Niclas Hallgren Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Hi, I've calibrated my scanner using the X-Rite i1 Studio and that resulted in a ICC profile. The profile is saved in the same place as my printer and display profiles (C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\color) but when I choose Document->Assign ICC profile in Affinity Photo 1.6.5.123 my printer and display profiles are there but not my scanner profile. When I do the same in Photoshop CC 2018 I get a very long list of profiles including my scanner profile, why? Best regards Nicke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Gabe Posted August 28, 2018 Staff Share Posted August 28, 2018 Hi @Niclas Hallgren , Welcome to the forums. Is that a CMYK or RGB profile? I'm asking because they would only show up in the correct colour space - CMYK profiles on CMYK documents, and RGB profiles in RGB documents. Your document is RGB by the looks of it. Thanks, Gabe.

walt.farrell Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 I notice that Nicke's scanner profile is a .icm file rather than .icc, and I recall other posts about the Affinity programs on Windows sometimes (always?) only seeing .icc profiles. Perhaps it's related to that?

Perhaps it's related to that? That's exactly what I thought. But you can see that the 2 other icm profiles show up correctly. Weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niclas Hallgren Posted August 28, 2018 Author Share Posted August 28, 2018 Thank you for your answers, the profile is RGB as the image. All of my other X-Rite made profiles do appear on the list even if they are .icm files. So still no explanation to why they do not appear...

Staff Gabe Posted August 29, 2018 Staff Share Posted August 29, 2018 Thank you. It seems to be invalid. The PCS for RGB should be XYZ and not LAB. LAB is used for CMYK. Also, you're missing the CMM type which is necessary for a valid ICC. I'm not sure how you made it to work in PS, but I get an error message: You would have to re-build your ICC profile and try again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niclas Hallgren Posted August 29, 2018 Author Share Posted August 29, 2018 Strange, I made a new profile and it looks the same (in ICC Profile Inspector). I'm now waiting for an answer from X-Rite... In which version of Photoshop did you try to use the profile? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Gabe Posted August 29, 2018 Staff Share Posted August 29, 2018 That was on the latest PS CC 19.1.6 20180808.r.398 2018/08/08: 1185588 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
