GRACol2006 Color Profile not showing in Affinity Designer Mac

[mnsbrh]

I am currently trying to create a file with GRACol2006 Coated color profile.

I installed the color profile from the ICC website: https://www.color.org/registry/GRACoL2006_Coated1v2.xalter

I am working on a Mac and tried installing in those location:

~/library/colorsync/profiles

/library/colorsync/profiles

The profile shows in the colorsync app of macOS, but it won't show in Affinity Designer. Not even after restarting the app or restarting the system.

What is wrong?

Hiyai @mnsbrh and welcome!

I have that profile installed in

/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Profiles/Recommended

And it's available in Affinity Designer:

You might also want to try it in 

/System/Library/Colorsync/Profiles/ 

As I have a few .icc profiles in there that are also available to Designer.

Hope it helps!

We're aware of an issue with ICC profiles and users of macOS Big Sur, see the below FAQ article for more information.

@Lee D Thanks for that link. This was exactly the issue and with the workaround it works (copying the ICC profile to  ~/Library/Containers/Affinity Designer/Data/Library/Application Support/profiles/)
