Why is Bridge reporting color profiles incorrectly?

Why is Bridge seeing this image as an Adobe RGB when it is really Colormatch RGB?
I am using CS5 on Windows 7 64bit. I have purged the cache and did a full restart of the OS.
1.       The top dialog is Bridge and it is reporting the image as Adobe RGB (1998) in three places.
2.       Next, with Photoshop’s rgb color setting is set to Adobe RGB and I get an Embedded Profile Mismatch.
3.       I reset the color setting to Colormatch an opened the file without a mismatch. The status bar Document Profile confirms Colormatch
4.       In the convert to Profile dialog, the source profile is Colormatch. (Is this a reflection of the working space setting?)
5.       In file Info Raw Data Colormatch is reported.
6.       I then opened the image as a TXT file and found a tag for Colormatch. There is no reference in the TXT file or Raw Data to Adobe RGB (1998).
Why does Bridge report this image as Adobe RGB (1998) when the file seems to have no reference to Adobe RGB?

I am assuming that some remnant of a former state of these files is causing Bridge to report the color profile incorrectly.
I made a workaround to fix these files by creating a Droplet (With 'Save on Close' and 'Override Action "Save As" Commands.) to run an action with the following steps:
Convert color to Lab.
Convert color back to RGB. (Working space:Colormatch RGB)
Assign Profile to Colormatch RGB.
Save As. (With ICC Profile: Colormatch RGB checked.)
Close.
With Profile Mismatch Warning set to' Ask When Opening', the droplet stops on any images that are not Colormatch and resumes after making a selection.
This is correcting the files and they are now reading correctly in Bridge.

IPad2 color profile is dead-on-WRONG

OK, so im a professional photographer and im working a lot on my iPad. But is it true I need to discourage the iPad2 to all creatives because of the incorrect color scheming? In my profession it is VERY important that my photographs, when edited on iPad, are exported with satisfying color results. Sadly, all my edited photo's turn out very different then I made them on the iPad. Blue turns purple in the most worrying way! And sadly, it ****** me off. Because the color shifts are only noticeable on monitors, not just my monitor but EVERY monitor.
My Iphone4s suffers from the exact same color shifts. And that ****** me off even more. So now I have to suffer battery drains AND incorrect color results. This NEEDS to be fixed or else it will fail among photographers, designers, painters...
I added an image of a camera color picker. I picked the color on my iPad2 with my iPhone4S. You can see on my iPad it says the color blue is assigned to the RGB HEX '631BDD'. But in reality that HEX is purple (try it out on any rgb color picker)
WHY does the iPad2 AND the iPhone4s have totally messed up color profiles??? and WHY cant we add color profiles??
This so ****** me off, since I can discard all my artwork that I rendered on my iPad2...
PISSS

no lol, i love my ipad but it so very frustrates me that my artwork is being nailed over since i put so much time in editing and working on my ipad.
but seriously, there must be a fix to this??? This is a major issue!

Adobe Bridge Reports Inaccurate File sizes

Im still in CS4 but can't seem to find a forum on CS4. In any case, why does Bridge report inaccurate file sizes? I thought I could use bridge to select all of the M2V files in a folder which I wanted to use in an Encore DVD project to get an accurate total file size. That way I would know if all of the selected files would fit on a single DVD. But Bridge doesn't report an accurate total file size of selected files. What's up with that? Is that too much to ask out of Bridge?

but where is the "activity bar"? I don't see another total indicator of
selected files anywhere.
Well I think we are talking about something you already discovered but there
seems not an official name for it I believe, I call it the activity bar, it
might also be called a status bar or status monitor, can't find the official
name for it at this moment.
Anyway It is at the bottom of the Bridge window left side. Click on a folder
and it tells you the number of items showed and items hidden (and here it
should also say the total amount of folder size but as said before, a long
standing feature request). Click on one or more files and it shows the
amount of selected files and the total size of the selected files.
When first opening a folder in the content window Bridge needs to cache the
thumbs and depending on settings also thumbnails. When caching you see in
this bar a spinning arrow showing it is still caching and also the amount of
files to cache that are left.
A very useful item in my workflow

