Hi there, I cant get my old Epson Icc profiles to download from their ICC site. Only the Legacy edition. When I copy and paste from my Contents/Resources folder it loads right up in the print settings in Photoshop however it wont let me go any further within the print settings box (this shows my settings such as layout, color matching etc.). Why are my old Icc profiles not working anymore? Ughhh! any help here is appreciated!!!!! Thank you! 

-Mike

 

PS my other ICC files load up just fine btw--just Epson wont!

Also I have already tried unintalling everything and reinstalling including my - then + printer of choice in printing preferences.

Correct answer Mike Shanahan

thanks after trying everything in the book -Im pretty sure my 2013 macbook air was just outdated enough that it wasnt reading the code correctly to load properly. I went ahead and bought a newer version and no more problems. Sometimes you just have to upgrade! haha thanks!!!! -Mike

    Missing profiles may be due to where the Epson drivers install the ICC profiles and how. Epson should be placing the profiles in the path below, which ends up being deep inside a 'package' and difficult to get to:
    /Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter2/ICCProfiles/

    IF you see a folder named ICCProfiles and open it, you'll see one or more items, the names will vary depending on the printer. You may have to try opening the following package to inspect the contents for the actual ICC profiles. Because this is a package, you need to use the contextual menu option (Control Click) to Select "Show Package Contents" and you should see a list of all the ICC profiles inside that package. Copy or move them on your Mac to the folder where most of the other profiles reside:
    /Users/~/Library/ColorSync/Profiles
    Quit the Adobe product, restart it, they should now show up.

    Also just for your info they are loaded up in: System/Library/Colorsync/Profiles

    theres no debate about where they are-they loaded into Photoshop just not usable. what the hell... i thought maybe the files themselves might not be usable from the source but it seems to be correct.
