CS3 color profile location

I'm presently using Photoshop for Windows in CS3 extended.  I have attempted to clean up and organize my color profiles.  I do this in Windows/system32/spool/drivers/color but when opening Photoshop and selecting profile for either printing or profing I find all of those I deleted present and some just added not present so there is obviously another location that Photoshop is finding profiles.  Where is it and can the profiles be edited?
Thanks in advance for help

Chris Thanks for answer - however, I have rebooted and they are still present/not-present. Is there a folder under Adobe that also has profile list?

  • Where is color sync located (not color utility) which is required to download icc profiles? Dolores

    Where is color sync located (not color utility)?  I am downloading an icc profile from Ilford paper and the instructions say to first download into downloads, then move to Library.  This I did.  But I cannot find Color Sync to move the profile into.  When I did the "search" the list that turned up was not applicable. After that it needs to go to Profiles inorder that Lightroom 4 paper profiles list can receive it and be able to print according to the profile.  How will I find Profiles?Thanks, Dolores  P.S. I have successfully downloaded profiles before, but this time I am stumped.

    Where ICC profiles live on different operating systems
    Windows 7, Vista and XP:
    \Windows\system32\spool\drivers\color
    Win98/Me - Windows/System/Color
    WinNT - WinNT/System32/Color
    Win2K- WinNT/System32/Spool/Drivers/Color
    WinXP - Windows/System32/Spool/Drivers/Color
    On a mac, it's Library/ColorSync/Profiles either in the root or user
    Epson places their profiles inside a package (a self- contained group of files) found in Main LibraryÆPrintersÆEpsonÆ SP2200.plugin*ÆContentsÆResourcesÆICC Profiles.

  • Location of color profiles?

    I have color profiles listed in Aperture as choices that are not in the library>color sync>profiles folder. I would like to delete the ones I no longer use. Is this possible? Where are they located?
    Thanks,
    Jacob

    They can be an a bunch of different locations under /System/Library, /Library and /Users/username/Library - the easiest way to figure out what and where they are and manipulating them is to use ColorSync Utility. Click on the profiles tab and then the profile name - it will list it's location.
    You can then go there in finder and do what you wish.

  • How do I load a color profile onto my CS3?

    My printer has requested that I work in CYMK, GRACol2006_coated1v2.icc color setting.  I can't find it on my list of profiles.  My printer has sent me the file.  How do I get it into my pull down list?
    Thanks in advance.

    Profiles need to be added via Windows's color management. Put the profile in C:\Windows\System32\Spool\Driver\Color along where the other profiles are and it should show up as a printer profile. You can also put them in Adobe's color folder C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Color\Profiles.

  • Hidden color profiles

    A profile which appears in Windows/System32/Spool/drivers/color does not appear in the Printer Profile Window of the Print Window.  A second profile does appear there but not in Windows/System32/Spool/drivers/color.  This is after twice rebooting my WIndows XP system, running Photoshop CS3.  Any suggestions, please?

    Catpearl,
    On my WinXP system, my default color profile directory is WINNT/System32/Spool/drivers/color.  First check that.  I was on Win XP Home, and it varies from one version to another.  It's probably right the way you have it, but double check to be sure.
    I assume you are printing from Photoshop using "Print with Preview"?  If so, you can instruct Photoshop to select a profile and rendering intent in the PS Print with Preview dialog box and it should find the profiles if they are in the right location.  If you install profiles when PS is open, you may have to shut down PS and restart so it sees them.  If you set the profile in PS's PwP, then turn off color management in your printer driver so you don't do double color management and conversion (butt ugly).
    If you are selecting profiles in your driver, it may or may not see custom profiles.  Not sure, since I always use PS print with preview when printing from Photoshop and select profiles there, or I use the PS print plugin that comes with my Canon iPF6100 printer (which bypasses the O/S completely, uses a 16 bit print stream, and talks directly to the printer...very cool and well thought out).
    It could be you have profiles in the wrong location, your printer driver doesn't see them, you have a  corrupted file, or there is a glitch in the driver installation.  Just guesses.  Also, it could be your driver settings....if you select certain settings, it may just look for the "canned" profiles that were installed with the driver.  Grasping at straws, since I don't know you printer model, settings you are using, what you are using to print, etc.
    Hope this triggers some ideas and investigation that pays off.

