PSE6 printer profile location.

I use PSE 6. I recently suffered a hard drive crash. I have a backup, but was unable to do an automatic restore. Consequently, I lost all of my printer profile settings. If I can locate the file, I think I should be able to copy it into my new installation. Can anyone tell me where to find it?
Thank you.

Help not locating printer profile

2. Re: How to install Epson ICC profiles using Photoshop CC?
Mark Goodwin LRPS Aug 28, 2014 4:14 PM
I had a problem and needed to upload a HP Printer Profile.I down loaded it from the site then opened and placed in the Mac: Library/ColourSync/Profiles folder. I then restarted the computer and restored PS CC separately. I was able to find the profile under the View>Custom> drop down and select it. But when I came to the print stage the profile was not to be found in PD Print. I also trued installing the profile via Username/Library?ColourSync?Profile folder. But still no luckHelp please?

I thought I had solved the problem when I came across a new HP App that specifically claimed to solve the problem people were having with iPrint: "HP ePrint Home & Biz", but that does not work either. It gets as far as registering the App but then will not complete the verification (just will not open HP ePrintercenter.com). But in that case I think the problem is that my printer (Photosmart C7280) does not have the eprint capability. But it IS listed as compatible with the iPrint App (http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/ePrint-Print-Apps-Mobile/hp-iprint-app-help-not-finding-printer/m-p/827... )
Must I give up?

Printer Profiles in Lightroom 4

I have a Mac Mini and Lightroom 4. I downloaded printer profiles from a local lab but don't know how to get Lightroom to recognize them for soft proofing and printing.

You need to put them in the correct location for the system to pick them up. This is in /Library/ColorSync/Profiles/ or in ~/Library/ColorSync/Profiles. After you put the profile there, restart Lightroom and they will show up when you select other in the profile dialogs in Lightroom. Unfortunately in the last versions of Mac OS X, the finder hides these folders by default. Simply go into the Go Menu and select "Go to Folder" or hit Shift-command-G and type the above locations. The drag the profiles in the resulting finder window. If you're the only user on the machine either location is fine.

Color management/print profile setting in LR2

I tried to set a custom print profile in the LR2 Print Module. Specifically, I picked print to JPEG and under "Color Management" I picked "Profile/Other. When I pick other, an empty pick panel pops up. I use Vista 32 and under "\Windows\system32\spool\drivers\color" there are lots of ICC profiles available. How do I point LR2 to the location where Vista stores these profiles?

>As described in my opening problem description, I would like to print to JPEG and using the new LR2 ICC profile option provided under "Color Management" / "Profile/Other" and pick an ICC profile.
I'm not sure what the solution may be. When I chose to print to a .jpg file I see four profiles show up: sRGB, Adobe RGB, and Pro Photo RGB in addition to my normal printer profile. If I chose 'Other' then I see all of the profiles in C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\color. If I deselect 'Include Display Profiles' then I only see those profiles associated with my default printer. I know that sRGB and Adobe RGB are installed by the disk that installed my V500 scanner drivers, but those are 'generic' files and may also have been installed by other driver software.
Note, none of the profiles in that folder were copied there by me. All 31 were installed either by a printer driver installation, monitor installation, or installation of my Epson V500 scanner.
Quite possibly some were there after I installed the system but before I installed any drivers--I can't say for sure because I never looked at that folder before installing drivers.

How do you specify printer profiles in Elements 11?

I upgraded from Elements 7 where there was a "drop-down" box that listed all of the available printer profiles to choose from. I don't see a drop-down box in Elements 11 to accomplish the same thing. I use Color Munki to set up printer profiles and can't find them in Elements 11.

