I'm trying to get profiles from the Colorburst Rip to show up in Photoshop CS4 or 5 to softproof. They are made as 6 color and so far I have not been able to have them read by PS. Does anyone know if this possible or am I out of luck as far as softproofing goes. The rip is running an Epson GS6000 thru a pc but they are working on Macs and then sending the files to the pc.
Why are your profiles *6-color* profiles instead of the usual CMYK profiles for ColorBurst and the GS6000? That's likely the problem as I don't believe PS is going to handle a multi-channel profile without a plug-in designed to add that capability.
Even in the case of the 11-12 ink Epson 7900/9900 printers, ColorBurst (and most RIPs) will still treat it as a "CMYK" device. (the conversion from CMYK to CcMmYKkkRGB is handled at the driver/device level just like a standard print driver will do the same from RGB).
If you've got an "HM" mode for the GS6000 via ColorBurst, use that and you'll have a nice CMYK profile that you can use in Photoshop. Only catch is, as I'm sure you've already discovered, is that you'll need to place a copy of the profile from ColorBurst's default location to a place where Photoshop will have access to the profile.
