How to install ICC profiles in Lightroom

This is probably an easy question, but I didn't see an obvious reply in Google. I use ICC profiles when I print from Photoshop, but they don't appear in Lightroom. Is there an easy way to install all my profiles into lightroom?

Jim,
Thanks! I was scratching my head there for a moment, because that's how I install profiles in Photoshop. I couldn't figure out why they weren't showing up in Lightroom. It finally dawned on me that I had had to nuke and re-install Lightroom due to a persistent corrupt file. Apparently the profiles went away with the previous installation. Thanks for your help!

How to install ICC Profile on MAC: Dry Creek Photo

I'm trying to install the Costco printer profile on Dry Creek Photo's site but it dowloads automatically and opens a utility download instead. Anyone know how I can rememdy this? Much thanks in advance.

Download the profiles, copy/move them into the ColorSync/Profiles folder, then open Photoshop.

How do I install icc profiles? I keep getting message that folder can't be modified.

How do I install ICC profiles on Lion? I keep getting an error message that the folder can't be modified. Any help is greatly appreciated.

If the profiles need to be accessed by all user accounts on that Mac, follow Martin's instructions for getting the main Library folder to appear. In order to place items into the folder, you need the admin name and password before the OS will allow you to add (or remove) any items. It's either that, or you have to copy the same profiles into every individual user account.
If the only user of the Mac is you, then the Profiles folder in your user account will work just as well.

Icc profiles in Lightroom 5

I've been trying and trying, but still no success in 'installing' icc profiles so they appear in Lightroom 5 using Soft Proofing. I've downloaded profiles and used the right-click to Install Profile - I've put them manually into the Windows....color folder where profiles go - I've rebooted and restarted and anything else I could find to try. Gail

The way I did it was to go to the print module and then to the color management section of the right-hand panel. I clicked on the pulldown that allows you to choose profiles. Then I clicked on "Other" and put checkmarks in the profiles that I wanted to use. That put them on what I call the shortlist in the print module, and it made them available for soft proofing in the develop module. All this was done after I had right-clicked on the ICC profiles and told Windows to install them.

How to embed ICC profile

Hello,
I'm trying to embed an icc profile in a pdf, I am actually doing like this:
char *filePath=NULL;
          ASPathName ICCPath;
          asprintf(&filePath,"%s/ICC_PROFILES/%s",DataDirName,profileName);
#if !macosx
                    ICCPath = ASFileSysCreatePathFromDIPath(NULL,filePath,NULL);
          #else
                    ICCPath = GetMacPath(filePath);
          #endif
          ASFile iccProfile = NULL;
          ASFileSysOpenFile (NULL, ICCPath, ASFILE_READ, (ASFile *)&iccProfile);
          ASStm asStmICC = ASFileStmRdOpen(iccProfile,0);
          int tmp = ASFileGetEOF(iccProfile);
          char* buff=calloc(tmp,1);
          ASStmRead(buff,1,tmp,asStmICC);
          AC_Profile profil = NULL;
          ACMakeBufferProfile(&profil,buff,tmp);
          PDDocColorConvertEmbedOutputIntent(pdDoc,profil);
it's kind of work since I have the icc profile inside my pdf file (I can see it with vim)
but I'm having issue when trying to open it with Photoshop ... Photoshop don't see the embeded profile.
any idea ?
Regards,
William

An OutputIntent Profile (which is what you are creating with the PDDoc call at the end) is NEVER used by PDF UNLESS the PDF is also compliant with one of the subset standards (eg. PDF/A, PDF/E, PDF/X) - see ISO 32000-1:2008, 14.11.5.
Why are you setting this profile? Is the PDF a single page with a single raster image?

How to apply ICC profiles on all the photos in preset before printing.   and user preset

Hi,
hope someone can point me to the right direction.. I have 2 questions about ICC profiles and settings in lightroom.
1.) I found that many photos that I have is a little two blue. There are thousands of photos. I would like to know if there is a way in Lightroom to "Autobatch" the changes to all those photos.
The changes are under "white balance" -> "temp" -> (need to increase by 2)
2.) I will send out the photos to print . According to the photo stores tech, I can apply their ICC (printer/paper) profiles before sending the files to them. So, it will have better match how the photos come out.
Last time I printed some photos with them, many of the come out too dark.   But it looks fine on screen, and a little too red if I use my own inkject printer. I hope I correct this.
If it cannot be done in lightroom, it can only be done with Photoshop, please let me know. I will try to use other computer with PS installed.   just let me know the steps.
Thanks in advance.

