ICC Profile on Mac

Hello there,
after reading through the ICC threads, I found some similar symptoms to my problem, but not the whole story...
I'd like to print from Lightroom (Mac/German version) using my printer's ICC profile as using the printer settings and defaults only results in a rather dull image, almost without any reds. When I click on "Other..." in the Color Management area, there is only one printer profile (hp color LaserJet RGB v402) in the list but nothing else. I have the ICC profiles for my Konica/Minolta/QMS Magicolor 2350 in the /Library/ColorSync/Profiles folder but, as said, these profiles don't show up.
When I export the image to JPEG and print it with the Preview program, colors are colorful.
Any ideas why Lightroom doesn't show a long list of printer profile (including mine) as in all the beautiful screenshots in the manual and elsewhere?
Bernd

Hello Andrew,
ColorSync Utility repair ran fine and without problems.
Looking at the color spaces makes me a bit wonder however. I've meanwhile installed one of the Epson ICC files and that one shows up along the HP one that already was there from somewhere. Both, the HP and the Epson profiles are RGB profiles while the one for the Magicolor 2350 is a CMYK profile. Now, CMYK isn't Lightroom's cup of tea, but could/does this really extend to printing profiles?

  • 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.

  • CUSTOM ICC PROFILES DO NOT SHOW UP IN PSCS 6 MAC OS 10.8.4 BUT ARE OK IN CS5

    The only icc profiles that show up in CS 6 Mac OS 10.8.4 are the ones that are installed from the printer driver ( Epson 9900 ) Any other single or custom profiles  do not show up when placed Library/Colorsync/Profiles
    All profiles show up in CS 5, There has been a lot of discussion of this on many forums with no solution. I have also tried installing the profiles in the contents folder of the Epson printer in the main library folder with no luck. Please advise

    Mac OS 10.8.4 is still in beta. You need to be reporting this to Apple.
    What happens if you move these profiles to the Adobe/Profiles folder, or the users/Library/Colorsync/Profiles folder?
    There has been a lot of discussion of this on many forums with no solution.
    What forums? A google search turns up nothing but this thread.
    I have not seen this problem with the released versions of 10.8.

  • Icc profiles are not being recognized by epson printer from LR 5 in Mac OS 10.10 yosemite

    After switching to Mac OS 10.10 (Yosemite) my epson 3880 is no longer recognizing the icc profiles. Is anyone else having this issue?
    I've already reinstalled all epson drivers and printer options to no avail. I'm thinking that lightroom and the printer are not communicating the icc profile info?

    That's not how it works. If LR does the color management, it converts the image from its working space (linear ProPhoto RGB) to the space defined by the ICC printer profile that you have designated in the Print module and sends to the printer that (converted) data. The printer driver should be set to "No Color Management" and therefore has no need to know the ICC profile. If you set LR to "Color Management: Managed by Printer", no profile is designated in LR, the data is sent unconverted, and you have to set the driver interface to the appropriate ICC profile - again no communication of the printer profile, although LR does send data that describes the working space so that the driver can make the conversion.

  • 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 on the mac questions

    There seem to be multiple locations in OSX for icc profiles. I've found them in system/library/coloursync, library/coloursync and user/library/coloursync. Both display and printer profiles seem to be mixed up in these 3 locations.
    Is there a preferred location for different profiles - or does Aperture/OSX find things as required (ie, it 'just works') ?
    Also - my lab sent me its .icc profiles which I've copied into my system/library/colorsync/profiles directory. Aperture seems to find them okay. Are .icc files universal (ie, mac and PC) ? I didn't specify that I was a Mac user when I requested the icc profiles.

    [snip]
    I cant' speak as to whether display and print profiles should go in different places, or Mac vs. PC profiles, but the general rules for which Library folder to use are:
    /System/Library: Don't mess with it. If an installer puts stuff there, that's fine, but the /System folder and all its contents should be considered hands-off at the user level unless you know what you're doing (the greatest ability to screw up the system comes from mucking around in the /System folder).
    /Library: Files (in this case ICC profiles) put in this folder's subfolders will be available to all users of the computer.
    /Users/Username/Library: Files put in this folder's subfolders will be available only to the user specified. Other users will not have access to them.
    So basically, if you have multiple users on your Mac and you want them all to have access to the ICC profiles, put them in /Library/ColourSync/Profiles. If you only want yourself to be able to use them, they go in /Users/your username/Library/ColourSync/Profiles.
    If you only have one user, and will never add any users to the computer, then placing things in /Library or /Users/username/Library will always yield the same results - you'll always have access to them.
    You probably haven't broken anything by putting the other ones in the /System/Library/ColourSync/Profiles folder, but you may want to take them out and put them in the appropriate place, for consistency.
    Also remember that the user's Library folder is checked by applications first, then the /Library, and lastly the /System/Library. That's the magic of how it "just works" no matter which Library you put the files in.

