Icc profiles / specifications for coloursync

Hi all,
I want to use icc profiles for exporting Quicktimes with the filters/coloursync option.
I've installed one in /library/coloursync/profiles/display, which shows up in the coloursync software.
Coloursync checked it and there was no problem.
BUT, it desn't show up in the quicktime export settings dialog under the filters/coloursync!
What's the problem? PCS is lab, Version is 2.3.0 --> can this be the problem, because
all other icc profiles I checked had PCS in xyz.
Here is a downloadlink for the profile: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7893244/Alexa_ASA800.icc
Thanks for your help!
Best regards
Gerhard

Hello,
That's not true. You can use a ICC profile in Finalcut via Effects/Filter/Colorsync.
There you can use ICC profiles in videoworld.
Also there is a tool, called "Alexicc" (http://www.lightillusion.com/alexicc.htm), which
allows to use icc profiles (converted from LUTs) to burn into videomaterial
(in this case prores 444, logC from ARRI Alexa camera)
I have also found a way to convert a LUT into an icc profile (see link above), but the
problem is, as I described, that the icc profile is recognized by the colorsync program
of MacOSX but is not in the list for the colorsync plugin in fcp. So I wanted to know
if there are any kind of problem with the specs of the profile.
Maybe you know the right specs or/and a program to convert icc profiles?
Best regards
Gerhard

SRGB or Blurb icc profile better for soft proofing prior to Book module?

As I understand it images destined for Blurb are converted by the Lr engine into sRGB behind the scenes. To achieve best chance of colour accuracy in the finished Blurb book, is it better to softproof using a sRGB profile or the icc profile* offered on the Blurb Support website. On the surface this icc profile is recommended (by them) for their Booksmart process. Anyone know if that is similar to the Lr Book module process? There is no mention of Lr anywhere on the Blurb color management pages.
It would be great to pin down the answer to this. I cannot find any recommendation for best work practice aimed at getting good colour reproduction in these books; and trial and error, whilst acceptable in making inkjet prints, is a very expensive route when applied to printing a Blurb book.
* And even then, as far as I can see, there is no method for differentiating between the Blurb papers. It is just one profile to fit all.

I tried using 'Export Book to PDF' in the LR Book module with 'Book' set to 'Blurb' and the PDF images are all tagged as sRGB profile and 8-bit color.
SUGGESTION
If you set 'Book' to 'PDF' under 'Book Setting' you can use Adobe RGB profile, 300 ppi, and your own Sharpening selection, which as Andrew Rodney mentioned is a better choice. You can submit the LR Exported PDF at Blurb's 'PDF To Book' upload page and they will do the proper CMYK conversion on their end. The only issue is that the images are still exported in the LR Book module as 8-bit color JPEGs. This may cause banding with a wider gamut profile, but that should be apparent when reviewing the exported book PDF.
Here are some comments from Blurb concerning using Blurbs 'PDF to Book' workflow, which is similar to what I just described:
From Me:
My Workflow Details:
My objective is to process all images in LR4 and then export them as 300 dpi, ProPhoto RGB profile, 16 bit TIFF images for layout in InDesign using Blurb's InDesign plugin (Blurb Book Creator CS6 v2.0.2.34d8). I will soft proof the placed images inside InDesign using its 'Proof Colors' tool and the Blurb_ICC_Profile.icc profile. Once the InDesign layout is complete I will do the RGB to CMYK Blurb_ICC_Profile conversion during the export to PDF process using the Blurb PDF X-3 Export Preset v1-1.
Blurb's Resonse:
Response Via Email(David) - 07/18/2012
Using InDesign and our Blurb InDesign Plug-in does mean you're using the PDF to Book Workflow. This is because your InDesign files will ultimately be exported/uploaded as PDF files.
Regarding, "Once the InDesign layout is complete I would like to do the RGB to CMYK Blurb_ICC_Profile conversion during the export to PDF process":
Unfortunately, there is no option for this and it's actually unnecessary during the export process. Our printers convert and process all images as CMYK using the Blurb ICC Color Profile, so even if you upload/export them with an RGB color profile, they'll be converted to CMYK for the production process.
My Response:
Customer By Email - 07/19/2012 05:10 AM Thanks for the explanation David. It sounds like I can just upload the PDF file using my ProPhoto RGB profiled PDF, but I would prefer to do the conversion from ProPhoto RGB to Blurb ICC CMYK profile. This way I can see the results before uploading the file to Blurb. Can I use the Blurb PDF X-3 Export Preset v1-1 with Output > Color Conversion to Destination > Blurb CC profile, and then upload the PDF file myself? If so please advise where I should upload the file on the Blurb website.
Blurb's Response:
Response Via Email(David) - 07/20/2012 03:49 PM Hi Todd,
If you do end up exporting your PDFs with the workflow you're referring to, you can upload your files here:
http://www.blurb.com/make/pdf_to_book
IMHO there's no reason why Adobe and Blurb couldn't work together so ProPhoto RGB 16-bit images can be used in the book PDF that gets uploaded (or exported!) to Blurb's website. Blurb then handles the CMYK conversion using full-gamut 16-bit images and not clipped sRGB 8-bit images.