  • Snow Loepard and Color Profiles...

    I don't know if this post belongs here or in the InDesign forum...
    I just upgraded to Apple's Snow Leopard and am using CS3 and am printing to an Epson Stylus Photo 1400. Suddenly, all of the Epson profiles that were once available in the Adobe print dialog boxes are missing.
    Well, that's not entirely true... I can still see all of the Epson profiles when I print from Photoshop but they are missing from the InDesign and Illustrator print dialog boxes. I searched my hard drive for files with the same name as the color profile, such as SP1400 PQIJ or something like that, but I do not find any files by those names.
    Epson tech support had be re-install the printer driver but the problem remains...any ideas? (BTW, I can also see the Epson color profiles then printing from Apple's Safari or Apple's Mail.app.)

    I got the Epson profiles from:
    Library/Printers/EPSON/InkJetPrinter2/ICCProfiles/
    From there, I selected my printer, Control clicked on it and choose View Package Contents. I moved these profiles to the location mentioned in my previous post.
    I think Apple and Epson are trying to keep the profile files hidden, so that the computer will pick the proper profile after the user chooses the printer and paper they are printing to in the Print dialog box.
    I think Adobe should adopt this workflow, too. If we choose a paper type and printer in Apple's print dialog box, InDesign should recognize this and choose the proper profile in the InDesign print dialog box.
    If Adobe is listening, there is another issue, as well. Since installing Snow Leopard, I can no longer print full-bleed on size Super-B paper, 13"x19". There is a white border on the left and right edges. But, this may be an Apple/Epson problem...

  • Correct Color Profile in Keynote '09 (or '08)

    I have been tasked with putting together a photography presentation for six photographers. The presentation will be projected (with two Epson projectors and six color monitors) in Keynote ’09 (and ’08) for a one-night photographer’s gallery exhibit. One of the concerns raised by one of the photographers who has used Keynote (not sure the version, but probably ’08 or earlier) is that there is a "*color shift*" that occurs from the original saved image. All images are exported from (Apple) Aperture, (Adobe) Lightroom, and (Adobe) PhotoShop CS3-CS5 using the Adobe RGB 1998 Color Profile.
    All photographers (including myself) are working with Aperture, Lightroom, or PhotoShop and are saving their final images with the Adobe RGB (1998) ICC color profile.
    Is there a way to ensure “correct” color profiles are used in Keynote ’09 (and ’08)? If so, how is this done?
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Welcome to the discussions, anthonysan.
    There isn't a way within the program to do it, however it IS possible I think. I'll give you some tips to start down that path, and, if you have any questions, just post back here.
    First, go to Keynote preferences and, under General Preferences, choose "Save new documents as packages". Next, create a new document (white theme), change the Master to blank, and place three rectangles on the first slide, each with an EASY to define color. (By "easy to define" I mean pick colors that you would be able to discern numerically, for example 100% red, 100% black, 100% green, etc.) Finally, double click inside each shape and add some unique text. I'm using "firstone", "secondone", "thirdone".
    Now, save that document, then right-click (two-finger-click, control-click) on it's icon in the Finder. You should see an option to Show Package Contents. Select that and you should then see a few folders and some files. You're looking for index.apxl.zip. Double click that one to unzip it, then put the .zipped version in the trash (Keynote can read either just as well). Now, you should have an index.apxl file.
    When you double-click the index.apxl file, you'll have to choose to open it with TextEdit, then search for your unique text "firstone".
    Things get more detailed from this point, but it does lead to a potential solution. Let me know if you're following so far, and we can look at the mysteries within they Keynote file

  • IPhoto fix that worked for me (Coregraphics & Adobe Color Profiles issues)

