How to Install (copy) ICC Profiles

I have two computers running fully updated versions of Mountain Lion. One has all the desired ICC profiles installed in Library>Printers>Epson>InkjetPrinter and in Photoshop the profiles show up just fine and I can make my selections.
On my other computer, the profiles had been there but disappeared in one upgrade or another. I tried having them installed automatically by deleting and reinstalling the printer drivers via the Print & Scan System Preferences. The driver gets re-installed but no profiles. I tried copying the profiles from the one computer to the exact location on the second computer and still no luck. Profiles of two of my other printers are all present, but not the one I'm trying to get added.
I have restarted many times along the way and even tried replacing the whole Epson folder with no change.
Does anyone have an idea of how I can copy those profiles to where they'll work?
FWIW, these profiles are for an older Epson 2200 which is still supported according to Apple's list. It works fine and does print perfect color through the computer that shows the profiles. Profiles for my Epson 7880 and Canon MX870 show on both computers.

Here is the location where the Epson v2.12 Printer Drivers for OS X (Oct. 4) will install the Stylus Pro 2200 .icc profiles. Everything from Printers inward is owned by root and group admin. The individual .icc files are read/write for root, and read only for everyone else.
I used CharlesSoft dot com Pacifist to discover this information. Downloaded the above Epson Driver dmg from Apple/support/downloads. Then opened it with Pacifist. Looked in Contents of EPSONPrinterDrivers.pkg. It is possible to drag the SP2200_A.profile and SP2200_W.profile bundles from Pacifist into the /Library directory hierarchy. You may have to create /InkjetPrinter2/ICCProfiles folders manually and permit them root:admin first.
Not for the faint of heart. If I was invested in Epson printers as you are, I would simply install the whole v2.12 installation package above. That should build the directory hierarchy for you. (fingers crossed).

  • How to install Epson ICC profiles using Photoshop CC?

    How to install Epson ICC profiles ussing Photoshop CC on Mac?

    Danny,
    Just stop and think for a moment. Firstly, it's not Rocket science to produce an icc profile, and does not involve the profile having to physically 'fit' into a pre-formed item such as the razor blade analogy you used.
    Secondly, If the likes of Epson and HP did produce printer profiles for all makes of paper, can you imagine how much more product they would sell. Printer companies are currently missing out on substantial amounts of income at the moment because the cost of their inks is more expensive than gold! Thus, the third party ink manufacturers - although not producing an ink as good as the original - are earning large sums of money and once again this is income loss to the major printer manufactures.  Can you imagine what would happen if certain vehicles would only run on  a specific fuel? I don't mean Diesel or Petroleum, but different manufacturers, Shell, Texaco, Murco etc.
    At the end of the day the only person who is adversely affected by this business model is us, the consumer.
    I really don't think they need you to be standing up for them Danny.

  • Install additional ICC Profiles

    I cannot find how to install ICC profiles other than the provided defaults of ProPhoto, Adobe RGB and Adobe sRGB. Can someone please tell me how to install additional ICC profiles.
    Thank you,
    Jim Palik

    The Camera Calibration profiles (Adobe Standard, Camera Neutral, etc) are camera profiles developed by Adobe through their internal camera-calibration process for each new camera.  You can make your own Camera Calibration profiles with the DNG Profile Editor and a X-Rite Color Checker standard color target. 
    The ICC profiles installed on your system are output profiles developed by mostly others that are not related to your camera.  The internal profile LR uses for processing is a variant of the large ProPhotoRGB profile with a different gamma.  LR is not like Photoshop where you can change the work space profile if that’s what you mean.

  • Could anyone please let me know how to set a ICC profile with Acrobat dlls using Csharp or VB

    Could anyone please let me know how to set a ICC profile with Acrobat dlls using Csharp or VB

