LR4.3 Custom Color Profiles

I just updated to LR 4.3 from 4.2 and my custom color profiles are not being recognized. Is there a new folder or bread crumb trail I need to be following? I am running on OSX.

Ah, ok, camera profiles. They should go to Macintosh HD / Users / [your username] / Library / Application Support / Adobe / CameraRaw / CameraProfiles /

How do I get a custom color profile into a PDF?

I have a client who provided a custom color profile for a CMYK file.
I worked on Photoshop CS5.1 images and made sure the profile is embedded.
I placed these Photoshop images into an Illustrator CS5.1 template and made sure the profile is embedded.
I need to create a hires PDF with the Press Quality settings from the Illustrator file.
I have been doing a Save As to PDF from Illustrator, which seems to work.
OK, that's when my troubles start.... When I go into Acrobat Pro X v10.0.0 nothing indicates my profile is there.
I even have the profile loaded into Acrobat.
The client seems to want the Paper Simulation to show their profile, but the profile does not even come up in the list when I look for it. It seems to default to RGB even though this is a CMYK file.
I messed this up once already, and I need to get it right this time.
The client is in Germany and they sound very angry when they don't get the proper files.
Help!

Problem using custom color profiles in Camera Raw

Dear Adobe Community,
I've created a custom color profile using the DNG profile editor, and I've been able to open that custom .dcp file in Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) through Adobe Bridge. However, when I apply the color profile to the same image, I do not get the same results as I get with the profile editor. When I open the "corrected" RAW file in Adobe Photoshop, the colors are the same wrong colors that I have in Bridge, am I missing something here?

Yes, you're missing something.
Camera profiles are meant to account for different spectral distribution in different light sources, which is something else than different color temperatures. You still have to make all the normal adjustments, like white balancing, to get the image right.

Custom Color Profiles

With the wonderful creation of X-Rite's Color Checker Passport and their software integration with Lightroom, I find myself creating profiles for lots of different lighting scenarios. I would really like the ability to delineate between a "global" color profile such as the Adobe Standard or "built-in" ones that come with Lightroom, and a "local" profile. "Local" profiles would have all of the same metadata as the global ones, but would reside or be associated with a particular folder (which I associate with a client *job*).
When viewing that particular LR folder or *Job*, the local profiles associated with that folder would be shown in the custom color profile drop-down combo box. This would keep the color profile drop-down box from being polluted by many color profiles that get created (in my case) daily.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE add this ability!

Hey WIll,
Yeah, that's a pretty great idea.

Using custom color profiles....leica m8 on import

Is it possible to use or assign a custom color profile like I would in capture 1? Thanks

+If these aren't in /Library sub folders they could be in /Users/yourname/Library sub folder (depends if they were installed for a single user or all users)+
SHAZAM!! You solved it for me. When you told me to check the directories before, I was already in Users/yourname/etc. I didn't realize there was another Library at the System level. The profiles were there, glaring at me like they'd been there the whole time. Imagine that.
All the subfolders you mentioned were in there respective places too.
But that brings up another question... One always leads to another, right?
Why do I have three 'Library' folders that all have Colorsync folders with different profiles in them???
I've got one at StartUpDrive/Library/subfolders
another at StartUpDrive/System/Library/subfolders
and a third at StartUpDrive/username/Library, though this one hasn't been modified since 2004. Can I delete it?
Thanks a ton

Can't delete custom color profile

I created a custom color profile and now it won't let me delete it, the delete option is grayed out. I have looked in the colorsync profile folder and it isn't there either. Does anyone know how to delete it?
Message was edited by: Chad3405

Chad,
Open your Color Sync Utility, and find the profile in question. Once highlighted, it will show the path for that profile under "Profile Information:". Follow that path, and you can delete it from there, though it will probably ask for an administrator password. That should be it.
Hope this helps,
Jeff

Where does Photoshop CS5 pull custom color profiles from?

