Adding device profiles to the color management system
You can add color profiles to your system so that they appear as choices in the Color Settings dialog box. To minimize confusion when working with profiles, delete any profiles for devices not used by you or your workgroup. Once you have added a profile to the recommended location on your system, you may need to load it or restart Photoshop so that the profile appears in the Color Settings dialog box.
Note: In Mac OS, you can organize the ColorSync Profiles folder by creating additional folders within it, or adding aliases to other folders. However, nested folders may cause conflicts with some applications, such as Adobe PressReady.
To add profiles to your system:
- (Windows 2000) WinNT/System/Spool/ Drivers/Color.
- (Windows NT) WinNT/System32/Color.
- (Windows 98) Windows/System/Color.
- (Mac OS 9.x) System Folder/ColorSync Profiles.
- (Mac OS X) Users/CurrentUser/Library/ ColorSync.
Copy profiles to one of the following recommended locations:
Note: If you use ColorSync 2.5 but have used earlier versions, some profiles may still be stored in the System Folder/Preferences/ColorSync™ Profiles folder on your hard disk. For compatibility with ColorSync 2.5 or later, store profiles in the ColorSync Profiles folder in the System Folder.
