ICC profile for iPhoto album

I just got my first iPhoto album at home.
I'm a little disappointed about the quality, because all photo's are a little bit to dark.
Is there an icc-profile which I can use in Photoshop so I can optimize the pictures before placing in a album?

The profile used by iPhoto is 'generic RGB'. It is indeed best to convert files before importing, because iPhoto handles profiles in a very strange way. It is possible that it has been changed (improved ?) in the latest updates, but I could not find any official information on that. I posted test results of different profiles some months ago, but it must have been cleaned from the forum recently, I can't find them anymore.
If you're not satisfied with results, you should get your book refunded/reprinted by calling customer support.

  • ICC profiles for Photosmart Premium C410a

    I have a Photosmart Premium C410a and previously had a C309 series.  I am using Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit).  I am trying to print from Photoshop Lightroom 3 using the managed by application setting which requires ICC profiles for the printer. When I access the "Choose Profiles" window no ICC profiles appear for the C410, but the profiles I used for the old C309 do appear.
    How do I find the ICC profiles for the C410 and load them onto my computer?
    Thanks for your help.

    Thanks for the links ... it is a start in right direction, except they say to selct printer & paper profile ... and that is the issue - there are none.
    The issue for me is that when I select Print within photoshop ... I get the color management options ...
    http://i771.photobucket.com/albums/xx351/Tafflad/Computer/setingsfortestprint.jpg
    You can see the option on right for "Color Handling"  it is set to "printer manages color"
    Ideally I should be setting this to "Photoshop manages color"  and under "printer Profile"  choose the correct printer/paper combination ...   i.e. something like  HP-C410 glossy  or HP-C410 matte
    There are no ICC color profiles there for HP.
    I have downloaded and installed the full HP driver package for the printer.  (for PC W7)
    Hence my question (and the original posters) do HP have ICC profiles available .... epson produce them for their printers for example.

  • 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

  • ICC profiles for HP Photosmart 7520 from other manufacturers

    Hi
    I am looking for ICC profiles from other manufacturers for a HP Photosmart 7520. I have been searching days now and have found nothing for my printer.
    Where can I find other manufacturers ICC profiles if they are available? OR if there are none profided, why?
    TIA
    Alex

    Hi asdiaz,
    I understand you have a Photosmart 7520 that you're wanting different ICC profiles for. I will do my best to guide you in this.
    This isn't something that we support, but in doing a bit of research I was able to find a link to Adobe ICC Profile, and this International Color Consortium page that has a few different suggestions.
    Hopefully these pages will get you in the right direction! Have a good one!

  • Icc profiles for hp 5530 envy

    Seeking ICC profiles for the hp 5530 all in one printer.  Needed for improved color control when printing from Photoshop Elements 12.  Currently getting very dark printing with current criteria.

    Hi @OregonKnight
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums.  I see that you would like to know more about color profiles for your Envy 5530 printer.
    I have included the Advanced Color Management for HP Next-Generation Inkjet Printing Products document.  It discusses ICC profile settings.

  • ICC profiles for Epson R1800 and Lightroom - Mac Osx

    Without trying to inflame an already heated discussion on prints that are too dark under my lightroom - printer - Mac Osx configuration. (Although I too am a sufferer of the darkness...!)
    I have recently downloaded the latest ICC profiles for the R1800 directly from Epson to my Mac. There are three of them and for arguments sake they cover the paper type I want "Premium Glossy Photo Paper"
    They download as a .sea file and not .icc as I expected.... My knowledge of Mac's doesnt extend to .sea files I'm afraid.
    My question is what do i do with the file now that its downoaded?... Nothing happens when you double click on it and It doesnt appear to try to find where to install itself.
    On another thread I read about dropping these files into Library - Colorsync - Profiles. They sit there happily but do not appear to show up in Lightroom when I wish to utilise the profiles.
    All the original Epson profiles are there from when I installed the Epson Drivers (new and updated) but no new profiles are there. This is definitely the case as the profile "Premium Glossy Photo Paper" is still there but its name should be changed to "Premium Photo Paper Glossy" according to the Epson website... Besides.. If I delete the new files and go back into Lightroom nothing has changed.
    Am i placing these files in the wrong area?
    Many thanks for any replies

    I suspect that some R1800 users have perhaps not tackled the issue of dark prints and may not be feel that they have an issue at all. I also believe that this particular issue only involves Intel Mac's which may not apply to some.
    Your issue may have something to do with the printer driver as well... I made sure that I went and found the very latest driver that Epson has out (there is a new one specifically for Intel Mac's). I made sure that I deleted the driver that came with the original disk.... I did this via the "printer setup utility"... then downloaded and installed the new driver.
    Only then did I go through the procedure for installing the new icc profiles as discussed...
    The profiles should then automatically appear in Lightroom and in colosync in the "Finder" screen under:
    " Users" > then whatever your computer name is > Library > Colorsync > Profiles
    The new profiles should then be seen.
    This is certainly the way I did it and perhaps the whole process has to be gone through for an Intel Mac.
    Hope this helps... I am nowhere near a computer expert but it worked for me.