Bridge doesn't recognize color profiles

Dear Adobe community,
I'm using Adobe Bridge CS5.1 (4.1.0.54) and Illustrator CS5.1 (15.1.0), and I'm experiencing a very confusing and disturbing color management problem between these two applications. In short, for some unknown reason Bridge doesn't seem to respect or simply cannot read CMYK color profiles that I've applied to an artwork within Illustrator, but rather labels the file as "Untagged" and displays it with clearly desaturated colors. To illustrate the problem I've created some screenshots having Bridge on the left hand side and Illustrator on the right displaying the same illustration with various color profiles applied. That is, in each case I assigned different color profile to the image in Illustrator, saved the file and took the screenshot of Bridge and Illustrator both displaying the image. Now if you look closely then perhaps you notice that the only time I got a visual match between these applications was when I switched the file to a RGB mode within Illustrator. But even then Bridge did not recognized the correct color profile but interpreted it as "Untagged". Here are the screens:
Bridge "Untagged" vs. Illustrator "U.S. Web Coated":
Bridge "Untagged" vs. Illustrator "Coated FOGRA39":
Bridge "Untagged" vs. Illustrator "Don't Color Manage This Document":
Bridge "Untagged" vs. Illustrator "Adobe RGB":
Hope you could see the difference from these tiny images. Looking from my monitor, I can tell you for sure that they are definitely off, except the RGB versions of the illustration. This made me surmise that perhaps Bridge can only display Working RGB profiles correctly and not anything else.
Here's also my color settings, just in case…
So... Why is that??? Why are these applications showing me different results while my color settings are supposed to be "Synchronized"? Is there a way to fix this? I have tried to play around with the settings and looked for a solution in the web but to no avail. Could you please help me to find a soulution to this disturbing problem?
All the best,
Juhani

You may have used the broken global Purge Cache command in Bridge Preferences, or the cache is otherwise corrupted. Try Purging the Cache through the Tools menu in Bridge for each folder. Tools > Cache > Purge cache for 'foldername'.

Why can't I include a color profile when exporting to PDF?

I've a basic RGB illustrator file - no embedded or linked images, just flat colors and gradients.
I'm working in sRGB space and this is reported correctly in the info field at the lower left of the editing window.
Some issues:
1. When I look at this file in Bridge it's listed as 'untagged'. However if I re-open it in illustrator it's reported to be sRGB as expected.
What's broken here?
...and of more immediate concern:
2. Despite requesting 'Include All Profiles' on the output page of the PDF save dialog I cannot get a PDF exported that includes the sRGB profile.
Same issues in both CS6 and CC - Windows 7, 64.
Thoughts, comments or suggestions welcomed....
Thanks

Your .pdf is fine, if you open the .pdf in illustrator, adn hten do edit >> assign profile, this radio biutton will bo on what the profile. Also in the bottom left of illustrator you can see what color profile your document is saved with, btuy turning that on.
Hold down option adn you will get other fun easter egg options
Bridge only seems to show profiles for certain bitmapped formats, except .psb format.

My color profiles does´nt show in bridge

Before going totally insane i ask here....
im useing CS4 premium
Images: .psd, gif, jpg ect shows tagged colorprofiles in bridge
But InDesign Documents and illustrator documents shows colorprofiles as :untagged
WHY?! I have assigned a profile etc etc and no matter what it says: Untagged
im going ballistic. Cant you tag a colorprofile to a indesign/illustrator document ore what is going on?!
Even my PDF´s are :Untagged
I use color management in Bridge with same settings for all programs: Preserve color profils...etc
My god- someone please help coz im going absolutely desperate
tnx guys

I do not know anything about InDesign or Illustrator., and have not had to get into color profiles. Having said that I believe Bridge writes that info to XMP file, unless you have it in database (which some experts say in lunacy).
I do know that Illustrator uses a data base for keywords and perhaps the other stuff as well. If you want Bridge to read it you have to check some option that says something like - export data to metadata.
Hope that helps.

Why Won't Photoshop Sync my Color Profile Settings?

I am using a Lynda.com tutorial for color management by DEKE MCLELLAND and after following his instruction to change my color management settings in BRIDGE AND ILLUSTRATOR to use the color profile ADOBE RGB (1998), I receive this message when switching to Photoshop to check if it has synced as well as the other two programs: "The color settings file contains settings that are not supported by this version of Photoshop running on this system. These unsupported settings will be reset to their default values."
I have tried several times and it simply will not sync
I am using a MAC PRO (late 2007) 10.9.4.

