I’ve been following this issue of Photoshops Print dialog not showing certain
profiles for years now. Your profiles show up everywhere else, ie: in every
application and even within Photoshop, but just aren’t showing up specifically
in Photoshop's Print dialog right? If so, this is a known issue, but some of
the specifics are a little vague. Here’s what I know:
1) Profiles that use certain special characters are ignored. “(”, “)” and “-“
are three examples that can cause profiles to not show up. You must use the
ColorSync utility to remove these characters in their *internal* names,
specifically the ASCII Name in order for Photoshop to list these profiles in
the Print dialog. Leaving these characters in the external file name is fine.
2) Some profiles won’t show up when placed in Adobe’s “Recommended” folder, but
will shop up with moved into the parent “Profiles” folder.
3) Profiles that aren’t visible on one Mac may be visible when placed in the
same location on another Mac running the same OS and PS version.
Reproducibility is a challenge.
I’ve documented this carefully, sent details, profiles and screen grabs to
several people at Abode including Dave Polaschek, but… nothing. No
acknowledgement or improvement in 7 years now. They suggest using their
profiles instead of “flakey" custom ones. If anyone can help I think there are
a lot of people who would appreciate it. This problem is far more widespread
than you would think from what little discussion there is about it.
