Nothing special for you to do. The printer profiles aren't saved into a Photoshop-specific
area on your drive, they're stored in an overall location where all color-managed
applications to find them.

You don't have to do anything for this. Just upgrade to CS5, and all of your existing
printer profiles will show up, exactly as they did before.

It depends on whether you're running Mac or Windows, but there's a quick,
easy way. Run Spyder3Print and use the File:Open Profiles command - it'll
open your printer profiles folder - and then just delete the ones you don't
want to keep around.

Remember: these are the "built" profiles we're talking about here - these
are what show up in Photoshop's popups.

There are also the measurement files you created in Spyder3Print - those
are what show up in Spyder3Print's popups. If you want to get rid of
those as well: use the File:Open Data command in Spyder3Print, and
delete the measurement files (with .xml extensions) that you don't
want to keep any longer.

For that, you will have to tell him your operating system (smile).

Like I said: the easiest way to open the folder where your profiles live,
is to run Spyder3Print and let it do the hard work for you.

Spyder3Print, File:Open Profiles.

Also, before I forget: Spyder3Print has now been renamed SpyderPRINT in
a new 4.2.3 version. You can download the installer for the new version
from our website. This is a naming change only, there are no real
functional changes, but it always feels "better" to have the latest.
