Hello everyone.

I'm been having a problem with the color profile conversion of some documents I've scanned. I'll try to detail it in images (sorry for my bad english).

I've created an .icc profile of my Epson scanner with a color calibration target. In Photoshop, I assign this profile to my raw .tif images, and it all works ok.

When i try to convert it to a common color profile (say, sRGB), although the colors are still similar in the preview...

...they will turn reddish when I click OK. If I convert them to ProPhoto RGB, they will look OK on Photoshop, but also reddish on MacOS's Preview.

Any idea on how to solve this? It would be most apprecciated.

Thanks in advance!

I would contact Argyll customer support or forum if having issues with their software

After a scan, you open the document in PS: it does or doesn't have an embedded profile? Make sure Color Prefs are set to notify you of this.

Odd, but maybe this will work. First, try disabling GPU in the preferences (Preformance tab). Any better?
If not, recalibrate and build a new ICC display profile, the old one might be corrupted.
If you are using software/hardware for this task, be sure the software is set to build a matrix not LUT profile, Version 2 not Version 4 profile.
If turning OFF GPU works, it's a GPU bug and you need to contact the manufacturer or find out if there's an updated driver for it.
