GIMP :: What Colour Profile Does Use By Default
Jun 28, 2013
My printer company is insisting that I convert my image to a CMYK profile.
After a bit of googeling it seems that a good generic CMYK profile might be ISOcoated_v2_300_eci.icc
And I found a utility to to do the conversion (URL]. However this utility wants to know what the source colour profile is. So, what does the GIMP use? I.e. if I create a new .XCF and paste in some images and do a bit of painting etc, and then save it as a .JPG, what profile will it be in?
Is the answer none? But I still need something for this utility. Or is it sRGB? There seems to be several variations.

I can't find a way to import an .icc into my GIMP work.
I want to do this so that the pictures on my computer monitor match as closely as possible to the prints from my local (high-end) print shop. My screen is Spyder calibrated.
I'm trying;
Image >>> Mode >>> Convert To Colour Profile >>> (and then from the pop-up box) >>> Convert to ... (and then from the pop-up box) >>> Select Colour Profile From Disk
... and then I select the new .icc (provided to customers on the print shop's website) from a Downloads folder on my local drive.
That all sounds right doesn't it?
It stubbornly remains on sRGB.icc
I've also tried the process in;
Edit >>> Preferences >>> Colour Management
Same result - ignores the selection of a new .icc and remains stuck on sRGB.icc.
I'm desperately trying to colour correct for printing today.

I am working on a website that has existing template images. One of these in particular has a predominate blue background colour, specifically #0a2a35 (195 81 21 [HSV], 10 42 53 [RGB], 81 21 0 79 [CMYK]). I want to transform this colour to an orange colour, #be5d27 (21 79 75 [HSV], 190 93 39 [RGB], 0 51 79 25 [CMYK]). At the same time, I want to change the lighter and darker blue accent colours of the image to become variations of the orange colour.
I have tried several things already, and one method that almost worked for me was using the "Colorize" tool to match the HSV values of the blue colour to orange colour. It almost works except the RGB values don't quite match up.

Windows 7 and Gimp 2.8.2 in single window mode.
I am trying to to use Colour to Alpha by picking a specific colour from an image. But I can't get the colour picker to work.
The image has an alpha channel.
I choose Colour to Alpha, then click on the From swatch. The Colour to Alpha Colour Picker window appears. I click on the eyedropper. But when I move the eyedropper over the image, the cursor changes to the previous tool that was used. For example, if I used the zoom tool, the eyedropper changes to zoom as the cursor leaves the Colour to Alpha Colour Picker window, and zoom becomes active.
How do I pick a colour from the image?

I import a lot of digital images from a Pentax ist-ds, K10d, and a Kodak coolscan. They all have different colour profiles that are not in agreement with my cs3 colour profile so when I import, I have to answer a question for every pic..this is tedious..is there anyway i can import a colour profile into cs3 (like noise ninja) or just have cs3 import the accept the profile that is in the image automatically ?

Is there any freaking way I can change the background to be solid each time I start or reset 3ds max without having to create a maxstart.max file?
Because each time I switch project folders I lose my maxstart.max and the ugly gradient comes back again. I don't need it and I don't want it.

One of my Illustrator CS6 documents was intially created some time ago without paying much attention to colour management issues. I am now trying to put that right and have assigned the document a profile of Adobe RGB (i998). However, each time I open it I am warned that 'The document has an embedded color profile that does not match the current RGB working space'. It also says that the embedded profile is sRGB, while my working space is Adobe RGB. I get this message three times and am assuming that it refers to embedded objects.
Do I have to reimport all items that may have a colour profile, having first ensured that they are tagged as AdobeRGB?

I retouch all my images in photoshop from lightroom so they appear next to the raw file in lightroom when I come back. Depending on where the images will be printed they can have a different embedded profiles. without having to include the profile used in the naming of the file my question is:
Is there a way of viewing the file's embedded profile from within lightroom without having to re-open in photoshop to see?

I wonder if anyone can help? When I want to put a stroke around a selection (or a complete photo), on opening the stroke command, the default colour is always red. 90% of the time, I use a white stroke, so I have to change it every time. Is there any way I can set the default colour to white?

Sometimes my fingers slips on certain shortcuts, but this one changed my background and paper to all white. And I can't change it back to paper being white and background being dark grey. I make a new document and it is still all white but now it shows the paper border.

