Costco icc profiles...

General question hopefully someone will have an answer to.
Now that Costco has eliminated there in house printing where does one go to find their icc printer profiles. I can't find anything online about it. My last prints from them were flat and lifeless.

Dry Creek Photo had the profiles for the individual stores. The information I got is that the current profiles are found at www.profilemyphotos.com. There are three profiles which are determined by the size of the print. I've downloaded the profiles, but haven't tried them yet. I would be interested on how this works out for you.

That's what I'm looking for. Thanks.

So, to use the profile, do you embed the profile into the image before sending the image file to Costco?

Dry Creek still has the profiles. Link is for Washington state but other states links on the left.

Those profiles were for the individual stores that did their own processing. Costco closed the processing in those stores and now only does it online through a central location.

When you Export an image in LR, you can select the color profile you want to use.

Yes that’s the idea. Not very happy with some of my results recently so I’m experimenting a little.

You are correct and I apologize for posting incorrect info. I contacted Costco Photo Customer Service and was directed to the www.profilemyphotos.com website as others have mentioned. They did confirm that they are using the Fuji printers for the photos and the Epson for the posters. So, why the original profiles don't work I don't know. The price is right so I guess that making some prints is the best way to test it out.

I just noticed your post, it is now February 2022. Just wondering if you've had a chance to download the profiles from "profilemyphotos.com and if so were you happy? Also I notice they give instructions on how to use the profiles in photoshop I'm wondering if anyone knows how to use them in lightroom?
