Q: Oversaturated photos in iPhoto 08
Whenever I import or view photos in iPhoto 08 it applies the Camera RGB Profile and makes all my photos look oversaturated and red-ish. I attempted to change my camera's colorsync profile within the colorsync utility then I checked "embed colorsync profile" in iPhoto, but iPhoto still applies Camera RGB Profile. If I do not edit images in iPhoto the do not get saved with this colorsync profile, however if you do any type of editing in iPhoto they get saved with that profile. THIS IS EXTREMELY ANNOYING! The thumbnails look normal (as in, they dont have the Camera RGB Profile, they have no profile), but then when you double click, they get bigger and for a split second look normal, then they turn oversaturated.
I found the profile in my system files and deleted it (dont worry i saved a copy just incase.) This fixed the problem when viewing photos in iPhoto, as it no longer embedded Camera RGB Profile and the photos looked how they are supposed to, but iPhoto crashes everytime I try to import photos with the profile deleted from the frameworks folder.
P.S. I had almost the same exact problem with iPhoto 06. However, if I recall correctly, the Camera RGB Profile was not buried in the frameworks folder. After deleting that file for 06, I never had a problem. But in 08, it crashes every time I try to import.
PLEASE HELP! and let me know if anyone else if having this problem
Thanks,
Eric