Both Epson and HP have been playing a game of Hide-and-Seek for the last year or two. Instead of putting the profiles they install into one of the common Profiles folders, they are in the /Library/Printers/ folder. For Epson, drill down to /Library/Printers/Epson/InkjetPrinter2/ICCProfiles. At least, this is where the installer for the Stylus Pro 4900 puts them.
It was much harder to find those installed for the Stylus Pro 4000. They are still in this general area, but were hidden inside one of the .plugin packages a bit deeper into the folder structure.
Either way, the Epson print drivers know where these profiles are and show up in the print dialogue boxes. Trouble is, other apps, such as Adobe, Quark, can't see them, so you can't choose any of the profiles from those program's print option boxes.
The only solution is to locate the profiles in the /Library/Printers/ folder and move all profiles to either the /Library/ColorSync/Profiles/ folder, or the Profiles folder in your user account. You want to move instead of copy so each profile isn't showing up twice in the Epson print dialogue box.

Printer Profiles Not Visible in LR4 Mac

Hey guys, just checking to see if there is something I'm missing.
Short version: My printer profiles are not showing up in the "choose profile" dialog in LR4.
Long versioin: I'm trying to print an image from LR4 to my Xerox Phaser 8560 using a custom color profile I created with my ColorMunki. However the profile isn't showing up in the "choose profile" dialog box. There is also no apparent way to open a dialog box to search for the file. The profile is recently created. Works in Indesign CS4. It's located in the main Library/Colorsync/Profiles/ and my user (~/Library/Colorsync/Profiles/). It doesn't show up even when checking the "include display profiles" checkbox which is the only option available.
System: iMac 27" 3.4Ghz i7 16G Ram; Xerox Phaser 8560DN; LR 4.0
Am I missing something here?
Thanks,
Jason

You likely made a CMYK profile for the printer and LR doesn't support CMYK profiles. You'll have to remake the profile to be an RGB profile. ColorMunki can do that although it'll default to CMYK unless you override that...

CANON PRO-1 PRINTER PROFILE ACCESS PROBLEM

I own a Canon pro-1 printer and I am trying to access my third party profiles from within the printer setup/printer profile window, but I am restricted to selecting from only the Canon's Pro-1 titled profiles for example, Canon pro-1 <FA> 2/3 fine art paper photo rag . All of my profiles are located in the same location, Windows/system 32/spool/driver/color. Where do I go to change my printer's settings so that I may access all of my printer icc profiles? I noticed that the Canon profiles have an .icm format, while my other profiles read .icc.
Thank you for your help.
Mark

All of your printer profiles must be in the folder that you specified. I just bought a Pro-1 printer and my printer profiles total seventeen for the Pro-1. Your Hahnemuhle or other paper mfr profiles must be in this same folder for windows to find them. If you think you are missing some, I would re-install the printer driver, which is where the software loads the icc profiles to begin with. You have to download other paper mfr profiles from their own sites for the Pro-1 model.

CS3 printer profiles (icc & icm) have disappeared.

I am running under XP SP3 with Photoshop CS3 version 10.0.1 with an Epson R2400. All of the profiles are present in windows/system32/spool/drivers/color, but are not listed in Photoshop's printer profile list. Everything was working fine as recently as 3-4 weeks ago, and everything is still working fine in CS2 which is also installed on this machine (3.7gig processor with 1gig ram) and several large hard drives).
I noticed the problem after installing SP3 today, but the problem remained after I restored a Ghost image created just prior to the SP3 update. Thus, it seems not to be caused by SP3. I have reinstalled SP3 based on that conclusion.
The only items on the printer profile list look like things that ship with Photoshop such as Apple RGB.

Sorry, but it is NOT a screen resolution problem. As I said, up until a few weeks ago, everything worked fine. Printer profiles are displayed, but, I suspect, ONLY the ones which ship with Photoshop. Other profiles, such as those for the 2400R are NOT displayed even though they exist in the correct location. I can see the entire profile list, and there are no scrolling controls being displayed.
Options were reset before I posted this issue. The reset did not help.

Epson Paper profiles-location/deletion

I just installed some Epson 3800 "Professional Profiles". They found a home in two places. 1st on Lib/Printers/Epson/InkjetP2/IccProfiles/Pro38.profiles where they are in a cryptic "Package" form. They also went to Lib/ColorSync/Profiles/Epson Stylus Pro3800 where they are in a normal .icc with color space symbol form. I clearly don't need or want these in two places-do I? Can I get rid of all the cryptic "package" versions and just use the ones in the ColorSync folder for everything?
I also want to get rid of many unneeded profiles so what comes up in the printer dialog has limited choices etc. I have 48 of these Package crypticlly labled profiles in the first listed Lib/Printers/Epson/InkjetP2/IccProfiles/Pro38.profiles location. I cannot tell what they are for except for the 9 I just installed from epson. Any advice/help will be appreciated. Thanks.

