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.

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.

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.

Where does Photoshop get date info?

Where does Photoshop (and Bridge) pull the timestamp information it uses for "date modified" from?
The time/date on my computer (from the system tray) are correct, but when I work on pictures they get a "date modified" stamp of February, 2036. New files created through Bridge get the same timestamp.
Where do I fix this?
TIA for your help.

Never mind. I messed with it a while and finally stumbled on the fix. Thanks anyway!

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

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.

Where does DW CS5 store FTP and other data in W7

My computer self destructed the boot sectors of it's system disc. I managed to get a clever chap to rescue all the app data and have managed to get back all my browserss book marks, pass words etc.
My next stap is to try and get back all my presets and FTP data for all my client's web sites in dreamweaver, without all the pain and grief of reloading it all manually.
So - where does Dreamweaver CS5 store all the site data etc on a Windows 7 (64bit) machine?
Many thanks

The only way to retrieve site definitions is from previously exported .ste files.
To backup, go to Sites > Manage Sites > Export...
To recover, go to Sites > Manage Sites > Import > browse to .ste files on your hard disk, local site folders or removable flash drive.
If you didn't backup your site definition settings to a safe place, I'm afraid you'll need to manually input this info again.
See Migrating snippets, workspace and extensions...

Where does Bridge CS5 store the metadata files?

Where does Bridge CS5 store the metadata files that are created under the Tools menu? I moved CS5 from one drive to another on my Mac Pro and lost all of them. I'd like to recover them is possible.

Yikes!

First of all, all Adobe applications really need to be installed and reside permanently on your boot volume, i.e. the same volume where your OS resides. There will be endless grief if you install the applications elsewhere.
Secondly, I hope by "moved" you mean that you deactivated CS5 and then used the Adobe Uninstaller to uninstall CS5, then re-installed CS5 from the original media, from scratch, and not just drag-copied the Application folder. And hopefully there's an OS installation on that other drive that will allow you to boot off that drive.
Third, you need to refer to your preferences in Bridge as you set them to find out whether you were keeping the cache in distributed folders or were using the central database, whether you were using separate xmp sidecar files, whether you had Export Cache to Distributed Folders set in Bridge preferences, etc..

Does Photoshop CS5, Elements 8 and Lightroom 3 support Windows 7 64 bit Home Edition?

Does Photoshop CS5, Elements 8 and Lightroom 3 support Windows 7 64 bit Home Edition? Any issue installing these products on a new PC when I already have it installed on another PC? I am getting a new PC to replace XP machine I already have.

Yes, Photoshop runs on all editions of Windows 7 as far as I know.
And the Photoshop EULA does give you the option to install and activate the software on a second machine. Once you no longer need the XP system, assuming it's still functional, just deactivate the Adobe software on it and you'll be able to have the same flexibility again in the future.
If ever you have a licensing agreement question, all the EULAs are online here:
http://www.adobe.com/products/eulas/
A side note: Windows Home Premium may do all you need for now, but keep in mind there is a Windows Anytime Upgrade you can buy in the future that will allow you to move up to a higher edition of Windows 7 later if you should feel you need more features.
This page has some information on that, and also describes the edition differences pretty thoroughly. I especially like the nice table they've built:

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

Does Photoshop CS5 support Nikon D800 raw?

Does Photoshop CS5 support Nikon D800 raw?

Curt Y wrote:
From posts I have read the camera raw starting in 7.2 is far superior to the older version.
Yes, absolutely, no contest. The D800 already has an almost unprecedented dynamic range, and Process Version 2012 (ACR 7.1 and up), with its new highlight recovery algorithm, really makes it shine. Using PV 2010 (up to ACR 6.7) on that camera feels almost like a waste.

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 /

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

Anyone know where the photoshop cs5 essential font folder is located?

anyone know where the photoshop cs5 essential font folder is located?
i know the windows font folder works, but adobe used to have a font folder of there own.
there is no C:\Program Files\Common Files\Fonts in cs5.
only
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\FontsRequired
and
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\FontsRecommended
which i did try.

The Adobe font folder is a goner. It is deprecated as of CS5 and no longer used. any fonts must be installed using your operating system's font management.
