Managing ICC profiles in Photoshop

I mistakenly added the wrong profiles to Photoshop CS2 (I downloaded both the MAC and PC versions of the ICC profiles I needed for my Epson 2200 on my MAC). Now, when I go to choose a profile, there are a number of different ones and I can't tell which are the incorrect ones.
Is there any tool to manage ICC profiles so I can remove the wrong profiles? Maybe a list of the names and what they are? The names are very similar.
Thanks.

See if this helps:

Color Laserjet CP3525 Color Management ICC Profile?

Hi ... Is there a color management ICC profile for the Color Laserjet CP3525?
I see references here and there on the web but can't seem to locate it.
I have installed the Postscript Driver for this printer but nothing is coming up
in the profiles in Photoshop. Thanks for any help on this!

You can download the ICC profiles for your printer here: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodSeriesId=3690646&obj...

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.

How to get the list of icc profile,which Photoshop loaded?

I am developing a automation plugin,but I do not know how to get the list of icc profile,which photoshop loaded.
I have read the log of "getter" and "Listener",and not find the way to get the list.

Thank you for you answer.
I find a icc profile has a "internal name" which show in the color setting menu in photoshop and a "external name" which is the file name. And the "internal name" maybe different with "external name".
How I can get the "internal name" from the icc profile? I do not find the information in the ICC Profile Format Specification.
Thank you very much!

ICC Profile vs Photoshop vs Image

Hi guys,
First of all, please forgive my poor english.
I have as usual been through all the forum-reading, answer-searching stuff.
I've been having a problem with Photoshop color management since my last Windows upgrade to 7.
Colors just won't display the same in Photoshop and outside Photoshop.
I understand this has something to do with ICC profiles and applications being color managed or not.
I just downloaded an ICC profile supposedly corresponding to my monitor (there : mine is the Dell E228WFPc, but their icc is for the E228WFP http://www.focus-numerique.com/test-42/-telecharger-un-profil-calibre-pour-son-ecran-dell- 24.html I decided to try it anyway, and the colors look good...).
I don't know what makes photos not look the same inside of Photoshop. It's the case for all photographs, including those that I postworked before my reinstallation of Windows.
What would you suggest ?
Thanks in advance for your answers.

Color-management is simply the process of interpreting the colors in an image per a given document color profile, then preparing them for proper display on a device using a given device color profile. Profiles describe how color values are interpreted into real colors that we see.
Some of the first things to keep in mind with color-management are these:
Not all applications are color-managed. Many do not look at your monitor profile, and almost as many don't even look at your document profile.
Given the above, colors can be expected to look different in images displayed by applications that ARE color-managed vs. those that ARE NOT.
So in your case Photoshop, which is fully color-managed, is using both your image profile and your monitor-specific profile (and assuming they're accurate) to determine how to display colors on your monitor. This is NOT being done AT ALL in some apps, and only HALF being done in others (e.g., IE9 interprets the document profile but assumes your monitor is sRGB IEC61966-2.1).
You're seeing the differences.
Now, what's not a given is that your color profiles are accurately representing the color spaces of your document or display monitor. You may have prepared your document properly using a particular color profile, but what steps have you taken to ensure your monitor color profile accurately matches your monitor? That it's "the one" provided by the manufacturer may seem to be enough, but you don't really know what on-monitor settings or video card or cabling the manufaturer used to profile it, nor did they profile your particular copy. In short, factory monitor profiles are notoriously inaccurate.
You can choose to go in one of three directions:
1. Assume your factory monitor profile is accurate enough and just keep everything as it is.
2. Purchase a profiling device, follow their process for calibrating / profiling your display, and be sure your profile is accurate.
3. Assume your factory monitor profile is INACCURATE, replace it with the standard default sRGB IEC61966-2.1 profile, and work to set your monitor controls and video card curves manually to make colors displayed with the sRGB profile and this monitor as accurate as possible.
The 3rd scenario actually has some advantages if you can accomplish it.

