I have downloaded a Blurb colour profile but when I try to import into Lightroom it is greyed out. I am on a Mac and all systems and software are up to date. Could anyone help?

Blurb color profiles are ICC-profiles. They are not the same type of profiles that you use in the develop module. You do not import icc-profiles into Lightroom. You install them in the appropriate place, and then you can use them for soft proofing and for printing.

Thank you. I reread the Blurb info and found I could install a simulation of the profile in Photoshop, and have done this. I must say I find it disappointing in terms of colour. Thank you for replying.