(1) Don't use "Lib" instead of "Library". (There are actually lots of folders on your disk named "lib".)
(2) Don't delete anything in </Library>, unless you know precisely and exactly what it does and that you won't need it. Rule of thumb: If you need to ask, don't do it.
(3) There's nothing cryptic about a 'package'. It's merely a type of folder (directory), and you can see its contents by ctrl-click/right-click and choosing Show Package Content.
(4) As a rule, an Epson printer driver should give you the option of using either ColorSync or Epson's colour controls. It's usually better to have options…

Removing Printer Profiles for use in PS CS3

I'm setting up my work flow using PS to manage printing. I have lots of printer profiles accumulated over the years and would like to weed them out. How can I do that? Where are they located in the files? I'm using OS 10.5.2.
Thanks.

They're generally located in your Library>ColorSync>Profiles folder, but some are also in the same folder under your User name. Because I make custom profiles for both myself and others, not only inkjets but at least twenty different printing houses and a couple of photo labs here in lo-cal, I have hundreds. What I do is make a new folder called Profiles Disabled and move all the unwanted profiles to that folder. I'm not getting rid of them permanently but getting them out of sight as far as Ps is concerned.

CS6 Photoshop - No Printer Profiles

I have Photoshop CS6 running on WIndows 7 64bit. When I go to the print menu my HP Photosmart 8250 printer is selected. However, there are no printer profiles listed. No HP or any other printer profiles. The profiles listed are e-RGB, various Fujifilm, Kodak film, etc. The pictures are assigned to Adobe RGC (1998).
Is the problem because Photoshop does not recognize the HP Photosmart 8250 or is something else wrong? The printer worked fine through Photoshop CS 5.5.
Is there a way toI define a custom printer profile?
Thanks for the help.
MWL

I was having the same issue with all of CS3 and Snow Leopard. So thanks for the tip on where they need to be located. Instead of doing your alias trick, I just made copies inside the Adobe Color folder. That works so far with Illustrator. Haven't tried the other programs yet. Again, thanks for posting this!

Mac: Elements 8 missing printer profiles

Hi guys, I tried printing an image using Elements 8 yesterday, having upgraded from 6 on my Mac. Strangely, it didn't bring up any of the manufacturer printer profiles, nor my custom made one, when I tried to print and select them under colour management.
Elements 6 would simply look to my ColorSync library to find profiles, what's 8 doing? How do I point it in the right direction?

Barbara. forgot to mention the reason that some people got better colours letting the printer manage the colour conversion was that ADOBE admitted to me in an email that they had a known problem with PSE6 on the MAC. Initially they said it happened to all printers as shown in quote 1. Later on. finally they said only Epson had the problem. Printing seemed to improve significantly for me when Converting from Tiger to Leopard.
Quote....1.
Dear Sir,
Here is the Feedback from my engineers::
Previous Research::
Apologies for the delay but I had to get some replacement inks for my printer as well as a time window to test this properly. I have now tested this with a Canon i990 and Ilford Smooth pearl paper using both Photoshop Elements 4 & 6 and the latest printer driver on a PowerMac G5 running OS X 10.4.11. I have a custom profile for the paper and ink combination and use this throughout. I used the ole no moire test file which includes a good full colour palette in the image as well as 10 - 100% ink densities for CMYK inks.
I can now confirm your observations and can clearly see that when Photoshop Elements manages the colours under 4, the reproduction is fairly close to the regional you see onscreen. Letting the printer manage colours under Photoshop Elements 4 gave terrible results - nothing like the original with a strong orange cast in the colours.
In Photoshop Elements 6, letting the printer manage the colors, a fairly accurate result was obtained, potentially better than the Photoshop Elements 4 when it managed the colours. Let Photoshop Elements 6 manage the colours and the results are as the customer described, far more saturated. In fact, the 80-100% square for both Cyan and Magenta colours were the same in intensity which would explain the oversaturated look.
Concluding Research::
I have now heard back from engineering and the. It would appear that this is an issue with he printer driver not doing what it claims to be doing - even though printer driver claims colour management is turned off, it is still colour managing the print. The result is that if you set Photoshop Elements to colour manage, it will be double colour managed. The Photoshop Elements team are aware of this issue 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. Using this workflow, I got some good colour matching from Photoshop Elements, although it is not identical to the results obtained in Photoshop Elements 4, it is close.
Yours Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Laugesen,

