Where do I save other ICC Profiles so I can use them in softproofing in Lightroom 4?

I am starting to use an online photo printing service and the photos are not an accurate representation of what I see on the screen so I want to download their color profiles which are specific to their printers and various papers. Where do I save the files so Lightroom4 can access them in softproofing?

On a mac, it's Library/ColorSync/Profiles either in the root or user level (under 10.7, that folder is hidden)**
**In the Finder, choose Go > Go To Folder.
In the Go To Folder dialog, type Sudo ~/Library Click Go.
OR
This method makes the user library folder permanently visible but requires the use of Terminal (not for the novice user):
Launch Terminal from the Utilities folder.
In Terminal type the following command and type Return key:
  1. chflags nohidden ~/Library
Enter administrator password and then type Return key.
Type Exit and quit Terminal.

  • For archiving photos, should I save sRGB ICC profile?

    Hi all.
    I have started scanning old print photographs for archive.
    I started a bunch of them, but now am pondering if whether or not I should save an ICC profile to the files.
    Basically I'm scanning in the photos at 600 dpi, and saving them as TIFF with NO compression and set to IBM PC.
    For the ICC profile option, it gives me sRGB IEC61966-2.1.
    Do I need to tick that when saving, or will the colors look fine in future computers/applications?
    I'm kinda confused on the ICC/sRGB matter even after reading about it. From what I understood it's only to display colors accurately for the Web.
    How does ICC/sRGB factor into my archival project?
    I'd greatly appreciate any feedback, tips and advice.
    Thank you.

    Yes, if you are archiving, save the document with it's profile.
    You don't need to convert to any particular profile (which could lose details), just save with the profile of the document.
    ICC defines a standard for describing document colors.  Without that information, your document is just numbers without any known appearance. With a profile, the document numbers have an unambiguous interpretation as colors.
    sRGB is just a profile that represents the average CRT as of 10+ years ago, and is sort of a standard average for web viewing on uncalibrated displays and web browsers that don't always obey profiles.

  • Why can't I save an icc profile to a template?

    Why can't I save an icc profile to a template?

    Just tested it... LR5 on Win7 correctly remembers the ICC profile settings in the print templates. Furthermore, internal settings of the printer driver (if printer-level color mgt is used) should be remembered, too (I didn't test this now). Which LR-version/OS are you using? Perhaps others can reproduce the problem.
    Or do you mean why ICC profiles can't be embedded diretly in the print template file, e.g. to transfer them to another computer? This would be difficult because ICC profiles have to be "formally" installed in the operating system before use. Although LR could be able to use "local" profiles I suppose (but that wouldn't be a "clean" use of ICC profiles).

  • Could anyone please let me know how to set a ICC profile with Acrobat dlls using Csharp or VB

    Could anyone please let me know how to set a ICC profile with Acrobat dlls using Csharp or VB

    Cant we even use the dlls in an application?
    In order to automate Acrobat, you need to have Acrobat installed. There is
    nothing you can do with just the DLLs. As was already stated, Acrobat is
    not licensed for use on a server, but regardless of that, it's also
    not technically suitable for server use. You need to find a solution
    outside of Acrobat to solve your problem.
    It also seems that you don't have a good understanding of what is going in
    inside a PDF file. PDF is a very complex file format, and based on
    your questions
    and followup questions, you need to spend a considerable amount of time
    getting familiar with the PDF file format to understand how color works in
    the PDF context. Reader the PDF spec, while paying special attention to the
    section about color. You will find out that if you want to convert the
    color space of a "PDF file", you actually need to convert the color space
    associated with every single object in your PDF file. That is fairly simple
    for vector graphic and text, but when it comes to images, you may have to
    convert the image data. Once you have a good understanding of what it is
    you need to do within the PDF file, then you can start looking for tools
    that allow you to do that. Again, Acrobat and therefore the Acrobat SDK is
    not suitable for this task. If you want to stay with Adobe products take a
    serious look at the PDF Library, which his licensed through Datalogics (
    http://www.datalogics.com/products/pdf/pdflibrary/). As you've mentioned,
    there are other, non-Adobe PDF libraries that you can also use, but this is
    the Acrobat SDK forum, so I won't discuss any of those 3rd party solutions.
    You are wasting your time while looking for a simple solution that does not
    exist.

  • Are there any other flash players that you can use on Safari other than Adobe

    Not as far as I am aware.
    The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:

    this may sound like a stupid question,,,but can i downlaod other programmes to my ipad, and use them like i would on a pc/net book ?

    No.
    It is not a replacement for a computer.
    It mirrors the selected content of your computer.
    The only programs that can be loaded on an ipad are those found in the app store.

  • Where do I find the ICC profile for my new Canon Pro-100 printer?

    I  downloaded ICC profiles for several different papers, but for optimum color management, do I not also need a ICC profile for the printer itself? Very new to this......I have my ColorMunki and I use Photoshop and Lightroom. Trying to get everything coordinated properly...........
    Thanks for the help,
    Laura Mowrey

    If you downloaded ICC profiles for papers they should be for the Pro-100. The paper vendor prints a known pattern of colors using a Pro-100 and then uses a device to analyze the print. The ICC profile contains the correction info that adjusts the printer to make the prints look like the known color pattern.
    The Color Munki will calibrate your monitor to make sure that the colors you see are correct.
    I suggest you calibrate the monitor to,D50 at 80-90 lumens/m^2.

    Hello,
    the *.jar file thing is a common problem in Java. One simple solution to the problem is by saving the *.jar file in the C:\j2sdk1.4.0\jre\lib\ext\ folder. This directory is an extension to the regular java files and by doing this, java will look in this directory if you import some other files not included in the java package. This does not work if you are using JBuilder, couse JBuilder installs its own jsdk, which is uses, probably under the JBuilder folder.

  • After bringing in the movie from a video camera in iMovie and enhancing it tiles and transitions etc how do you and where do you save the project for burning DVD's using iDVD?

    Where do you save a movie project for burning DVD's using iDVD?

    I recommend that you use SHARE/TO MEDIA BROWSER in Large size. Then in iDVD, you open the Media Browser and navigate to your project. You can drag it into your iDVD project from there.
    You can also use SHARE/EXPORT MOVIE and save to the location of your choice. You can then drag and drop into iDVD.

  • Where can I store my VI's so I can use them in other programs

    When I write a VI where can I store this VI to use in other programs as sub-VI's and how do I retreave them.
    (Example) I build a special timing program and want to use this timing in other programs. So iI don't have to re-write this program over and over. I am using LabView 6i with some revisions. (Older cards)

    You can store them where ever you want. To retrieve them you can drag and drop them to the diagram or use "Select a VI..." from the function palette. The later will open a file dialog that will allow you to navigate to where you stored the vi. Another way to do it is to store your vi in the LabVIEW\user.lib directory, then you can retrieve your vi from "User Libraries" in the function palette.
    Hope this helps
