Papers similar to the ones for which there are curves will probably be able to be profiled in this same manner. For example, the 220 Kirkland glossy paper curve is very close to the Crane Silver Rag curve. It only took me 2 iterations to make the modifications I wanted, and most would have found the CraneSR curve, re-linearized for Kirkland paper, to be near perfect with no further modifications. Epson Ultra Premium Glossy Photo paper uses the Kirkland curve. Although re-linearizing with Create ICC-RGB is recommended.
1. RIGHT Click on the name of the file,
2. Click "Save Target As ...."
Your browser will probably show the file as an "*.htm" file.
3. CHANGE THE FILE EXTENSION to “*.icc” for ICCS and "*.acv" for curves by manually deleting the "htm" and typing in "icc" or "acv."
4. In the "Save as type" box (below the file name) change to "All Files" by hitting the down arrow at the right.
5. Save the file to the Desktop as a first step by pressing the "Desktop" button on the left and then the "Save" button.
6. A "Download Complete" box may open. Close this.
7. Finally, put the file in the correct folder. Photoshop looks for its curves in the Photoshop folder at first, but you can change this to any folder. ICCs are more restricted with respect to their proper placement. If you are not familiar with the placement of ICCs into the proper folder, see the note at the bottom of this page.
All posted curves and ICCs assume Eboni is installed.
220 & Epson Enhanced Matte:
Use Matte HW paper type for the above.
220 & Crane Silver Rag:
Use Ultra Premium Glossy Photo Paper type.
220 & PermaJet Fibre Gloss:
220_3D_PJ-FibrGloss_Lustr_LW-Warm-rgb.icc
220_3D_PJ-FibrGloss_Lustr_LW-Warm.acv
Use Premium Luster media type setting.
220 & Kirkland Glossy Photo paper:
Use Ultra Premium Glossy Photo Paper type.
For Ultra Premium Glossy Photo Paper, use the Kirkland curve. I recommend users linearize the paper with the Kirkland curve and Create ICC-RGB to get a perfect ramp.
Epson Premium Glossy Photo Paper -- Use the Crane SR curve and linearize for the best ramp.
Until I hear otherwise, I'm assuming all of the Epson Premium papers will print with one of the above curves and proper linearization.
Ilford Galerie Smooth Pearl -- Use Kirkland curve with Premium Luster paper type.
All posted curves and ICCs assume Eboni is installed.
2200 & Innova F-Type Gloss and Permajet Fibre Based Gloss.
The "LW-Warm" ICC & curve are based on tones used in the May-June 2006 LensWork Magazine, a publication I highly recommend to B&W photographers.
2200 & Hahnemuhle Photo Rag:
Use Enhance Matte paper type for all 2200 curves & ICCs.
2200 & PremierArt Fine Art Hot Press 205:
2200 & Crane Silver Rag:
The following ICC and curve are based on the tonal distribution of the Oriental Seagull darkroom paper, selenium toned.
2400 & Crane Silver Rag:
Use "Premium Semigloss" media type setting.
N-2 may have a better dmax.
Hahnemuhle Photo Rag:
Kirkland Pro Glossy Inkjet Paper:
Use Premium Luster media type setting in the driver.
Epson Enhanced Matte:
The "coolness" level simply continues the paper tone until the deep black, where Eboni sets the tone.
ICCs are put in the following Windows folder: c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\color\
I recommend you highlight and copy this c:\ ... \color path and make a folder shortcut on your desktop that allows you to simply drag the ICCs to the shortcut to put it into the correct folder location. This is the procedure to make such a folder shortcut.
1. Right click on the Desktop (anywhere on your computer monitor where no icon appears and when no program is running there.
2. On the menu that appears, highlight "New."
3. On the new menu that appears, click on "Shortcut."
4. In the space where it asks you to type in the location, copy & paste, or type in the full path:
c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\color\
5. Click on the Next button. "Color" should appear in the box. You might want to also add "ICCs" to this name so that it reads, "Color (ICCs)."
6. Press "Finish" and a folder icon should appear on your Desktop. This is a shortcut to the proper folder.
7. Simply drag the ICC icon that has been saved to the Desktop over to the Color (ICCs) shortcut folder icon. The ICC icon should be transfered to the proper folder.
(Note that if Photoshop Elements has already been opened, it will not "see" the new ICCs until the Color Settings box (Edit>Color settings) is opened and closed.)
Mac OS 9.x: Systems Folder/ColorSync Profiles
