Hello from Russia!

I am have the Macbook with Mac OS High Sierra 10.13.1 and I am using Photoshop CC 2018. In PS I am set colors settings to sRGB for web development. But after rebooting or booting my Mac my system color profile switches to sRGB and I am can't switch it to LCD profile. Reinstalling OS helps me. Please help me!

Hi,

you can’t switch display profiles in photoshop, but that’s not what you are attempting - is it?

please explain whether you are switching the system profile in apple “system preferences” / “displays”?
that’s where the display profile should be selected.

Send a screenshot please

by the way, the “ColorLCD” profile is just a default created by Apple for the display, if you are doing photo editing of any importance the display system should be calibrated and profiled.

you’ll need a hardware colorimeter (or spectrophotometer) to do that.

I hope this helps

if so, please do mark my reply as "helpful" and if you're OK now, please mark it as "correct" below, so others who have similar issues can see the solution

thanks

Try to uncheck "Show only profiles for this monitor" below the profiles window and try to select any other profile ("Color LCD" should be the default, somewhere).

Reboot.

See what happens.

Changing color settings in Photoshop should not impact your monitor profiles.

Apologies if I misunderstand your question (it's a bit unclear). But:

You're not supposed to use the display profile in Photoshop. You need to work in sRGB and embed the sRGB profile in the file.

The display profile is a system profile. Photoshop will find it by itself, and use it to remap the numbers from sRGB into your monitor color space - thus representing the file correctly on screen. This happens automatically, on the fly.

If you need to directly compare the image in Photoshop, to a non-color managed web browser - use Proof to Monitor RGB (cmd+Y). This temporarily disables/bypasses the display color management chain. This will only show you how it looks on your own screen, it has no relevance whatsoever for other displays out there.

If I turn off my laptop and then turn it on, the monitor color profile is switched from LCD to sRGB and I am can't switch it. I am have this issue after installing PS 2018 and setting colors settings for PS documents to sRGB
