Kirk,
How do your images look in other Apple applications like Preview and Safari?
I recently went through a bout of weird color management behavior with 10.3.6 very similar to what you describe. I don't use iPhoto so cannot attest to how it was affected, but Preview and Safari both acted exactly as you describe, even down to the bit about applying a monitor profile with a 1.8 gamma correction.


At the suggestion of Apple support I ended up archive and installing OSX (a total pain) but it did remove the offending corrupted folder and all was back to normal. Shortly after my ordeal, Jason Sewell, a poster at Rob Galbraith's forum pointed out that some color management issues can be traced to a corrupted (and well hidden) colorsync preferences file and supplied instructions on how to remove that file through the terminal. It solved the problem for a few others who were reporting similar problems but was too late for me so I can't personally endorse the procedure.

Here is a link to his instructions: http://www.jcsewell.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/c1/colorsync.htm

Here is a link to the rather lengthy thread: http://www.robgalbraith.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php? Cat=&Number=288730&page=3&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=3&vc=1

Use at your own risk. I hope it helps.

Ross
