Thanks for the link, E.J. Great information in the article.

Here's a link to a similar blog post I wrote some time ago: Making Fine Art Prints at Home - Tips for Novices.

Hope it's okay to share the link to my own blog post here. Thought it was relevant and that some folks might find the additional reference useful.

Thanks for the link E.J. - always good to reinforce old habits and perhaps learn a couple of new things.

In the Red River blog concerning color profiles and Windows they did not mention using Windows color management applet to register the profiles for the device type (display or printer) to make it available for a specific model.

Some applications will only read registered profiles.

great and really helpful tip but the query above is also my concern.. what to do with that Windows color management applet and how to make it available for specific models..

As I recall first step is to in the install tab register the profile after browsing to it in c:\win30a\system32\spool\drivers\color\ where it must be placed for Win XP and I imagine similar in Win 7. Once installed you can then select the devices tab, select displays, printers, or scanners, select the device in the list, and then add (from the registered list), remove, or set as default (I use manual mode) for Win to use. For color managed apps that use this list it now makes them available to the app list.

Now Photoshop Elements and PS I imagine show an open dialog box that looks in a few lists including registered profiles besides the profiles stored in Adobe designated folders. In opening that dialog box as I recall I could not scroll with the mouse through all of the choices but ended up using the keyboard vertical arrows. You just have to get in the correct section in that scroll list and Adobe furnishes quite a few standards like SWOP (web press offset), etc.

I print with QImage and it needs a registered profile.

The color applet I use is the extended one for XP which hopefully is still here:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download ... x?id=12714 (- amazing it is still there)

For Win 7 I found this thread:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/wind ... 8a184b6439

It look similar to the downloaded XP one.

Now it has been said on the default Win XP applet it can confuse multiple ports on a video card and I see that when I right click on the desktop, click properties, settings, advanced, then the Color Management tab. Even if I'm on monitor port 1 and have monitor 1 selected desktop it shows my calibrated profile for the monitor on the second port. ????

If your display card control panel (like NVidea) has a color management tab I believe it shows correctly there.

Hope this helps.
