HELP!!! - ICC profiles won't work

pikovsg
Hi all,

I've been a long-time user of C1, but can't seem to figure out how to copy and paste change ICC profile settings. For example, say I have a Canon 5D Mark II cam and C1 detects 5D's default ICC profile. All works nicely to this point. However, I happen to like C1's color rendering of Canon 1DsIII profile better (better blues and reds). So I select the latter in the ICC dropdown. When I try to copy and paste that profile to other photos C1 converts it back to default 5D. I unistalled it, deleted all settings, libraries and prefs and reinstalled and it's still doing it. Please help, I woud be grateful for your advise.

Cheers–
GP

    - bug confirmed -

    At least, as far as I am concerned. 😁 (CO 5.1.1, OS X 10.5.8, 5D mkII)
    I have contacted Phase One on this.

    To update on the issue after contacting Phase One support staff, I appeared that the behavior described occurs only when you try to apply a Phase One made camera profile to a file not made for that profile, like the OP likes to achieve. This is (probably) by design or intentionally. I copy from the discussion the suggested workarounds below.
    Workaround_1
    Edit the profile with Color Editor so it is more like what you need, then apply this as an "other" profile

    Workaround_2
    If you REALLY want to apply the Capture One 1Ds profile to a 5D file, get the Canon 1Ds profile you want from the package contents and copy it to the home user>library>colorsync>profiles folder. Rename it in finder e.g. "pauls1DScustom" then open it in colorsync - highlight "1 desc" field: rename ascii name and Mac script name also to "pauls1DScustom"

    Update may follow when and if additional feedback from Phase One surface on the issue.

    Ok thanks - the 2nd approach seems to have worked as a temp solution. One thing though – as I copy and paste the new ICC profile it gets pasted as blank in the dropdown box. Is that a bug or should I name any additional fields in the color sync box?

    Thanks again

    Gary, maybe you'd better rename the profile in a CO5 kind of style with a 'CanonEOS5DMk2-' prefix.
