Install a color profile
Color profiles are often installed when a device is added to your system. The accuracy of these profiles (often called
generic profiles or canned profiles) varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. You can also obtain profiles from a
custom profile service, download profiles from the web, or create custom profiles using professional profiling
equipment.
1. To install a color profile, copy it to one of the following locations:
• Windows 7, 8: \Windows\system32\spool\drivers\color
• Mac OS: /Library/ColorSync/Profiles or /Users/[user name]/Library/ColorSync/Profiles
Tip: By default on Mac OS 10.7 (Lion), the user Library folder is hidden. If you don’t see it in the Finder, press Option
and click the Go menu. Then, choose Library. See
Access hidden user library files | Mac OS 10.7 and later.
2. Restart Lightroom.