    Ok, I posted a few days back in reference to getting help with my iPhoto. I do apologize on the fact this is quite the long post but maybe it will be easy to understand for those who are like me and not all that computer literate. I searched all the discussions and used all the different advice from different people but had no luck. I was able to FINALLY get iPhoto up and running again last night after doing just a few simple things. Please note that this may not work for everyone. Also please note that I AM NOT an expert in dealing with computers and working with computers. It's just that my ADD kicks in when something needs fixing and I won't stop till its finished. Below are a few lines from the crash report that I was getting each time I attempted to open iPhoto from my Macbook Pro Late 2011 running 10.8.3.

    -Run and attempt to repair any Color Profiles that may need to be fixed. There were 4 that could not be fixed for me. Locate these profiles and move them to your desktop (Note: I was still able to open and use all applications in my Adobe CS6 Master Collection after moving these profiles but you may want to check just to be sure if you are using Adobe).
    -Even though I had done this many times, run the Disk Utility App in your Utilities Profile and Verify and Repair any permission needed (For me, I had none at this time that needed to be repaired).
    -Next, I did an Apple Hardware Test. For me and the model Macbook Pro I am using, I had to restart my computer and when the screen went black for me at restart about the time the start up sound is about to come on, I pressed ALT-D. On some models you just have to press D. I did disconnect everything prior to doing this except the power cord and the Internet. I did a full AHT test that took about an hour or so. If you get an error code, be sure and right it down whereas your issue may be something different than mine and this will not apply to you. There were no problems from the test and then restarted the computer.
    -At restart I decided to get into the OS X Recovery by pressing Command-R to either start from scratch or find some other way to fix the issue because I was tired of racking my brain on this and was about to throw the computer in to the wall.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718 For help or questions on the OS X Recovery Process
    -Once in the OS X Recovery from the Mac OS X Utilities Pane, I selected reinstall and then I selected my current Hard Drive. Luckily by doing this (not that I was aware or anything, but none of my files or folders were deleted and it only reinstalled Mountain Lion and whatever else it needed)
    -This process took about an hour and once finished, I restarted my computer
    -I logged back in to my account but did not attempt iPhoto at this time. Instead I immediately checked to make sure that 10.8.3 was what was reinstalled back on my Mac. I then checked for Software Updates which I had a few and installed these updates.
    -I then went back to the Disk Utilities App from my Utilities folder and Verified the Disk and Disk Permission. To my surprise, many of the files that were in the iPhoto crash thread (posted above) were now showing up as needing to be repaired. I repaired what needed to be repaired.
    -I verified all my Color Profiles to make sure none were showing up again (which there were none that needed to be repaired)
    -I did a check check of some Adobe CS6 Apps just to verify they were opening and working correctly
    -I restarted my Mac (Once again) and logged back in. I opened up iPhoto and everything worked and is working PERFECTLY. I then re-connected my printers and my Time Machine and performed a back up before importing photos back in to iPhoto. I DO WISH NOW THOUGH THAT I HADN'T DELETED AND RE-INSTALLED IPHOTO but it is nice being able to start over and organize iPhoto a little better than before.
    I am sorry this is such a long post but for people like me who are not professionals in the computer department, sometimes it's good to "dumb" things done so that us "average joes" can understand a little better. Hopefully this will work for those who are having issues like mine. Thanks for all the help from everyone from my previous posts.