Elements 7 - Using Custoim ICC Profiles when Printing in Editor

I have downloaded some custom ICC profiles specific for some papers I use. They are there - I can select the profile printing from the organizer - Color Management>Print space - but they do not appear in the list of options if printing in Editor. Am I forced to print thru Organizer now?

>When you open the box in Editor>Print for the ICC profiles, the box doesn't scroll easily. You have to hold the left mouse button down as you scroll to see the entire list.
Try moving the Print window all the way to the left. If you have a small screen, move it further so that the left half of the Print window is off-screen. Then you should be able to see the scroll bar of the drop-down list of profiles.
This bug was identified in PSE 6, and I had thought it was fixed in PSE 7. But evidently not I was just able to reproduce it on my laptop.

What is the correct icc profile for jpegs extracted from DNGs?

Are they always sRGB, or always something else? do they need an icc-profile assigned for colors to be interpreted properly? is the correct profile available as metadata that could be read using exiftool or such?

Profile/color space can be anything - there is a DNG tag called "PreviewColorSpace" that allows for:
0 = Unknown
1 = Gray Gamma 2.2
2 = sRGB
3 = Adobe RGB
4 = ProPhoto RGB
Good practice would be to attach an ICC profile to the preview, but I don't think there's any requirement to do so.

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.

ICC Profiles and Photoshop Elements 10

Photoshop Elements 10 will not bring up any of the ICC Profiles downloaded for my Epson Stylus 1280. I have photos of the PSE Screen shot showing paper types "NONE" under change settings. And under Printer Settings: Paper Type shows "UNKNOWN".
Whats going on with my PSE 10 and RR ICC Profiles?

Hi ,
go to C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\color
and copy icc profiles to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Color\Profiles
Mac- \Users\Library\ColorSync\Profiles folder
By this PSE will show the list of icc profiles.

Paper icc profiles with 1/2/3 or 4 in the name ??

I would like to know what the significance of the numbers within the canon profile icc paper listings has? For instance, I used the Canon Photo Paper Pro Luster paper type for a print tonight. I used Photoshop CS6 and used the Canon Print Studio Pro plug-in from Photoshop; I set media type at Photo Paper Pro Lustre. But when I chose the icc profile, there were two choices available:
"Canon Pro-1 v1-1 new<LU>1/2/3 Photo Paper Pro Luster " or
"Canon Pro-1 v1-1 new <LU>4 Photo Paper Pro Luster".
(EDIT: my printer is the Canon Pro-1 type model, using ethernet connection, color print, no color match, etc.).
I see where in the regular print driver that under "Main", "Print Quality", "Custom", "Set", that the first slider for Print Quality offers 1 or 2 (but does NOT allow 3 or 4 or 5 which are grayed out and not a choice).
So does anyone understand why there are two icc profiles for "Photo Paper Pro Luster", and
does anyone understand the Print Quality settings and how they apply or how do those work along with the 1/2/3 and 4 in the icc profile choices?
Thanks, Debra

I think I found an explanation in one of the Canon manuals for the Pro-1 printer (Page 77), which I printed out last week certain pages.
It states:
Icc profiles installed for this printer(pro-1) are as follows:
Canon XXXXX <GL> <PP> 1/2 Photo Paper Plus Glossy&Gold
(1) is the model name of printer (the XXXXX part)
(2) is the print quality (the 1/2 part)
The print quality is divided into 5 levels, ranging from high speed to high quality. As the number decreases, the print quality becomes higher. This value corresponds to the QUALITY slide bar in the CUSTOM dialog box of the printer driver.
(3) is the media type. (the Photo paper.....Gold part)
This media name corresponds to the following media type:
Photo Paper Plus Glossy II N: Photo Paper Plus Glossy II N
Photo Paper Plus Glossy&Gold: Photo Paper Plus Glossy II
Photo Paper Pro Platinum: Photo Paper Pro Platinum
etc.
Page at the bottom shows 77, but I am not sure which of the several user guide/manuals that it was printed from.

