Hello folks,

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. This is not
a major point with me, but others who may be just coming to the
digital lightroom may have some difficulty understanding the ins and
outs of it. Would it be too difficult to include this copying and
pasting within the program itself. Maybe the next beta might just
include this, for I'm sure I'm not the only one who has seen this.

Your friend in Photography,

Johnny

Its in the right folder already for me.

Hello folks,

I had to copy the profile in the case of choosing it for a soft proof
from within Photoshop. I was moving many files around so this
recollection may be flawed. If so, I apologize for any contribution to
anyones confusion. There is one thing I would like to ask help on in
regards to color cast to the finished print. My prints all have a
marked yellow cast to the overall image. Can any suggestions be made
for a quick, down, and dirty way of making the correction needed
without having to go throudh a complete reprofile of paper/printer/ink
combination?

Your friend in Photography,

Johnny

Would the ambient light correction feature of the new Spyder2PRO
mitigate that issue?  

I cheat and view my prints under a Lowel EGO.  Its a lot less
expensive than some of the dedicated viewing stations for sure.

Johnny out of curiosity what printer and inkset are you using?