    Tom:
    To help prevent loss like you experienced see the tip at the end of my signature.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Photoshop CS3 color management "Save for Web" problem

    This problem is getting the best of me.......
    After spending 3 full days researching this problem, I am no closer to finding an answer than when I started. I still cannot produce a usable image through the "Save for Web" feature of Photoshop CS3. I have read web page after web page of "Tips, Tricks and Recommendations" from dozens of experts, some from this forum, and still I have no solution... I am exhausted and frustrated to say the least. Here's the simple facts that I know at this point.
    I have a web design project that was started in PS CS1. All artwork was created in photoshop and exported to JPG format by using "Save for Web". Every image displays correctly in these browsers (Safari, Camino, FireFox and even Internet Explorer on a PC).
    I have recently upgraded to PS CS3 and now cannot get any newly JPG'd image to display correctly. My original settings in CS1 were of no concern to me at the time, because it always just worked, and so I do not know what they were. I have opened a few of my previous images in CS3 and found that sRGB-2.1 displays them more or less accurately. I am using sRGB 2.1 working space. Upon openning these previous image files, I get the "Missing Profile" message and of course I select "Leave as is. Do Not color manage". CS3 assumes sRGB-2.1 working space, opens the file, and all is well.
    The problem is when I go to "Save for Web", the saturation goes up, and the colors change. The opposite of what most people are reporting. Here's another important point... new artwork created in CS3 does exactly the same thing, so it's not because of the older CS1 files.
    I have tried every combination of "uncompensated color", "Convert to sRGB", "ICC Profile", etc. while saving. I have Converted to sRGB before saving, and my monitor is calibrated correctly.
    I have tried setting the "Save for Web" page on 2-up and the "original" on the left is already color shifted before I even hit the "Save" button. Of course, the "Optimized" image on the right looks perfect because I am cheating by selecting the "Use Document Color Profile" item. Why do they even have this feature if doesn't work, or misleads you?
    Does anyone have any ideas what could be happening here? Why is this all so screwed up?
    CS1 worked fine out of the box.
    Final note: I do have an image file I could send along that demonstrates how it is possible to display an image exactly the same in all 4 of the browsers I mentioned with no color differences. It is untagged RGB and somehow it just works.
    I am very frustrated with all of this and any suggestions will be appreciated
    Thanks,
    Pete

    >> First of all... I'm using an Adobe RGB image master... I open it and get the Profile Mismatch Screen... I choose Use Enbedded profile... all looks well. Next I go to Proof Setup > Monitor RGB... again all looks well, no change that I can tell.
    This has further confused the issue on several points, not the least of which version PS you are doing this with?
    >> AdobeRGB> Convert to Profile > Working Space sRGB-2.1... all still looks well... but now, when I go to Proof Setup > Monitor RGB... I see the insane oversaturated look that is driving me nuts.
    That is your strongest clue...it sounds like you have a bad system or bad monitor profile. To rule out the monitor profile: Set sRGB as your monitor profile in System Prefs> Displays> Color.
    >> Adobe RGB image master... I open it and get the Profile Mismatch Screen... I choose Use Enbedded profile... all looks well. Next I go to Proof Setup > Monitor RGB... again all looks well
    That doesn't make sense, stripping an embedded AdobeRGB profile should desaturate the color in Softproof MonitorRGB, especially the reds -- you have something wacky going on there.
    At this point I think you need to review the links and get a grip about how color management and profiles work...
    BTW, forget about setting ColorSync in PS COlor Settings, use Adobe ACE.
    MO,
    I think SFW is fixed under CS3 :) By default it Converts to sRGB and strips the profile.

  • CS3 color management won't match prints

    Okay, I know there are a lot of boneheds who can't figure out how to set up color in Bridge and CS3 but I am at my wits end on this so bear me out.
    Windows XP and CS3
    Bridge is set to; Enable color management in Bridge
    RAW conversion is SRGB
    CS3 color settings/working space set to SRGB
    Print color management is set to SRGB and Photoshop manages colors
    Printer is set to "application manages colors" (HP B9180)(btw, I have also tried it set to SRGB)
    Image looks the same on Bridge, RAW conversion, CS3 and print screen (dark)Image looks LIGHTER when viewed with any other program (including windows picture and fax viewer, HP print program, Paint Shop Pro and online) and prints to match the lighter image both on my HP and from my lab!
    The closest I have been able to get to a total sync is to set Photoshop's color settings to "Monitor color," and uncheck the box in Bridge that says "apply color management settings in Bridge." In that case, Bridge and CS3 produce a lighter image but RAW conversion is still darker. Plus, who the hell wants to use monitor color in Photoshop!?