ICC Profiles and Photoshop Elements 10

Photoshop Elements 10 will not bring up any of the ICC Profiles downloaded for my Epson Stylus 1280. I have photos of the PSE Screen shot showing paper types "NONE" under change settings. And under Printer Settings: Paper Type shows "UNKNOWN".
Whats going on with my PSE 10 and RR ICC Profiles?

Hi ,
go to C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\color
and copy icc profiles to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Color\Profiles
Mac- \Users\Library\ColorSync\Profiles folder
By this PSE will show the list of icc profiles.

Can you help me open or access a Blurb ICC profile in Photoshop Elements 7 On a Winows PC ?

Hi. I am starting my first Blurb book and downloaded their Blurb ICC profile. I am using Photoshop Elements 7 to edit my photographs on my Windows PC.
When I select downloads, open with PSE 7, a window opens and says " Editor Photoshop 7 Cannot open Download / Blurb - ICC - profile icc because it is the wrong type of file". Any ideas would be appreciated. Terry

Color profiles are installed via your system's color mangement options. This has nothing to do with Elements as such. Copy the file into C:\Windows\System32\Spool\Drivers\Color or use the graphics settings for your monitor or your printer options to add it.

How to add ICC profiles to Photoshop Elements 10

My ICC profiles are showing up in my LR 4, however, they will not show up in PSE 10. What do I need to do to add the profiles into PSE 10?

Hi,
The version of Camera Raw that you reported should support the S100 CR2 images.
If you load the editor, go to the File menu and select Open, then point to the file, are you saying that it displays the error message?
Have you tried opening the file with Canon's Zoombrowser?
Which operating system are you running on?

Photoshop crashes when I open documents with a diferent ICC profile

i just installed an epson Plotter and since every time I try to open documents with different ICC profile after photoshop ask's me to change the color configuration it crashes. I really need help with this issue.

I solved the problem by creating a spare user account. thanks for the help. now the issue is that I can't find, the corrupt file or what ever is making the original problem happen which is still happening in the main user account. my guess is that the corrupt file comes from the printer.
everything started to happen after I installed the printer which is an EPSON Pro 7600.
any Ideas how could I find the problematic file.
and if any of you have any Tips how to install the printer with out having problems I will really appreciate it.
thanks everyone for the help. everything was clear enough to get to know how mac works.

PS CS5 Image Display Differs From Used ICC Profile In Win 7

Hi,
on my Windows 7 Ultimate x64 machine, I just calibrated my Dell SP2309W monitor using an i1DisplayPro and basICColor 5, creating a ICC v2 profile (I am aware of the problems under Windows with ICC v4 profiles).
It created the ICC profile and applied it to be used by Windows. I double checked under COLOR MANAGEMENT that the new ICC profile is being used. Although I can see that the new ICC is being used (desktop appearance changes), there are a few issues I am experiencing:
(1.) Windows Photo Viewer
The thumbnails in Windpows Explorer look fine (they DO use the new ICC profile), when I double click a jpeg and open the image it DOES NOT use the new ICC profile. When I click the PLAY SLIDESHOW button (starting the slideshow) in the opened image in Windows Photo Viewer, the images DO use the new ICC profile.
(2.) Internet Browsers
All current internet browser (Firefox, IE, Safari and Chrome) DO use the new ICC profile and display the image correctly.
(3.) Photoshop CS 5
When I open the same image - that Windows Photo Viewer does not correctly displays (according to the new ICC profile) - in Photoshop CS5, I get the same image display that Windows Photo Viewer gives me (when not thumbnail or not in slideshow mode) - it appears to be the sRGB display.
My color settings in PS CS5 are: North America General Purpose 2 > sRGB IEC 61966-2.1.
When I go to View > Proof Setup > Monitor RGB I get the image display using the new ICC profile.
Why does the image look different in PS than my calibrated monitor should output ?
I was under the impression (please correct me if I am wrong), that the sole purpose for calibrating my monitor was to get a uniform display across (ICC aware) applications. Even when one applies different color spaces to a document in PS, I thought the output on my calibrated screen done by the graphic card should always be according to my calibration and the settings in the ICC profile being used.
What Am I doing wrong or what am I misunderstanding ?
Any help or input is appreciated !
Thanks.