  • Possible solution for problems printing with ICC profiles - esp. R2400

    (N.B. This is long because I've decided to go in to details about the background of the problem etc.. Also note that whilst my experience is with the Epson R2400, anyone with problems printing using ICC profiles in Aperture may find this post helpful, as will be explained further down the post.)
    Ok, here's the situation. I've been an Aperture user for over a year, and an R2400 owner for half a year. In that time I have done a huge amount of experimenting, but I've never managed to get Aperture to work perfectly with Epson's 'premium' R2400 ICC profiles - the ones you can download from their site which are better than the ones provided 'in the box'. This hasn't been too big a deal because, in fact, the R2400 does a rather good job just set to 'System Managed' in Aperture and 'Epson Vivid' with a gamma of 1.8 in the printer driver. Nevertheless, it really annoyed me that something that should work wasn't, which is why I've spent a lot of time trying to figure out what's going on. Having said that, I have come across a method which will give you pretty good prints out of your Epson R2400 using the premium profiles in Aperture - it's not perfect, but it's the best you're going to get if you want to use those profiles in Aperture. I understand the words 'it's not perfect' aren't what photography experts would probably want to hear, however, I have seen a few anguished posts from R2400 owners in here before, so I think some people may find it useful.
    The whole reason why Aperture is hopeless at using the R2400's premium profiles is because - unusually - their default rendering intent is set to 'relative colorimetric' rather than 'perceptual'. You might say 'but that's good - it means you get more accurate colours!', and if you do, you're right... however, there's a snag. To get an image to reproduce well using Epson's premium profiles and relative colorimetric rendering, you really need to use black point compensation. This is where the trouble lies: Aperture's black point compensation is diabolical to the point of being unusable when used with relative colorimetric rendering - I feel I need to be awarded compensation every time I've ever tempted to use the setting. So because BPC in Aperture is unusable, that effectively makes the premium profiles unusable too, because Aperture always uses the default rendering intent specified in the profile.
    The solution? Use perceptual rendering instead. Ok, so you can't change the rendering intent in Aperture, which makes that sound a tad difficult. However, as I said in the above paragraph, Aperture always obeys the default rendering intent specified in the profile... so you can see where we're going with this: we need to change the ICC profiles' default rendering intent from 'relative colorimetric' to 'perceptual'. I did some digging around and found one or two expensive pieces of software that could do that... but then I found that, lo and behold, the Mac OS has a command-line utility which can do the job for us, for precisely £0.00. It's called SIPS or 'Scriptable Image Processing System', and you can find out some information about it here: http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn/tn2035.html#TNTAG58 For those who don't like reading technical jargon however, here's what you need to do to convert a profile's rendering intent. First go to terminal, then type in the following command:
    sips -s renderingIntent perceptual
    Do not press 'enter' yet. Instead, add a space after 'perceptual', find the ICC profile you want to modify, and click and drag it into the terminal window. You should then find that your command looks something like this:
    sips -s renderingIntent perceptual /Users/yourname/folder/RandomProfile.ICC
    At which point you can then press 'enter', and the command will execute, giving you an ICC profile which will now make Aperture use perceptual rendering.
    There is just one further thing to be aware of after doing this: for some crazy reason, you then need to turn on BPC in Aperture for the prints to come out as good as possible. Black point compensation shouldn't make any difference when using perceptual rendering as the idea of perceptual is that it takes account of things like that anyway, however, in Aperture BPC does make a difference, so remember to turn it on to get a half decent print. In general, I find that prints made using this setup come out pretty well; they almost perfectly match prints made using the profiles with a perceptual intent in Photoshop Elements, except for the fact that Aperture blocks up the shadows a bit more than Photoshop. However, if you can live with that, you might find this is quite a workable solution.
    Now, I said near the beginning of this post that all the above can apply to other printers too. Most printer profiles have 'perceptual' set as their default rendering intent, in which case everything I've just said won't be of much help. However, If you are reading this because you're having problems with ICC profiles in Aperture, but you don't use an Epson R2400, find your problematic ICC profile, double-click on it, and take a look at the window that opens: specifically, at the 'Rendering Intent' the window mentions. If it doesn't say 'Perceptual' then it may well be worth trying the steps I've outlined in this post to set it to perceptual, to see if doing so produces an improvement when using the profile in Aperture.
    Finally, just one note of caution: if you decide to try out the steps I've detailed above on a paid-for custom-made profile, please back your profile up before messing with it. I haven't experienced any problems when using SIPS to change a profile's rendering intent, but I obviously can't guarantee that it won't do something weird and corrupt your expensive custom-made profile.
    If you have any questions, feel free to ask, although (contrary to any impression I may give) I am not a colour-management expert; I'm just someone who doesn't give up when they have a problem that should be solvable.

