Icc profiles, where to put?

in leopard there was a Colorsync folder both in the system Library and in my user Library. the one in the user Library was where the icc profiles i developed through calibration and through acquisition went. in SL, there is no Colorsync folder in the user Library. where should i put these profiles? in the System Library?

/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/Displays/. At least that's where my calibrated ones are located, but mine are single-user machines.

Where are ICC profiles stored in Aperture? Formerly they were stored in the home map. I make my own ICC profiles, with Color Munki. I can't find them back in the /library/colorSync/Profiles. I'm using a Canon printer iPF5100

ICC profiles
Formerly ICC profiles where placed in the Home map: library/colorcync/profiles. But the home map does

Kees, the color profiles are still stored in your user library in
~/ColorSync/Profiles/
I can't find them back in the /library/colorSync/Profiles.
Are you looking in the System Library folder /Library/colorSync/Profiles at the top level of your system drive?
As you probably know, your User Library is hidden since Mac OS X Lion.
You can reveal it from the Finder's "Go" menu in the main menu bar:
Finder > Go
Then hold down to options-key ⌥, until Library appears in the drop-down menu. Select it and open the Library.

Where is color sync located (not color utility) which is required to download icc profiles? Dolores

Where is color sync located (not color utility)? I am downloading an icc profile from Ilford paper and the instructions say to first download into downloads, then move to Library. This I did. But I cannot find Color Sync to move the profile into. When I did the "search" the list that turned up was not applicable. After that it needs to go to Profiles inorder that Lightroom 4 paper profiles list can receive it and be able to print according to the profile. How will I find Profiles?Thanks, Dolores P.S. I have successfully downloaded profiles before, but this time I am stumped.

Where ICC profiles live on different operating systems
Windows 7, Vista and XP:
\Windows\system32\spool\drivers\color
Win98/Me - Windows/System/Color
WinNT - WinNT/System32/Color
Win2K- WinNT/System32/Spool/Drivers/Color
WinXP - Windows/System32/Spool/Drivers/Color
On a mac, it's Library/ColorSync/Profiles either in the root or user
Epson places their profiles inside a package (a self- contained group of files) found in Main LibraryÆPrintersÆEpsonÆ SP2200.plugin*ÆContentsÆResourcesÆICC Profiles.

Where did my ICC profiles go?!

I have an Epson R1900 and OSX 10.6.1 (32-bit on 1st gen Core Duo MBP 17), latest Epson drivers, latest Adobe Creative Suite CS4 and latest Aperture 2. I often use papers from 3rd parties that supply ICC profiles that I select in the print dialog. The ICC files are in Macintosh HD/Library/ColorSync/Profiles.
Since going to 10.6 I have not always been able to use these. If I print from Photoshop the ICC profiles are all shown where they're supposed to be, but in other software like Aperture and Indesign only one of the profiles is visible, and it's for a Canon printer I don't have anymore. I need to print a portfolio that's in Indesign and my Moab Entrada Bright profile can't be used in anything but Photoshop, and if I want to print photos I have in Aperture on RedRiver Polar Satin I need to use Edit In Photoshop!
Is this a common problem? Anybody have a fix?

Same problem here. Did anyone find this out?

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.

Where can I see ICC Profile used by scanner?

Friends:
How can I see which ICC profile my scanner used when it scans and the scan opens in photoshop CS5?
Note: Edit>Color Settings does not show it.
Thanks
Migs

Yes, actually the little triangle bottom left can show the profile. Oddly enough my scan didnt enter PSCS5 with a profile, even though the triangle shows profiles for the scanner...
Thanks!

Canon color sync profiles location. Where to put them?

Hi as part my canon printer installation, i downloaded some canon icc profiles. The canon site downloaded them to my desktop, not the right location clearly but what is the right location ?.
Thanks
Tony

Try /Library/ColorSync/Profiles or ~/Library/ColorSync/Profiles.

Where do I find the ICC profile for my new Canon Pro-100 printer?

I downloaded ICC profiles for several different papers, but for optimum color management, do I not also need a ICC profile for the printer itself? Very new to this......I have my ColorMunki and I use Photoshop and Lightroom. Trying to get everything coordinated properly...........
Thanks for the help,
Laura Mowrey

If you downloaded ICC profiles for papers they should be for the Pro-100. The paper vendor prints a known pattern of colors using a Pro-100 and then uses a device to analyze the print. The ICC profile contains the correction info that adjusts the printer to make the prints look like the known color pattern.
The Color Munki will calibrate your monitor to make sure that the colors you see are correct.
I suggest you calibrate the monitor to,D50 at 80-90 lumens/m^2.

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 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,
Kevin

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.

Icc profiles for aperture book printing...

Do the Aperture Book Printing folks provide icc profiles so I can soft-proof the images beforehand?

