Incompatibility with X-Rite color management profiles

 
Symptoms

FotoStation creates thumbnails and previews very slowly on systems that have been calibrated with X-Rite color management tools. 

Cause

FotoStation has a known incompatibility with X-Rite color management profiles. Hence, if FotoStation is set to use any X-Rite color management profile or is configured to use the system default profile (which, after X-Rite calibration would be an X-Rite profile) for thumbnails and previews, the generation of thumbnails will seem very slow.

Solution

Configure FotoStation to use a different color management profile for thumbnails and previews.

To do so:

• Open the File menu and choose Configuration. (FotoStation - Configuration on Mac)
• Expand the General node and choose Color Management
• Disable Use Fotoware Default Profile for thumbnails and previews and choose another, non-X-Rite profile from the list.
• Click OK to save the changes and close the configuration window.
