Install additional ICC Profiles

I cannot find how to install ICC profiles other than the provided defaults of ProPhoto, Adobe RGB and Adobe sRGB. Can someone please tell me how to install additional ICC profiles.
Thank you,
Jim Palik

The Camera Calibration profiles (Adobe Standard, Camera Neutral, etc) are camera profiles developed by Adobe through their internal camera-calibration process for each new camera. You can make your own Camera Calibration profiles with the DNG Profile Editor and a X-Rite Color Checker standard color target.
The ICC profiles installed on your system are output profiles developed by mostly others that are not related to your camera. The internal profile LR uses for processing is a variant of the large ProPhotoRGB profile with a different gamma. LR is not like Photoshop where you can change the work space profile if that’s what you mean.

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.

Installing new icc profiles on an Imac using CS6

Can someone help, please, I am using CS6 on an Imac (new to mac) and I need to install some more icc profiles. I have tried unhiding the library/col sync/profiles folder and have installed them but cs6 print setup is still not showing them. I have also tried to drag them in to /library/Application Support/Adobe/ Colour/Profiles/recommended as well but still not showing up. Your assistance will be highly appreciated.

I should have said I am using Epson 3800 printer using mac OS X10.9.5 operating system.

How to Install (copy) ICC Profiles

I have two computers running fully updated versions of Mountain Lion. One has all the desired ICC profiles installed in Library>Printers>Epson>InkjetPrinter and in Photoshop the profiles show up just fine and I can make my selections.
On my other computer, the profiles had been there but disappeared in one upgrade or another. I tried having them installed automatically by deleting and reinstalling the printer drivers via the Print & Scan System Preferences. The driver gets re-installed but no profiles. I tried copying the profiles from the one computer to the exact location on the second computer and still no luck. Profiles of two of my other printers are all present, but not the one I'm trying to get added.
I have restarted many times along the way and even tried replacing the whole Epson folder with no change.
Does anyone have an idea of how I can copy those profiles to where they'll work?
FWIW, these profiles are for an older Epson 2200 which is still supported according to Apple's list. It works fine and does print perfect color through the computer that shows the profiles. Profiles for my Epson 7880 and Canon MX870 show on both computers.

Here is the location where the Epson v2.12 Printer Drivers for OS X (Oct. 4) will install the Stylus Pro 2200 .icc profiles. Everything from Printers inward is owned by root and group admin. The individual .icc files are read/write for root, and read only for everyone else.
I used CharlesSoft dot com Pacifist to discover this information. Downloaded the above Epson Driver dmg from Apple/support/downloads. Then opened it with Pacifist. Looked in Contents of EPSONPrinterDrivers.pkg. It is possible to drag the SP2200_A.profile and SP2200_W.profile bundles from Pacifist into the /Library directory hierarchy. You may have to create /InkjetPrinter2/ICCProfiles folders manually and permit them root:admin first.
Not for the faint of heart. If I was invested in Epson printers as you are, I would simply install the whole v2.12 installation package above. That should build the directory hierarchy for you. (fingers crossed).

Installing paper .icc profiles

I'm new to Mac, and I knew how to do with in Windows, but ... I want to install new icc paper profiles from Ilford for an Epson printer. I downloaded the profile and it sits on my desktop, but I don't know to install it. Unzipping puts it on the desktop but doesn't auto install; double-clicking just opens the profile but doesn't install. The Ilford "read me" file says "+Save the profile into the following location: OSX 10.5 (Leopard): Library/ColorSync/Profile"+ but I don't know what "save...into" means. Thanks for any guidance,
Brian

I don't know what "save...into" means.
I think you just manually drag and drop your profile file into that location. Open up your drive icon and navigate to Library/ColorSync/Profiles and you should see a number of them already there.

