Scanner profiles invalid in Photoshop
Have Adobe decided that ICC scanner profiles are invalid? They worked fine last week in both 2024 and the Beta, now when I assign any scanner profile in either version of PS (and on different computers) the following warning appears: "Could not complete the Assign Profile command because the ICC profile is invalid.” The profiles won’t preview when you use the Assign menu either. — Martin Orpen Idea Digital Imaging
It works fine on this end (with a custom profile I made for an Imacon scanner). Andrew Rodney http://www.digitaldog.net/

I’ll bet your profile uses XYZ PCS. Try a profile which uses Lab PCS. None of the Lab PCS scanner profiles I’ve built for my drum or flatbed scanners will Assign with the latest versions of PS. They work fine with old versions of PS (and have worked perfectly for years). I just found a couple of canned Epson scanner profiles which are Lab PCS and they won’t work either. — Martin Orpen Idea Digital Imaging
Martin I concur. I have a few hundred scanner profiles lying around that work in older PS versions but I can’t find any that work in PS 2024. I had not noticed until now. Most of the input profiles I have were either made in i1Profiler or Basiccolor Input, FWIW. Add this to the list of color management related things that used to work in Photoshop, but no longer do.

Andrew do you have any constructive thoughts to add here? IE: Is more than your one Imacon profile working? What software are your scanner profiles made with? Do you have a variety of profiles made from different software and are they all working? And are you on MacOS PS 25.2.0? Martin, it could be good troubleshooting to send Andrew a profile that’s not working on your system and see if it's working on his. Scott Martin www.on-sight.com Imaging Science for Art

Yes, file a (proper) bug report to Adobe. Links to do so were provided. I think some people enjoy complaining almost as much as they enjoy doing nothing about it. Andrew Rodney http://www.digitaldog.net/

Hi Scott Yes, I’ll send Andrew a small scanner profile via email. My testing shows that the versions of Photoshop 2024 and the Beta release that were updated in the last few days are unable to preview or assign scanner profiles that use Lab PCS. Versions prior to this work as expected. I noticed this because I was able to assign profiles to images on a scanning job that I was working on on December 1st. When I tried to pick up where I left off on the same job this morning it was impossible to assign the profiles that were been used without a problem less than a week ago. I tried another Mac which has the same version of PS and it won’t work either. Like yours, my scanner profiles have been built in i1Profiler — so this could be vendor specific, but I think that it is more likely something to do with the Lab PCS.

I was hoping to be spared from this issue, but today I lost access to over 100 profiles, most of which I frankly don't use, but some very important ones are showing but can't be activated. I'm using a Mac Studio on Ventura. I tried profile medic in Chromix Colorthink Pro and Colosync was no help either.

Hi John Install or use any version of Photoshop prior to 25.2.0. It’s a bug in Photoshop, so the profiles don’t need fixing… Photoshop does. — Martin Idea Digital Imaging
I don't understand why such a thing isn’t a big enough deal to become a broadcast item that’s loud and clear on lists such as this - or did I miss that? Henry Davis
