P: Batch saving PNGs no longer keep color profile embedded

[brandona86632823]

Photoshop versions past 24.0.1, including the latest 24.3, are breaking my Actions and Scripts that batch save PNGs (Save as a copy) that are supposed to keep the color profiles embedded. Each time I run an action or script, the first PNG keeps the color profile embedded, but all subsequent PNGs save out "untagged".

One weird exception: I have one Action which saves out a PSD and PNG from each file with color profiles embedded. The original action saved out the PSDs first and then the PNGs. This was the first time I noticed the bug. I tried switching the order in the action to save out the PNGs first, then the PSDs, and the bug no longer occurred. Not sure why, but I wanted to pass that along.

All other scripts which save out (not export) PNGs have this bug. We cannot update until this gets fixed.

Hi @brandona86632823 

Let's make sure we're in a default state and there are no stale settings somewhere: 

Restore your preferences using this manual method:  

https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preferences.html#Manually  

Does it work correctly? 

If that doesn't solve it, you can quit Photoshop and put the Settings folder back. 

It may help if we could see your Photoshop System Info. Launch Photoshop, and select Help >System Info...and copy/paste the text in a reply.

I tried that to no avail. This has only started after version 24.0.1.

@brandona86632823 curious if you update to the recent release of Ps 24.4.1 and if this solves your issue?

[BTA-1138]

Unfortunately, it does not.

[BTA-1138]

Also, here is the Action and the Batch settings I am using:

[CShubert]

@brandona86632823 and @BTA-1138 would it be possible to share your action with the team to see if they can reproduce here?

Have either of you tried re-recording the same steps in a new action and what is the result?

[BTA-1138]

Sorry, both postings are from me (Brandon/BTA-1138). I must have opened one reply on my home email and another from my work email/Adobe account. 

In any case, yes, you can share the action with your team at Adobe. Thanks! The bug seems to happen during Batch only. If you have saved out a PNG manually and checked the "Embed color profile" option, then run the batch, the first PSD+PNG set saves out with the embedded profile, but each subsequent set saves out untagged. There seems to be an issue with the "Embed Color Profile" option not "sticking" like it used to. I've tried quitting/restarting Photoshop after manually selecting the "embed" option, and that doesn't fix it either.

[CShubert]

Thanks for the @brandona86632823 email update...

Please export and send the action to shubert@adobe.com

[BTA-1138]

Hi Cory, has there been any update on this? I've just tested the latest 24.5 version of Photoshop, and it still has this problem.

[CShubert]

@BTA-1138 did you share the action, we are not seeing it.

[BTA-1138]

Yes, I did, on April 20th. I'll try again from a different email address. There may have been some kind of security filter on that email with attachments. It will be coming to the email address you provided in the next minute.

[BTA-1138]

Hi, Cory. Did you receive my second email on Friday, May 26 from my Gmail account?

[Carolina24135221bmsp]

Photoshop 24.5,
and I'm having the same problem, the bug happen during Batch, doesn not keep mark the option ICC Profile in Action saving PNG.
I went back to version 23.5 and it was back to normal.

[BTA-1138]

I have just checked all versions from 24.0.1 up, and this issue appears for the first time in 24.2. So, 24.1.1 is the last version that works with Batching PNG files to keep the color profile embedded.

[BTA-1138]

I've appreciated your quick responses so far, Cory. I'm worried I'm no longer getting through now. This issue has severely hampered our work progress. No Script or Action that we write can overcome this inherent problem in the latest Photoshop builds. Can you please get back to me and let me know if you have or have not received my last email from my Gmail account with the Action you requested. Or possibly give me an update if you have received it and if you have been able to replicate the issue on your end? Thanks.

[PP32138406s7ku]

I'm having the same problem, up to and including Photoshop 24.7.0. Clearly a bug. Did @CShubert go dark? 

[CShubert]

@BTA-1138 no, I did not recieve anything. Could you try again? shubert@adobe.com

[BTA-1138]

Thanks @CShubert. I have just sent it from my Gmail account. I've put BTA-1138 in the email header. I've attached the action as a ZIP file. Please let me know if you do not receive it in the next 30 minutes. Thanks!

[BTA-1138]

I also posted this under another subject to see if I could get more eyeballs on it, and this user has also confirmed it on their end: https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-bugs/batch-saving-only-pngs-no-longer-embed-color...

[CShubert]

Thank you @BTA-1138 we got it. Will pass on to the team and see if they can pull anything out of it that will help.

Is this on Mac or Windows or both? Also, we changed the behavior of PNG saves, because some users wanted profiles and some didn't, when you first save as a PNG the checkbox for profile will be unchecked. Checking the Include Profile manually on the first file, should then, save future PNGs with this checkbox check automatically. If you aren't seeing that behavior, then this is a bug. I tried BTA-1138's action with show dialogs on and all of my PNG saves had the checkbox marked. So try saving a PNG manually and click the Include Profile and then run your action. This setting should remain sticky across sessions.

[BTA-1138]

I don't know about Windows, because we only use Macs at the office. Yes, checking the profile box on the first PNG saved out manually DOES in fact keep it that way -- IF you are continuing to save out PNGs manually. However, if you check it once for manual saves, and then try to save out PNGs using the Batch function, it un-sticks, and reverts back to being unchecked for every PNG batched out past the first one. Please try using the Batch function, because that is our workflow. We need to export PNGs with profiles in batches, 30+ at a time.

[PP32138406s7ku]

@tom attix This on macOS, I haven't tested on Windows. I had already tried your suggestion of manually saving a PNG with Embed Color Profile selected with the intent to make it sticky when the batch action runs. What happens is that the first image saved does include the profile but all subsequesnt images do not. After running the batch, if I go back to manually save a PNG, the Embed Color Profile checkbox is no longer selected. 

[PP32138406s7ku]

This appears to affect versions beyond 24.0.1, not exactly sure which version it started in though. I have a machine currently running 24.0.1 that works as expected. I was working a screen capture video to show it working correctly in this version, then I was going to update to 24.7 to show the issue. However I have a secondary issue now. For some reason the Creative Cloud app Updates tab says "You're up to date" and doesn't show any newer versions available. This is a 2015 iMac running macOS 12.6.8, so it's a little older but it meets all system requirements for Photoshop here

Photoshop system requirements (adobe.com)

Any idea why I can't update past 24.0.1 on this machine?

[CShubert]

Thank you all, the team is looking into this.