Photoshop CS5 is not seeing my new custom color profiles for my scanner when i try to "Assign profile" or "Convert profile". it sees my old profiles that I used in CS4. i have made sure to copy the profiles the following directories:
/System/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/
/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/
myuseraccount/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/
where else does CS5 pull color profiles from? By the way, those old color profiles DO NOT exist in the above directories. your help is greatly appreciated.
I am running Photoshop CS5 12.0.1 x32 on mac os x 10.6.4.

…do you know of anyway to reconcile these names because Apple does not.
In all honesty, I've never had occasion to think about any such "reconciliation". I've never re-named a profile's file name in the Finder, and in the few cases where I've run into a discrepancy there, I just make it a point to remember the internal name and forget about the other one.

Custom color profiles not showing as available in InDesign CC

This is a college graphic design lab environment with iMacs running 10.9.4 and the CC versions of Adobe programs
We have a variety of custom color profiles for our specific printers and media. They're located in a special folder and an alias of that folder is located in /Library/Colorsync/profiles. The profiles in that folder do not show up as available for selection in InDesign CC. They did before the upgrade to the CC version. They do show up in Photoshop CC, Lightroom 5 and Illustrator CC. Is this a known InDesign flaw? Any ideas for a fix... preferably one that doesn't involve moving the profiles?
Thanks

I had the same issue when playing with my Xerox Phaser 6110 profiled with colormunki. All software except Aperture (3.0.3) recognized the profile (Color Sync, Print dialog, Preview soft-proffing, even LR 3b2). I too tried all possible locations and none worked.
Then I opened the profile in ColorSync, and edited (Profiles -> Xerox... -> Open ->'desc' tag) Ascii and unicode descriptions to read aaa.icc and did a Save As aaa.icc and there it was, available in Aperture, too.
To my great disappointment the soft-proof feature in Aperture seems to be broken for some monitor/printer profile combinations, and is compatibly broken for printing from Aperture. What happens is the resulting image is way too degraded, even beyond the (admittedly crappy) photo printing capabilities of this printer.
IOW printing the same JPG via Preview and/or soft-proofing with the printer's profile yields way more consistent results. Totally unacceptable for a €200 piece of software.

Discard custom color profiles?

What happens to a dng file's appearance if you delete the custom color profile it was using?

Why is that?
You can't remove profile, but you can change it to whatever you want in the same way as described.
By the way, all DNG files created by Adobe software DO contain embedded profile in any case.
Well, if you really want to, you can delete embedded profile using exiftool

How to create custom color profile in OSX?

I started thinking about this after downloading the program "f.lux", which changes the color temperature of your screen depending on the time of day. It seems the program accomplishes this by adjusting your display calibration. Some controls for this already exist (you can tinker with them in preferences>display>color) but they can't be calibrated beyond minor changes to gamma and color tempterature. In f.lux they have a "darkroom mode", which is this amazing red-on-black high-contrast effect perfectly suited for use in a darkroom. I feel like a high-contrast monochrome display could come in handy, but I want more control over the brightness and color than what this app offers. I don't see anything like that in the usual preferences, but I do see a host of various color profiles (apple rgb, adobe rgb, PAL, Pantone, and whatever else...). How do I create a completely custom profile, or edit one that exists? Where are these files stored on my computer? Are there workarounds, or any third-party apps for changing my display settings?
All help is greatly appreciated.

PE7 Vista: Cannot see custom color profiles?

The custom profiles I have installed do not appear in the profile selection drop down menu.
I have checked the c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\color directory and the profiles are located there.
I have used these profiles to print on XP using Photoshop CS3 (so I don't think the profiles are corrupted in any way).
The Color Management dialog in the Control Panel can see the profiles and allows me to associate them with my printer (Canon SELPHY 760).
I also have a custom scanner profile that cannot be seen.
I have set the PE7 color management settings to "allow me to choose". (although this only seems to modify the work space profile, it does not seem printer related, but just in case).
Thank you for any help!

