.ICC / Printing Profiles List TOO LONG!

I am using CS5. When I print and I have to change to a different printer I am fed up with wading through 200 different ICC profiles just to pick one of the 3 I use at work everyday. I have tried moving my unused profiles to a new location out of the ColorSync folder (Mac OS10.6) to no avail. It also seems to me that not all the profiles listed in the ps print dialogue are located in either ColorSync folders (user and main).
Can anyone tell me where photoshop gets this list from?
Can anyone inform me on how to get rid of the LONG list of profiles and keep only those 3 that i use?
I cannot find a solution anywhere, and my experimenting does not work either.

It's a bummer that can't get rid of all these profiles. It's obnoxious!
My only solution, all be it half-assed, was I used the ColorSync Utility to rename the profiles with a number in front of it. Open the profile, under "1. 'desc' I edited the name with a 1, 2, or 3 and saved. This helps in organizing somewhat, but they are still appearing way down on the list.
For people that have to change to different printers daily in photoshop, this is something that should be addressed.
Thank you for your replies. any other solutions or ideas are welcome.

Disappearing ICC Printer Profiles

I recently switched to Mac Pro with the OSX (5.7) operating system. I also have gone from the PC version of Photoshop CS3 to Mac version of CS4. I had ICC printer profiles for my Epson 4000 printer, which I believe were correctly installed into the Mac, but they have disappeared from my Photoshop printer dialog box. I have run the Colorsync Utility and it find profiles, some of which apparently show "Tag Size is not correct" When I run the utility to find the profiles, none of these profiles are listed. Interestingly, the Epson 4000 profiles do show in the printer module for the Lightroom 2 application. Any suggestions on how I can find and use the Epson 4000 printer ICC profiles?

Ramon, thank you for your comments. The profiles which have disappeared from the Photoshop CS4 printer dialog box are the ones from Epson which purport to match the printer (Pro 4000), Epson paper, and Epson Ink relative to color. On my PC these profiles were generally good, though not perfect. They are not custom profiles produced for my system. I believe they originally came as part of the driver installation. (I have reinstalled the Pro 4000 printer driver that came with the printer, and an updated driver from the Epson website, but this has not solved the problem.) The interesting thing is that Lightroom 2 finds the Epson profiles, so I would think that would indicate that the profiles are still somewhere in the computer. I have explored with the Finder and have used the Colorsync utility. The profiles are not in the usual places I would expect (subfiles dealing with profiles generally), but by using the Colorsync utility, I have found a folder which may contain the profiles, but I can't figure out how to open it (what application?). The folder I believe is as follows: /Library/Epson/inkjetprinter/printingmodule/Pro4000_core.plugincontent/Resources/ICC Profiles. In any event, since Lightroom 2 application can find it there, I assume the problem may be the pointers in Photoshop CS4. In any event, it is a problem when printing to the Epson Pro 4000. Since the printer is several years old now, it is difficult to find any of the Epson profiles still available. It is also interesting to note (and this may be relevant) that the Colorsync Utility does not find any of these profiles, except that it finds a list of problem files which may represent one of the profiles and indicates that the reason it is a problem file is that the "Tag Size is not Correct".

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 you use an outside Lab ICC Printer Profile in PSE 12?

I have an image that I scanned in from an old print then I edited it using PSE-12. Now that I've completed the editing and retouching I plan to have the image printed by an outside that has the ability to read ICC Printer Profiles designed for their printers embedded in the image. My proble is I don't know how to add a particular ICC Printer Profile to a image worked on in PSE-12. If I was using Lightroom or PS-CS5 or 6 there is a straight forward way to accomplish this goal.
Is there any way to accomplish the same objective when using PSE-12?

Thanks MichelBParis. I must be getting old (I'm 78) and I completely missed that when I was in Dry Creek Photo. In fact that is where I get all of my ICC Printer Profiles from when I'm using either Lightroom or Photoshop CS. What I'm doing is tutoring a friend on the use of PSE-12 (although I do own a copy for my own use) and I was trying to set him up to use ICC Printer Profiles and avoid letting the labs do "Automatic Color Adjust). I had many images ruined in the past just because the lab did an automatic color adjust until an operator schooled me on what was happening. I'm now a part time photographer and I never send an image to be printed without first making sure I have an applicable ICC Printer Profile embedded. and request the lab to turn off their automatic color adjustment.
Thanks again for the perfect solution.