Please note that monitors provide fairly accurate color when the images are saved in an sRGB color space, however, presses are not as reliable...
Well, Mike, thanks for sharing the info here.
At one point, in Mark's email to you, as mentioned above in his email from Apple, I have to say I am a little surprised about his statement re: monitors provide fairly accurate... when the images saved in an sRGB colour space...
It is very tricky statement where it depends on how we define the term "fairly accurate" in monitors. What we don't know if Mark meant by when monitor has been "properly" set up as profiled and calibrated with high-grade calibration hardware. Unless IF the monitor has been proper profiled and calibrated, then his statement would be correct. But IF not profiled or calibrated at all, I am afraid that his statement is incorrect.
Now these days with newer monitors and newer Apple laptops with better monitor technology, it is still need to be properly profiled and calibrated. It just depends on individual's preference, desire and the purpose of such project whatever someone is working on. While majority of Aperture users' are probably mostly professional photographers or those who are into photography savvy, then colour-managed workflow is a norm. For me, it IS absolute A MUST colour-managed workflow.
Although, I do a heavy post-production workflow on MacPro where I always have my monitors calibrated. I don't typically calibrate my laptop, though. Because sometimes I forgot to turn off the automatic ambient light in System Preference in Display section. It is a little inconvenience in that case. Unless if I am being away on photographic trips far from Canada abroad, then it is a different story. But not always bring my calibration device with me. Too inconvenience to haul it around at the airports etc. So colour-managed workflow is a must with MacPro in my studio.
However, other individuals have their own preference, comfort zone and the purpose of such project. Perhaps their workflow set up differently than yours or mine, that is ok.
But in that email you received from someone at Apple didn't make it clear about that statement about 'fairly accuracy'.
Then something else is something else actually--when Apple guy said presses are not always.... Again, that is why it is important that you get monitor properly profiled and calibrated. Once it is done properly, then it is all good. But remember, you need to re-calibrate monitor once a week or every two weeks or once month. In order to get pretty close to printed output, always a good idea to soft proof. If needed to make slightly conservative adjustments to your satisfaction or level of expectation, the output would be fairly close to what it is appeared in monitor. When I mean "fairly close" in comparing the output to what you are seeing in monitor with these post-production images used in that output, in fairness, I would estimate fairly close in terms of anywhere in range between 92 to 95 percent - that is very fair conservative perspective on how close in the output vs monitor. It is truly, really, truly rare to get the output 100% as obvious and precise as you are seeing in monitor. If that is the case, and if that is true FOR that person achieved this, this probably means takes that person many years to perfect his/her colour-managed workflow for that matter. Never has been that pretty close, but I'd be shocked if I see mine aced right on spot. I'd be lying to you if I get all output perfect as appeared in my monitors. If I did, that would be incorrect statement.
It seems a lot of factors and things to do and things need to require in a thoroughly colour-managed workflow production, it is how it is done. But this can also means save money, effort and time if done properly right from the beginning.
In fairness, I would really wish that guy from Apple should have said a little more obvious and precise with his definition of fairly accuracy with monitors. It doesn't says what kind of monitors he refers to. Low quality, cheap monitors deliver good results? Lot of factors need to be looked at for consideration for yourself.
Of course, as you can tell that colour management topic is pretty heavy, highly technical and everything in deep thinking with world of colours. It takes years for an individual (both pros and non-pro individuals) finally understand what it is all about. Again, technologies evolve rapid for the better in many cases for new monitors, commercial print equips, advanced ink technology, advanced paper production technology... That goes on effortless endless, actually.
Hope some of thoughtfu perspective and experience be of some interest, and it is obvious that this discussion probably will attract some more excitement discussion, the more the better. So that every other Aperture users who have the similar issues, they'll definitely want to come to here... And learn and share.
I also use Blurb too. They are getting better than it was once a couple years ago when Blurb first started. As they add more variety of book sizes, types of paper stock and things like that. This also give someone some flexibility in choosing workflow production using Blurb software or online bookmaking or using PDF to Book service for those who are advanced users that use InDesign layout design app. In that case of PDF to Book, the advanced users would need to download Blurb's preset plug-in to put in InDesign in order to export the PDF output to meet and integrate into Blurb's Preflight Checklist at the time of upload. I use PDF to Book service with InDesign, etc. It is fairly self explanatory and easy to follow steps. Also slightly off topic, but when making Blurb book, to get most out of their product and service with Blurb, in that case, they came up with brilliant resource called Colour Resource Centre designed for making more beautiful books. In that resource centre, it is easy to read and follow.
I would think this probably shed some insights and understanding the basics of colour management, the whole thing all about this, that and the other all together.
I would also want other high-powered hard-core Aperture users share their experience with Aperture Book printing service. I'd be happy to share my experience about making Aperture Book vs. Blurb Book through PDF to Book service. However, I would think the export to PDF from Aperture probably has it's own different setting or slightly different configuration inside the PDF engine on Mac for Blurb book. There has been some discussion about wanting a Aperture Plug In for Blurb Book. blurb has been quiet on it, I take that they probably will not develop a special plug-in for Aperture Users. Sorry if it is a little off topic. But somehow someone in the discussion mention Blurb. so...
Anyhow, hope that helps.

