DPP color profile madness - I'm totally lost...

Nordic

Hi!

Sorry for x-posting this from another forum, but I'm completly lost!

I don't know, I think my DPP installation is faulty, or DPP is bugged, or I just don't get it. I just can not control the color-profile in which DPP exports images!

I made a test with detailed screenshots, it would be great if someone could explain to me what is going on...

Here are my settings in DPP for the first test:


As you can see, I tried to make DPP use sRGB for exporting the image.
Here is the Image BTW:


I exported the testimage using these settings:


Now, I open the image in Photoshop CS2.
First, these are my color preferences:


So, I would believe that PS should open the file just fine. The file should be in sRGB, as is the default workspace in PS.


But, the following happens:


I get a warning that the color profiles don't match. The image has adobeRGB embedded!


So, I tested the same RAW file with different settings in DPP:


and



The result is always the same. Photoshop says, the embedded profile is AdobeRGB:


Even more fascinating is the fact that this behaviour is different to yesterday, where I would end up with different colors and the profile 'sRGB v1.31 (Canon)' embedded into every image, regardless of the settings.
I already searched the web, but it seems that noone is aware of this...

Perhaps your camera is set to AdobeRGB, so there is an embedded profile before DPP ever sees it.

Thank you for your answer!

I SOLVED IT!! Or, someone on dpreview.com found my mistake:
In DPP, you can override the global settings (=the ones that I made) with individual settings / image. I didn't know that you could do that at all.
So, in this case, the image settings told DPP to use adobeRGB every time, no matter what I selected in the global options.

I could kick myself for overlooking that!