You are the perfect candidate for Adobe Support CHAT. You will speak with someone from India, but they are very smart, and very polite. It may take an hour or so, but every problem of this type I've had, they have been able to solve.

Why CMYK Color Profiles Warning?

Hi guys,
I just made a couple of CMYK shades of grey. Here is a sample:
http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=1fo01uualiQLkc4uuLbXfnAoWsiVw
When i export the PDF to High Quality Printing, i get Warning Icon with the message "The preset specifies source profiles that don’t match the current color settings file. Profiles specified by the current color setting will be used" Why do i get that message? i am not using or importing any Photoshop Image with a different color profile...i just created my CMYK color inside my document.
I am sending this PDF to a Laser Color CMYK Printer (not my own home laser printer) something like a Kinkos Store. Could that be a problem for color settings to a this kind of printers? By the way, these are my color profiles.
http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=1EEuCxcbSjWaY2cNQj8dBAFedNlly0
is in Spanish but i think i quite clear.
Thanks for any info on that!
Cheers,

I'm here because I was researching the same error. I've gotten it for years, and usually worked around it but finally got around to trying to get to the bottom of it. One thing I just noticed is that I had a file where I received this warning, and then went to Edit > Convert to profile in ID. I noticed that the Source of the file was NOT the working space set in my color settings (different computer from where I created it). I converted the file to the working space profile, and went back to Export to PDF again, and DID NOT get the warning.
My concern would be what ID does if you ignore the warning. If my profile was different from teh working profile and I go ahead and covert anyway, will ID ASSIGN the working profile to my file, or CONVERT my images to the working profile specified in the color settings file. Which it chooses will likely have an inpact on my color. I might try to test this by creating an image in a wierd source profile that will look quite different if the numbers are just ASSIGNED a new profile and Export to PDF and see what happens. I think that might tell me what ID is doing.
I really would like to understand this for certain.

PS CC 2014 stopped to respect the setting to preserve embedded color profile, why?

My normal workspace is Prophoto RGB. I, however, has a large number of tiff files (dias'es scanned with a Nikon scanner) with the color space sRGB. Up till recently I had no problems - all the files kept their embedded color profile when opened in PS. I Even have the checkbox that tell PS to ask if there is a mismatch checked on. PS does not ask used to do so). This has happened after my last update of PS from PS CC to PS CC 2014. I have deinstalled Ligthroom to see if synchronization migth cause this. That did not help.
Please help.

Sorry, I do not hope that I have got something fundamentally wrong. I hope not! Otherwise please correct me!
All my own files start out as Nefs and are from Bridge brougth through ACR and on in PS as Prophoto RGB 16 bit files.
Since I also work with files that are not my own Raw files as the scanned Tiffs (scans of my 50 years old slides - scanned by somebody else on a Nikon Super Coolscan 9000 ED), Tiffs from other people or even JPEGs, I have set PS to preserve embedded color spaces and to alert me if there isn't a match between my workspace (the Prophoto RGB) and an allready embedded color space. This because I did not think it advisable to change to Prophoto RGB from Adobe RGB orsRGB as the extra colors in Prophoto RGB never were present in the Adobe RGB or sRGB files and therefore could not be "conjured" up. I, however, got the impression that 16 bit would still be an advantage when editing.
I like to start any one-layered file in ACR before entering it into PS and do not want to change that. Up till now PS nicely warned me of color space mismatches but not with these scanned files. So my present worry is if the color space of the files from the Nikon scan may be changed from a smaller to a larger space (which would not be a good idea, or?) when going into PS. I speak only of files that enter PS from ACR with ACR workflow settings of Prophoto RGB 16 bit and with the color settings of PS as described above.
As I wrote earlier today, I am beginning to think that these files do not have a color space assigned until they get into my software but I do not know enough of the Nikon Scanner to be sure. If so everything is OK and PS functions perfectly.
As written above Bridge shows the scanned Tiffs to have the Nikon sRGB 4.0.0.3001 as color profile but below in Camera Data (Exif) it says "Exif color Space: Uncalibrated".
Does anybody know if these files in realty does have an embedded color Space before entering the software outside of the scanner?
I hope my English is understandable! Please forgive the 73 year old grandmother if she has got it all wrong!