Photoshop can't print to Canon Pro9000 Mark II - ICC profile issue

I'm using Photoshop CS with OS 10.6.2. I have the latest Canon driver, 10.30.3.0, and the latest ICC profile set for Canon from the Apple driver site. As I begin the print dialogue everything seems fine. Photoshop is controlling color management, and I select the Canon paper/quality ICC profile. After I click print, it sends the print job and I get the following error: Could not print "test.jpg" because the ICC profile is no longer installed.
I can load the same image into Photoshop Elements 6 and everything works fine, except I have the familiar Canon magenta cast syndrome I still need to work through.
Any ideas on the "no longer installed" error?
Thanks!

The Canon ICC profiles for the respective paper stocks are stored in /Libary/Printers/Canon/BJPrinter/Resources/ICCProfiles. You should have one labelled "Pro9000IIseries.canonicc". I wonder if this profile may have been damaged with the recent 10.30.3 update, assuming that you had the previous driver installed.
FYI - I found that running the update via Software Update did not correctly update the installed Canon drivers. Even deleting the queue and re-adding still showed the previous 10.26 driver. I found that I had to download the v2.3 Canon update and run it manually. Only then did the installed queues show the v10.30 update. Maybe you need to try the same?
One way you could check if the profile is okay outside of PS is to print the image from Preview and via the Canon menus, set Color Matching to ColorSync and then select the profile you selected in PS. If you get a similar error then you know that it is a driver issue rather than being related to the application.
Note that regarding PSE6, Adobe previously acknowledged that there was an issue with double color management, ie both PSE6 and the printer was controlling the color output. Adobe's suggestion at the time was to disable color management in PSE6 and let the printer manage the color.

Read ICC profile information of an image

Dear community,
for my further implementation I need some information about the ICC profile used for an actual image edited inside Photoshop. How can I read the ICC informations about an image?
I am implementing an export plug-in and found some ICC component inside the ExportRecord struct, called:
Handle iCCprofileData; /**< Handle containing the ICC profile for the image. (NULL if none.)
                                            Photoshop allocates the handle using the Photoshop handle suite.
                                            The handle is unlocked while calling the plug-in.
                                            The handle is valid from \c ExportSelectorStart to \c ExportSelectorFinish
                                            Photoshop frees the handle after \c ExportSelectorFinish. */
int32 iCCprofileSize; /**< Size of profile. */
int32 canUseICCProfiles; /**< Non-zero if the host can accept or export ICC profiles .
                                            If this is zero, the plug-in should not set or dereference \c iCCprofileData. */
What I am not understand:
How can I read the iCCprofileData and which information will be delivered by the iCCprofileSize?
For iCCprofileData I got int values like @179952120 or @179952176. They differ for every loaded image. Seems that I just read the memory address. The "Handle" points to an empty char '\0'. I have no idea how to work with the datatype "Handle" correctly ...
For the iCCprofileSize I got integer values like 544 for the embedded profile Adobe RGB (1998), 3144 for the working color space sRGB IEC61966-2.1 or also 3144 for the embedded profile without color management:
embedded profile = Adobe RGB (1998) -> iCCprofileSize = 544 (or sometimes 560)
working color space = sRGB IEC61966-2.1 -> iCCprofileSize = 3144
embedded profile = without color management -> iCCprofileSize = 3144
embedded profile = SWOP2006_Coated3v2 -> iCCprofileSize = 2747952
working color space = Coated FOGRA39 (ISO 12647-2:2004) -> iCCprofileSize = 654352
embedded profile = without color management -> iCCprofileSize = 654352
The variable canUseICCProfiles delivers always the value 1. As well if I selected the embedded profile without color management.
Can I infer from the iCCprofileSize which profile will be used by each image?
Does somebody has more experience with these there members (iCCprofileData, iCCprofileSize and canUseICCProfiles) of the struct ExportRecord?
I would be grateful for some hints.
King regards,
Silver

Help Photoshop/Monitor Calibration and ICC Profiles.

