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.

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:

How do I load on Office:Mac onto my new MacBook Pro when it doesn't have a disk drive?

How do I load on Office: Mac onto my new MacBook Pro when it doesn't have a disk drive - I don't want to have to purchase another copy.

Glad you were able to solve your problem. For the benefit of others who may find this discussion later, allow me to suggest another possibility.
If you have access to another Mac running Lion or Mountain Lion with an optical drive, you should be able to use the Remote Disc feature to access the optical drive on that other Mac.

How do you load artworks automatically into the indeisgn CS3

Hi All,
How do you load artworks automatically into the indeisgn CS3. Is it through a script or any other way.
Thanks

"artworks" is a bit vague...can you expand?
File > Place is the usual way, but there are times when cut and paste is fine or better.

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 DO I LOAD MAC OS LION ONTO AN OLDER iMAC (2010) WITHOUT THE ADMIN PASSWORD.

I purchased MAC OS LION (version 1.0.4) (multi user) from APPLE about 4 months ago. The OS LION came on a thumb drive that is used to load it on multiple computers instead of having to down loading it off the APPLE website. I have only loaded one version of LION onto one computer so far.
I want to load the LION on a used iMAC(about 2-years old) I recently purchased but can't because I don't have the previous owners ADMIN password.
I don't have the original disc that came with the iMAC either. The OS currently on the iMAC is Snow Leopard 10.6.8
I do not care about any data that the previous owner had on the hard drive which isn't much so I would be glad to install MAC OS LION from scratch and erase/reformat the hard drive. Doing this I presume I can then create my own Admin password .
I believe there is a procedure where you hold down certain keys at startup which will allow you to clear the HD and install the new OS but I am unaware of the key sequence. Nor am I sure if this will work with the THUMBRIVEn or if you need an actual disc.
If anyone can give me direction on how I can load the OS LION from the thumb drive when I start the computer up so I can reformat/erase the HD I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks for any help you can give me

If the password you are talking about is the EFI boot password the only way to bypass and or remove it is to take the system to Apple.
If it is a User Log On password then just boot the computer from that thumb drive open Disk Utility and Re-Partition the internal drive as ONE partition. then exit out of DU and select Reinstall Mac OS X.
Once that is done it will boot to a fresh clean install of Lion ready to be setup with new user account and password.

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.

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.
-yajiv

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 );
else {

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 load Icc print profiles into p/s cc

can't load icc print profiles into photoshop cc

Well, that's not much info.
Have you rebooted both the Mac and the printer after the installation? Which printer make and model? What exact version of the OS?
Are you sure they are in fact printer profiles? The printer driver expects true printer profiles specific to your combination of ink, paper and ink. Otherwise they won't show up in your list.
Where exactly did you obtain the profiles from. Do they have the proper extension?
Etc.
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand, such as your platform (Mac or Win), exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop and of Bridge, machine specs, what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far, what error message(s) you receive, if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them, etc., someone may be able to help you.

How do I load pics and music onto ipad without another computer

I bought a IPAD 2 after my home computer crashed. I had all of my Pictures and Music saved on an external hard drive. Problem is I don't have a personal computer to load all of them onto to transfer to my IPAD? Please help!!!

Unless I am missing something, you can't transfer the music and photos from an external drive to the iPad. You need a computer that has an operating system that can move the files from the drive to the computer and then to the iPad. Or you could sync the content from the drive, I think, but you still need an operating system in order to make the transfer work.

How do I Batch change color profiles in CS4?

I need to change color profiles on hundreds of photos at a time. CS4 does not give me that option it seems, only lame options i'll never use

Probably easiest would be recording an Action of a conversion and running that with File – Scripts – Image Processor; Batch or Droplets are other ways of using an Action.
Scripting would be another option.
Which options exactly do You mean with »lame options«?

How do I embed a color profile in an untagged picture that is displayed incorrectly as sRGB?

I have a set of JPEGs that have been stripped of their color profiles (AdobeRGB). Lightroom assumes that they are sRGB images and displays them incorrectly. Is there any function in the program that will let me embed the correct (AdobeRGB) profile to the photos, preferably without re-compressing them?

It looks like the developer of ExifTools GUI is no longer supporting it:
http://u88.n24.queensu.ca/exiftool/forum/index.php?topic=5370.0
I tried using an older ExifTools Gui v3.38 with the latest ExifTools v9.47 windows installer download and it works fine. It also does NOT recompress the image data when using the 'Import ICC/ICM Profile' tools. So there's no need to create TIFFs to change the profile on your JPEGs without altering the image data. Try it!
I've uploaded a ZIP file, which contains a folder with everything you need. Download, unzip, and place the folder anywhere on your HDD. Copy and paste the shortcut 'ExifToolGUI 3.38 (ExifTools 9.47)' that's in the folder to your desktop. Nothing is installed – Exif GUI is a standalone app. If it doesn't open you may need to right-click on the shortcut and selct 'Run As Administrator.'

How to assign a specific color profile to an image?

I am in the process of submitting an image electronically.
They want me to submit images that have the color profile "ISO Coated v2 ECI".
My image has the color profile "Adobe RGB (1998)", according to File Info, and according to Preview.
I have downloaded the color profile from eci.org and put them in /Library/Color Sync/Profiles.
When I open the image in ColorSync Utility, I can see the profile under 'Profiles'.
However, when I try to assign or match or apply the profile to the image in ColorSync, it does not "stick".
With 'Match to Profile', I can select the profile (in the dropdown menu under 'Output'). But when I then save the image (using Save, Save As.., or Export..) it seems like it does not put that profile in the image, i.e., when I open the new image using Preview, I still get the "Adobe RGB (1998)" profile.
Same with 'Apply Profile'.
With "Assign profile", the profile I want is greyed out.
I also tried Pixelmator, but that does not offer me the profile "ISO Coated v2 ECI".
Am I missing something?
Could some kind soul please shed some light on this?
Or point me to the right web page or forum?
All insights and suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Best regards,
Gabriel.

Thanks for your response.
But, first of all, the profile I want to "set" is not in that list in Preview.
Second, I believe now that I don't need to just *assign* the profile, I need to *match* the image to it (the profile is an output profile).
