Many of the Develop Persona adjustments appear to be duplicated in the Photo Persona therefore why make adjustmernts in the Develop Persona which are baked in when similar adjustments in the Photo Persona are non-destructive?

R C-R, Thanks for that - it seems to confirm my assumption about what is going on. Color management is certainly a confusing area for me, an area that I'm only just getting in to after receiving a disappointing print.

Stokerg, Thanks for that. Presumably this means that Zor.com have created a profile and called the file "Zor_ALU.icc" but that Affinity is "seeing" inside the profile and reading/listing "Oce Arizona..." from a line or header inside the file?

I've downloaded some icc profiles from an online printing company (Zor.com) and have installed them on my Windows 10 PC (Windows>System 32>spool>drivers>color). In Affinity Photo I have then used the File>Import ICC Profile option. However when I try to use the soft proof adjustment layer in Affinity Photo the profiles don't show. When I look at the profiles available for soft proofing, there are profiles available that aren't in my Windows folder and many in my Windows folder not available in Affinity Photo. In some cases the names are similar but not identical e.g. identical except for spaces added, capitals etc. Finally, there are some suspicious profiles available in Affinity Photo that look like the profiles I want but with different names e.g. I've downloaded "Zor_ALU.icc" for aluminium dibond and there is a profile in Affinity Photo "Oce Arizona 6170 Antalis Dibond Digital Quality Smooth.icc" which looks like the printer for this type of media. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong and how I can resolve the situation and where does Affinity Photo pick up its icc profiles/profile names from in soft proofing?