  • ICC profiles assigned to text?

    CS5 (patched to 7.03), Mac OS 10.6.7
    Hi Everyone,
    My production coordinator made a PDF of my magazine for the printer yesterday and when he ran it through PitStop, several errors turned up to the effect of text having an ICC profile assigned to it. The text was several instances of periods and commas, the color was [Black] 100%, Adobe Caslon font, same as the rest of the text on the page and throughout the magazine that didn't get dinged as an error. Retyping the offending characters fixed the problem, but how can something like this happen? Or rather, How can it be detected from within InDesign rather than in PitStop?
    We import Word docs styled with Word styles into InDesign to lay out the magazine.
    PDFs are created by printing to ps file then distilled with the joboptions the printer provided.
    I admit I know very little about color management (we don't use profiles, per printer request, so I've had limited exposure) but I thought it was only for images and profiles couldn't get assigned to individual characters of text.
    Thanks for your insight!

  • 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.

  • ICC profile conflicts when printing from Aperture?

    I have worked with Aperture now for two years, and I still have problems printing anything that is close enough to what I see on my calibrated screen. And believe me, I have done some reading on color management and ICC profiles. I suspect that Aperture pulls in ICC color profiles in a way that doesn't allow reproducing what I see on the screen. I wonder if these problems are related to the Registered ColorSync devices: opening ColorSync Utility under Devices reveals a bunch of default printers with a diversity of profiles, even if I have no access to these printers (in part these are network printers of my previous employment). I cannot figure out how I can delete these entries: I tried to find remaining printer profiles of these printers in my files, but could not find anything. How can I delete these entries, and can these entries cause color profile conflicts?
    More specificially: I work with Aperture 2.1.3 and view my photos on a calibrated 23" Cinema display, run from a MBP with 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 10.5.6, and 2GB of memory. My monitor is calibrated with a Spyder for D65 and gamma of 2.2. I print with an Epson 3800 on Epson paper.
    Here is my problem: despite calibrated monitor I don't get the prints to look even remotely close to what I get on my screen. Of course, I use the correct ICC profiles for my papers, and of course I have Aperture (and not the printer) run color management. It seems, however, that my prints resemble my monitor more if I use strange profiles such as "Wide Gamut RGB" or "ProPhoto RGB" as my monitor's profile instead of the calibrated D65, gamma 2.2.
    In detail, here are my regular print settings in Aperture:
    Print Mode: AccuPhoto HD
    Color Mode: Off (No Color Management)
    Output Resolution: SuperPhoto - 1440 dpi
    Advanced Color Settings: Epson Driver Color Management is Off.
    In the Aperture Print menu I use under Printer Selection:
    ColorSync Profile: for example, Pro38 PGPP, when I use Epson Premium Photo Paper Glossy
    Black Point Compensation checked.
    Gamma: 1:00
    Under Layout Options I use Print Resolution: Use Best DPI
    With these settings the prints look significantly colder than what I see on the screen. Of course, a certain amount of the warmth of the screen colors comes from the calibration to D65 and gamma of 2.2, but shouldn't this give me the best correspondence between the calibrated screen and the print (using of course the color management of the application with ICC profiles, not the printer driver color management)?
    I tried the same in CS4 and Lightroom, but no difference. Again, the problem is not that the prints are terrible: they are just not very close to what I see on the calibrated screen.
    Where do I make a mistake? All suggestions are very welcome! This is driving me crazy. Many thanks for your help!
    Best,
    Kai

