P: Photoshop 25.2 & up Could not complete the assign profile command because the ICC profile invalid

@davescm the Adobe team has acknolwedged this is a bug with the Color Engine and will be resolved in an update. Not sure what more we can do on our end.

Thanks - I just tried both those profiles and got the program error. I can read them using ICCdump but cannot see what might cause them to fail. My other profiles load without issue.

@davescm, just messaged you a dropbox link with profiles that dont work for me.

Interesting - I couldn't replicate here - although I make my profiles with Argyll CMS

@davescm,Just tested mine and the issue is present with both V2 and V4 profiles created with Xrite studio.

(Edit: Thats trying to assign profile in photoshop to already opened file.)

PC user here, having the issue

Still need to know whether it is v2 or v4 profiles

We have various custom color profiles in photoshop, which were created with Xrite color targets and software to get more accurate color for scanned artwork and photos. Starting with Photoshop 25.2, there is an "Invalid Profile" error when trying to assign a custom color profile to an image. The bug is still there in Photoshop 25.3.1. The pc runs Windows 10, 64-bit. Screenshot below.

My issue involves a specific profile that is already embedded in various files that I have been able to open without an issue for years. Suddenly this profile is "Invalid" and cannot be assigned nor can I view an image properly that already has this profile embedded. 

Until this is fixed, it's possible to use the command line based ExifTool to embed an ICC profile (as well as remove it)!

Mac:

exiftool '-ICC_Profile<=/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Profiles/Recommended/sRGB Color Space Profile.icm' '/Users/username/Desktop/test.tif'

Win:

exiftool "-ICC_Profile<=C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\color\sRGB Color Space Profile.icm" "C:\Users\username\Desktop\test.tif"
