Paper Profiles??

[Donald Miller]

I understand that I can get the paper profile from the manufacturer...my question is what to do with them when I have them. By that I mean that these will need to be installed...where are they installed? I have a R 2400 and am running Vista on my computer. Any guidance you can give me on this will be greatly appreciated.

Put them in:

../winnt/system32/spool/drivers/color

Then they should show up in the next time you run PS.

Thanks a bunch. I appreciate the help.

May I re-ask Donald Millers question but substitute MAC OS X as the computer...how do you get profiles to appear in the 2400 printer paper pull down...
Guidance appreciated as well. Thanks

Hi Gari,
Thanks.
I'll give this another "go"...the profiles I was downloading did make it into the Library but never showed up in the printer pull down...ahhh, perhaps something went awry.

Welcome! Nancy,

Tell us more about your work. (of course, only if you want to ).

Hello DWROSS and thanks for your welcome. I'm a long time pursuing photography, thirty years plus. Mainly, of course, that means film and darkroom work which I still love, and do. My longest and strongest interest is landscape and I use medium and large format B&W for that prupose. I do my own darkroom work start to finish.
Currently I'm working my way through years of negatives and working on what I've passsed by, subject wise...it's somewhat overwhelming...but long on interest...at least for me.
I find digital exciting, I've been Photoshopping for several years and aside for the obvious technical challenges which I enjoy, I'm finding color exciting, doing still life work with strange objects I've picked up/collected, along the way. I don't know where that project is going and it's got me to wearing out my CS2 books figurinig out how to do this and that.
I consider myself to be an artist, I draw and I "writes a bit". I'm a native Chicagoan and still live only a few suburbs north of there.
I don't know how long I'll be able to "do it all" with film and digital but for now I'm trying...

Hi Nancy, I have had times when I can't see a profile in a drop down menu despite seeing it in the correct file. I found that giving it time( no idea why, but it worked) or failing that closing PS then reopening.
They usually show up then.

Hope this helps

Early versions of Photoshop only scanned that folder when it launched, CS2 and CS3 scan more often (I think). Also if it can't find them you may need to do a disk repair and repair permissions.

If all that doesn't work then you should see if you can open the profile in Color Sync, if it can't the profile may have become corrupt.