Hello,
A note on monitor calibration: calibrating your monitor will not guarentee that every application will display color correctly, it's more of a step along the pipeline, and for the preview part of a color workflow it's the last step. Here's how color translation follows for an ICC workflow when previewing to a monitor:
Image Color Numbers > Document Tag or Workspace Profile > Monitor Profile
For non-color managed applications, if the original document is or isn't tagged with a color profile it will be translated directly to the monitor profile anyway. This is the equivalent in Photoshop of selecting "Monitor" in soft proofing. Selecting monitor in softproofing will bypass the tagged or workspace profile to translate colors directly through the monitor profile.
For most automatic color managed applications (like Firefox), the image will be translated through the tagged profile and then sent through the monitor profile. If the image is untagged or the profile is unrecognized, the colors get sent directly to the monitor profile.
For Photoshop, a tagged document will have its profile respected and then sent to the monitor. An untagged document will be assigned the workspace profile, which acts like a temporary document profile, and then gets sent to the monitor. This is often why users will notice Photoshop behaves differently from other applications. It's usually a case of the workspace coming into play. By default the workspace profile is set to sRGB. You can change this in Edit > Color Settings.
The purpose of the workspace is originally for printing workflows, as a way of keeping consistant color translations when dealing with both tagged and untagged documents. For web output workflows it can be useful for viewing everything through sRGB, which is typical of the average monitor output (not so with newer wide-gamut monitors, another source of confusion...) combined with the fact that originally most web browsers were not color managed. Hence viewing everything through sRGB is pretty close to what most monitors see and what untagged/unmanaged docs will look like.
Monitor calibration is useful only because it brings your monitor output to a "known state". In traditional workflows the monitor was always a middle-man, a preview device which was useful for getting an idea of what the printed output would look like before you print it. Since print colorspaces are often smaller than display spaces, it's feasible and useful to narrow down the monitor/display space and calibrate it to a known state, so that even if it doesn't totally match the print, you'll get used to its differences/limitations and they'll be consistent so long as the calibration is maintained.
For web output, your final output is often another user's computer monitor, which can have any form of behavior (most standard monitors are pretty close to sRGB, or use sRGB as an operating system workspace (default monitor profile). Wide gamuts behave differently, but I'm not sure if there's a particular ICC space that they closely match, or if different wide-gamuts are even that close to each other in their display color spaces.
Hope this helps!

Print Color Management Problem w. Photoshop Elements and Tiger/Leopard

Has anyone tried printing with ICC profiles through Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac? Apparently, it does not work on Tiger nor Leopard? My prints look very dark and over-saturated.
The Datacolor folks, who make the Spyder3 calibrators I'm using, say my prints look like they are being "double color managed," possibly once by PSE and once by the printer driver (even though it's turned off).
Over at the Adobe Forums some say it's a problem with Leopard. I'm not so sure, because I found that printing color management works fine on a Mac with Photoshop Elements 4.01 and Tiger. Any comments? Thanks.

