Hello, MoRoW-.


Thanks for getting back to us here in Communities.


From your screenshot it does appear that these certain profiles can't be accessed are from Adobe. Did you install/remove anything from Adobe recently?


What happened in a test user account? Did you still have issues with the color profile?


Also, try resetting your permissions using this link to see if it helps:


Resolve issues caused by changing the permissions of items in your home folder


You also mentioned image. For clarity, are you only having troubles with images? Or is it your entire display where the color seems off?


Best regards.

Hello, MoRoW-.


Welcome to Apple Support Communities.


From what I've read is that you can't adjust the color profile on your MacBook Pro. What happens when you try to change it? Do you get any errors?


These articles may also help:

I would also suggest seeing if you can change these settings in a test user account and safe mode:

Use safe mode to isolate issues with your Mac


Keep me updated.


Cheers!

Hello, thanks for your reply.

When I try to change the color profile-nothing happens, no errors, it just stays the same as it was in all the presets. Booting in safe mode also did nothing, image was still broken.

And color sync's first aid says that some files are locked but I repaired all the permissions for all the folders in it.


Btw sorry for my bad english if it's really bad ;)