I would sugget two UI changes:
1. The enable / disable is confusing - the toggle switch to turn it on, changes the button label to "Auto Sync" to indicate that it is on. But, this is highly un-conventional and confusing - usually a button label indicates what will happen when you click, not that it is on, and clicking it will actually turns it off - bass-freakin'-ackwards if you ask me!... (Add to it the toggle switch tooltip is the same in both cases - indicating that the switch will enable it, when actually, in one case it will enable, but in the other case it will disable...)
2. Some simple UI difference that you can't ignore but doesn't bug the ship out of you either, when auto-sync is on: maybe a red-tint to the slider draggers or something...
Summary: Once you use something other than the button label to indicate Auto-Sync is on, then you can change the button label to read "Auto Sync Off". And if the On indication has an "ommi-present" quality to it - so much the better.

Getting icc profiles into lightroom

I have downloaded profiles from epson for my 3800 printer, profiles for red river paper. They do not show up in LR print module. They do however, show up in Photoshop print module. What am i doing wrong?

maybe not. how do i check to see if the profiles are RGB or CYMK? will RGB profiles still print well on my SP3800?
Double click the profile. It should open in Colorsync utility. In the Header section you should see under "Space" whether it is RGB or CMYK. The profile should also be of class Output. All of RR's profiles that I have used were RGB and work fine in Lightroom. You don't want CMYK profiles for a inkjet printer that uses more than 4 inks and for that reason profiles for such printers are rarely CMYK. So the profiles are probably in the wrong spot or you have a problem icc profile in the profiles folder that trips up Lightroom. You can fix such problems by running profile first Aid in Colorsync Utility. If you don't see where to do that, open a new window in the Utility. In this utility you can also see which profiles are correctly installed in the profiles section.

Access priviliges problem when installing ICC profile

Hi
I have a Mac Pro and recently I did a clean install of Lion. The previous OS was 10.6.8.
What I did was I formatted the hard disk where the 10.6.8. was and installed Lion. I also have three other hard disks on my Mac Pro: A mirrored RAID set of 2x750GB drives and a third 750GB drive.
When I did to install a Epson paper ICC profile today, I failed and got the answer "You do not have enough access privileges for this installation."
Furthermore on my Mackintosh HD sharing & permissions it says "You can only read." System user has read & write permissions, a mysterious "wheel" has read only permissions as have the user "everyone" No admin at all mentioned. The other two disks are identical with the exception of this mysterious "wheel" user.
I compared sharing & permissions with my MacBook Pro with 10.6.8. and which works normally. MacBook Pro´s Mackintosh read & write permissions are:
system: read & write
admin: read & write
everyone: read only
I normally made me an account with password when installing the Lion to my Mac Pro. When I cehck users & gropus of the Mac Pro, I am the admin and the only visible other user is guest user.
I would very much appreciate help. This is my first real problem with Macs and I´m getting clueless.

Thanks so much for you quick reply Ralph.
Is there possibly a thread here where this procedure has been alreay explained? Could you link it to me please? I just dont know how to use the sudo command. Additionally, does the admin password you mention mean the password I made up when installing Lion or some other, superuser password?
Thanks for your time and effort.

How to add icc profiles to LR4

I have viewed many videos and read much literature to no avail. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Not sure about Win 8 as I don't use it, but in the older versions, just right click on the profile and select Install Profile. Even easier than installing on a Mac!
Yes, that's exactly what I did to install the profile in Win 8 as well, but it did not show up in Lightroom for soft proofing.
By default, you still have to load them into the list in LR. Unlike Photoshop and other applications, it filters ICC profiles so you don't end up with a big mess of a list. You have to select the "Other..." option, then when a dialog box appears, you should see the profiles there. Is that not the case? They don't show up in the dialog with all the other's, awaiting you to click on the check box to show now in the list of profiles?

Can't see the installed icc profiles for my paper in print module

I have downloaded and installed the icc profiles for my favourite Canson and Crane Museo papers on my new Macbook Pro but they don't show up in the options box in the LR 4 print module. Is there another step I have missed? Thanks in advance.

Where did you install the profiles? They should go into
Library/Colorsync/Profiles in your home folder or at the root level of your
hard disk. If you put it in that folder in your home folder, they show up
in user, if you put them in the root Library folder, they show up in
"Computer" in Colorsync utility

Installing ICC profile

Hi All,
I am trying to convert an image to a standard ICC profile that I generate using GretagMacbeth Profilemaker. The problem is that the profile does not show up under the "image>mode>convert to profile" in Photoshop CS. What is strange is that the profile is available under the "image>mode>assign profile" option.
I have placed the profile at "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\SPOOL\DRIVERS\COLOR" and have installed the profile.
Thanks,
Prateek

Prateek,
IMO one cannot use Raw camera data as input for
ProfileMaker.
An accurate description of the calibration workflow
would be helpful.
In my workflow (as mentioned above) I had tested
three versions:
1. Save Raw as sRGB
2. Save Raw as AdobeRGB(98)
3. Save Raw as ProPhotoRGB
Each of these files can be used as input for Profile-
Maker. AdobeRGB is sufficient, in my humble opinion.
Using all versions, one gets three files and three
profiles P-sRGB, P-aRGB, P-pRGB.
For actual images (after the calibration) one has to use
one of these Raw --> RGB conversions.
The respective profile is either already embedded, or
it has to be assigned in PhS, followed by Save As with
profile.
A possible workflow is described in my doc. There may be
alternatives.
Best regards --Gernot Hoffmann

HT1595 How to install a profile if i dont have a mac?