Bridge Filter Tab - Color Profile

I have an iMac (Mountain Lion OS X
10.8.4) Nikon NX2, Nikon
D800E camera, and Photoshop CS6.
Most of the 100 or so photos I
have transferred to my Mac by (USB and
also card) are RAW NEF at approx. 40MB a file. (Lossless compression) Most all of these pictures are in Color Space Adobe RGB, because that is
what I set up on the camera.
When in Bridge > Filter Tab > Color Profile > [this says that the majority of the NEF
photos , in the camera’s Color Profile Space of Adobe RGB, are not in this
color space, but the color profile of “UNTAGGED!” I’ve studied all the preferences and options of
Bridge and I am not 100% that I know what to change so these photos will show
in the color space I want them to and I don’t want to make a mistake by
clicking something that I can’t undo so…
How do I
get these photos (which I guess are showing up in Bridge as sRGB color space)
to show up in Adobe RGB. And if I can
change this, what could be the good or bad consequences of changing to Adobe
RBG?
There is
also a Thumbnail Option – “Generate 100%
previews. Will checking this show the previews at 100%? And what consequences does using this have?
Thank You Very Much For Your Help,
Thank You,
Sandy

I looked at my canon raw files and they also say untagged. So Apparently the color profile does not get saved in the side car file. Which maybe a good thing. The raw file is suppose to be your negative, in that it doesn't need any color profile until you do something with it in another file format that does support color profiles.
The generate previews will use up more drive space to speed up previewing them. But in general, I never really needed it. So it boils down to what type of system do you have, ex. plenty of drive space, speed of cpu, amount of ram, etc.

How do I embed a color profile in an untagged picture that is displayed incorrectly as sRGB?

I have a set of JPEGs that have been stripped of their color profiles (AdobeRGB). Lightroom assumes that they are sRGB images and displays them incorrectly. Is there any function in the program that will let me embed the correct (AdobeRGB) profile to the photos, preferably without re-compressing them?

It looks like the developer of ExifTools GUI is no longer supporting it:
http://u88.n24.queensu.ca/exiftool/forum/index.php?topic=5370.0
I tried using an older ExifTools Gui v3.38 with the latest ExifTools v9.47 windows installer download and it works fine. It also does NOT recompress the image data when using the 'Import ICC/ICM Profile' tools. So there's no need to create TIFFs to change the profile on your JPEGs without altering the image data. Try it!
I've uploaded a ZIP file, which contains a folder with everything you need. Download, unzip, and place the folder anywhere on your HDD. Copy and paste the shortcut 'ExifToolGUI 3.38 (ExifTools 9.47)' that's in the folder to your desktop. Nothing is installed – Exif GUI is a standalone app. If it doesn't open you may need to right-click on the shortcut and selct 'Run As Administrator.'

Why are printer managed color prints different from Photoshop managed color prints using the same color profile?.

I'm using Photoshop 13.0.1, Windows 7, to print images using custom color profiles made with an XRite colorimeter. However, when I print the image using Printer Manages Color, it is not the same as Photoshop Manages the colors and selecting the Canon ICC profile that (Canon 7200 MP2) that is the same as the printer managed settings. Why are these prints not the same if the same color profile is being accessed??

Hi WA Veghe,
>First: DO synchronize, makes sure you have the same profile settings and color mange settings.
I don't seem to be able to synchronize between CS4 (Photoshop) and CS3 (Indesign).
It seems I have to do without synchronizing..
>I do not seem to find HOW you are diplaying images on you screen: with Soft proofing?
What happens if you soft proof in Photoshop and InDesign on screen: View > Proof colors. Do you proof with the same profiles, both simulate paper and black on?
I can simulate Proof Colors (working CMYK), but not simulate Paper, both in Indesign and Photoshop.
Problem is: SAME settings in Photoshop and Indesign BUT the image displayed in Photoshop is brighter and more saturated.
So which image should I correct after?
thanks for all help

Why can't I find the color profile info in the library ?

Why can’t I find the color profile info in the library ?
It’s sometimes necessary to convert to sRGB for some applications ( internet, some beamers in clubs,…).
I convert them but afterwards it is nice to have the possibility to check this out and should be possible in lightroom, the info is present why not showing it ( it is not so easy to go in finder and look at it in info for every image)?
Since I’m always working in Adobe profile for printing and so this is important to know !
But no trace of it anywhere….
Thx for any reply.

