Adding printer profiles to Lightroom

I am trying to add custom profiles to the Print Module.  I have never used outside labs before and want to do this now, , but when I enter custom, the pop up windows only gives me my installed printer profiles with no ability to add.  I am using a MAC and the printer that I want to use this time is a Noritsu 311.  I have the profiles, but can't seem to get them in to Lightroom.  Can anyone help me with this?

It worked. Thank you very much

  • Unable to load icm printer profiles in Lightroom 5

    I am unable to access correctly loaded RGB printer profiles in Lightroom 5. 
    In the print module when color management profile "Other" is selected no loaded profiles appear; and Lightroom usually freezes.
    Using Photoshop v6 on same computer I can access all loaded printer profiles. I have reloaded LR5.
    Does anyone have a solution or work-around for this problem?

    The "Include Display Profiles" checkbox is at the bottom of the list that comes up if you click "Other..." in the Lightroom Print Job panel. If this is the point where Lightroom freezes you won't get to it of course. So then the question is what prevents Lightroom from loading that list?  Maybe someone else has suggestions, so hang on for a while.
    Anyway, whatever the extension, the point is that the profile in question has to be the correct one for that particular printer/paper/ink combination. Apologies if this is stating the obvious, but you don't really have a choice between several, you just pick the right one. They install with the printer driver and are named for instance "Epson <model> Premium Semigloss" and so on, different profiles for different paper types.
    Or you can make your own profiles. I believe the ColorMunki, for one, lets you create printer profiles as well as monitor profiles.

  • Printer profiles in lightroom

    i own an epson 4000 pro printer when i go to the print tab of lightroom i cannot set printer profiles.

    I am having great difficulty with printer (Epsom Stylus r320) colour reproduction...what I see on my calibrated screen does not appear true on the printed paper image....I have tried to download various ICC profiles from Epsom but they all (5 of them) give too dark an image...compensating in the develop module sort of helps, but it destroys the whole idea of the WYSIWYG aspect of working in Lightroom....any hints out there for this dilemma?

  • Printer Profiles in Lightroom 4

    I have a Mac Mini and Lightroom 4.  I downloaded printer profiles from a local lab but don't know how to get Lightroom to recognize them for soft proofing and printing.

    You need to put them in the correct location for the system to pick them up. This is in /Library/ColorSync/Profiles/ or in ~/Library/ColorSync/Profiles. After you put the profile there, restart Lightroom and they will show up when you select other in the profile dialogs in Lightroom. Unfortunately in the last versions of Mac OS X, the finder hides these folders by default. Simply go into the Go Menu and select "Go to Folder" or hit Shift-command-G and type the above locations. The drag the profiles in the resulting finder window. If you're the only user on the machine either location is fine.

  • Problem Printer Profiles in Lightroom 1.2

    I am using a Canon Pixma 5300 printer, which produces very acceptable results in all CS suite programs using the sRGB Color Space Profile. However, the listings in Lightroom (taken from the Windows System 32 directory) show only Canon-specific profiles, which do not work well. I have found a makeshift solution by giving a copy of the sRGB Color Space Profile the same name as a Canon profile which I never use. This works well, but it seems a bizarre way of getting a standard profile to work. I can't help thinking there must be a simpler way of doing this, for example by getting Lightroom to list all the profiles available on my system. Does anyone have a solution to this conundrum?

  • Which printer profile do I use?

    I have a Epson Stylus Photo R360 printer connected to a Intel Mac running OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard.  I am currently using Adobe Lightroom 3 as my main image browser and would like to know what the correct profile is to use to gain desirable prints when using Epson Premium gloss paper.  At the moment I am trying to print Canon CR2 camera raw image files and find that when I try to output these they come out very dark and over saturated.  If I just use the "managed by printer" option and then the "layout" option in the print dialogue, I get better results but not perfect! Do I need to set up a different print profile within Lightroom?  If I turn off "managed by printer" in the Lightroom dialogue I get many profiles to choose from (see below) so would appreciate it if you could advise me on this.  I have turned off the printer management as shown below - if this is correct! Other than trying out each profile on the list I don't know what to do. I would greatly appreciate any help on this please.

    First, I second the previous post that your monitor needs to be calibrated and most important that the brightness is not set too high.
    Even if your monitor has been calibrated, the brighntess might still be too high. Strangely enough, some calibration softwares recommend a brightness that is too high.
    Your monitor brightness should be set to between 100 - 120, or else your prints will come out too dark.
    Secondly, when you select "managed by printer" make sure that in the printer's dialog you select proPhoto RGB. By default most printers (I don't know the Epson R360) are set to sRGB.
    LR by default (and it cannot be changed) uses proPhoto RGB (or to be precise a color space derived from proPhoto RGB).
    When you select "managed by printer", LR sends the image file to the printer as proPhoto RGB and the printer interprets it as sRGB. The result is a print that is overly saturated.
    So in a way you have to make sure that LR and your printer speak the same language. You can do it in two ways:
    1) Let LR manage the colors by selecting a profile for your printer AND the paper you are using. You then have to switch off your printer's color management by selecting "Application managed" (or similar wording) in the printer's dialog.
    2) Or you select "printer managed". In your printer's dialog you then have to select proPhoto RGB, or Adobe RGB but NOT sRGB. The prints will probably not be optimal when your printer's dialog does not give you the option of proPhoto RGB. If you have Photoshop, you could change the color space of your image to Adobe RGB or even to sRGB and thus achieve that your imgage's color space and the printer's color space match exactly.

