Colormunki profile location mac
« on: July 10, 2019, 11:42:32 am »

I´m trying to transfer a printer profile from one computer to another that i created with colormunki.
I can't find it anywhere. If i search for the name that I named the profile as, it does not show up, I use the profile regulary and it´s there in photoshop and in the colormunki software. It´s not in /Library/ColorSync/Profiles. Can it be named something else than what shows up in ps? In /Library/ColorSync/Profiles i have this strange BJ4MP230_SC5000_7000_9000._USFAP_a.icc that i don´t recognise, the one i`m looking for shows up as GMG_PROOF_NIC. Strange I feel kind of stupid over here.

thanks for your help i post again if I find it.
Best
Niclas

Tip: On Mac, the ColorSync utility will show all profiles and their location path.
Profiles have external names that you see in the Finder. But they also have an internal name which is seen when you select the profile in a software product. They two should match but sometimes don't. That may be why searching by the name you see shows nothing in a search.

Odd; could it have been set as an invisible file? Have you tried restarting the Mac? If you go into that folder and search by date, are there any visible profiles that are close to that name?

Sounds like it might be in your user library folder not your system library folder

When you are in the Finder, choose Go to Folder… (Go menu) and past "~/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/". It should open the folder mentioned by the ColorSync Utility.
