ICC Profiles not showing up in PS

CRIKIE! Been dealing with this issue all summer, not finding a workaround to fix it. That being......first.....Lightroom Classic is finding all my ICC profiles along with all other applications....but not PS Classic 10. I am using an iMac running Catalina os. When I go to print and to select a print profile all I get are the standard PS profiles, Fuji, etc. I've done everything recommended on the web and all YouTube videos. I've gone through my users/library, the other library, the system/ library and see all the profiles. Deleted them from colorsync in each and printers (Canon Pro9000 Mark II) including in the show contents folder. I've re-added them in each and done restarts in each library.....thinking....they needed Catalina to authorize them....which it didn't damnit. I've had them all and/or just some in each library at once but no go. I am not going to reinstall Catalina to do a test that way if I can help it. So................what'cha think? Any other ideas. By the way, these are Canon drivers, Red River, Hanahamule (sp) etc. for my paper. And...I do not mind printing via LR..... just don't like tools that don't work.

    Where exactly in Photoshop are you expecting to see these profiles - maybe give us a screenshot and explanation?

    IF they are paper/printer profiles I'd excpect to see them in the print dialog listedf under "Photoshop Manages Color".

     

    Also, I suggest you find one of the profiles that’s not showing up in Photoshop - then double click it and it should open the Colorsync Utility 

    look at No. 1: 'desc' "Localised description strings"

    Is the 'ASCII' name the same as the name at the top of the window (the name at the top should be be the one you see listed in the finder)?

    In some ICC profiles [don't ask me why some paper and printer manufacturers do this] the finder name may not be the same as the internal name

    - it’s the internal name that shows up in Photoshop lists

    I hope this helps

    Provide screen captures of each product where you are attempting to access the profiles, label each product with proper names and exact versions, point out which profile you find in one of the products that you can't access in the other.

    Let's try this again, because you provided all kinds of screen captures (of the Canon Print Driver) which serve no purpose. 

    You say "ICC profiles not showing up in PS" so exactly which profile doesn't show up there, that (presubably?) shows up elsewhere? 

    What paper profile for the Canon are you trying to select in Photoshop's 'Print Dialog'?

    PS Classic is not a product. Photoshop 10 can't run in Catalina. What is your actual version of Photoshop, as shown  by ABOUT? ("Latest" is not a version either!)
