Well,

It has bee a while since I need to bring a new profile to softproof. I am planning to use Blurb.com and they use a HP5000 press.

I have downloaded their ICC profile which is named "HP5000SemimatteExp05"

However I have draw a blank in my mind and can not figure out how to load.

I have a Mac Pro using Leopard and Photoshop CS3. I placed the file on the library/colorsynch/profiles, but can not figure out how to make it active with PS.

Funny thing is that even the profiles I can see in PS, i can not find in the hard drive when I do a search.

I am really confused please help!

well I figure it out,

I need it to restart the apps, now I can see it.

I got to tell you, I yet to figure out where all the other profiles I see in the menu are located??

Profiles can be stored in those folders:

/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/
~/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/
/System/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/

and dont forget

the profile 'file name' and the 'profile name' may be different.

This can be confusing, I agree…