The disconnect here is many (including me) don't reimport rendered JPEGs
into our Lightroom Catalogs. Why you are doing that is beyond me. You
have the original and can recreate any rendered file at any time.
Storing the derivative JPEGs is redundant, creates additional confusion
and serves little real purpose. Exported versions are considered
discarable by many.
Yes, understand what you're meaning. but the fact is that I started rather recently with lightroom. So my images where classified in directory's and subdirectory's...already.
I think that this is the major problem. This is always a problem when you step in a new system.
Let's say I am going to submit to a photographic society, I have an Export
preset created that exports to proper size and color space for
projection. It creates a file. I send it to the club. Then I delete it.
Why save it? I can recreate it. Then I don't have to manage it, search
for it, or worse yet, risk confusion with my original file or othe
resultant derivatives.
The fact that I like to keep them is
indeed an inborn result of the "pré-lightroom period". A bad habitude
indeed. I'm thinking now of deleting them, will maybe better. On the other side
I still have them just for me in order to know which ones I used and when.
Another bad habitude.
But
since I'm not a professional photographer I'm mostly confronted with the time
issue and it is for me easier to take existing files ready for use...
( doesn't mean you’re not confronted
with this problem
Today place for jpeg's is rather easy since the Gb's are almost free...
Same is true of a client photo. They want an 8x10. I go to the retouched
original, create a JPEG from an 8x10 preset in the proper dimensions and color space. Send it to the lab. Then, I can delete it.
One of the strengths of Lightroom is that it creates many fewer
intermediate file versions along the way toward final creation. Another
strength is that you can save (via snapshots in Develop) your
derivatives, export, and discard them without having to create, import
and manage additional files on disk. In the old days of just Photoshop
you might end up with a dozen or more files on your disk for every
worked file. With Lightroom, you only need one or two.
Will look deeper in your proposed workflow...and yes I'm comming from the old days.
That said, if you want to keep the derivatives for purposes down the road,
that is up to you but I don't understand why they need to be inserted
into your catalog.
Since my catalog is made in the time
from before lightroom I’m still having all these directory's and
subdirectory's...
Easier
for me since even with back-ups of the catalogue still afraid for crashes. And
I keep liking these directory structure because for the moment it's lighrtroom
and tomorrow it can be another program, you never know. It's like a website, "on line versoin only", big problem when a firm at some moment stop to provide this possibility.
I think I will try to go deeper in "how to use lightroom better..."
thanks

Photoshop document with smart objects changed when I apply color profile. Why?

I work in Photoshop with smart objects. When I apply color profile smart object are changed. For example change filter or change size. I dont now why?
See image

Yes, fortunately, I am a Windows user, but I don't want to start a religious war here And it is also possible to run multiple versions of Adobe products simultaneously under Windows - why shouldn't that be possible? Currently I have CS3 and CS4 and somtimes use CS3 when CS4 is just too buggy to get the job done. Before that I had CS and CS2 on the same machine.
But I wouldn't keep all versions back to PS 6.0 or CS, that would be a bit too chaotic and I'd had to spend days of installing if I get a new computer. I expect those programs to be a little bit backwards-compatible, so I don't have to use many different versions. And for Photoshop, this is mostly the case. It's just very tiny details like Smart Object resizing that seems to work differently.
Otherwise I'm really happy that in CS4 I can finally link Masks to smart objects and apply warp and perspective on them, that's a big plus!

How to chnge cmyk and also apply color profiles in bridge

Hi
i want to apply color profile for selceted files in brige

Does any one know how you can adjust the font size (point size) for the file
names.
Sadly enough you can't chance that, feel free to add a feature request for
that, the more there ask for the bigger chance it will be realized.
It would be great if the colors for the image name (background and font color)
could be changed so the contrast could also be increased so it is also easier
to read.
And this the cheerful part, go to Bridge preferences General tap and play
with the sliders for user interface and Image Backdrop until your satisfied.
BTW using the slider for thumbnail size bottom right of the Bridge window to
increase the thumbs does not increase the font but makes it nevertheless a
little clearer.

Why is Bridge reporting color profiles incorrectly?
