Installing ICC profile

Hi All,
I am trying to convert an image to a standard ICC profile that I generate using GretagMacbeth Profilemaker. The problem is that the profile does not show up under the "image>mode>convert to profile" in Photoshop CS. What is strange is that the profile is available under the "image>mode>assign profile" option.
I have placed the profile at "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\SPOOL\DRIVERS\COLOR" and have installed the profile.
Thanks,
Prateek

Prateek,
IMO one cannot use Raw camera data as input for
ProfileMaker.
An accurate description of the calibration workflow
would be helpful.
In my workflow (as mentioned above) I had tested
three versions:
1. Save Raw as sRGB
2. Save Raw as AdobeRGB(98)
3. Save Raw as ProPhotoRGB
Each of these files can be used as input for Profile-
Maker. AdobeRGB is sufficient, in my humble opinion.
Using all versions, one gets three files and three
profiles P-sRGB, P-aRGB, P-pRGB.
For actual images (after the calibration) one has to use
one of these Raw --> RGB conversions.
The respective profile is either already embedded, or
it has to be assigned in PhS, followed by Save As with
profile.
A possible workflow is described in my doc. There may be
alternatives.
Best regards --Gernot Hoffmann

  • How do I install icc profiles? I keep getting message that folder can't be modified.

    How do I install ICC profiles on Lion? I keep getting an error message that the folder can't be modified. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    If the profiles need to be accessed by all user accounts on that Mac, follow Martin's instructions for getting the main Library folder to appear. In order to place items into the folder, you need the admin name and password before the OS will allow you to add (or remove) any items. It's either that, or you have to copy the same profiles into every individual user account.
    If the only user of the Mac is you, then the Profiles folder in your user account will work just as well.

  • 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

  • How to install ICC profiles in Lightroom

    This is probably an easy question, but I didn't see an obvious reply in Google.  I use ICC profiles when I print from Photoshop, but they don't appear in Lightroom.  Is there an easy way to install all my profiles into lightroom?

    Jim,
    Thanks!   I was scratching my head there for a moment, because that's how I install profiles in Photoshop. I couldn't figure out why they weren't showing up in Lightroom. It finally dawned on me that I had had to nuke and re-install Lightroom due to a persistent corrupt file. Apparently the profiles went away with the previous installation.  Thanks for your help!

  • 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.

  • Cs5 does not read installed ICC profile

    I uploaded an  icc profiles for an inkpress paper- Duomatte 80 to print with Epson 4900 printer.
    The icc file is visible in  c:windows/system32/spool/drivers/color but when I open the image file in Photoshop, to print with “ Photoshop to manage color” ;  the  ICC profile : IP MATTE DUO 80-EPS 4900-7900-900 is not available to use. See screen shots attached:
    I have windows 7 operating system, on a dell workstation T3500; 64 bit operating system and am using Photoshop CS5 system 12- 32bit.
    Does anyone know what the problem is? And yes I restarted Photoshop and my computer several times after downloading the icc profile.

    Perhaps it has several internal names have you look at what the windows control panel color magager shows. From your screen captures I see
    IP MATTE DUO 80-ESP 4900-700-900 in your file list but not in the printer ICC list  and
    IP MATTE 60-ESP 7900, 9900.icc in your Printer icc list but not in you file list

  • Lightroom 4 soft proofing doesn't show installed ICC profiles

    If I go to printing options there are many paper profiles I can choose. However in the Other menu of the soft proofing tool, there is no profile except the visualization ones.
    I have an HP officejet 8500 pro printer and windows 7 64 bit.

    Disregard my second message about not understanding your email reply.
    I thought I had to hit "H" to see a link -on the email- to confirm my registration.
    I didn't realize it was your answer.
    Since I had just installed my 3.4.1 update and the default on my installed version of LR, and since my 'pins' have never been hidden, the 3.4.1 default of hiding the pins was a problem and is likely to fool a lot of users that hadn't read about hiding those pins yet.  Shouldn't the installation of -any- new version, pick up the defaults currently in LR?  That is an issue.
    We're good now.
    Thanks for the response.

  • 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.

  • 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. 

  • 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.

  • ICC Profiles for papers and not for HP printers.

    Hello, I apologize if this has been asked a billion times before, but I have been trying to find the ICC profiles to install for a different printer. 
    I am not using a HP printer, but a Canon iP6000D.  Let me explain, I'm a student and my class required me to buy different papers that were not for my original printer and I have to install ICC profiles for the papers I chose. My problem is I cannot find the ICC profiles for the paper I bought on the HP site, it's very unweildy and hard to find here. I had no problem finding my moab printer paper ICC profiles...  HP seems to enjoy hiding their profiles.
    So where would I find the iCC profiles for the Hp premium plus Photo paper that is Soft gloss 8.5x11" 200gm 80lb? I've looked all over and it seems to be impossible to find.

  • 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.

  • Monitor profiling & ICC profile management in VMware virtual machines?

    Greetings,
    I'm successfully running Photoshop CC in Windows 7 on bare metal PCs.  To support that, I profile/calibrate my monitors with Datacolor Spyder4Elite and print with Qimage.  Photoshop, Spyder4, and Qimage all create and/or install ICC profiles.  Does any/all of that function correctly within virtual machines hosted by VMware Workstation (v9.0.2, specifically)?  Datacolor's Spyder4Elite, for example, relies upon periodic reloading of the LUT (Look-Up Table) of the graphics adapter.  The other apps I mention ask Windows to use ICC profiles.  Can I successfully move all of these workflow elements into virtual machines?
    Thanks in advance for your assistance.

    No, actually the System Default stayed the same, but the ACER profile showed up in the Devices panel.  However, [ ] Use My Settings was NOT checked, implying they found some way to install the profile that's outside the normal configuration settings somewhere between the Advanced and Devices level configuration.
    The fix is to check the [ ] Use My Settings box, add the profile one wants to use in the Devices panel, and [Set as Default Profile].  This overrides the setting above.

  • Help with ICC Profiles

    I have downloaded and installed ICC profiles (in Library/ColorSync/Profiles) for several Hahnemuller papers. The ICC profile appears in the Aperture Print dialogue box under ColorSync Profile. But when I hit print and the Epson 2400 dialog box comes up I can't choose it under Presets or Media Type.
    How do I get these profiles to appear in the print dialog box?
    Thanks, Susan

    the Hahnemuehle paper that you purchased should have a recommended setting for the media type. for instance, for the Photo Rag papers you want to set the media type to Epson Velvet Fine art. other papers (like the fine art pearl) use other media types. also, make sure you have the proper type of black in installed in the printer (matte black vs. photo black) for your paper type.
    all of this information is detailed at the Hahnemuehle web site:

  • 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.
