I am in the process of moving my color setup from my Apple G4 under
Tiger to a G5 under Leopard (X.5.2). I've moved/copied/collected all my
profiles into the ~/library/colorsync/profiles folder and ran verify and
repair on the complete list. Problem is now that the Repair utility is
unable to fix many of the previously working profiles. Is there some
manual way to repair them? This is the most frequent error:
Library/ColorSync/Profiles/SC3000_GP_720.icc
Tag 'dmnd': Tag size is not correct. Could not be fixed.
Library/ColorSync/Profiles/SC3000_PQP_1440.icc
Tag 'dmnd': Tag size is not correct. Could not be fixed.
The 'dmnd' tag contains the device manufacturer -- it's not required for
color conversions, so the profiles will still work in almost every case.
A bunch of these are Epson factory provided profiles for my trusty 3000
and 1270 printers and I would hate to lose them.
Any ideas? Thank you...
You can try to re-install the profiles (I guess they are part of the
driver or utility installation), but it's quite possible that the dmnd
tag is also invalid in the original profile. I have seen many flawed or
not standard-compliant profiles from different vendors. That's not not
pretty, but as long as they basically work, there is no mandatory reason
to trow them away.
You can also try to fix the profiles by editing the dmnd in colorsync
utility: duplicate one of the profiles, edit the dmnd, save in and check
if profile repair still complains.