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.

Where are printer profiles stored in 10.9.5?

I have replaced my old, large format printer and want to discard its old printer profiles from the OS. Where are these stored? I'm using Photoshop CS5 with a (new) Canon iPF6400 printer. Can I just drag these old profiles to the Trash or is there some other procedure I need to use? Thanks.

Dragging the old profiles to the trash is all you need to do to get rid of them. They can be in a few places.
/Library/ColorSync/Profiles is the normal location. You can also check the Profiles folder of your user account, they but typically shouldn't be there. They can also be buried in with the print drivers. And those can be difficult to find.
The names of the profiles in the folders aren't what shows up in your apps. So a very vaguely named profile could be one of the ones you're looking for. To check, double click any profile you're not sure of to open it in the ColorSync Utility. Click the second line, Localized Description String. If there's another line named Apple multi-localized description strings, click that one to see what it says. One or the other will be what appears in your lists. For example:
Localized description strings for this profile simply says "Display" in its field below. However, nothing in ColorSync shows up by that name. "CG243W" under Apple multi-localized description strings is what gets used.
I mention this only because some profile names from the desktop are rather meaningless, but those are somewhat rare. Usually, the name is pretty obvious.
So if you can't find the old profiles in the main Library folder, then they're likely in with the printer drivers. Go to the /Library/Printers folder. If your old printer was an Epson for example, and you no longer have any Epson printers, you can toss the entire folder named Epson within the Printers folder if you want to. Otherwise, you have to start digging through the folder of each make to locate them. For example:
In this case, I would look through Epson, Lexmark and Xerox (I already know SII is just a label printer and there won't be any profiles in there). For our Epson 4900, one of the subfolders in the Epson folder was plainly and conveniently named ICCProfiles. All I had to do was empty it. For our now sold Stylus Pro 3800, the profiles were well hidden in a file name xxxx.plugin (the xxxx being whatever its name was). You have to right click on the plugin package and choose to show the contents. Then go through any folders within that and see if the profiles are within that .plugin file.
Yes, it can be much more difficult to find them than it should. So make sure you have a full backup of your system before you start doing this kind of digging.

How do you use an outside Lab ICC Printer Profile in PSE 12?

I have an image that I scanned in from an old print then I edited it using PSE-12. Now that I've completed the editing and retouching I plan to have the image printed by an outside that has the ability to read ICC Printer Profiles designed for their printers embedded in the image. My proble is I don't know how to add a particular ICC Printer Profile to a image worked on in PSE-12. If I was using Lightroom or PS-CS5 or 6 there is a straight forward way to accomplish this goal.
Is there any way to accomplish the same objective when using PSE-12?

Thanks MichelBParis. I must be getting old (I'm 78) and I completely missed that when I was in Dry Creek Photo. In fact that is where I get all of my ICC Printer Profiles from when I'm using either Lightroom or Photoshop CS. What I'm doing is tutoring a friend on the use of PSE-12 (although I do own a copy for my own use) and I was trying to set him up to use ICC Printer Profiles and avoid letting the labs do "Automatic Color Adjust). I had many images ruined in the past just because the lab did an automatic color adjust until an operator schooled me on what was happening. I'm now a part time photographer and I never send an image to be printed without first making sure I have an applicable ICC Printer Profile embedded. and request the lab to turn off their automatic color adjustment.
Thanks again for the perfect solution.
