About Profile First Aid:

Profile First Aid verifies the contents of ICC profiles installed on your computer. Errors are reported if any profiles do not conform to the ICC profile specification. Although some errors are unlikely to cause problems under typical usage, it is a good idea to repair any profiles that do not conform to the ICC profile specification.

One important component of an ICC profile, the description tag, contains up to three different names for a profile. This allows the profile name to be displayed in different languages or on different computer systems. Applications typically use one of the available names to show profiles in a list or pop-up menu. If you have profiles installed in your system that do not display in the ColorSync control panel, then you should run this utility to repair them.

Using Profile First Aid:

Click the Verify button to begin a verification process or the Repair button to verify and repair all installed profiles. Clicking the Verify button will report any problems with installed profiles without making any changes. Clicking the Repair button will report any problems with installed profiles and attempt to fix the problems.

Note: It is a good idea to make a backup of your profiles before initiating the Repair function.

To stop the verify or repair process once it has begun, click Stop.
