I'm still learning the ins and outs of PFP and am thoroughly pleased
with the rapid progress I'm able to make into the world of color,
after the BW world for 40 years. I do have one point to inquire about;
and this is not meant as a criticism of the fine work done for PFP,
but is there anyone but me that has had to copy and paste the
resulting .icm printer profile to the proper places for Windows XP and
Photoshop to display them where needed? For example, to use soft proof
I had to copy the profile to another folder; and the same for the
printer profile also to be used tor print from Photoshop.
Is there something unusual about your drive configurations? As the help notes, the profiles are placed in the standard color folder for Win2000 and XP, and that should be all thats needed; certainly none of the hundreds of Windows-based users so far have commented on it not putting them in the right place!
With Photoshop, you do need to force the application to refresh its list of profiles, which can be done by quitting and restarting Photoshop, but I just go to ProofSetUp > Custom, which forces a refresh of the list, before printing.
