Soft Proof Profiles

2004-04-21 by Tom Salyer

I am trying to install some new paper profiles ( from Image Print ) so 
I can soft proof my images in Photo Shop CS, Mac OS 10.2, and can not 
find where they belong.

My Image Print vendor Lexjet told me they go into system > color sync > 
profiles, but when I try to drop the profile in, it bounces out and a 
message says I can not modify "profiles".

This folder has only six profiles, five like "generic CMYK 
profile.icc", and one sRGB.

But, in photo shop, if I go to view > proof > proof set up dialog box, 
and pull down the "profile" drop down menu, I must have nearly 100 
profiles to choose from, from color spaces RGB1998, 10% dot gain, 
Euroscale Coated, every monitor profile I've made, commercial profiles 
I've purchased, all the Epson printer profiles I've ever loaded up.

Where in the world do these profiles live on my computer? I need to 
drop in my new Image Print ones, and am going nuts :)

Many thanks in advance,