Unable to install Epson ICC printer profiles in Lion (access privileges message)

I upgraded to Lion and cannot install Epson ICC printer profiles. When I try to install, the installation is halted with the message that I do not have enough access privileges for this installation. Yes, I am the admin (I checked, as I know this is a known issue). I have the current updates to the O/S and the Epson driver. Specifically, these are printer paper profiles for an Espon Stylus Photo R2800 printer.

The ownership of the /Library/ColorSync directory and its contents changed in Lion. You acutally do not have enough priviliges as admin to write to that directory anymore. EPSON's installer does not have the ability to ask you for your password to escalate the admin privileges to root. You should report this to EPSON and insist that they update their installer.
There is a way to get the files installed, but it is pretty involved. I will give you the general idea but USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. There is a risk you could break your system and make it unusable.
With those admonitions in mind, here's the general outline.
1. Go to /Library/ColorSync. Highlight the folder and do a Get Info on it.
2. Under the Sharing & Permissions portion, give "everyone" the ability to Read & Write. Then choose to have this applied to all enclosed items.
3. Run the EPSON installer(s). The profiles will now install.
4. Change the ownership and permissions for all the installed items useing the Terminal--
For the EPSON folder the command is 'sudo chown -R root:wheel path_to_EPSON_folder'
For each and every item in the EPSON folder, the command is 'sudo chmod 644 path_to_item'
5. Open Disk Utility and Repair Permssions.

Argument list too long

I got a directory of about 40.000 files.
I'd like to abuse jar for archiving those files because
a) I'm used to the syntax of jar
b) I thought that enabling indexing, the search for a single file could be very fast.
I said:
> jar -cfi ../blues.jar *
and I got:
> jar: Argument list too long
I got this error on linux, using jar of jdk-1.4.2-beta.
Is this a problem only of the linux-jar?
I started to test this out on an windows pc, but hadn't the time to finish the test, but it looked, as if it would work, because it didn't fail for the first 20 Minutes :).
(It fails nearly immideately on linux).
Is this an error of jar, or of bash?
Would it work, if I create a shell-script, which adds the files one by one?
Will an index really speed up the search for a single file?
It seems to me, as if only directorys are mentioned in the index-file?
Is there a well defined maximum of files that can be put into a jar file?

I found the answer.
It's a bash-related problem.
It's making a list of all that files, and this is too big.
If I change my command:
jar -cfi ../blues.jar .
the directory is visited file by file and there's no problem about 40.000 files (it only takes 20 minutes :)

How large is ARG_MAX in /usr/src/linux/include/linux/limits.h and
MAX_ARG_PAGES in ./include/linux/binfmts.h? On my system (RH6),
ARG_MAX is 128K and MAX_ARG_PAGES is 32 (4K pages). The argument
lists used by the Oracle installer for its subprocesses are
pretty long!

No ICC printer profiles available

I am using Lightroom 2.4 and tried to select a printer / media profile, but there are none of my profiles availabe.
Just if I click the "Include Display Profiles" I can see the display profiles, but no more.
Does any one know how to get the printerprofiles in here, is there a bug?

Which OS
In Both Win XP and Vista 32 adding ICC printer profiles work fine.
In Print-Module -> Print Job Color Management -> Profile : Other you can check the Profiles which should be shown inside LR

Cp leads to "error processing extended attributes: Argument list too long"

With certain PDF files to which I've added a lot of extended attributes (using Skim.app, a PDF reader/annotator which stores its notes in extended attributes), Chronosync and Finder drag-drops don't preserve extended attributes like they're supposed to (i.e. the notes aren't viewable on copies of the document). When I use cp to do they copying, the following message appears in system.log:
error processing extended attributes: Argument list too long
Googling it returns no results

