If the default profile is corrupted, misconfigured, or has restricted permissions, KeyShot may fail to generate the Color Lookup Table (LUT). Additionally, harmless terminal error messages can appear due to duplicate class implementations in system libraries. These are cosmetic and do not affect KeyShot functionality. ### Resolution 1. **Restart KeyShot** - In most cases, simply restarting KeyShot clears the LUT error. 2. **Verify and update color profile settings** - On **macOS**, go to: - **Apple menu \> System Settings \> Displays** - Under **Color Profile**, choose the profile you want to use. - If using a custom profile (e.g., Eye One Profiler), switch temporarily to a default macOS profile to test. 3. **Use ColorSync Utility to check profiles** - Open **ColorSync Utility** → go to **Profile First Aid** → click **Verify** to check for issues. - If issues are found, repair the profile. 4. **Reset ColorSync preferences** - Remove any custom profiles from: `~/Library/ColorSync/Profiles` - Restart your Mac. 5. **Update macOS** - Ensure macOS is fully updated for compatibility with display and color profiles. 6. **Regarding Terminal error messages (Bug ID: KEYS-28399):** - These messages appear due to duplicate class implementations in system libraries (e.g., libkwidgets.dylib, libanalytics.dylib, Crash Reporter). - They are **harmless** and can be ignored. - To suppress them, disable **“Show recent apps in Dock”** in macOS system settings. - [Technical Support](https://support.keyshot.com/en/knowledge-base/technical-support?hsLang=en#main-content) - [KeyShot Studio](https://support.keyshot.com/en/knowledge-base/technical-support?hsLang=en#keyshot-studio) - [Network Rendering](https://support.keyshot.com/en/knowledge-base/technical-support?hsLang=en#network-rendering) - [KeyVR](https://support.keyshot.com/en/knowledge-base/technical-support?hsLang=en#keyvr) - [Plugins](https://support.keyshot.com/en/knowledge-base/technical-support?hsLang=en#plugins) - [How-To](https://support.keyshot.com/en/knowledge-base/technical-support?hsLang=en#how-to) - [KeyShot Hub](https://support.keyshot.com/en/knowledge-base/technical-support?hsLang=en#keyshot-hub) - [KeyShot Web](https://support.keyshot.com/en/knowledge-base/technical-support?hsLang=en#keyshot-web) - [License Support](https://support.keyshot.com/en/knowledge-base/license-support?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Node-Lock](https://support.keyshot.com/en/knowledge-base/license-support?hsLang=en#node-lock) - [Floating](https://support.keyshot.com/en/knowledge-base/license-support?hsLang=en#floating) - [Subscription](https://support.keyshot.com/en/knowledge-base/license-support?hsLang=en#subscription) - [FAQs](https://support.keyshot.com/en/knowledge-base/faqs?hsLang=en#main-content) - [General FAQs](https://support.keyshot.com/en/knowledge-base/faqs?hsLang=en#general-faqs) - [Key VR](https://support.keyshot.com/en/knowledge-base/faqs?hsLang=en#key-vr) - [KeyShot Studio FAQ's](https://support.keyshot.com/en/knowledge-base/faqs?hsLang=en#keyshot-studio-faqs) - [KeyShot Web FAQ's](https://support.keyshot.com/en/knowledge-base/faqs?hsLang=en#keyshot-web-faqs) - [KeyShot Network Rendering FAQ's](https://support.keyshot.com/en/knowledge-base/faqs?hsLang=en#keyshot-network-rendering-faqs) - [KeyShot WebViewer](https://support.keyshot.com/en/knowledge-base/faqs?hsLang=en#keyshot-webviewer) - [Announcements](https://support.keyshot.com/en/knowledge-base/announcements?hsLang=en) - [Learning Content](https://support.keyshot.com/en/knowledge-base/learning-content?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Webinars](https://support.keyshot.com/en/knowledge-base/learning-content?hsLang=en#webinars) - [Quick Tips](https://support.keyshot.com/en/knowledge-base/learning-content?hsLang=en#quick-tips) - [Downloads](https://support.keyshot.com/en/knowledge-base/downloads?hsLang=en) - [Best Practices](https://support.keyshot.com/en/knowledge-base/best-practices?hsLang=en) [![Chill listening crop-3](https://support.keyshot.com/hs-fs/hubfs/keyshot-logo-blk-3d.png?width=63&height=24&name=keyshot-logo-blk-3d.png "Chill listening crop-3")](https://www.keyshot.com/) keyshot.com Help Center Copyright © 2026, KeyShot