    That's pretty much it David... I could get Photoshop to match my prints but then any other program would show the prints as being waaaay off-color.
    Today I bought a spider2express and color balanced my monitor. Now everything seems to look in sync and my prints match very close (a little warm for my tastes..). Tech support at Photoshop told me it was a calibration issue but I thought that was bull... i mean, how can calibration make an image that looks different in two different programs look the same? Well, it does. As far as I understand it now (layman's terms)when you look at an image in windows viewer ot explorer or any other non-color management program you are looking at the image based on your monitor profile. When you look at the same image in photoshop the program uses it's own color management which then gets filtered through your monitor program to your eyes (but not to the printer). If your monitor profile is bad, the image looks bad.
    Or something like that :)

  • How Can I add a color profile to OS X 10.8.4?

    How Can I add a color profile to OS X 10.8.4?
    I've tried to locate the color profile folder but it's not availble.

    Hello gipseyeyes,
    It sounds like you're trying to add a ColorSync Profile to your Mac.  I found a few resources that may help.
    First, I recommend reviewing the following article:
    Mac OS X: How to Create a ColorSync Profile Used By Every Account
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA22329
    The note in step 6 from that article is particularly useful for your situation:
    Note: You may need to make some of these folders if they do not exist.
    Also, the user Library in Mountain Lion is hidden, so you will need to follow these steps to get to "~/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/":
    OS X Mountain Lion: What is the Library folder?
    The Library folder contains files used by OS X and your apps, including your personal fonts and preferences. The Library folder is hidden. If you need to open it, make sure you are in the Finder, hold down the Option key, and then choose Go > Library.
    You can find the full article here:

  • Lightroom/CS3 color issues on Mac

    Hello,
    I've seen a few posts about color issues, and I've tried following the advice posted, and I'm still having a problem. My photos appear fine in PS and in Lightroom (as well in in Mac's previewer) but when I upload them to the web or view the saved file on another computer, they appear severely desaturated with a blue tone.
    I'm using running Mac OX X on a new MacBook Pro. I have Lightroom and CS3 installed and fully patched.
    I am shooting in RAW with my Nikon, and importing the photos to Lightroom. In Lightroom, I choose "edit in CS3" and then the file opens in CS3. My settings for that are to open it as a 16 bit PDF ProPhoto RGB. My color settings in CS3 are set to ProPhoto RGB working space, preserve embedded profiles, ask when opening and pasting.
    The files still look great when I open them in PS, and then I save them and when I look at them again in Lightroom they also look good (the same). However, if I export them as .jpgs from Lightroom, or save them directly from CS3, they lose their color quality.
    I've found that if I change my proof setup to "monitor RGB" then I can see the photos the same way they appear when saved (the bad, desaturated version).
    I would really appreciate any help anyone could provide. I am generally happy with my Lightroom/CS3 workflow, but I'm totally baffled with this color issue.
    Emily

    Well, I think what you need to do is get a better grasp on the fundimentals of color management-which is a bit beyond the scope of what the forums can offer you.
    The bottom line is that Lightroom & Photoshop CSx (meaning past CS or actually even back to 7) can and does make use of display profiles (you can't turn it off even if Photoshop has a setting that makes you think you can). An image in Lightroom and Photoshop is always color managed...outside of an app that is color management, all bets are off.
    Save, assigning and converting to profiles are all very different. Photoshop CS3's color settings are absolutely critical because that's how you deal with managed and unmanaged color.
    Until you learn different, I would suggest that you set your CS3 color settings to North American PrePress 2....if you want images for the web, Convert To sRGB or use the new Save For Web (which can now do the sRGB conversion-finally).
    For other uses and purposes, I would suggest that you seriously consider using Adobe RGB-until such time that you understand the implications of using Pro Photo RGB.

  • How do I delete a display color profile?

