Re: [QuadtoneRIP] Print Tool and icc profiles

2015-12-23 by richard@...

PrintTool nicely organizes the profiles into different groups, but it doesn't seem to matter if you move them to Library/ColorSync/Profiles or to the alias to the QTR folder there. Photoshop seems to ignore it all together and just lumps all the profiles into a long list when trying to make a custom soft proof setting.

One thing that might not be obvious to new people is that you can rename the ICC profile by opening it in ColorSync Utility and in the second line (1 'desc') change the ASCII Name to something that is easier to read than whatever the file name was for the original measurement file (just changing the file name of the icc profile might not work all the time or show up in all places).
