This problem has reappeared in my printing process so I thought I would reach out to see if anyone can help/explain what is going on. To see the effect I am getting, I open a jpg image in ColorSync Utility, and select a Canon Pro Lustre profile.
In the action drop down (Match/Apply/Assign) I choose 'Apply Profile' and the image looks fine.
If I then select 'Assign Profile' the image comes out desaturated and flat.
It's the latter effect that I am getting when printing from Lightroom and Photoshop.
If I print from Canon's Professional Print Layout software, I get the 'Apply Profile' effect.
The problem manifests itself originally with Fotospeed papers/profiles, but in the ColorSync utility it doesn't seem to matter which profile you test, the difference between Apply/Assign remains.
Apart from 'use Canon's software', any thoughts on this?
