InDesign ICC profile file location

In InDesign when exporting a PDF, there are different icc color profile files to choose from under the "output" section.
Most of the files are located in
user/library/application support/adobe/color/profiles
But I have one file that I would like to copy to another computer, and I can´t find the darn thing.
Searching the whole mac does not give any results either.
Is there a second location for icc-profile files?
Anyone?

Hey and thanks for your reply.
Yes, I have installed the driver package with no luck of finding the file on my new computer.
Im not entirely sure if the driver package I installed are the same as on my work computer. But I got the newest from Richo representatives, so its current at least.
I am suspecting the file Im looking for came along with an online update via the App Store. I remember updating Richo something something :/.
Although the drivers are installed on my new computer, I cant fin the file, and I get no update request in App Store. Maybe my new computer has to be connected to the printer?
I dont know.
Strange thing. I cant remember the last time I could not locate a file on my own computer.
Search reveals nothing. Invisible file search does not either.

Camera Profile file locations?? CS4 64 bit

I have installed new Camera Profiles, beta 1 and beta 2
Now I need the file location to delete the beta 1 versions
Any help will be appreciated

Well, since the people who
created the profiles are active in that forum, I thought they might know where they put them!

Indesign CS6 preference file location

I am having trouble finding the InDesign CS6 preference file on my Mac. I don't have a library folder under my username but there is one for guest and macadmin. Is it hidden? How do I view this folder?
Macintosh: Hard Drive/Users/<USER>/Library/Preferences/Adobe InDesign/<Version #>/<Language>/

Thank you. I was able to delete the file however it has not fixed my issues with indesign.
I can open InDesign on the guest account and everything loads fine. If I try to open it on my account I get the error "cannot open resource file" and my full preferences aren't loading. I am trying to get to InDesign>Preferences>Type and my full preferences are showing.

PowerShell Script to Clean User Profiles File Location

Hello,
I have been searching around to accomplish what I am trying to do. It is pretty basic so I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I want to write a powershell script to clean out two locations in all the user profiles on a Citrix server.
Here are the steps I'd like to accomplish.
1. Find all user profiles on the Citrix server
2. Delete all the files from these two locations; "\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\*.*" and "\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\OneNote\*.*"
This will run on a weekly basis via a scheduled task. A nice to have would be to add any profile over 60 days old.
I have a pretty good start, but I am still learning PowerShell, so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Thanks, Jeremy

Hello mbwc,
how about showing us what you got so far and detail where you have trouble?
That way, we can help you understand your problems and find the solution yourself (= good for learning), instead of having one of us simply provide the solution (= bad for learning).

Where exactly are InDesign icc print profiles?

Hi,
I'm in the process of calibrating a color printer we have down in our Copy Center. It's just a Xerox. I'm confused about where to put any resulting .icc profile files, though. When I look at all that are available in InDesign when creating a PDF Preset, I can't actually find the files themselves that are listed anywhere on my Mac. For example, I can't find the profile "US Newsprint (SNAP 2007)" or "Euroscale Coated v2" anywhere on my Mac. My calibration software stores the profiles in \users\me\library\colorsync\profiles, and, some, but not all, show up in Indesign.
Thanks,
Peter

I don't know abpout the Mac, but on Windows color profiles are stored at he system level (equivalent to your colorsync folder) and also in the CommonFiles\Adobe\Color\Profiles folder and there is also a Recommended subfolder in there, which can move them to the top of the list.

Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.1.0 distiller ICC profile error asks for reinstall

I have Windows XP professional, SP3.
My Systems Administrator recently upgraded my Adobe Acrobat Pro 8 to 9.1.0 and since then I keep getting an error that says: Distiller cannot find its standard ICC profiles. Please reinstall Adobe Acrobat to correct this problem.
This error happens when:
1. I print to Adobe from a web page (IE 7.0.5730.11 or Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.20)
2. I try to print to any printer from certain websites, such as the usps.com, where I print all our postage labels from.
3. Occasionally when I start up the PC.
Sometimes I get the error but it still pdfs the page. Usually, though, it hangs and then Acrobat and the web browser close.
I seem to be able to pdf MS Office 2007 items (Word, Excel) and my Filemaker Pro Advanced 10 records. I guess it's when I'm "printing" to Adobe as opposed to "saving as pdf" that I have this problem.
Acrobat 8 worked fine. My Sys Admin has reinstalled the upgrade twice (after trying a repair which didn't work) to no avail. He can't find any documentation about this error at Adobe, so he's going to uninstall it and switch me back to Adobe 8.
I do all of the pdf'ing of our deliverable documents at my company and I would like to have the latest edition of Acrobat. If anyone knows of anything I can do, please let me know.
Thanks!
Stephie

Adobe Tech support was most helpful on this. First download the updated
Distiller ICC profile files at:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=4075&fileID= 3790
Unzip the file and copy only the *.icc files (without regard to the subfolders that they are in - in other words, take the files out of each of the subfolders) to the followng folder in Windows 7:
c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\color
These new files will probably overwrite some old ones.
This solved the problem for me.
This is actually the best solution though I found that instead of copying all the .icc files to the windows\sys... folder, all you need to do is copy the 3 Video files from the RGB folder (VideoHD.icc, VideoNTSC.icc, and VideoPAL.icc). Once you add these three files to c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\color you will be good to go.
It seems that this was an error on the part of Adobe in that there is no reason to include Video files for printing. Nevertheless, the distiller will look for these and return the ICC profile error message if those files are not present.