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

Costco ICC profiles

Does anybody know how to install Costco ICC profiles in light room three

Sounds like you'd recommend 1) export directly from LR to JPEG using appropriate Costco ICC profile, but then 2) strip out the embedded profile - using some non-LR tool - because it would mess up Costco's printers. Am I understanding correctly?
Almost yeah. For most use I would actually recommend just using sRGB. The difference is not that large, but if you make larger prints for a critical audience, the best thing to do is to use the print panel. Set it up to output to jpeg and a custom size that corresponds to your final print size. Setup your layout (usually simply maximized) and set resolution to 300 ppi and output sharpening to standard matte or glossy depending on your output. Choose the appropriate costco profile as your output profile and select perceptual rendering. The latter is why I use the print panel for this. The export panel cannot do perceptual rendering and the result of perceptual is usually a lot better with the dry creek profiles as relative tends to make out-of-gamut areas appear posterized. Then I run the outputted jpegs through a little PS droplet that resaves without the profile attached. This is mostly just to save upload time. If I forget to do that, I get identical output, just takes longer to upload. Supposedly their poster printers that can do 20x30, do get messed up when you attach profiles, but I have not tested that myself. They do give absolutely superb output when using the dry creek profiles for those. It is hard to beat getting a 20x30 print on a fairly good Fuji paper using HP vivera inks for less than $10.
I knew Costco's printers can't read embedded profiles - but I thought that meant they always assumed your photos were in sRGB colorspace. And therefore your photos should only be exported using sRGB, otherwise they would attempt to convert & screw things up. Is this not the case? I know I've had pretty good results from Costco prints using sRGB exports.
The printers are tuned to approximate sRGΒ but they are not perfect. Costcos offers the dry creek profiles to get more accurate color and dry creek provides instructions here. They tell you to strip the profile:
Do not embed the profile in the saved file. Frontier, Noritsu, and Agfa printers ignore embedded profiles, so you are only using up disk space. Additionally, many versions of the Fuji Frontier PIC driver crash when given files with profiles embedded. In the File→Save As dialog box, uncheck the "Icc Profile:" box in the Color settings area.
In most cases, sRGB will work fine, but if tone and color are critical than certainly use the profiles. Even without soft proofing in Lightroom, you will get slightly better results. The main difference is the toning in the shadow areas in my opinion. They will be more consistent (i.e. less dark) with your display.

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 .

Distiller can not find its sdandard ICC profiles

I have Acrobat X installed on Windows 7 (x64) as part of CS6 Master collection.
Every 4-5 days during simple browsing I get an pop up with error:
Distiller can not find its standard ICC profiles. Please reinstall Adobe Acrobat to correct this problem. And all .pdf files won't open any more till I reinstall Acrobat. Reinstalling it every week is pretty annoying, any idea how to get rid of it?

Hey Tatjana.Esin,
Please install Distiller ICC profiles from the below given link:
Adobe - ICC profiles : For Windows
Unzip this file and copy all .icc files to this location: "C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\color"
These new files would probably overwrite old ones thus resolving the issue.
Please check and let me know.

Anubha

Access priviliges problem when installing ICC profile

Hi
I have a Mac Pro and recently I did a clean install of Lion. The previous OS was 10.6.8.
What I did was I formatted the hard disk where the 10.6.8. was and installed Lion. I also have three other hard disks on my Mac Pro: A mirrored RAID set of 2x750GB drives and a third 750GB drive.
When I did to install a Epson paper ICC profile today, I failed and got the answer "You do not have enough access privileges for this installation."
Furthermore on my Mackintosh HD sharing & permissions it says "You can only read." System user has read & write permissions, a mysterious "wheel" has read only permissions as have the user "everyone" No admin at all mentioned. The other two disks are identical with the exception of this mysterious "wheel" user.
I compared sharing & permissions with my MacBook Pro with 10.6.8. and which works normally. MacBook Pro´s Mackintosh read & write permissions are:
system: read & write
admin: read & write
everyone: read only
I normally made me an account with password when installing the Lion to my Mac Pro. When I cehck users & gropus of the Mac Pro, I am the admin and the only visible other user is guest user.
I would very much appreciate help. This is my first real problem with Macs and I´m getting clueless.

Thanks so much for you quick reply Ralph.
Is there possibly a thread here where this procedure has been alreay explained? Could you link it to me please? I just dont know how to use the sudo command. Additionally, does the admin password you mention mean the password I made up when installing Lion or some other, superuser password?
Thanks for your time and effort.

ICC Profiles: How do I install?

Prior to Yosemite I had no difficulties installing ICC profiles, i.e., after downloading the print paper manufacturer's ICC profile, I would drag and drop it into the ColorSync profiles folder accessed through Library>ColorSync>Profiles. But now? There's no such thing, apparently and no instructional reference that I can find anywhere on the entire WWW.
How do I do it now? I've already spent at least two hours trying to find a way on my own after opening the ColorSync Utility in 10.10.2. I find no provision for importing or otherwise placing a new icc in ColorSync; the closest I've come is to open ColorSync: Profiles>Other>Library/Printers>EPSON/InkjetPrinters, where I'm presented with all the icc profiles that came with the Epson printer driver... but it won't accept a new icc profile by drag-and-drop or any other way I can see. As for "Library", it doesn't seem to exist anymore, other than a "library" located somewhere after finding it with the "find" function; it contains a few folders of unrelated obscure files.
I am extremely frustrated and irritated.

Yes, the library is hidden, but easy to get to. The problem seems to be that Yosemite is preventing Photoshop from seeing the profile that has been added to the folder. Here is a picture showing that the new profile has indeed been added.

I can't print a photo because the ICC profile is not installed. What do I do?

I can't print a photo because the ICC profile is not installed. What do I do?

Try from the Editor "Save As"
Then choose jpeg with sRGB profile.
