I am getting a very annoying “The given output ICC color profile cannot be used for export“ warning and since this warning appears I cannot see the image in the PL9.6 while attempting to perform cropping and local adjustments.
This issue emerged late yesterday after several weeks use with no issues.
Anyone got a clue how to fix this?
[Apple Mac Studio Ultra M1, running Tahoe 26.4]
Can you post a screenshot of your export dialog? Perhaps late yesterday you inadvertently changed the ICC profile in that dialog?
No change to export profile - I tried a number of stock/standard profiles including sRGB - but this gave no change.
However – POTENTIAL SOLUTION from google search:
Verify Profile Validity: Open the ICC profile in macOS ColorSync Utility to check for corruption – I ran this and discovered I needed to run first aid. I have 6 profiles I cannot find. BUT this did not fix the issue.
Reset Preferences: If the error persists, corrupted export settings might be the issue. Try resetting preferences, or ensure DxO PhotoLab has Full Disk Access in macOS Security & Privacy settings to write files.
I had to add DxO PhotoLab 6 and grant it full-disc access after restarting the error message went away !!!
I just had this happen with PL 10.2.
The cure in my case was simply to restart PL.
What is interesting is what seemed to cause it to happen. I already had PL open, with a photo in a partial stage of editing. At this time I realised I had not set up my monitor and room for photo editing* so I hit my automation to make that happen. One thing that happens is my Apple Studio Display is set to the “Photography (P3 D65)” display profile. Shortly after that changed, the message appeared. It would occasionally disappear and then reappear as soon as I tried to move a slider.
*When editing photos in my “normal” environment I find I am prone to leaving my images too dark. I set my (Philips Hue) room lights to 6500K, with a lower brightness (60%) and turn off the two that are in my peripheral vision. The monitor is set to the P3 D65 profile which also dims it and sets the white point.
I find that having edited photos in this environment to “look good”, they still look great when I set everything back to normal. (Brighter, possibly warmer.)
That’s by design. I do not fully understand why but I’ve read articles saying having the image too bright on screen is bad for working on colour fidelity.
If the display is not bright enough for you, you need to dim your room lights and they should also be emitting 6500K light for ideal results. This is not why I have smart bulbs, but it is a useful feature.
I also heard that but it is impossible to the dynamic of the picture, even under low light.