  • Unable to get lightroom 2.7 to see new printer profile

    I installed a new printer profile from ilford into my windows 7 system.  Photoshop cs3 shows it in the profiles, but lightroom only has my canon printer papers.  I am runing 64 bit mode.
    Bart

    Dorin,
    Thanks a lot.  I didn't look in the pane but was jumping into the print itself.  The only thing strange now is that the new profile is not listed unless I check the "include display profiles".  The profile is installed as a ".icc" .  Is this correct?  Anyway I think you have solved my problem which was just me not looking in the right place.  Many thanks.
    Bart
    P.S. I should check as problem solved, but wanted you to answer the profile question if you can and didn't know if you would get this otherwise.

  • Lightroom 3 not accessing printer profiles

    I'm not able to access newly installed Epson R3000 printer profiles when I go to print in Lightroom 3.  The profiles do show up when I to print in PS3. I'm operating under 10.5.8 on my imac.

    You have LR set to not access Managed by Printer and can’t access from selecting “other” from the sub menu?

  • Epson Stylus Pro 3880 printer profiles N/A in Lightroom

    I just set up a new Epson 3880 and installed the printer driver. I could see the various Epson paper .icc profiles were being installed. But when I went to print from Lightroom they were not available in the print module when I chose Printer Profile "Other..." But when I print from Photoshop I see the 3880 profiles. And I cannot find 3880 profiles on my hard disk in either the system or my user libraries. I hope someone can solve this! Ross

    I have been through a lot of tries to solve this. But after extracting the files from the the file Pro3880.profiles, I discovered that file was in my system colorsync/profiles folder and upon repairing file permissions it was then available in Lightroom. So if you install a new 3880, look for a file of this name and if it's in your system colorsync/profiles folder and Lightroom doesn't see it, just reapir file permissions.

  • Color profiles in Lightroom 3 for online printing

    Hi,
    I would like to know if I can enter color profiles in Lightroom 3 for online printing. I am going to use Adormapix and they have color profiles for each paper. Is there a way to do this in LR 3 and if not is this available in LR 4 or 5? I plan to upgrade in the next 6 months but may upgrade sooner if I need to.

    Generally, profiles provided by labs are not for imbedding, or converting the image to send for on-line printing. They are used to simulate the final output on your screen so you have an idea what you will be getting back from the lab on that paper. This is called soft proofing. It is available in Lightroom 4 or 5 by hitting the [S] key while in the Develop module.  Choosing a profile in the Soft Proofing dialog that appears beneath the histogram is a way to see how your final print will approximately appear on a selected media.
    From Adorama's website: "We print in sRGB color space, so for best results convert your images before uploading." meaning that you will want to send Adorama sRGB images only. When you create a JPEG file to send to Adorama, you will want to specify sRGB in the Lightroom Export dialog under File Settings.

  • Adding a Lens Profile to lightroom from Adobe lens profile creator

    Hi, I just made a lens profile from the lens profile creator for my Canon 80-200 2.8L. I then added the profile to the 1.0 folder that holds all the other lens profiles. However, lightroom does not list to profile as an option in the lens profiles. Is there something else that I need to do?

    While the more recent PDF link still works, the “Lightroom Queen” has done some recent website maintenance and the URL for default locations of files is different:
    http://www.lightroomqueen.com/articles-page/lightroom-5-default-locations/
    Obviously the link I provided had my username “Steve” in it and you’d be substituting your username, instead.  Also the AppData folder is hidden so you have to either enable viewing hidden folders in Explorer or just type it into the Explorer address bar and hit Enter.
    The other issue you might have, which was already talked about in the preceding discussion, is that camera profiles are specific to raw or non-raw formats and if what is in your DNG is a JPG then perhaps it wouldn’t work.
    Would you mind providing the DNG and the associated camera profile via a website like dropbox.com and if you have it, the original file that was wrapped up as a DNG?

  • Lightroom new download doesn't recognise my special printer profile

    I loved every second on the beta version of LIGHTROOM and happily used a special printer profile for Canon Pixma MP950.
    Now,I downloaded the new Lightroom and it doesn't recognize or accept my profile. Instead it uses a generic BJ Color Printer Profile 2000 or the profile for Canon MP 950(which I didn't like).
    The difference seems to be that previously I was able to select "colorsync" under "colorsync" during setup. Now the only option is "standard". If I choose "none" under "Color Correction" , the program chooses "BJ Color Printer Profile 2000". If I choose "Colorsync" the program gives me the "Canon MP950 PR!" profile.
    Could you ,please. advice me how to proceed. I was so satisfied with the beta and so disappointed with the new download.