    Cant we even use the dlls in an application?
    In order to automate Acrobat, you need to have Acrobat installed. There is
    nothing you can do with just the DLLs. As was already stated, Acrobat is
    not licensed for use on a server, but regardless of that, it's also
    not technically suitable for server use. You need to find a solution
    outside of Acrobat to solve your problem.
    It also seems that you don't have a good understanding of what is going in
    inside a PDF file. PDF is a very complex file format, and based on
    your questions
    and followup questions, you need to spend a considerable amount of time
    getting familiar with the PDF file format to understand how color works in
    the PDF context. Reader the PDF spec, while paying special attention to the
    section about color. You will find out that if you want to convert the
    color space of a "PDF file", you actually need to convert the color space
    associated with every single object in your PDF file. That is fairly simple
    for vector graphic and text, but when it comes to images, you may have to
    convert the image data. Once you have a good understanding of what it is
    you need to do within the PDF file, then you can start looking for tools
    that allow you to do that. Again, Acrobat and therefore the Acrobat SDK is
    not suitable for this task. If you want to stay with Adobe products take a
    serious look at the PDF Library, which his licensed through Datalogics (
    http://www.datalogics.com/products/pdf/pdflibrary/). As you've mentioned,
    there are other, non-Adobe PDF libraries that you can also use, but this is
    the Acrobat SDK forum, so I won't discuss any of those 3rd party solutions.
    You are wasting your time while looking for a simple solution that does not
    exist.

    how to install custom printer profiles in maverick

    NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder. You'll need to do it again after each system update that's applied.

  • Installing paper .icc profiles

    I'm new to Mac, and I knew how to do with in Windows, but ... I want to install new icc paper profiles from Ilford for an Epson printer. I downloaded the profile and it sits on my desktop, but I don't know to install it. Unzipping puts it on the desktop but doesn't auto install; double-clicking just opens the profile but doesn't install. The Ilford "read me" file says "+Save the profile into the following location: OSX 10.5 (Leopard): Library/ColorSync/Profile"+ but I don't know what "save...into" means. Thanks for any guidance,
    Brian

    I don't know what "save...into" means.
    I think you just manually drag and drop your profile file into that location. Open up your drive icon and navigate to Library/ColorSync/Profiles and you should see a number of them already there.

  • How to set "embed icc Profile" option  to export document as JPEG

    Hi All,
    While exporting the document as jpeg, through File->Export, there is an option "Embed ICC Profile" as figure shows.
    How to set it if I am exporting the document through my program in which I rasterize the document and used 
    the sAIImage->AsJPEG(raster, jpegDataFilter, params);
    I didn't find any option in AIRasterizeSettings or AIImageOptJPEGParams to set this flag.
    plz anyone suggest me how to do so.
    Thanks,
    Rud.

    thanks for you through out help.
    I use the folowing code which executing properly,but there is no effect on JPEG whether the value of jpegparam.s.jpeg.embedICCProfile is 0 or 1.
    /////Start
    ASOptimizationSettings jpegparam;
    jpegparam.fileFormat = asffJPEG;
    jpegparam.s.jpeg.embedICCProfile = isICCProfileEmbeded;
    ASInt32 optID;
    optID = sAIOptSet->GetUniqueOptimizationSettingsID();
    error = sAIOptSet->SetOptimizationSettings(optID, &jpegparam); // after executing this line error = 0
    /////End
    I guess it would  work when we export document as jpeg through AIActionManagerSuite
    not with  rasterizing the layer's art and then exporting them as JPEG  using AsJPEG().
    thanks

  • How to set the ICC profile in LR to be the same as PS?

    Hi Adobe,
    Why do my images look much darker and contrasty in LR(4.3) then they do on PS(CS6) where they have far more tonal range? I'm looking at them side by side on the same screen. I know it has to do with ICC profiles but I can't find how you set that in LR. Any help would be appreciated. An example can be viewed here: http://mikedodd.co.uk/other/temp/Screen%20shot%202013-01-22%20at%2023.06.52.jpg You can see how much better the top (PS) image is.
    Thanks
    Mike

    I'm not familiar with that model, but don't all Coloredges come with Color navigator software and sensor? No need to use third-party calibrators, the results are guaranteed to be much better using the Eizo calibrator. I use Eizo easypix on a pair of Flexscans, and the results are vastly better than using Spyder 3 and ColorEyes Display Pro (which I also have).
    In any case the Spyder 2 is not a good sensor. It quickly got a bad reputation and rightly so (I have one sitting in the back of a drawer). Things improved tremendously with the Spyder 3, and now the 4 is out.
    The general consensus, however, is that the best "mainstream" third-party calibrator currently on the market is the x-rite i1 Display Pro. If this is what you need to use, maybe it's time to retire the Spyder 2?
    Most real-world images contain parts that are out of gamut for sRGB, you'll quickly get used to that. But it can still look good. With a little work, it's possible to make almost anything look good inside sRGB. Consider that almost all monitors have a native color space very close to sRGB. Only the so-called wide gamut monitors (I'm not sure if yours is one) exceed that. But with a standard monitor, what you see is already sRGB.
    Relative intent "hard-clips" everything outside the target space gamut, but OTOH preserves everything in-gamut unchanged. Perceptual compresses near the gamut border, sometimes resulting in slight color and tonal changes. The difference isn't dramatic, I never bother with intent, but leave it on relative and deal with clipping when necessary (that is, if you lose desired texture and detail).

