I'm just a humble photographer, not a digital color management wiz. I
use film for my shooting which is mostly architectural. I use a G3
with OS 8.6 and Photoshop 5 (yes I know I am a dinosaur). I make it a
point never to be the first kid on the block with the latest
software/hardware (let others work out the bugs). I calibrate my
monitor with the Colorvision Monitor Spyder. My prints are done at my
color lab on a LightJet 2000 printer. They recently switched from
ColormatchRGB to a custom profile supplied by an outside vendor. They
gave me the custom profile to install in my Colorsync folder. My
problem is that Photoshop does not recognize that profile when I go
into the RGB/Setup. The only ones available are the standard ones
that come with the program. I talked to the guy at the lab who is in
charge of color management and he gave me instructions for loading
it. He said there is a Prefered folder within the Colorsync folder
and I should put the profile in there. Only there was no Prefered
folder. So I made a "Prefered" folder and put the profile in there.
It still didn't come up in PS5. I can do a profile to profile change
and the custom profile shows up in that list but that doesn't seem
like a good way to work. The lab checked the instructions on the
vendors website and they can't figure out why it doesn't work for me.
I can select the custom profile as the RGB default in the Colorsync
control panel but not as a working space in PS5. Any ideas what my
problem is? Am I just missing something here? I suppose I will have
to upgrade soon but I hate doing that because it always means hours,
days or weeks trying to get everything working again - all that
time/money wasted when I should be out photographing. Please help!