Hi Derick,
error processing extended attributes: Argument list too long
I have no idea why you get this error when copying a file...
There is a max size for each extended attribute (about 3800bytes), and if I try to create (by using a simple C program) an attribute larger than this limit then I get "Argument list too long" error. But in your case you are trying to make a copy of an existing PDF file whose extended attributes should be smaller than the limit, of course (Skim has no magical power of creating an attribute larger than the limit; if the note is too large then I guess Skim just splits the note into two or more attributes).
Q1: do you get the error only if you (try to) copy a PDF file with large notes? or you also get the error for a file with only small notes? How about a PDF file with many small notes?
Q2: are you copying the PDF file to external volumes? If so, are you sure it is HFS+? What happens if you copy the PDF file to the same internal disk volume, for example
cp your.pdf tmp.pdf

Buildall.sh env: javac: Arg list too long

Hi, Having trouble building dbxml in SmartOS (opensolaris).
While building Berkeley DB for Java in a long javac command, the script breaks with error:
env: javac: Arg list too long
make: *** [db.jar] Error 126
$ getconf ARG_MAX
1048320
returns a fairly high number - I built the same on FreeBSD with a much smaller number.
Any suggestions on how to get this built and what is causing the problem?
Thanks in advance!

WORK AROUND:
cd ./dbxml-2.5.16/db-4.8.26/build_unix
create file dbsrcs.txt that lists all the java source files listed in the JAVA_DBSRCS environment variable
it should look like this:
../dist/../java/src/com/sleepycat/util/ErrorBuffer.java
../dist/../java/src/com/sleepycat/util/ExceptionWrapper.java
../dist/../java/src/com/sleepycat/util/ExceptionUnwrapper.java
../dist/../java/src/com/sleepycat/util/PackedInteger.java
../dist/../java/src/com/sleepycat/util/keyrange/KeyRange.java
save dbsrcs.txt file inside dbxml-2.5.16/db-4.8.26/build_unix directory
# nano Makefile
find line:
$(JAVAC) -d $(JAVA_CLASSTOP) $(JAVACFLAGS) $(JAVA_DBSRCS)
and replace with
$(JAVAC) -d $(JAVA_CLASSTOP) $(JAVACFLAGS) @dbsrcs.txt
while inside the dbxml-2.5.16/db-4.8.26/build_unix directory, run make, to just compile Berkeley DB only
once completed, go back to dbxml-2.5.16 and run
./buildall.sh --enable-java
since Berkeley DB was already built, the build script will see this and skip the Berkeley DB compile since it's already compiled!

How print ADDRESSbook simple list? Everything prints scewd right &too long

I'd liike to print out a simple list of names, phone, addresses from my mac AddressBook. Can't I design the layout? Prints first left 1/3 column jjust phone number, center column just name, and all the other info squeezed at the riight margin with several fields that take up space verticle so I can only print sometiimes maybe 4-6 names a page. If i had a lot of notes in the person's 'NOTES' section of their AddressBook page, it will print out everything, even a couple pages. How not print thhat? I want a simple abbbreviated, short list to carry with at least 10-14 names, address,phone,email, etc on each page.
I'mm sure the annswer is around here somewhere, iif only i knew where.
Thanking you foor your help and time.

Hi thelnukus,
Are you saying that you see the list correctly but it is printing in a vertical format albeit somewhat skewed?
I'm not an expert with printing the Address Book in "list" form but have you tried creating a PDF first and then printing that? You do know that you can select/deselect what you wish to include in the list from the "attributes" pane?
My method for printing a list is this:
1. Open Address Book
2. Select in the "Names" column the names that I wish to print a list of.
3. File Menu>Print
4. Select/deselect addresses/email etc. from the attributes pane that you do not wish to include in
the list.
5. Select other features I want such as Font size (regular/large) from the pop up.
6. Select Print (or if that does not work select Save as PDF and then print that).
post back if this doesn't help and try to explain what you are seeing exactly.

I get the same message with Mandrake 6.1.
But I had no problem installing Oracle 8.1.5 std under Mandrake
6.0.
My guess is that Mandrake made some small change that broke the
installation script.
