QTR-Quadtone RIP

I recently updated my QTR software and went from PS7 to CS2.  I just 
created a new profile for museum etching using the curve eval program 
like always.  I created the profile but when clicking "Install 
Profile" I now get the message "This is not a valid color profile".  
Any ideas on what is going on?  I am using Windows XP.

Thanks,
Jenny

You can just copy the profile into the proper folder, probably
Windows/System32/Spool/Drivers/Color/. There is something about the profile that
Windows profile installer doesn't like. In all other respects it works fine.

Thanks Stephen.  I copied the profile into that folder but it still 
doesn't show up in my pulldown list in PS.  Hmmmm.

Did you restart PS? It only looks for profiles when it starts up.

Yes, I did.  However, I didn't notice that it listed the profiles --
they were just way out of order and not alphabetized like the rest of 
them.  Thanks for your help!

The other possibility is that the QTR ICC doesn't have a "description." That's
what PS shows in the list, not the file name. This can cause a bit of trouble if
you have two (or more) ICC's with the same description.

Photoshop groups by type and then sorts them.
The grayscale ones are at the bottom.