I don't know if this is the right place to ask this, I am completely new here, if I am not, can you help show me where I can get answers to this?
If you can help me, then please. (:
So I'm helping my dad with a photography studio over the summer to make money for a car and I will be doing the editing and such.
I have CS4 on a laptop, that is connected to a NEC monitor with Multisync P221W with the Spectraview II calibration software.
We have done a few pictures before but it has always taken us a few prints from the costco photo center to get the colors and lighting right because
it always seems to be different than how I see it on the monitor. I have been told install the ICC profiles from http://www.drycreekphoto.com/icc/Profiles/California_profiles.htm#CA . I live in the victorville area, and there are 4 ICC profiles, 2 for each printer. How do I install all 4? And how do I switch from one to the other? Also how do I set up my NEC monitor for photo editing, the Spectraview program calibrates it and says that it's set up for Photo editing but are there standard values for the colors, gamma, etc? And also how do I set up Photoshop CS4 for editing, I have been told to go to color settings but I don't know what to do once I get there.
Thanks for your time.

Apparently photoshop is applying additional color correction on top of
what the monitor calibration software has already done. Is this
necessary? If this step is necessary, then why doesn't the monitor
calibration software do that, so that photoshop doesn't have to,
Photoshop doesn't apply any color correction to the images per se, it just operates in a selected color space, and takes into account your monitor profile.
The monitor calibration tells your video card - or the monitor itself for some high end monitors, how it should be set to meet chosen targets, and generates a profile for the monitor.
1. Caibrate your monitor and generate a profile
2. Tell your OS that that it your monitor profile
3. Set Photoshop to work in the space of your choice - sRGB, Adobe RGB, or ProPhoto 99% of the time
That takes you to a state where everything is in order more or less. If at this point your images look out of whack, it's almost certainly because they are, perhaps because they were previously corrected on a non-calibrated setup.
Photoshop and other color managed application should display them all more or less exactly the same, provided the files themselves have a color profile .

Color management - Spyder2 PRO or Custom ICC profile?

I've got a Canon MP800 (multi-function inkjet) that I use at home for prints. As I get more serious about photography, I'm noticing that the colors I get on my prints are not matching what I see on my monitor very well.
I'm using an Apple LCD, and I've done the software calibration and created a custom monitor profile. From within Aperture, I then use the canned Canon print profile for the type of paper I'm using. In the print dialog box, I select "no color management". Still, the prints tend to have a slight orange cast or they are "warmer" than I see them on my monitor.
I am considering two possible next steps, and I'd like to get your feedback on which would be most appropriate for my set-up.
1. Get the Spyder2 PRO Studio hardware/software combo, or
2. Get a custom ICC profile made for my printer through Neil Barstow/Pixl
They cost about the same, but I'm wondering what would give me the best prints. I'm still a novice when it comes to color management, but I'm reading Martin Evening's "PS CS2 for Photographers" and learning a lot.
Your help is appreciated!

I thought I'd mention that I have the EyeOne Display 2, and it came with a certificate that takes $200 off the csot of the more advanced system if I decide to upgrade at some point...
So the earlier note about profiling the monitor first is a good one, and you might be out as much money if you do need to also profile the printer.
I'll add a note that everyone really needs to profile monitors, especailly if you have two or you aren't really comapring apples to apples when doing image comparisons across both screens.
Confusingly the EyeOne instructions claim if you have two monitors running on one video card it can only profile one of the monitors. That's not true on the Mac, you just need to move the menu bar to the screen you wish to profile. OS X has an icc profile per screen that gets set by the software.

Preflight - for specific ICC-profile in images

Hi there
This sort of has my head spinning.
Is it possible to do a pdf analysis to check that all images use a specific icc-profile(FOGRA27)?
I know it can be done in many different ways(Output Inspector for one) and by using the PDF fixup that converts to CMYK only.
But I cant seem to create a profile that targets that specific issue without applying fixups.
Basically I just want a list of images that are not in FOGRA27. Not a list of non-CMYK/Spot or similar. Can this be done in Acrobat 9?
I'm aware that ensuring can be done in many ways earlier on, but I need it to be done in Acrobat. Guess it has become a challenge now. :-)
I also need to figure out whether this can be done in the preflight in InDesign CS4.

Yes.
On a Macintosh they should be placed at /Library/ColorSync/Profiles/ .

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 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.

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.
