Canon DPP Problem - embeds wrong profile
« on: July 29, 2006, 07:50:37 pm »

In Canon Digital Photo Professional (DPP) v2.1.1.4 (on XP Pro SP2) I am finding that after processing the RAW to 16bit TIFF, I get the wrong profile embedded.  I have the DPP prefs set to "Default Working Space = AdobeRGB"; and I'm using a Canon 20D set to embed AdobeRGB.

When processing RAW files to 16Bit TIFF I have set the conversion options to embed the profile. When I open the Tiff file in Photoshop CS2, it reports the embedded profile to be "sRGB 1.31 (Canon)" - ie NOT Adobe RGB.

A check of the RAW files using DPP's info menu item confirms the image is in the AdobeRGB space.

If when processing the RAW files I turn off the check box for DPP to embed the profile, Photoshop now reports the embedded profile to be "sRGB IEC61966-2.1" - again, not AdobeRGB. So even if I tell it not to embed a profile, it still embeds one and again, not the one set to the program's default space.

PS CS2 is set to Preserve Embedded / Ask when opening and for what it's worth, the default RGB working space is Adobe RGB.

I can't find any mention of this problem anywhere - Googling or on Canon.com.

Suggestions anyone?

Hi,

Same version here, but DPP is embedding AdobeRGB no matter what color space I use in Default Working Space.

DPP is buggy and klunky. You're probably much better off using Bridge or Lightroom, especially if you color calibrate them to your camera.

I just fixed the problem on my end, so hopefully it'll fix things on your end too. During the actual convert and save dialogue box, there is a button that asks you to "embed the ICC profile", mine was not checked off, but once i did have it checked my problems went away. might work on your end too.
