When opening a TIFF file with embedded ICC profile, Photoshop 25.2 complains "The embedded ICC profile cannot be used because the ICC profile is invalid. Ignoring the profile. [Continue|Cancel]"

 

 

 

Trying to Edit > Assign ICC profile fails as well with error "Invalid profile"

 

Adobe Photoshop Version: 25.2.0 20231121.r.196

Windows 10 64bit

Last working version: 25.1.0

Workaround: Downgrade to 25.1

I've just updated to 25.4.0 and the issue appears to be resolved. My custom ICC profiles work as before.

I just installed the PS Beta 25.4 m2455 and the problem (which was present in prior recent updates) seems to have been fixed. 

 

However, PS 25.3.1 still shows the problem.

I'm getting a very similar error when I attempt to Assign a custom scanner profile to a scan. My custom profiles always worked prior to 25.2, and downgrade to 25.1 works for me too. Here's a link to one of my custom profiles...

Here's an example ICC profile from May 2022, so some time ago. Worked always flawlessly. Generated by X-Rite i1Profiler.

I can send you the new ICC profile I made earlier, but can't see how to do that. Please can you advise?

Can you please post a custom ICC profile that's triggering this error so that we can debug the issue here? Thanks

Yes!

I followed mkubol19's advice and downgraded to 25.1 (I had to re-download it from Creative Cloud). It now works okay so I can carry on with work. Wasted about 3hours and increased blood pressure, which I can do without...

I have the same error in PS 25.2 also. When opening a Camera Raw file via Bridge I want to apply a profile to correct the way my camera sees the colours, but today PS is telling me that the profile is 'Invalid'. It was perfectly OK yesterday. I have reset the PS preferences and it has made no difference, they are still Invalid. I've just made a new profile from scratch in case the old one was corrupt and it's still 'Invalid'. What else can I try, or is this a bug?

Thank you,

Brian

Same type of error when I try to assign a custom scanner ICC profile to a TIF image in 25.2. Downgrade to 25.1 allows the function to work.