Aha! Got it. Adobe has confirmed that the problem is on their end. PSE 6 is double color managing the images. Here's what one user got in reply from Adobe on the subject. There are two separate answers:
Thank you for contacting Adobe Technical Support.
After consulting with my colleagues about the issue you raised, I can let you know the following:
The issue is both on our as well as the driver software side and the workaround we have given is the best available at this time. This issue is affecting all printers, not just Epson or Canon.
The soft proofing effect that you are seeing in the print preview is indeed an attempt at soft proofing. However since Photoshop Elements managed prints are incorrectly double colour managed it is not as useful as it was initially designed.
As to the exact details of why this occurred, we have no official information.
We believe that this will resolve the issues you are experiencing, however, should the reply not help solve the problem, please contact us again, quoting the case number given above, and we will re-open the case.
Answer # 2
We have had word back from our engineers regarding your issue.
The Photoshop Elements team are aware of the problem and are working with Apple and the printer manufacturers to get this to work correctly. In the meantime, the only workaround is to switch off colour management in Photoshop Elements and let the printer handle the colour management.
Unfortunately we can not make an estimation as to when a fix will be provided. We will close the case for the time being as there really is nothing more we can do about this issue besides offering the suggested workaround. Closing this case does not mean that the research will stop however and the engineers are working on a solution to this.
As the tech noted, let the printer handle the color instead. Tell PSE not to manage color so it is the step sending the data unaltered. When the print dialogue comes up, under the Color Correction heading, change the pull down menu to "ColorSync". In the menu below that, choose the correct profile for the paper you're using. If the Brightness menu is still active, look for any choice that allows you to turn it off. If none exists, leave it on Normal. If the options below that for Color Balance and Intensity are not grayed out, make sure they are at the center positions (no effect).
These steps are the same as before, except you're doing them in reverse. Photoshop is doing nothing and the print driver is handling the ColorSync chores rather than the other way around.

Icc profile

Assuming they still use this printer, has anyone ever acquired an icc profile, for Photoshop proofing, for the KODAK NEXPRESS 2500 Digital Production Color Press?

ICC profile naming

Is there a way to change an ICC profile to make it more easily found in the list of icc profiles in photoshop. I have a micorsoft 7 system

Agreed!
Some of the manufacturers out there really make it tough to figure out a profile - with Ilford paper profiles probably being one of the worse. You need a translation table to make sure you are picking the right paper profile.
I profile my own papers and can name my profiles to something meaningful and recognizable; Ilford IGGFS13_EPR7880_PSPPn.icc versus ILF_Glossy_7880

Photoshop CS5 Print Printing problem: print count and print to ICC profile

Since Adobe still haven't acknowledge the printing issue with CS5, I start this thread to report my own problems.
Problem 1:
print copy count is not working. The first print is always one print regardless how many copies you set in the dialog window. The next print will actually print the copies set in the previous print job.
This is a well documented problem, and until today no fix. I am not too worried about this problem because I can always print one copy each time to get job done, until the day Adobe acknowledge and fix the problem.
Problem 2:
when I let the Photoshop manage color and print to a custome ICC profile (generated by Spyer3Print), Photoshop RANDOMLY decides to print a light colored magenta cast picture. It's like Photoshop has used the wrong ICC. Now every time I print a 13x19, I have to pray. Because this thing is so random, I can't even reproduce the problem consistantly.
here's the information about my system:
Windows 7 Ultimate 64Bit (not a fresh system) with 8GB RAM. Printer drivers installed: Canon Pro9000II, Canon MP600, Epson 1400.
I experience problem 2 after I installed CS5 with Epson 1400 printer, but not too frequent. Later on I installed drivers for Epson R1800, Epson R2400, and I mainly print with R2400. All the printer drivers, software updates are the lastest available.
I was a software developer. I wrote windows application before. I am pretty sure the problem is with CS5 based on my knowledge. If I wrote an Windows application that crashs Windows or another party's appliction, I certainly would not blame Microsoft or another party for not writing a bulletproof system. I would try to find a workaround in my own application. That's just my take. Adobe may have different mind set. They are still pointing finger to MS and Epson.

I don't condone the problems, but a workaround I've recently read about for the copy count problem is to do the following, in order:
1. Set the copy count you want.
2. Click the Print Settings... button to enter the printer driver setup dialog.
3. [OK] out.
4. Print
This is reported to get the proper copy count into the print driver and make it "stick". I just tried it and it seems to work.
Keep in mind you may want to go through this again after printing to get the copy count to default back to 1 for the next print.
