How do i add printer color profiles

I am trying to add some printer codes for photo printer on printing services. I have the Icc profile but cant add them?

Hi,
I think you can find the profiles in:
/Users/<username>/Library/ColorSync/Profiles or
/Library/ColorSync/Profiles
You can delete the profiles as all other files.
Oh, you can use the ColorSync- Utility to. Klik on Devices and click on a profile to see its location.

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.

PSE 11 - How save image with printer color profile?

I use an outside service to make prints. How can I save an image in PSE 11 in either TIFF or JPEG format with the color profile for the outside lab's printer? Thanks.

You can print a photo using the correct printer profile for the lab printer. In the print dialog box , go to "Page Option>Color Management" and then choose Color Handling as "Photoshop Managers color". Now click the printer profile dropdown and choose the profile for your lab printer. If you are not able to find the profile for you printer then choose "Printer Manages Color"
To your second question the answer is that you cannot save the image with the correct colors for printing. You can only convert the profile of your image to Adobe RGB which matches gamut of most printer profiles using "Image Menu>Convert Color Profile and choose Adobe RGB.

How do I add selective color to black and white photo?

New to Photoshop Elements 12. How do I add selective color to a black and white photo?

The easiest way is to use the Smart Brush tool in Expert tab.
On the tool's option bar, in the drop-down select "Revers Effects", then select the "Reverse" option. Be sure that "Inverse" is ticked.
Paint over the object that is to retain color, the rest will become b/w.

How can I check the color profile for the current document?

I'd like to create a script that checks the current document's color profile and checks it against a string, for example "sRGB IEC61966-2.1". My studio has a script that performs various functions to make sure that all the layers are visible/unlocked, checks for stray points, etc., and we'd like to add a check to the color profile because we handle a large number of files and this setting is overlooked a lot.
It's alright if this value isn't writable through script (we can just pop up an alert letting the user know that they need to change it), but I can't find where to actually read this setting! We're currently working on Macs and with JavaScript, but any nudge in the right direction would be great.
Thanks!

The Annoyance Factor. The idea was to add the color profile check once an illustrator is finished with a particular file as a kind of "clean up" before they save and move on to something else. My options as of right now are:
Create a script that saves the file in Illustrator and then closes the document, opens Photoshop if it wasn't open already (wait to load), opens the file in Photoshop (wait to load), change the color profile, and save (wait for the extra save).
Create a script that pops up an alert that says, "Check that your color profile is set to sRGB IEC61966-2.1". And the illustrator will check, save the file, and move on.
We have close to 30 people working on several files every day so wasting all that time waiting for files to load and save in a different application adds up in man-hours pretty quick. In this particular case, getting our people to do it is more efficient.

You don't open them, you just have to put it in the correct folder which depends on what your operating system is.

Powershell 4.0 How to use Add-Printer to add printer for all users (machine)

Is there a way I can use Powershell 4.0 Add-Printer cmdlet to add a printer for all users (machine)? I tried from an admin account but it only adds a printer for the currently logged on user.
thanks.

Adding a printer for all users requires having access to their profiles (and registry hive for user) to save the mapped printer information. Your best bet is to either use Group Policy Preferences or write a user logon script that ones when they log in and
maps the printer if not already mapped.
Group Policy Preferences Example
I wrote an article a while back that shows how to use a GPO logon script to map a printer. It doesn't use V4, but the process would be the same as far as a GPO goes.

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.

Adjusting Printer Color Profile?

Hi All,
I would like to adjust the contrast and brightness of my printout - well, at least that's how I'm accustomed to think about it in the Windows world. And I can't seem to find settings for that anywhere. So after some reading, it appears that one needs to match the color profile of the printer to the color profile of the monitor to get desired results.
I have a few questions regarding this:
1) How do I calibrate the printer's color profile?
2) What do I do if I have documents that are to be printed, but cannot be adjusted on-screen, to the desired contrast and brightness? I could address this with my Windows printer driver very easily by adjusting the brightness and contrast sliders for my printer.
I am using the Gutenprint driver.
Thanks!