Hi
I hope this is a simple question.... My home wifi has a setup where on my various iphones, ipads, and windows laptops i need to manually login each time i use it. My apple tv sees my home network, but cannot connect - says i need to install a profile. However i can only find info about how to do that which assumes i have a Mac computer. To use the configurator App.
How can I install a profile for my wifi using either an ipad/iphone or a windows laptop?
Thank you!

Hi Winston,
The page you've referred to captures my problem exactly - I can only find documentation about installing a profile that requires the use of the Mac App Configurator. As a mac app, as far as I am aware, it will only work on a mac computer - not on ipads, iphones or windows pc's.
Anyone who has any kind of further info about how to work around this, please let me know! I've read some information about getting a "wifi bridge" to lower the security on the wifi signal, or else, achieving something similar by turning my laptop into a wifi hotspot. But my internet router is a very basic one that was provided by my internet service as the supported device, and does not have an ethernet port. So I believe that without the ethernet port, both of those options aren't possible with my current setup.
Thanks!

How Important are ICC Profiles when Importing Stills into Premiere Pro?

Hello,
I came across the following troubling language in a review of one of Steven Hullfish's books on Color Correction:
"I also felt as though the author neglected to give ICC profiles enough attention.
Granted, they are seldom used in pure video workflows, but there are an awful lot of folks out there compositing still images into video content who need to know how to soft-proof against the right destination space in Photoshop so they aren't surprised by the color shifts they see in their ICC-unaware video software. Surely that should merit a pull-quote of its own somewhere."
My photos have been saved in PhotoShop in the ProRes color space. Is this going to cause unpredictablility in how my colors look when shown on a 30 foot screen?
Is Premiere Pro a type of what this author describes as "ICC-unaware" video software?
If so, what steps should I be taking?
Thanks,
Matt Dubuque, 100 Trees

Premiere Pro does not use ICC color profiles at all. Photoshop and After Effects do.
When you are working with non-color-managed applications, it's especially important that you preview your work and check your output on the same sort of device on which your audience will be viewing it.

How to get ICC Profile from Illustrator.Document ?

I am using CS5 SDK and I have an Illustrator.Document object. I want to get the path to the ICC profile(s) associated with that document (RGB, CMYK, Greyscale). How can I get to those?
Thanks,
...Matt

A little, since I'm a C++ guy
That said, I've looked through the headers and there's slim pickings on ICC profiles. I seem to recall others have asked similar questsions and run into problems with the lack of API support.
The only thing I can find is this in AIOverrideColorConversion.h:
AIAPI AIErr ( *GetWSProfile )( const ASUInt32 whichProfile, AIColorProfile *profile );
AIAPI ASUInt32 ( *GetOpenPolicy )(AIColorProfile *profile, ASUInt32 colorModel, ASBoolean isLink, ASBoolean linkHasMultipleProfiles);
AIAPI AIErr ( *GetProfileData ) (const AIColorProfile profile, ASUInt32 *size, void *data );
AIAPI AIErr ( *GetProfileName) (const AIColorProfile profile, ai::UnicodeString& profileName ) ;
There's documentation associated with those calls, but pasting them is a problem because the editor interprets the tabs as tables
Does that sound like what you want? If so, check out that header and look up those methods -- see if what they describe sounds useful. Presumably there's something similar somewhere in the C# API.

How to fix ICC profile errors?

I just brought Photoshop CS6 lately and I am trying to edit a picture but I get this message:
"The embedded ICC profile cannot be used because the embedded ICC profile is invalid. Ignoring the profile" "
What do I do to fix this?
Please provide clear instructions as this is the first time I am using Photoshop.

Some clueless individual handed you a file with an invalid color profile embedded.
You can either ask for or demand a corrected file from your source, or you can just let Photoshop ignore the profile and then assign different profiles to the file until you find the one that makes the colors in the image look best to you—by trial and error.
You should know that color management is far from an easy subject. If you're a rank beginner in Photoshop, be prepared to do a lot of reading on the subject. You could start here:

Photoshop is a professional-level application that makes no apologies for its long and steep learning curve.
