Color sync settings not working

Each time I open Photoshop the color sync setting I have chosen in Bridge turns off, and all apps revert to emulating an older version of the respective app with CMS deactivated. I have tried to restart Bridge and reset preferences, settings, cache etc. to no avail. Is there a fix for this?

    This is still happening for me and getting really annoying. It only started happening for me in 2024 version. Trying the marked correct solution doesn't work after a restart.

    The related annoyance is the constant changing of file association with beta applications. InDesign refuses to chage even after being instructed through Mac finder.

      Same problem, this is an old bug from 2018, hopefully Adobe will release another patch but for now trashing the ACEConfig file does seem to work for most.

      I have the same problem. every time I launch bridge, the color space has been reset to North American General Purpose 2. This is super anoying since Photoshop stays in ProPhoto and any CameraRaw adjustments look different when opened in Photoshop. How to fix this, short of setting the color anew every time I start bridge?

      Hi joernbphoto,

       

      I don’t know if this solves your problem, but I solved mine by deleting this file:

      ACEConfigCache2.lst

       

      On a Mac it’s located here:

      Go (in the finder menue, also hold down the option key) > Library > Preferences > Adobe > Color

       

      I hope this helps you!

      I have been having the same problem. Just trashed ACEConfigCache2.lst which seems to have worked.
