Hi all, I'm on a Windows 10, 64-bit machine and running Version 1.7.3.481 of Affinity Photo. The "Proof Profile" list in the Soft Proof adjustment continues to list icc files that have been deleted from C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\color. Here's a screen grab: You'll see that there is only one "PICTO_Lambda (...)" file in the color folder (...Satine_5.icc) in Windows Explorer, but there are three in the Proof Profile list in the Soft Proof adjustment (...Brillant_3.icc, ...Satine_3.icc and Satine_5.ICC (the extension presenting oddly in capital letters), this latter being the one in the color folder). Indeed, I had manually deleted the ..Brillant_3.icc, and ...Satine_3.icc profiles from the color folder because they were outdated. But, Affinity keeps showing them to me, which creates quite a bit of confusion. Is there a way to get Affinity to update the Proof Profile list to what is actually in the color folder? Thanks a million and happy retouching to all!

I created some custom profiles for my Canon iP6700D, using the Profile Prism app, for printing with Lightroom under Windows 10. I put the ICC file C\windows\system32\spool\drivers\color...with all the other Windows device profile files. I'm relatively new to Affinity photo, had it only a few months. When I print from Photo, I can't find the printer profiles I created and used in Lightroom, in the drop down lists. I also put the profiles in the Appdata\affinity\...\profiles folder (just in case), but still they don't show. When I do a reverse search e.g. in the drop down list in Photo|Edit|Print|Color Management, I see "Canon 6700 Glossy Lightroom", but I can't find it on either my C: or D: drives. I did a full search for all "*.IC*" files, and didn't find the "Canon 6700 Glossy Lightroom" string. Where does the Affinity drop down profile list come from and/or how do I get profiles into the list that aren't their now? Thanks for the help (and I think Affinity Photo is an excellent app...a real competitor for PS at a reasonable price).
