Missing profiles in Lightroom Classic

Hi,

I newly upgraded to Mac Studio running Monterey OS 12.5. Profiles are stored in Color Sync folder for both the root HD and the user. The printer is Epson 3880. All profiles, including canned and custom appear and are available in the Photoshop print dialog. However, only the canned profiles appear and are availble in Lightroom. I've tried renaming them and have deleted and reinstalled the printer. Nothing helps. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Oh, and the profile doesn't show up in Apple's Preview (Assign Profile) and it doesn't show up in Graphic's Converter which is ICC aware.

The bottom line at this point; it's the profile.

Can the OP rebuild it as a v4 profile?

I showed that settings area in i1P. If he made the first profile surely he can have another try with a V2 icc spec?

I hope this helps neil barstow, colourmanagement net :: adobe forum volunteer google me "neil barstow colourmanagement" for lots of free articles on colour management

ICC profiles have an internal name (generally use for in-application display) and an external name (that’s the one you see in a folder), if you rename them you're only affecting the external name - then the new name does not show up in applications.

Many third-party media profiles have different internal names, don't ask me why!

I suggest you open a missing profile (just one) in the colorsync utility,

check the internal name then look for that name in Photoshop

I renamed this profile in the finder to: '39-47 renamed.icc',

You can see that in the header of the utility below,

you can also see in "desc' that the internal name is still "39-47.icc":

I hope this helps

Good point about the names. But I highly suspect it's something else as the OP sees the profiles in Photoshop but not LR which is a head-scratcher. I've heard of issues with missing profiles in the past, but they were missing in all Adobe products if memory serves me.

One other idea came to mind; is there any difference with the check box on and off (Toggle)?

Has Full Disk Access been granted to Lightroom Classic? I’m not sure that is a correct answer; I’m trying to think of what could block printer profiles from being seen by Lightroom Classic.

Because those profiles should work fine…an hour ago I printed from Lightroom Classic 11.4.1 in macOS 12.5 Monterey on Apple Silicon, on my Epson 3880 using the Epson Premium Luster profile.

Adobe products use their own profiles first from here:

Make sure your ColorSync Profiles folder is Aliased here and Lightroom will see it after restarting.

The OP isn't asking about Adobe's 'own' profiles Bob. He's asking about output profiles from ColorMunki he's built that don't show up only in LR.

The OP also told us, he can see the profiles in Photoshop. Something is wonky with the profiles (maybe V4 spec), damaged or not playing nice with LR which is the issue or it's LR itself: Maybe reinstalling LR will fix this, maybe something as simple as a preference reset will fix this. But its a LR issue. Photoshop isn't affected.

To matthewk2328451; you can also try rolling back a version or three and see what happens. In Adobe Creative Cloud, select LR, click on the three dots and select "Other Versions".