    How do I delete a display color profile?  I created several over time when calibrating monitor with a Datacolor Spyder.  I have not been able to delete any old profiles because the "Delete Profile" button is grayed out and not responding.  I repaired permissions but that didn't help.

  • Color Profiles visible in a pallete/panel, like in Photoshop?

    Is it possible to view your InDesign document's current color profile? I can see the profile in Photoshop (Info Panel) and in Illustrator (Document Info Panel) but not in InDesign. Is there an easy way to view the profiles of a placed document in any of the panels?
    Thanks a lot!

    To view a placed file's profile in ID's info palette you have to select the placed file with the direct selection tool (don't select the frame holding the file). If the placed art has no profile you will see the ID doc's profile (which is assigned to untagged placed files).
    To view the ID doc's profiles you have to choose Edit>Assign Profiles...
    You could also view the InDesign document's profiles via scripting. Save this AppleScript in your scripts folder and assign a key command to it:
    tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
    set myDocument to active document
    set rgbprof to RGB profile of myDocument
    set cmykprof to CMYK profile of myDocument
    if rgbprof is "" then
    set rgbprof to "None (Color Settings Working RGB Space)"
    end if
    if cmykprof is "" then
    set cmykprof to "None (Color Settings Working CMYK Space)"
    end if
    display dialog "Documents CMYK profile is: " & return & cmykprof & return & return & "Documents RGB profile is: " & return & rgbprof
    end tell

  • SRGB Color Profile Appears Dull in All Adobe Applications

    I just installed CS3 in Windows Vista Ultimate x64 on my PC and I have my working color space set as sRGB. The color is dull when opening documents in any Adobe application with the working color space set to sRGB. The color is fixed if I change the working profile to my monitor profile which is "Monitor RGB - Dell 2407WFP-HC"
    When in the "Monitor RGB - Dell 2407WFP-HC" profile whenever I open an existing file Photoshop alerts me that the embedded color profile is different than my working profile (all of my existing files are managed as sRGB and on my previous computer the sRGB profile looked perfect.)
    Photoshop I could theoretically live with but the same problem occurs in Acrobat and changing the "Working Profile" in Acrobat has no change on how the sRGB managed PDF is being displayed. The same PDF will look fine on another computer.
    How do I get sRGB color to display correctly in Adobe applications and not look dull and muted?
    Additional Information: The problem is still prevalent when accessing the computer with Remote Desktop which leads me to believe it has nothing to do with my monitor or the video card I am using.

    I don't think so. But at least you fixed one of several problems ... so the situation now is better but still not perfect.

    It indeed is. I also have the Dell 2407WFP-HC, and the ICC profile that came with it is rubbish. Don't use it!
    When using sRGB as the monitor profile then Adobe applications will render colours the same way as non-colour-managed apps---i. e. everything else under Windows. So now you're having a consistent (but not correct) colour rendition across your whole system, inside and outside Adobe applications. This system-wide consistence is nice ... but problems may, and most likely will, arise as soon as you're trying to match the colour renditions of monitor and printer.
    As Tom just has pointed out, the problem is the 2407WFP's actual colour gamut which is not sRGB; it is significantly wider than that. So printed colours will appear muted, or less vivid, in comparision to the colours on the (improperly profiled) monitor. In order to solve this issue, you should use a proper monitor profile in the Color Management tab in the Display dialog in the Control Panel.
    This, in turn, leads to two problems. First---where to get a proper monitor profile from? As I said, the original Dell profile that comes with the monitor is badly wrong ... or at least mine is. If you, or anyone, know how to obtain a good canned ICC profile for the Dell 2407WFP-HC then please let me know. Second---as soon as you install a monitor profile that is different from sRGB (and then re-boot), non-colour-managed applications (notably Windows itself, and e. g. all kinds of web browsers) and colour-managed applications (e. g. all Adobe products) will render colours differently.
    If you want both at the same time---i. e. consistent system-wide colour rendition *and* proper colour management---then better switch to Mac. There's a reason why most graphics pros prefer Mac over PC.