  • ICC Profiles for papers and not for HP printers.

    Hello, I apologize if this has been asked a billion times before, but I have been trying to find the ICC profiles to install for a different printer. 
    I am not using a HP printer, but a Canon iP6000D.  Let me explain, I'm a student and my class required me to buy different papers that were not for my original printer and I have to install ICC profiles for the papers I chose. My problem is I cannot find the ICC profiles for the paper I bought on the HP site, it's very unweildy and hard to find here. I had no problem finding my moab printer paper ICC profiles...  HP seems to enjoy hiding their profiles.
    So where would I find the iCC profiles for the Hp premium plus Photo paper that is Soft gloss 8.5x11" 200gm 80lb? I've looked all over and it seems to be impossible to find.

  • Icc profiles for printing?

    Convert from Windows!
    Have a Epson Stylus 2200 photo printer. Need to load icc profiles from Ilford.com for the Galeria printing papers. Need some guidance in loading these icc profiles.
    Thanks!

    Any help on this topic. Is there a default place to put icc profiles for a printer. EPSON profiles show up when I print. Just need to find out where I place the ilford profiles for this printer.
    Thanks,

  • Where can I download ICC profile for Canon paper?

    Hi,
    I bought a new MacBookPro and suddenly the ICC profiles that used to be in my Canon Pixma Pro 10 are missing.  I'm specifically looking for: Canon luster, platinum, museum etching.  Can anyone point me to the right direction please?  Thanks.

    I am having a similar problem.  I had previously printed on my new Canon Pixma Pro 10 to Canon Photo Paper Pro Luster from my MacBook Pro retina running 10.10.3.  I upgraded to Lightroom 6.  Now I do not have the ICC profile for the luster paper available under Color Management in LR6.  I downloaded and reinstalled the print driver but that didn't give me the profile.  All of the ICC profile downloads that I can find are for other vendors' papers.  The link in ssprengel's post takes me to the driver download page but it doesn't give me the Canon paper ICC profiles. Help.

  • Icc profile for deskjet 959c

    Is it possible to use another printer's ICC profile for lightroom? It seems that there is none for the above printer -- too old probably.

    Things went allright until point no. 9 in Step 2.
    When the installation is complete, a message displays on the computer stating that the product was added successfully did not appear. However, the printer 990c appeared in the list of printers.
    After connecting the USB cable to the computer,  Device driver software was not successfully installed   window did not open. 
    However, I decided to continue with step 3. But Printer properties --> Ports --> Drop down menu did not show USB nor DOT4.

  • ICC profile for Aperture books?

    All-
    I've looked around Apple's web site and have not been able to find an ICC profile for soft-proofing a book. Does anyone know of a source for such a thing?
    Thanks,
    Andreas

    Having watched an Apple video detailing the benefits that Aperture offers in terms of on-screen colour proofing I found it strange that there is no profile for Apple's book printing partner in Europe (or the US).
    Wouldn't it be useful for Apple to include a profile for the own printing partner 'in the box' so that users can on-screen colour proof their book before sending. After all, this is supposed to be one of Aperture's main features. I can't understand why they don't. At least they could expand on the reasoning behind this.

  • ICC profile for windows

    Hi
    I have bought at screen calibrator and have created an icc profile for windows.
    I have Adobe photoshop elements and Lightroom, how do i get the colors to be be same in these 2 programs and even same as other program like windows previewer

    Hello,
    The link should help.
    If you check in your printing preferences and see if under Color Management you have an option of Application Managed Colors.  If so an ICC profile should exist for your printer and you can follow the steps in the link below to set up your driver and Adobe.

    If this doesn't work updating your printer driver may help.

  • How to select the printer and select the ICC profile for printing with VBScript?

    I try to automate my printing procedure in photoshop. The problem is that I don't know how to select the printer and select the icc profile for printing with vbscript like I manually do in the print-menu in photoshop?

  • Icc profiles for HP photopapers

    I have a Photosmart D7260 printer with HP Advanced and HP Premium Plus photopaper but the prints are always too dark.  I'm trying to get better colour rendition in prints and I'm exploring letting Photoshop Elements 8 control print output, but I need to download the icc profiles for these papers. I can't find them on the HP site.  Please avoid overly technical answers please.

  • Embedding ICC profiles for third party printing?

    Hi,
    This is a question regarding Elelments 11 and embedding ICC profiles. I have succesfully set up a colour balanced system for printing on my own premises. At the time of printing I select the relevant ICC profile for the printer/ink combo I am using. However I need to send files way for larger sizes and want to ensure colour correct prints that match as closely as possible the prints I produce in my own studio.
    How do I embed the third parties provided ICC profile in the file before sending to them?
    Any help on the correct process would be appreciated,
    thanks
