Re: Mac10.8 and photoshop icons flat
This is some of the weirdness I am seeing, any test image that is assigned a profile in Photoshop CS6 and saved with a thumbnail, the Finder uses a flat and incorrect thumbnail. This even happens with an image that was saved with the correct EktaSpace RGB profile. All these flat Finder icons look the same but I can not determine which profile it is defaulting to. However, any test image that I convert to a profile, the Finder shows a closer match but gives me 3 different thumbnail results for 3 separate profiles. Since I converted to a Profile and since the 3 profiles used in testing are quite similar in gamut - GenericRGB, sRGB, and my Display profile made with BasICColor 5 - I expected to see the same results. The file with the correct profile and the Flat icon preview in Finder, well it previews correctly in Get Info and when using Quick Look, it also displays it correctly, but the Icon is hideous. Doyle you were correct. If I turn off the Thumbnail preference in Photoshop, "Image Previews," then the Finder builds and handles the icons correctly. So, that could work for me going forward but what about the other thousands of photographic icons I have that are not being handled correctly? Is there a way, a script perhaps, that will strip out the "Image Preview" or Thumbnails made by Photoshop? I suppose Adobe Bridge would simply build new previews for any image file without a thumbnail. And Doyle, you state the with Creative Cloud version of Photoshop, version 14, that Adobe has removed the preference to save a thumbnail? What a mess. Thanks, David

There should be a way to do that. If you use Path Finder instead of the Finder you can remove custom icons in the Get Info window.

Actually the dialog is still there (in CC) but it does not create custom icons.
What a mess.
That is an understatement!
Thanks, David

I don't see that here -- the Finder is NOT generating accurate icon colours. The 10.8 Finder looks as if it is converting images to GenericRGB and then ASSIGNING the monitor profile to them! The icon previews are darker and more saturated than both the original images and the preview that you get when launching Get Info. If I open the original images in Photoshop, convert to Generic RGB and then assign my monitor profile I then (and only then) get images that match their Finder icons. The 10.6 Macs we have here don't have this discrepancy between the Finder icons and the real images -- only the 10.8 Macs. And, the larger the display gamut, the more obvious the problem :-( -- Martin Orpen Idea Digital Imaging Ltd
