PSP X5 not recognising newly installed ICC profiles

Post by PentaxUser »

A month ago I successfully installed 3 ICC profiles from a paper manufacturer and got them recognised by PSP X5. I now have 4 more profiles and have installed them but they are not recognised completely by PSP. If I open the Color Management box and click Basic Color Management, with Rending Intent 'Pictures', the printer profiles list in the dropdown shows only the three original profiles (plus a lot supplied by Canon for the MG650 printer concerned). If I select Proofing, the Emulated device profile dropdown list shows all 7 profiles (plus the Canon ones), so PSP is clearly to some extent aware of the new profiles.

I cannot remember exactly how I achieved the inclusion of my original three in the list, but I do have the printer concerned as the default primary printer, so cannot see that this is a problem. The profiles are recognised in the other software that I use, so they are definitely correctly installed.

Any advice would be very welcome.

I have found the rather long-winded solution myself:

1. Go to Control Panel
2. Select Devices and Printers
3. Select the appropriate printer and right click.
4. Select ‘Open’
5. Click on ‘Display Printer Properties’
6. Select the appropriate printer name and click OK.
7. Select the Color Management tab and click on the Color Management button.
8. Select the appropriate device (again as monitors will also be listed!).
9. Check that ‘Use my settings for this device’ is ticked and that the Profile selection in Manual.
10. Click on Add.
11. Select the new profiles from the list of ICC profiles and click on OK.
12. Close this all down and the new profiles will appear in PaintShop Pro X5.

In all other software, simply installing the profiles does the trick. Trust PSP not to follow the norm. I hope this helps anyone else who might have a problem installing paper suppliers' ICC files.
