Herpo Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Hi 🙂 I recently installed the latest version of Affinity Designer. A business partner needs a custom icc color profile - so I installed it as usual on Library/ColorSync/Profiles. Now the problem: It doesn't show up in Affinity .. I can do whatever I want but it is not working :-((((( Do you have any ideas or is it a Mac OS Big Sur / Affinity bug? Thank you for your help!! Chris ## I tried it on an older version (other computer - not Big Sur and not the latest version of affinity) and it worked fine ## Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Leigh Posted December 11, 2020 Staff Share Posted December 11, 2020 If you're using Affinity Photo go to File > Import ICC Profile to import your ICC profile into the app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best wishes und merry christmas days  Seems to be working fine here. I downloaded ISOcoated_v2_eci.icc from the above website and used File > Import ICC Profile and it was copied to /Users/{USERNAME}/Library/Application Support/Affinity Photo/profiles/. It was then available in the app when using CMYK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyjbell Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 (edited) tried to follow this instruction, but after downloading I am unable to find where to compete the next step. I have no option to File > import ICC Profile. any ideas?? Edited January 17, 2021 by andyjbell added screenshot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, you can use Finder to put ICC profile files in directory "~/Library/Application Support/Affinity Designer/profiles/". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyjbell Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 that would explain some of the issue. okay, now that I have found the menu for the application support, I should be expecting to see the folder for affinity, however there is nothing there. if I use finder to search for it, I come across the launch icon but no actual folder.  am I missing something?

andyjbell Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 after following another thread I have finally found the affinity folder and I think I have managed to place the icc profile within. I have attached the 3 screenshots showing the paths I had to take to find the folder. is this correct and will the issue now be resolved for now?

lepr Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Yes, that's exactly where I told you to go. If you had pressed shift+cmd+G in Finder then pasted the path (minus the double quotes) that I gave you, then you wouldn't have wandered into a wrong Library directory.
