well Eric and all, This is what I did I downloaded the profiles from the Epson site. They went right to my desktop and I had no control to put it in that Windows/32/Color etc, folder I right clicked them .nothing that said install. I clicked them they unzipped and again I could not put them in that Windows/32/Color etc folder. The fine art profile went into C:\epson\epson12364_r1800_icc_profiles_fine_art, and the other profiles went into similarly named folders. NOW to CS2 I go to Print with Preview and chose Let PS determine colors Went to PRINT Went to PROPERTIES Went to ADVANCED Another screen choose PRESENTATION MATTE as my paper Is THIS a profile???? I have been doing this for 5 years. BUT, If I go to ICM I do see in the last box Printer Profiles and the paper listed as SPR1800 Photo Qlty IJP If I click off ICM I have choices for Epson Vivid, Epson Standard, or Adobe RGB. What do I do here. Do I do anything here? Why didn't the profiles go to the desktop and not that special Windows32/Drivers etc etc. I am very very confused here folks. I get directions from people, follow them and what I am directed to do doesn't work as it does for others. There is NO book for this, NO manual, nothing. How are people supposed to know what to do I really don't want to buy another book just to learn profiles. I have been printing from lower end printers for years, have sold many many 8x10's and 11x14's and have been doing photography for almost 40 years and owned my own studio and custom black and white lab, and. I have NEVER found anything that is supposed to be SO important to have so little resources as to how utilize them (profiles). Thakns for the help, any more help to get me out of this quagmire will be appreciated. Frank and if I can ever get the QTR to show up and work, I will be doubly happy. --- In DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint@yahoogroups.com, "Eric Neilsen" <e.neilsen2@...> wrote: > > Frank, Right click on them, you may need to click one at a time, and select > install.