Distiller ICC Profile (Acrobate 9 Pro)

Hi all--
I've been getting an error from Acrobat Distiller (Acrobate distiller cannot find it's standard ICC profiles. Please reinstall Acrobate to Correct this issue.)
So... I uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Acrobate Pro and rebooted. The error no longer showed. Then I did the first update which appeared to be an update to the updater. The error did not return..
I then did my second series of updates that took me back to version 9.5.2 and guess what..... the ICC Profiles error returned. Is there a solution to this. How is it that an update can remove or distort the standard ICC Profile.
Any HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED because this error seems to slow down my system and it's getting annoying. Thanks

Icc profiles, OS 10.6 & InDesign CS4

I have been using InDesign (various versions) for years with many icc profiles, some custom, some canned. I recently bought a MACPro with OS 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and the latest Adobe Creative Suite (CS4 Design Premium). Everything works fine with Photoshop, Illustrator and Acrobat. But with InDesign, I can no longer choose icc profiles for printing on my Epson Stylus Pro 4000. Does anyone have any suggestions that might make InDesign useful again? I reinstalled InDesign CS2 just to see if it could read the profiles using OSX 10.6 but to no avail. I still have my old MAC tower but I would prefer not to return to that.

Thought you might be interested in how Adobe support responded to my inquiry. Because the solution presented here worked, I am hesitant to redo the fix presented by Adobe. But your comments would be interesting.
FROM ADOBE:
We understand that your InDesign is not showing the icc profiles. We
have worked on your Issue and recommend you to follow the steps given
below :-
1. Please Login as Administrator before you start.
2. ReCreating InDesign Preference files.
a. Quit InDesign.
b. Drag the "Version 6.0" folder from Users/[user
name]/Library/Preferences/Adobe InDesign/ to the desktop.
c. Drag the "Version 6.0" folder from Users/[user
name]/Library/Caches/Adobe InDesign/ to the desktop.
d. Restart InDesign.
Anybody try this? Does it work.
Since I did a clean install partition and a clean install of CS4 and had the same behavior of the profiles not showing up, I seriously have my doubts about this. Seems like a canned answers from someone who has no idea what the issue even is.

ICC profiles missing from the menu (InDesign 6.0.4.)

After the update to InDesign 6.0.4 icc profiles saved in Macintosh HD/Library/ColorSync/Profiles does not list in InDesign profiles menus. But they show up in Photoshop CS4. Why?
I've tried to reset the InDesign's preferences folder and fixed file permissions on the harddisk. Nothing helps.
This behaviour did not show up on other macs which also use InDesign 6.0.4.

Thank you very much for answering.
Yes, advanced mode is on.
There are 42 objects in the profiles folder but I don't see any of those. However if I load a color setting that uses one of those, the correct profiles shows up in Working CMYK. (But I can't select it from the profiles menu.)

ICC Profiles Not Available in InDesign CS4

Hello all-
I have a lot of ICC profiles installed on my system (OS X 10.6.2); some are in /Library/ColorSync/Profiles/ and some are in ~/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/.
They are not available in InDesign CS4, even though every other app (including Photoshop, Illustrator and Acrobat) see them just fine.
Is this a know issue/bug with CS4 and Snow Leopard? I don't recall having this issue on my old machine.

A followup to this issue:
This morning I couldn't launch Illustrator CS4, it kept crashing at launch. Scanning through the OS X crashlog I noticed 511 "Iterative Profile" errors:
### com.apple.ColorSync 0x91e1981d iterateProfilesInDirectory + 1020
I went into my /Library/ColorSync/Profiles folder and noticed there was now an alias pointing into Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Profiles/, which already contained an alias back to /Library/ColorSync/Profiles to get around the InDesign issue (as described above, which was working fine to this point). This created an infinite loop...
I did not create this new alias... any idea where it might have come from?
(Adobe needs to fix InDesign so it looks in the correct locations for profiles... the user shouldn't have to resort to manipulating aliases to enable profiles that are otherwise in the correct locations, and why do Adobe apps need their own profiles folder anyway????? As with their private Fonts folder, it does nothing but over-complicate matters...)

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.

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.

When I try to paste an CCI file into a PSD, I get this message- Could not complete the Paste command because the ICC profile is invalid. I need the layer to be an editable smart object! What's the solution? Ron

When I try to paste an CCI file into a PSD, I get this message… Could not complete the Paste command because the ICC profile is invalid.
I need the layer to be an editable smart object! What's the solution?
Ron

I received the file from my client. However, last week I had no trouble pasting the same file into a PSD file, as a smart object.
The color file is a label mechanical, which I place into a PSD file of the product. These are used for print ads and web graphics. The color is very critical and has worked really well for the last 4 years.
I have used the default color settings in Creative Suite and its been working fine. They are in synch and, I have no idea how to re-assign the color profile. I’m a graphic Designer, color correction is not something I would do normally.
