You wrote that ACDSee shows N/A for "Embedded Color Profile", which means that there is none. If a color space other than sRGB is used, Uncalibrated (=FFFF.H) is set.ĪCDSee shows this tag in the Exif properties tag.

"Normally sRGB (=1) is used to define the color space based on the PC monitor conditions and environment. The Exif Image::Colorspace tag is part of the EXIF standard and this is what the standard says about this tag. If you see N/A then no profile is embedded in this image. The latter is basically a hint for the viewer to use this profile, which it might do if the ICC profile is installed on the machine.ĪCDSee shows the embedded profile in the File properties tab. I am going to try lightroom and see if there is a way to migrate my tags over if it works well for me.Īn image can have an embedded color profile (the icc proflile is stored within the file) or a color space can be referenced.

Did you turn color management on? - which is funny since in my email I say "When I turn color management on.") and I gave up when they responded with suggestions about the windows OS color settings that don't actually exist in vista - they are trying to assist by guessing, not testing, and clearly the little cheat sheet help manual they work from is for XP and does not have vista properly covererd. I pursued some solutions with the support at ACDSee, but they made zero useful suggestions at the start (e.g. This always says N/A regardless of what color space the image was shot it and regardless of any use of the "batch convert icc profile" tool that in theory lets you select any of the registered profiles and save the image in that space/profile I don't get what the difference is between the color space and profile. If you look at the summary FILE tab, then it has an entry for embedded color profile, which is always for me N/A.
Result: images look ok, but actually look no different with color managment on or off - even AdobeRGB onesĪCDSee shows the color space for any images I shot in sRGB as sRGB, if I shot them in adobeRGB then it just says "uncalibrated". Same as above but I set the input default profile to be the same as the monitor profile (no reason, just trying things) Result: all images are way way off - and generally look super contrasty and blown outĬase 2: (after trying a few random things) Output set to basic (ie not the print proofing set up) Monitor profile is set to the one I created with color munki calibration system I enable color management with my default input to sRGB and the tick box to use embedded profiles when found. I have also found ACDSEE pro 2.5 completely confounding regarding color management and I think it is just broken. I feel I just need to share the frustrations.

I already know three friends that switched from PC to Mac just for the photo software alone! Adobe needs to wake up and smell the coffee and design an easy editor/viewer like Picasa only with a few more enhancements.I've just been doing some more playing around trying to get ACDSee to work properly for me (fyi I am running vista 64 with a custom monitor profile created with ColorMunki) Camera is D300 usually PSE and PS CS2 STINK for a novice and WILL lose market share as more novices start using photo software. So far I like Picasa best then ACDSee second for ease of use. So what are you using as you can see I'm not afraid to buy more software?
The only program with good sharpening that is easy is Picasa but you can't save sharpening due to a bug in the software. Each program has it's strong points but not one of these programs makes it easy or quick. None of these programs with the exception of Picasa is easy and quick but Picasa is buggy and has NO support. I currently have iFranview, Picasa, PhotoShop Elements 5.0, PhotoShop CS2, Paint Shop Pro, ACDSee Pro and MS Digital Image Suite.
I'll bite which other program are you using that is easier and only a few clicks away to better pictures.