I have a Canon 60D, and it has all the different color profiles such as Landscape, Portrait, Standard, Faithful, etc. I noticed that the pictures I took look amazing in the camera's monitor, but when imported into Lightroom they looked kind of washed out, the colors were not as vibrant and the contrast was a bit flat. But rencently I discovered that in the Develop module there's an option for Profile, which by default is set to Adobe Standard, but it's a drop down list that also has all the camera's profiles, and once I select the one I used when taking that photo, it looks excellent, very similar to what I see in the camera.
It's not a terrible deal to apply it to one, then copy settings, go to grid, select all the photos taken with the same profile and then paste settings, but is there a way that Lightroom (4.2) can import the profile that was used for the photo and also apply it, instead of using Adobe standard by default?

For my 6D I took the 70-300 VC Tamron as my longer reach walkabout lens. Lightroom has a humongous number of Tamron lens profiles, several of them for every each lens, with some cryptic acronyms.
Furthermore, its always a bit of a hassle to select the proper profile for the 70-300 VC lens. Lightroom always points to the much older non-VC lens. It might be a problem of the EOS-6D and/or Tamron EXIF data itself, that the brand of the lens is not recognized by Lightroom. One has to to select Tamron as the brand manually for every image. Lightroom points than to "70-300 f/4-5.6 Di A 17E" but there exist also a profile 17N, 17P and 17F. Furthermore, below I see tro profiles for the VC version, and one more for a non-VC 70-300.
SP 70-300 F/4-5.6 Di USD A005S
SP 70-300 F/4-5.6 Di VC USD A005E
SP 70-300 F/4-5.6 Di VC USD A005N
Maybe the missing VC is a typo only. I take the A005E on a hunch, and I do not see any difference to the A005N. Maybe "E" is for Canon FE mount, and N is for Nikon's F mount?
I used to own a 17-35 F/2.8-4 for my Nikons. The D300, and a few years later the D7000 have both recorded lens data in such a way, that Lightroom always assumed that the lens is made by Nikon: The default profile was (Make: Nikon, Model: 17-35 F/2.8-4, Profile: D700 17-35- F/2.8-4). Of course no such lens exist from Nikon, the profile was probably downloaded by me using the Lens Profile Downloader. Maybe its author was confused about the "make of lens" versus "make of mount". The profile name might be just a string, thus Lightroom does not know that its not a proper profile. But the real mystery starts when I change the 'Make' from Nikon to Tamron: Lightroom selects than the following Adobe made profile(??):18-200 F/3.5-6.3 DiII A14N.
(Of course a battery of profiles for 18-200 exist as well.) Wow, how comes? I noted this with LR3 and LR4 already, no improvement in LR5. A profile for a Tamron 17-35 exist though in the profile list, albeit I think I also downloaded it using the Adobe profile downloader tool: SP AF Aspherical Di LD [IF] 17-35mm f/2.8-4 o77/
I am not sure if all the issues can be resolved, considering the mix of Adobe provided, and user made lens profiles, albeit choosing a 18-200 lens for a 17-35 sure appears like a bug to me.Can we actually select a default profile to a lens / mount pair, matching the lens in use? find the profile files and to remove the profiles of lenses which we do not have?

I've looked and looked, and even Googled. how to change the default color profile when you start a New image file? In CS5 mine defaults to sRGB (Under the Advanced drop down) but my CS6 is ProPhoto RGB which means I have to change it manually nearly every time I paste an image copied via right click in a web browser.

I have created default settings by serial number for my Canon Mark III 1ds which include enabled lens profile corrections. I then created a user preset with these default corrections. Next I imported a folder of RAW images shot with this same Canon camera with the user profile checked as part of the import. When I switch to the Develop module and check the Lens Corrections panel, I see that although it is checked for each file, the actual make, model and profile are not populated.
Is this a bug or am I overlooking something on import? I understand that in LR 4, you can apply specific lens and camera calibration profiles to camera serial numbers (noise reduction etc too).

How do I convert the colour profile of a Lightroom custom printing package from Adobe Prophoto to sRGB before printing? For that matter, how do I save the thing? I have no interest in saving the template, or the collection separately, since neither has any use without the other. And without saving them as one finished item, I have no way to convert the colour profile of that item. I can see clearly from the appearance of the print preview that the above mentioned colour profile conversion is required.

I have an image which I want to display using only a limited set of specific colours which I have defined in a colour palette. I am aware of the colour map plugin, but from what I can gather from the documentation it simply uses each pixels luminosity as an index. I want to to map each pixel to the colour in my palette that most closely represents the original colour. How do I do this?
