Installing ICC profiles in windows enviroment.
Apr 5, 2018 21:44:16 #
Hi all. I am having difficulty trying to install the ICC Profiles into Lightroom 6 and Photoshop CS5. I have scoured the web but it seems the videos are for Mac computers and older versions of Lightroom and CS5. Neither of these work with my combination. I have the Canon Pro-100, Windows 10. I typically use Canon paper but decided to try out the Metallic papers from Red River Papers and would like to use their icc profile that I downloaded. Can someone out there steer me in the right direction?

Thanks, I found several useful suggestions from that link. Tone where you move the profile out of the folder and then right click did the trick. Putting it into the folder (C:)>windows > System32 > spool > Drivers > Color also worked. Really frustrating Red River's tutorials are so outdated (Vista to windows 7). Oh well, problem solved, thanks.

Maybe this page at Red River was what you were looking for (as it does have Win 10 instructions):

I did view that tutorial and they mention that it is for Windows XP to Windows 7 in the video. I did not get the Install Profile when I right clicked the extracted profile. I did find out that if you move that file to another location and right click it, you then do get the Install Profile in the popup menu.

Try putting the profile directly in this folder. I'm a Mac user but I sent this to a friend and it worked for him. Windows profiles - 7 and later: Windows\system32\spool\drivers\color