Icc profile locations inconsistent and confusing

I apologize in advance for this long winded post, but I really would like some help, if anyone is willing to indulge me. Ive done some searching on the forum, and got some info, but I feel Im still missing something.
My issue is with printer/paper profiles, and which to use to optimize print/monitor matching. A bit of background. I have not bothered until this morning to set up my Epson 2200 printer on my Mac Pro computer. Today, I finally did so. Im running an 8 core Mac Pro, 4 GB memory, and Lightroom Rev 1.1. I downloaded the latest Intel Mac printer driver from the Epson site, and installed the driver. In addition, I downloaded the paper profile for Epson Premium Luster paper for the Mac from the Epson site (I was surprised to note that the download was not just .icc profiles, but instead, a program that installed the profiles (though the program did not say where the profiles were going, or what the profiles were called).
Next, I followed the directions for printing in Lightroom that Scott Kelby included in Chapter 8, pages 272-277 and 290-295 of his The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Book. I was able to find 3 profiles for Premium Luster Paper when I followed step 4 on page 291 of the book, when I used the other option for Profile under the Color Management pane. The profiles were called, exactly, SP2200 Prem.Luster 1440.icc, SP2200 Prem.Luster 2880.icc, and SP2200 Premium Luster PK, and I was able to select all 3 of them by clicking the checkboxes in front of the profiles and now they show up as selections for printing. Thus far, I have experimented with the 1440 and PK profiles, and printed images using both perceptual and relative rendering intents, and Ive found, to my poor eyes at least, using the PK profile, with perceptual rendering intent, yields the best printer/monitor match (yes, my Eizo ColorEdge CE240W monitor has been recently calibrated using Monaco Optix, in case you were wondering), not great, but marginally acceptable. So far, so good. Now, here are my issues:
I am trying to understand where the 3 profiles came from, since Im now paranoid about losing them, since I think Im headed in the right direction, at least. When I do a Spotlight search on my Mac, I have been able to find the SP2200 Prem.Luster 1440.icc and SP2200 Prem.Luster 2880.icc profiles under the Macintosh HD 1/Library/Colorsync/Profiles directory. However, the PK profile is not found by Spotlight. Instead, I seem to have located the PK profile by using the Colorsync utility, doing a repair profile, and then looking at profiles. The PK profile appears to reside under the directory Macintosh HD 1/Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter/ICCProfiles/, however, it doesnt exist as a separate .icc profile, instead, it appears to reside inside a file called SP2200.profiles, which does not seem to be openable.
So here are the questions:
1. Which of these profiles were put into place when I installed the printer driver, and which were created when I downloaded and ran the paper profile for Epson Premium Luster paper program?
2. Is there a way for me to extract the SP2200 Premium Luster PK from that SP2200.profiles file and put it in the same location as the other 2 .icc files, or should I not care? Im particularly afraid of losing this profile, since its the one that is working best for me at the moment.
Thanks for any thoughts on this.

Ans to Q1 - Macintosh HD 1/Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter/ICCProfiles/ contains installed with driver and Macintosh HD 1/Library/Colorsync/Profiles were installed by the download.
Ans to Q2 - Epson put them inside the "package" to keep them safe. You can access the package contents via the Ctrl+click or right+click context menu item labelled "Show package contents" (see attached screenshot), but I would
strongly urge you not to remove them from the package. You really don't need to care where they are because they're in the safest place. It's when folk try to get smart that the system bites them.

HELP! Newly calibrated monitor loses ICC profile setting while computer is on, in middle of editing!

I'm so frustrated!!! Just a few days ago I calibrated my monitor with my new Huey Pro. Today in the middle of the computer being on for hours, at some point, without my knowing it, the ICC profile shifted from the new, calibrated setting BACK to the old default profile!! I didn't realize it and went about editing ... messed up so many files!
I'm using Windows Vista x64 and I've read about this happening to other Vista users, but does anyone know how I can FIX this?? I'm totally overwhelmed at this point. Thanks for you help.

Epson ICC profile location

i just downloaded an epson ICC profile for the epson 2200.
I do not know where to put it
i have a Macbook Pro 17"
i put it in the colorsync folder in my library but do not see it on the pull down menu for the printer
thank you! diana

I am printing a photo in Photoshop elements. the first dialog has an option at the bottom and there lies the ICC profiles although the next screen that has the drop down menus for colorsync, paper handling etc does not have all the ICC profiles. i am not sure which one I should use.
in addition my photo on preview is in purple and printed in Purple instead of blue (sky).
I have an epson 2200
I am sure there are some settings that I need to change.
thank you
diana
