Question

Exporting images from Lightroom Classic with ICC profiles on Windows 10

Hi All,

 

I have been sent some ICC profiles by a client to export images ready for print. 

I have installed the ICC files and they are showing up in the windoes32 colour profile folder but lightroom isn't recognising them anywhere. 

In the export dialog box, when i select 'Colour Space' > 'Other', i don't see them show up, even when i select 'Include Display Profiles'. 

 

Am i missing something obvious here?

    Lightroom does not support CMYK based image export. What you could do is export them in RGB, and then use Photoshop to convert them to CMYK with the profile provided. You will probably have to write an action to automate that if you don't want to have to do it manually.

      First of all, these ICC-profiles aren't display profiles but printer profiles, so 'Include Display Profiles' is obviously not going to help. Check the following: Printer profiles can be RGB-based or CMYK based. Lightroom only supports RGB based profiles, however.

        Ah yes the client does want the images in CMYK, is that not possible with Lightroom?

        If not, what is the best way to export roughly 200 images with the correct colour profile for the client?

        Yes you're absolutely right it's Lightroom Classic! I'm still used to it being Lightroom CC but i'm on about the desktop version, Lightroom Classic

        Since there is NO LR CC (it is either Lightroom (NO CC in the name), the Cloud Centtric version, or LR Classic the traditional Desktop version) which Exact version are you referring to?
