Ps stopped displaying the warning.
    I hope this helps someone else! If I recall from months ago when I researched and bought my colorimeter, my model will only calibrate one monitor, so I can't use it to create a unique profile for the second monitor.

    OK, this is pretty funny...
    I'm having this same problem, and can't remember how I solved it before, searching all over the internet and Adobe Forum, and finally find this post.  Finally, a post that seems very similar to my problem!
    HELLO!  I posted it!!!!  Even if it never was of any help to anyone else, it helped me solve the problem again!
    This time, problem arose because of having to remove and reinstall GPU and monitor drivers.  Other things have change too, since my original post.  I'm now on Win7 64bit, just bought PS CS5, and different GPU.....but none of those are a factor.
    Even though I had just recently calibrated my primary monitor with Eye-One, using the advanced mode; I did it all over again, and determined that it was set as the default profile.
    I almost thought the fix didn't work this time around, but upon trying it again, I realized I wasn't paying close enough attention.  I right-clicked the desktop to get to screen resolution, and clicked on advanced properties after selecting monitor #2.  Color management tab>click on color management button>devices tab.  Alas, I thought, they're the same list of profiles, and the newest profile is set as the default.  It wasn't until the second time around that I realized that, even though I had started out selecting monitor #2 as the one I wanted to change, this dialog I found myself in has a drop-down for monitor, and it was displaying the profiles for the primary.
    Once I changed that to show the secondary monitor, the problem was evident: the only profile showing was the dreaded "LCD color management and conversion" profile.  Where it comes from, and why PS doesn't like it, I have no idea.  As far as I can tell, it's not Dell's.   I also had to check the box "Use my settings for this device" before I was able to add any new profiles.  I added a few new ones from the list after clicking on "add", including the profile for my primary.  Since my secondary is not color critical and is just for tool pallettes, I just chose one that looked similar to my primary's (the one for the primary was too cool).
    Reopened PS, and it was happy as a clam!

  • When opening Elements 13 I have a message  The monitor profile "Dell S2340L color profile, D65" appears to be defective. I have a new Dell PC with Windows 8.1?

    When I open Elements 13 I have a message. The monitor profile "Dell S2340L color profile, D65" appears to be defective. I have a new Dell PC with Windows 8.1

    You can check if the standard Srgb profile has been change.
    Close Elements.
    Go to Start menu >> Control Panel >> Color Management.
    Click the Devices tab.
    From the Device pop-up, select your monitor.
    Check the ‘Use my settings for this device’ checkbox.
    Make a note of the currently selected profile, which is marked as (default). If there isn’t an existing profile, you can skip this step.
    Click the Add button.
    In the Associate Color Profile dialog, select sRGB IE61966-2.1 (sRGB Color Space Profile.icm) and press OK.
    Back in the Color Management dialog, select the sRGB profile and click Set as Default Profile, and then close the dialog.

  • Lightroom not using the Monitor Profile

    I have recently set up a new computer with a new monitor. When I got PS and Lightroom set up on the new system I noticed that when viewing photos in both applications the colors are VERY different compared to how they look viewed online or in another photo viewer from my desktop (windows 8). I also noticed that when I opened PS I got a message saying that the Monitor Profile is "bad" and I could opt out to ignore the profile. When I did ignore it the color looks fine. Blacks are black, gray's are gray, etc . . . Anyway, I am wondering if there is a way I can have Lightroom ignore the profile as well. I have a monitor calibrator and I will try that, but I am wondering if it will do anything only because other applications look fine. Hope someone can shed some light on this!

    First of all, Photoshop and Lightroom are fully color managed applications that will actually use the monitor profile to display the image.Many other applications (viewers/browsers) are not and will just ignore it. So there's a difference right there.
    That said, when you get that message in Photoshop, it means exactly what it says. That profile is bad and should not be used.
    The real solution is to use a calibrator to make a new custom profile for your monitor. Until you get that up and running, use sRGB IEC61966-22.1 as monitor profile. You set this up in Control Panel > Color Management > Devices:

  • Which monitor for accurate color management?