    Okay, I have successfully printed a test page frm the printer itself. It did work correctly with my PC and connected to the PC network that I had previously set up, so I'm pretty sure that ther printer itself is good in terms of being able to print and also it's network capabilities. I also double checked the network password that I entered when I connected the printer to the time capsule network and it said that it did set up a connection point correctly. After I did this I tried to print something from the mac again and it simply isn't bringing up the printer details as already there, or when I try to add a new printer.
    So now I'm at a brick wall and have no idea how to get through / over / round it. Please help anyone.

  • Does anyone know where to find printer profiles for Epson paper with MG6200 printer using Lightroom?

    Does anyone know where to find printer profiles for Epson paper with MG6200 printer for use in LightRoom5?

    Epsnm should provide recommended settings (I.e. Which Canon paper type to select). They may also have profiles on their site.

  • Allow Soft Proofing - allow selecting printer profile

    The claim to fame purports to make LightRoom a one-stop processing shop for Photographers.
    Most photographers prefer to send their post-processed files to the lab. And if they really know their stuff, they are probably profiling their images to the lab printers. This is where LR fails miserably.
    To make my point, I will start off by explaining how RawShooter worked (RawShooter was purchased by Adobe and after major surgical procedure sold as Lightroom):
    For Rawshooter:
    1. Open the RAW file.
    2. Choose the profile of the printer I wish to use for the final output. This results in a significant color shift to the image as seen on the screen. After all, the benefit of the profile is to ensure that What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG).
    3. Make changes to the image so that the final output is to your liking. (remember, the RAW files themselves are never modified. All you do is create offset points and save that data seperately)
    4. Export to JPG
    5. Send image to the lab with an assurance that WYSIWYG.
    With Lightroom:
    1. Open the RAW file
    2. No ability to choose a printer profile.
    3. Make changes to the image with no idea how the final output is going to look. (remember, the RAW files themselves are never modified. All you do is create offset points and save that data seperately)
    4. Export to JPG
    5. Send image to lab with the hope you like what you get (HYLWYG)
    So, LR cannot be a one-stop shop for processing and printing RAW files. Any one who understands the importance of printer profiles would demand a WYSIWYG image to which one can apply the changes.
    Rawshooter was much better at this.

    >Here's the scoop. The reason for Lightroom is as a repsoitory for all your ORIGINAL ARCHIVE FILES...in a single place and single condition. The idea is that you DON'T need to keep track of all your "consumable file"-files that are made for a single consumption.
    Here's another scoop, the idea as you describe it, doesn't really work.
    The parts I'm having particular difficulty with :
    1. There seems to be some fixed assumption as to what's "archiveable" and what's "consumable".
    2. There also seems to be a double standard wherein some JPEGs and PSDs and TIFs can live happily aside their original RAW counterparts. Whereas other formats and color spaces can't. This is the abritrariness I was referring to in your earlier defense of LR being just for digicam snapshots.
    Would it be more appropriate to ask at what point does a derivative of the original photo become a new archiveable format? How much value needs to be added -- or for that matter removed?
    For example, I like to vectorize raw photos in Illustrator (which, incidentally, does an excellent job) -- then modify them as my master copy. This procedure modifies my photo into a new master derivative of the original photo -- not entirely unlike the way your friend John Paul modifies his photos into new master archiveables using Photoshop.
    If I were to convert the new archievable, say, from PDF to PSD ... it turns it into a consumable with a narrower intention -- but not a master copy as it wouldn't be in it's original higher quality PDF, AI or EPS formats.
    Another situation is where I get a CMYK scan back from the service bureau. An author may have had a photo hanging on the wall or in their photo album -- scanned. It would be more appropriate to inventory those master copies in the same project folder as digicam snaps (mixed archivable media) that the original author/photographer send me.
    I also get other project pieces produced in other Adobe suite software. If an Adobe application generates a master digital snapshot of those archiveables, why couldn't they also be ingested into LR too?
    IMO, having LR keep track of ALL derivative works makes a lot more sense than arbitrarily selecting subsets of what is deemed "archiveable." Why not let the customer decide that?
    >So, that means that your "Library" is very simple and very organized.
    It also means it's inaccurate. Right now LR is only ingesting 75% of what I would call my library. Of the 40,000 or so files I've attempted to inventory -- only slightly more than 30,000 are ingested. That means about 25% are falling through the cracks.
    This might be acceptable for non-critical photography ... but falls short of enterprise expectations. And maybe -- click -- that's the intention? Maybe this product was never meant to address enterprise level photography. Is that it? Have I just over-shot your target market?
    I've gone on the record as stating that LR is a valuable product, and I still highly recommend it for "many" things. However, IMO, it would be better to look a little over the horizon rather than digging in one's heals and prejudging what's archiveable.
    The view that digicams are the only archiveable format is, IMO, sooooo yesterday ... dude ... :~)