  • Installing new icc profiles on an Imac using CS6

    Can someone help, please, I am using CS6 on an Imac (new to mac) and I need to install some more icc profiles. I have tried unhiding the library/col sync/profiles folder and have installed them but cs6 print setup is still not showing them. I have also tried to drag them in to /library/Application Support/Adobe/ Colour/Profiles/recommended as well but still not showing up. Your assistance will be highly appreciated.

    I should have said I am using Epson 3800 printer using mac OS X10.9.5 operating system.

  • How do i find icc profile for HP paper

    I have a Cannon MG5400 and am looking to install the correct ICC profile. Looking for help to find the correct profile and install it.

    You would normally download icc profiles from the paper manufacturer's website or use the profiles installed by the printer driver (for papers from the same company as made your printer). However, since HP makes printers themselves I would be extremely surprised if they supply profiles for non-HP printers.

  • How to duplicate/copy user profile

    Hi,
    Is there a way to Duplicate or Copy a User's Authorisation Profile to another User?
    If so, HOW?
    Thanks

    Noor,
    In the Authorization window.  Click and hold the left mouse button on the User who authorization you want to copy, you will see a border around this user then drag and drop on to the other user. You will get a System message "Copy Authorization from User xxx to User yyy" Click Copy to confirm.  Click Update at the bottom after each Drag and Drop.

  • How can i copy WLAN profile from ipad to iphone

    I'm using an iPad and an iPhone. Unfortunately I had to change my iPhone and would like to copy a Wifi Profile if rom the iPad to the iPhone. Since in the profil I have certificates it is important to copy past. Unfortunately I do not know how this could be done. Any hint would be appreciated.

    Is it off in the iPad? Or on the iPhone?
    It may be that you have iTunes set to automatically send new apps over when you sync as well. In iTunes select the Phone, then Apps, and see if "automatically sync new apps" is checked. 

  • HT4889 How do I copy one profile to another profile on my Macbook Pro so I can delete the older profile?

    I have a profile copied from my old Macbook with a Gdrive (apparently through migration assistant). I can't seem to get the two profiles to open in the same window so I can copy and paste from the older profile to the new one. Thanks.

    Use two Finder windows.  You can easily drag from one to the other.
    However, that may cause permissions problems:  the user account you drag the files to may not have permission to change or delete them.
    If so, see the blue box in Transferring files from one User Account to another.

  • I am trying to  understand how Photoshop deals with ICC profiles

    I have an Epson 3880 printer, which I am trying to master.   I am printing with either Photoshop CS2 or Photoshop CS5.   I would like to u nderstand where the profiles for particular papers are kept.
    For example, in principle, I can go to the Epson website and download profiles.   But I don't understand the nomeclature I see there.  Thus, there are several different categories.  I started with the first and downloaded the one for Epson Hot Press Bright Paper
    I get an archive which contains an executable file, which when run asks me if I want to extract the contents.  I run it and it completes, but I don't know what it put where.
    So first of all, where does Photoshop keep profiles for different printer using different papers?
    Second of all, where did that program put the files it supposedly extracted?  What does Hot Press Birght Paper mean?  Where are the profiles for the standard Epson papers?  Are there explicit profiles for using the 3880 with different papers, e.g., premimum glossy photo paper.   Where do I find them?
    (I think I have software for viewing a profile if I can find it.)
    Anything more of interest?

    Photoshop does not keep profiles anywhere.
    Profiles are managed by the OS.
    Photoshop shows the available profiles in it's UI, and gets the list of available profiles from the OS.
    What does Hot Press Birght Paper mean?
    That the profile applies to a particular paper, probably called "hot press bright" paper.
    Yes, you will have a profile for each printer and type of paper -- you have to in order to describe how the image will appear on each printer and type of paper.