You need a .icc color profile file for your printer. They should be made available by the printer's manufacturer. The rest is basically done via ColorSync. Since this isn't my area of expertise I suggest you start with a Google search on "colorsync" which should provide a wealth of helpful information for dealing with device color matching on Macs.

How can I add a color bar scale to a CW3DGraph

I am using the CW3Dgraph control (parametric surface plot) in a LabVIEW program I have written to graph the the strength of an electromagnetic field over a sphere. The plot color map style is set to use the "color spectrum". I would like to add a color bar scale to the graph so the user can determine the approximate field strength by the color of the plot. Is there an example that could help me with this, does anyone know how to add a color bar scale, or is there some other way to indicate to the user the color's level?

I think if you search this forum you will find more than one approach to this quest.In this thread you will find an earlier discusion of the same nature that has a couple of methods you can try out.

How do I add Pantone Color Books to Illustrator CC?

I'm used to using the Pantone Process color book in illustrator, but it's missing from my Illustrator CC. How can I add it? I had it at work, so I assume it is a standard color book, because my work never paid for anything extra. I see I have a Pantone+ CMYK Coated color book, but the names of the swatches are different from Pantone Solid to Process color book I'm used to.

oh. then you are requesting for the old pantone books?
here you go
Dropbox - pantones.zip
let me know when you've got it because i'd like to delete it.

That depends on the Book Theme you are using.

How to make custom icc color profile work as default for all users?

Hi!
I've calibrated two monitors for the machine running Mavericks OS X. I've managed to move these custom icc color profiles to ColorSync folder in HDD Library, so that that they are available for all the users. However, I cannot figure out how to make these icc profiles work as default profiles for all users and not only the one I used to calibrate monitors.
Is there a specific place I have to put custom icc profile to make it system default?
Thank you!

If you put the profiles in the root /Library/ColorSync/Profiles/ folder, then each user needs to select them in their account. There isn't a way to apply them globally so each account automatically comes up that way.

How to solve the Embed Color Profile problem...

Hi Everyone,
This vijay from Chennai. I have one doubt for rectify the Embed color Profile problem, that's is how can i judges whether the file had Embed Color Profile or not. anyone solve this problem.
Thanks in Advance.

I used another profiles name, because I dont have the old one installed anymore, Youll have to be exact about the letters though.
And from a prepress-standpoint Id like to point out that removing the profile as opposed to »Convert to Profile« seems a peculiar practice, though of course Your reasons for doing so may be valid indeed.
You could try:
var myDocument = app.activeDocument;
if (myDocument.colorProfileName == "U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2") {
// =======================================================
var idassignProfile = stringIDToTypeID( "assignProfile" );
var desc2 = new ActionDescriptor();
var idnull = charIDToTypeID( "null" );
var ref1 = new ActionReference();
var idDcmn = charIDToTypeID( "Dcmn" );
var idOrdn = charIDToTypeID( "Ordn" );
var idTrgt = charIDToTypeID( "Trgt" );
ref1.putEnumerated( idDcmn, idOrdn, idTrgt );
desc2.putReference( idnull, ref1 );
var idmanage = stringIDToTypeID( "manage" );
desc2.putBoolean( idmanage, false );
executeAction( idassignProfile, desc2, DialogModes.NO );

How do I disable printer color management so I can get clear photos using adobe?

My printer is an Office Jet Pro 8500A Plus. My operating system is Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. I get excellent photos if I print from Windows Media. When I print from Photoshop Elements 10 all images are blurred and dark. Photoshop says to disable printer color management in printer preferences but there is no link.

I have researched the matter a lot and I,
along with many others, still have problems with this complicated
subject.
Color management is as simple in theory as Honoring a Source Profile and CONVERTING it to a Target Profile (monitor or printer) for Proofing.
But yes, we work at the mercy of the rocket scientists who try to dumb an extremely complicated process down so regular folks (like me) can make it work — trouble is I think their approach needs a bit more distilling and common sense sometimes...but it is very doable once you put in the time to figure it out, just follow the CHAIN in your workflow if you're still having problems.
If you want a "simple button" try staying in sRGB and printing out of Apple Preview app using OEM standard papers matched to your printer and OEM ink set.
