Renaming Profiles that are in Clusters on a Mac

My friend with a PC can rename profile groups he's made and put into clusters. On my Mac i was able to rename profile groups that are not in a cluster but once I do rename them and put them in a cluster I can't rename them and therefor can't take them out of the cluster if I want. Is there a way to rename a profile group once it's in a cluster? Right clicking opens the dialogue box but once in a cluster the option to rename the profile group isn't showing as an option

Right-click on the profile and hold down the Option key while you choose 'Rename Profile'. That will give you a larger dialog where the cluster is also one of the options.

Thanks Johan.  That works in the Windows version, but you don't get the larger dialog in the Mac version.

 

I suspect I will have to put in a request to have the Mac version updated (how do I do that?) but with Big Sur coming out, that might take a while!

You do get the larger version on a Mac too. In fact, I wrote it for a Mac because you said you have a Mac. Windows does not have an Option key (it's Alt on Windows). I work on a Mac and here's the screenshot of what I get. In case you do not know what the Option key is: on your keyboard there are three keys on both sides of the space bar. Seen from the space bar these are Cmd, Option, Ctrl.

Hi

In Photoshop, you can put your layers into groups. I'm confused by the terms "profile groups" and "clusters" in Photoshop. What do you mean? Can you show the dialog box you refer to?

If you don't know what profiles and profile groups and clusters are you are probably better off. It would take a bit of writing to explain.

Huh? Like Jane, I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

 

Profiles in normal Photoshop terminology means either icc profiles or camera profiles in ACR. But clusters? Grouping?

 

Now that you're here and asking this question, perhaps you could just explain what you mean?

I am interested in this also.

I will post here if I ever find out. I am pretty sure that for some reason you can do it with a PC but not a Mac