You may have encountered a buglet in PSE 7 in which the Print window is perfectly positioned to obscure the scroll bar for the list of profiles. Try moving the Print window to the left a little:

Are my custom color profiles invisible?

Two questions:
1. I have .icc profiles that I'd like to access through the finder for management purposes (toss some). If I open ColorSync I can find the profiles and see the string to said profiles, but when I navigate the string through the Finder, my profiles aren't there. Why are they invisible and can I/how do I reveal them?
Secondly and more importantly, I want to make sure my epson pro3800 is printing with the custom profile I made. I can choose it in Photoshop from a looong list (no problem) but when I'm trying to print from another app, I can't be sure it's using that driver. Again, I went to colorsync, selected 'Devices' and chose the profile that had the blue dot next to it (indicating that it was the active profile). The custom profile I wanted was not listed, but I was able to choose 'Other' and navigate to it. (my custom profiles show up in Colorsync). Great! I thought. But when I chose my custom profile, it remained hidden in the device's (pro 3800) profile list. The blue dot does not show up next to any profile now, but I assume it is being used... I can tell by clicking on the old profile and looking at the string.
So how do I get my custom profiles to show up under my pro3800's list of usable icc's??? And how do I find/manage them from the desktop (Finder)?

Color profile reset after screensaver

Running Leopard 10.5.1. Dual screen setup with my external monitor having configured as a custom color profile to compensate for a little bit of gamma. Strange thing that always when the screen saver comes on, and I move the mouse so that the screen comes back, the colors look blueish. When activating the screen options and moving to the color profile tab, the screen reverts to the correct settings again. I have to do this every time the screen comes out of the screensaver.

I run Parallels on an external HP monitor and OS X on the MBP screen. It's intermittent for me but sometimes I get a weird blue tint on the MBP screen coming out of screensaver. Opening screen prefs knocks it back to normal.
I tried this:

It seemed to work. It's been a few weeks since the last 'blue shift'.

Color profiles on LCD

I've been trying to set a custom color profile for my macbook pro LCD display from Adorama. I downloaded the icc and it shows up in color sync utility but I can't get it to select on the system preferences>displays selection screen. Does anyone know how I can select it to run on the display. THanks

If you are just needing a more pleasant viewing experience, try manually calibrating:
Open System Preferences > Displays > Color > "Calibrate..."
Then place a check on "Expert Mode". Follow through the assistant.
When prompted about "Select target gama", I recommend 2.2.
On the page "Select a target white point", uncheck "Use native white point", and move the slider until you are happy. 5000 will produce a very yellow hue, while 9000 will produce a very blue hue. Find a happy median.
Continue and finish the assistant.
Hope this helps.

Why are printer managed color prints different from Photoshop managed color prints using the same color profile?.

I'm using Photoshop 13.0.1, Windows 7, to print images using custom color profiles made with an XRite colorimeter. However, when I print the image using Printer Manages Color, it is not the same as Photoshop Manages the colors and selecting the Canon ICC profile that (Canon 7200 MP2) that is the same as the printer managed settings. Why are these prints not the same if the same color profile is being accessed??

Hi WA Veghe,
>First: DO synchronize, makes sure you have the same profile settings and color mange settings.
I don't seem to be able to synchronize between CS4 (Photoshop) and CS3 (Indesign).
It seems I have to do without synchronizing..
>I do not seem to find HOW you are diplaying images on you screen: with Soft proofing?
What happens if you soft proof in Photoshop and InDesign on screen: View > Proof colors. Do you proof with the same profiles, both simulate paper and black on?
I can simulate Proof Colors (working CMYK), but not simulate Paper, both in Indesign and Photoshop.
Problem is: SAME settings in Photoshop and Indesign BUT the image displayed in Photoshop is brighter and more saturated.
So which image should I correct after?
thanks for all help