    While the technical aspects of color management are complex, they are largely irrelevant for users.
    The following steps have worked well for me:
    Step One: Calibrate your monitor. I use the Datacolor Spyder. This produces a monitor profile. Use System Preferences to set your monitor to use this profile. Don't use this profile for anything else and give it a clear name so that you don't confuse it with a printer profile.
    Step Two: Download and install the latest drivers for your printer. Buy a small box of photo paper (gloss, semi-gloss) from the manufacturer of your printer. Make sure that you have the correct ICC profiles for this paper and printer. You are trying to establish a baseline.
    Step Three: Pick an image with a reasonable range of colors and exposures. (Don't start with a "difficult" image.) Turn soft proofing off and adjust the image as desired.
    Step Four: Send this image to the printer. Load up the manufacturer's paper.
    Step Five: In the "print" dialog, go to the "Printer Settings" sub menu and select the correct "Quality and Media" and the appropriate setting for "photo" quality. Make sure that all of the color options are neutral. Save.
    Step Six: Back on the "Print" dialog select the correct ICC profile for your paper/printer. (Careful, DON'T use the calibrated monitor profile!) Adjust other settings as required. Save and name the preset.
    Step Seven: Print and Pray. (And pray I haven't missed a step - sorry I'm not at my Mac. From your initial post, it sounds like you know how to do all of this.)
    The results should be reasonably close. (That is why you should use the printer manufacturer's own paper and profiles as a starting point.)
    If you are happy, great - get a beer. If not, try the following, making only one change at a time:
    == Turn Soft Proofing on using the profile of the paper/printer. (Don't select the profile for your monitor, or any other.) Do the screen and print match now? If so, then you know to do your adjusting with soft proofing on. Remember, soft proofing is not exact - it is merely an attempt to make your screen look like the combination of paper and printer.
    == If Soft Proofing makes your monitor look LESS like the print, then don't don't use Soft Proofing.
    == If the results are close, you can make fine adjustments using the "Printer Settings" sub menu and saving presents. For example; I use a lot of CostCo paper in my Canon Pixma Pro9000. CostCo says that their paper mimics Canon's Photo Paper Pro, so I use the settings and profile for that paper, but I tweek the cyans and reds a bit in printer settings.
    I have found that Red River profiles are a very good match for their papers.
    Hope this helps. Good luck!

  • Colour Calibration for 24" iMac and setting up an ICC profile

    Hi,
    Can anyone recommend a way for calibrating the display of a 24" iMac (not too expensive)? I will mainly be using Photoshop, Aperture and web browsing (I do not need for business, but like to have the best set up possible).
    Also, on a similar note, can anyone suggest a cost effective way of getting an ICC profile for use with Photoshop (CS2) and Aperture for an HP Photosmart 3210 please?
    Thanks

    Hi Kevin
    As your based in the UK feel free to contact me with regards to obtaining display profiles for your 24" iMac, and possibly output profiles for your printer.
    We are hoping to add a 24" iMac (or should that be BigMac to our studio as a training machine and backup to our other Macs in the very near future. As soon as we get our machine it will only be a day or so before I get it profile and I would be quite willing to email you a copy of our screen profile free of charge for you to test, this should get you pretty good results.
    As part of our business we carry out colour management training and that obviously includes creating colour profiles. We use a Gretag i1 Pro to calibrate and profile our screens to a very high level so I think it may be worth you giving me a call soon. Feel free to call me on 01773 717446 or email me at [email protected]

  • ICC Profiles: Why No Embedding Upon JPEG Export?

    Hi all! I'm sure this has been discussed here before, but a forum search revealed many unrelated threads. So here's my question: why doesn't Lightroom support embedding ICC profiles? The lack of this feature seems more of a design issue than something they haven't had time to add, so I'm curious to know if anyone knows why Adobe has chosen to skip this feature. I'm no ICC expert, so perhaps there's a good reason, but it would be nice to have it as an option to get JPEG images that match the ICC profile of my monitor...
    Anyone have any insight on this issue?

    >What ICC profile does it embed then since it doesn't offer the user a choice?
    It offers the user a choice between sRGB, adobeRGB and prophotoRGB. It always embeds the profile. You can tell whether the profile is embedded in lots of programs. One of them is preview in mac os X for example. Another is photoshop.
    >let's say that I'm sending an image off to get printed at an online printer. What ICC profile would I want to have embedded in the JPEG?
    You want to use a working space profile such as sRGB. your monitor's profile is only meaningful to you as there is no second monitor like yours in the world. If the printer is good, they will convert your image from your monitor's profile to their printer's profile, but very few online labs do this and it is usually a recipe for bad prints. Most just assume your image is in sRGB, whether it is tagged/embedded or not. Your safest bet therefore is sRGB. If the lab/printer indicates that they really color manage and they seem to know what they are talking about, you can try using a wider space such as adobeRGB or even prophotoRGB.
