I have pictures which are grayscale JPEGs. PS CS’ Browser shows them with a Creator called w981p-77 and as Color Profile "sRGB IEC61966-2.1" is shown.
PS CS discards the color profile stating is is not valid. (I understand this, since this is a _color_ profile for a grayscale picture).
Also when PS Browser first reads this picture, a color version of it is shown (!). Shortly afterwards the correct grayscale version appears.
I believe the color version is in the pic’s thumbnail and PS then generates its own thumbnail from the JPEG’s data.
Another application (iView Media) shows a color thumbnail that even has the wrong rotation. Here I believe there is a rotation tag not correctly interpreted.
Originally this pic was done with a Nikon Coolpix 950.
Does anybody know what this creator code w981p-77 is? I’d like to know which application messed up the data to avoid this stuff in the future
Thanks for any help!