    I shoot digital product and food photography using a mac powerbook. I've been using a LaCie CRT (yes, I said CRT) monitor for fine tuning my photos. It has finally started acting up so I'm ready for a new monitor. Can anyone recommend a dependable monitor that has color, brightness and contrast controls for use with establishing color managed profiles using eye1 macbeth (now that company is called something else which I can not remember at the moment). Obviously it needs to be accurate when it comes to color, brightness and contrast as well.
    I ended up using my laptop screen this past shoot cause I had no other choice - but it made me really nervous.....
    thanks -

    First of all, my sincere condolences for your loss.  Losing your last high-end CRT is a traumatic loss.  I'm still hanging on to two (2) of them!  (Knock on wood!)
    Highly recommended monitors:
    The NEC 2690 and 2490.
    You want to use the SpectraView II software to conduct all the work internally and use GammaComp and ColorComp.
    If Andrew Rodney chimes in with updated recommendations, listen to his advice.

    Your factory-supplied monitor profile, associated with your monitor by the operating system, is bad.  It's more common than you'd think.
    To avert the error:
    Open the Color Management panel of your Windows operating system.  In the Devices tab, if it is not already listed [ Add... ] the sRGB IEC61966-2.1 profile and [ Set as default Profile ].
    After doing the above, log out of Windows and back in again, just to ensure everything's updated.
    Note that the above assumes your monitor is more or less displaying color in the sRGB color space (sRGB is short for sRGB IEC61966-2.1).  For many monitors this isn't a terribly wrong assumption.
    If you want to ensure you have the most accurate color, consider buying a calibration and profiling device, which (with its associated software) can set your calibration and generate custom color profiles by doing actual measurements from your monitor.  You'll want to take some time to get your mind around how color-management works, and that is not a trivial task.  It's certainly well beyond what can be taught in a forum post by post.
    Good luck.

  • Even after uninstalling, reinstalling Firefox, the Firefox profile folder is empty, and I get the message "Firefox is still running and not responding close firefox...

    Even after uninstalling, reinstalling Firefox, the Firefox profile folder is empty, and I get the message "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system." I have followed all the directions I can find, on my computer and Firefox Support. Still, the same message comes up, and "firefox" is not shown in my Windows Task Manager.
    What can I do?

    Delete the profiles.ini file and let Firefox create a new default profile.

  • Re: Does updating the display driver affect color management settings?

    Hello everyone!
    I have received a message about the new display driver update and I have some doubts about installing it. When I installed an update for the BIOS driver, all BIOS settings returned to the default ones, but in that case it wasn't a big deal to set them again according to my needs. But I spent, probably, half a day, adjusting the color, using the color management, and I really want to keep the settings I've done. So, please, tell me, if updating the nVidia driver affects these settings and if there's any way of backuping them? Thank you very much!

    Hi,
    If you install a graphic card driver, your setting will be set by default. To be honestly, I don't see any reason to update drivers if the system runs well. I still use the same drivers I downloaded before and don't make update for new one. About backing up the settings, I don't know how to do it.Anyway, I have never thought about it.
    You are welcome, if have more questions.

  • Color management and printer dialog

    When I print from PS CS-3 to my Epson R1800 printer I check "Photoshop Manages Color." I immediately get a question, "Did you disable color management in the printer dialog?" I am unable to find where I do this. Can anyone help?

    The paths vary from printer-to-printer or even driver-to-driver for the same printer, but should resemble each other. So, for whatever it's worth, I disable this function for my Epson 1280 via:
    Page Setup > Printer > Properties > Custom > Advanced. There, under "Color Management", I activate the radio button "No Color Adjustment" which I have come to realize means no color management by the PRINTER, without restricting color management by Photoshop. Do you find a similar route for your 1800?
