ProphotoRGB wrong gamma in Photoshop

As of today, when I send an image from LrC to Photoshop, the image is being displayed incorrectly.  Using ProphotoRGB as the PS working space, colors are oversaturated and the image is too dark.  When I assign the profile ProphotoRGB gamma 1.4 in Photoshop, the image looks correct.

    I believe I've found the source of the problem and its solution.  I recently profiled the monitor using Calibrite Profiler version 1.10.  (This version of the software fixed a bug which caused calibration to abort when the chosen display type was GB-LED.)  I just discovered that when I revert to a profile calculated with Calibrite Profiler version 1.05, images are displayed correctly in both Lightroom Classic and Photoshop.  

     

    I've alerted Calibrite support.  Thanks to all who posted their suggestions here and particularly thanks for pointing to the monitor profile as being the issue.

    Calibrite support has requested that we delete this temporary workaround.

    1. Click "File" in the Menu Bar, choose "Save As", click "Save", and select "Replace".
    2. Close ColorSync and then shut down and restart the Mac.  Images should view properly in Photoshop now."

    Before you do this, it would be great and useful if you could upload the original (and fixed) profile to something like Dropbox. I'd love to look inside them and see just what this 'fix' is supposed to be doing.

      @erudolph 

      Do you use PC or Mac ?
      Do you have installation file for calibrate profiler in version 1.0.5 that you can share with me? Google drive, drop box?

      Totally agree this is a Calibrite Profiler bug.

      I think that CC Profiler supports the Colorchecker Display Plus.  Give it a try!

      Can I use ccProfiler instead of Calibrate Profiler?

      Hi 

      I've got the same problem using the latest calibrate profiler version 1.1.1

      how I can get version 1.0.5? It's now available on this website ...

      @erudolph 

       

      Another thread here, using Caibrite, exactly same symptoms:

      https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/darker-photos-in-ps-than-in-lr/m-p/13843608#M736752 

       

      I'm thinking at this point there's a bug in Calibrite.
