Colour Profiles

Soft Proofing with ICC profiles

Icc profiles need to be saved in the correct location on your computer so that Photshop can access it:

  • Mac OS X: /Library/ColorSync/Profiles
  • Mac OS 9.x: System Folder/ColorSync Profiles
  • Windows 2000, XP, Vista, Windows7 : \Windows\system32\spool\drivers\color

Once the icc profiles have been saved in the correct location and Photoshop has been restarted you can soft proof your file by selecting:

  • View>Proof Setup>Custom

and set up as follows using the appropriate colour profile. This will give you a preview of what your image should look like when printed on the corresponding paper type if your monitor is calibrated correctly.
