Hello,

Im running into a lil problem when wanting to open a file to edit on photoshop. Ive looked everywhere and i cannont find a solution, i have a macbook pro and recently updated software. after updating software i started running into this pronblem, i also have the new 2024 photoshop... it says 

"The embedded ICC profile cannot be used because the ICC profile version is not supported.  Ignoring the profile." 

i would really appreciate it if i can get some help from the Adobe Community!

Wenn ich eine Datei in Camera Raw bearbeitet habe und sie dann in Photoshop (Version 25.0 ) öffnen will bekomme ich folgenden Hineis: "ICC-Profil kann nicht eingebettet werden weil das ICC-Profil ungültig ist. Das Profil wird ignoriert."

Das ist der Fall seit ich auf Camera Raw  v 16.0 aktualisiert habe.

Um meine Datei in Photoshop weiter bearbeiten zu können muss ich die Anwendung schließen, und die Datei in Camera Raw erneut öffnen.

Photoshop (Version 25.0 )

Camera Raw  v 16.0

Windows 11

Hey @Augustin Bras. Welcome to the Photoshop Community. I'll help you figure this out.

Are you using an external monitor with the MBP? Does this happen with a specific series of documents, or do all documents behave similarly when opened in Photoshop?

This could sometimes be related to a corrupted monitor color profile. Try changing the color profile for your MacBook or the external display: https://adobe.ly/48UklyB

Keep Photoshop closed while you do this.

Thanks!

As you are on a Mac, you can use the following native SIPS command in terminal.app to remove the profile from the image (work on a duped file until you are comfortable):

sips -d profile 

Ensure that there is a space after "profile " and then drag the image into the terminal.app window to complete the path to the file and then press return to execute the command.

There is also a ColorSync AppleScript (paste the following AppleScript into Apple Script Editor and compile Script > Compile and then File > Save or File > Export). If you save it as an .app you can then drag files onto the app to remove the ICC profile:

(*
Remove
©2009 Apple, Inc.

Use sips to remove embedded profile and color management data from an image.
*)

on run
	display dialog "Remove the embedded profile from an image."
	set chosenFile to choose file with prompt "Choose an image " default location path to desktop folder
	open chosenFile
end run


on open draggedItems
	repeat with thisFile in (draggedItems as list)
		try
			-- use 'sips -d profile' to remove an embedded profile
			-- or use 'sips -d profile --deleteColorManagementProperties' to remove an embedded profile and other color related info
			set filePath to quoted form of POSIX path of thisFile
			set cmdLine to ("sips -d profile --deleteColorManagementProperties " & filePath) as string
			do shell script cmdLine
		end try
	end repeat
end open

For Windows, I would recommend downloading and installing ExifTool (also available for the Mac):

exiftool -icc_profile:all= 

Ensure that there is a space after "all=  " and then drag the image into the CMD.exe window to complete the path to the file and then press return to execute the command.

I'm experiencing similar symptoms, so there may be a bug.
What model of camera and data format are you using?
No symptoms occur with Canon's R6II CR3.

I have been using custom icc profiles for images using assign profile and this has worked great until updated to 25.2 30 Nov 2023. After the update my custom icc profiles do not appear in the list. I have an action that assigns the correct profile and when I use the action I get the invalid icc profile message...although this could be because Photoshop is not seeing them any longer.

Why are my icc and icm profiles not displaying in the Photoshop assign or convert profile list?

Thanks,

Mike

When I went back to Photoshop 25.1 the profiles work again.

[Chris_Giclee]

I updated to version 25.2 yesterday and got persistent 'Invalid Profile' messages when using my ICC profile intensive workflow, specifically when assigning a scanner profile to an image.

I updated to v 25.3 this morning and i had the same issue.

Going back to v 25.1 fixes the issue.

Hey, @David29028790hcy4. Thanks for adding the profiles. You've tagged Windows & macOS. We'll need more info. Please share a sample PSD & the system info from Photoshop Help > System info > Copy & paste into a text document > upload & attach here. 

Also, include a screenshot of the error you see. Photoshop 25.3.1 just went live recently, check if the issue exists.

Thanks!

Hey, @Chris_Giclee. Thanks for sharing the details. We'll need more info. Please share the system info from Photoshop Help > System info > Copy & paste into a text document > upload & attach here. 

I'll move this to discussions for now. If possible, share the ICC profiles & a video showing the workflow. Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Thanks!

Hi Sameer, I tagged it with the OS because posts required a tag and there was not one that specifically fit this bug. This error pops up in the latest PS 25.3.1. It does not happen in older versions. I use the extended support 24.7.2 as backup. I have spoked to several colleagues and they confirm this bug happens with all or most input profiles. Here is a link to the system info text file and a PSD image. You can use any RGB image to test. Use Edit>Assign Profile...

Thank you.

The team is looking into this now. Thanks for sharing the details.

@Sameer K this has happened before - this thread has some accepted solutions back in 2017:
https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/the-embedded-icc-profile-cannot-be-us...

[Mark30Croton]

those are windows based solutions but not Mac based

I have the recommendedcolor profile set but still get t he error message

[kevin stohlmeyer]

@Mark30Croton the team is escalating. It's affecting both Mac and Windows - the older post is not the same issue apparently.

[Mark30Croton]

Thanks so much!

Also Bild öffnen, unten auf diesen Bild Link klicken und dann bei Workflow den Farbraum auf sRGB ändern.

@David29028790hcy4 

Is this what we should be seeing with your link?

[David29028790hcy4]

Yes that is the file delivery sevice we use. Looks like the oorhinal link I posted to the icc profile expired. I can repost. PSD file link is still active.

[kevin stohlmeyer]

@jane-e There isn't much more we can do on our end. The team has acknowledged its an issue they need to resolve with the Adobe Color Engine.
