I have viewed many videos and read much literature to no avail. Any ideas would be appreciated.

    I think solved it. Uncheck the "include display profiles" box. Your profile doesn't include a display profile.

    I also started having trouble with this recently, after upgrading to Windows 8. Which OS are you using?

    I installed (RGB) ICC profiles in windows, but they weren't visible in the Lightroom shortlist at all. I eventually worked around the issue by copying the profile file into a specific lightroom subfolder (after which they appeared in Lightroom to be available for soft proofing). I forgot which folder that was, not near my photo machine at the moment.

    Not sure about Win 8 as I don't use it, but in the older versions, just right click on the profile and select Install Profile. Even easier than installing on a Mac!

      Yes, that's exactly what I did to install the profile in Win 8 as well, but it did not show up in Lightroom for soft proofing.

      One doesn't add icc profiles to Lr4.

      Perhaps if you would clarify what you're trying to accomplish, or why you think you need to "add icc profiles to Lr", somebody could be of more help.

      I watched a video from an adobe lightroom expert (Julianne Kost) that showed how to select specific printer profiles from the color management > profile > other window. There is a check box to include display profiles. On the video the speaker was able to choose from a number of printer icc profiles. The claim is that a properly calibrated monitror and the proper printer profile, the printed image would be very close to that viewed on the monitor. I have spoken with professional printing shops and they provide icc profiles to use when sending images for processing on their equipment. This would suggest that there is a way to add specific printer icc profiles to the selection screen. Am I simply misunderstanding or have I been misinformed.

      Ah, for printing - right. I don't print from Lightroom, so somebody else will be more qualified to help.
