Double display profiles?

Hi!


I have duplicate display profiles in my color display preferences:


User uploaded fileUser uploaded fileUser uploaded file


Why is that and how can remove them?


Thanks!

This is very common, and normally caused by third party apps installing some of the same profiles the OS already has on the drive.


Such as for Adobe RGB (1998). You'll find one copy in the /System/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/ folder. Then look in the /Library/ColorSync/Profiles/ folder. There may be another copy of it directly in that folder. But much more often, if you've installed any Adobe product, it will create two aliases that point to a Profiles and Recommended folder. You'll find the second instance of Adobe RGB (1998) in the Recommended folder.
