Paper specific ICC profiles for printing

Post by AvailableLight »

Where in PW8 do I indicate the correct ICC profile for a specific paper when I'm printing?
I see all my ICC profiles for each paper when I select Save Profile As... in the File menu.
I used to set the ICC profile for a paper in the Print Dialog for PW7, but I don't see that choice in PW8.
In Color Management I have:
RGB Working Color Space: Adobe RGB
RGB Assumed Camera Profile: Adobe RGB
Set Monitor Profile from System settings
Proofing profile: None
Many thanks for your help! I'm really enjoying PW8, and will love it even more once I fully figure out how to print.

You should be able to select a Custom Profile at the bottom of PWP's Print Dialog Box. If the Custom Profile control does not show up, check that color management is enabled. If the control shows up but not the profiles, check that they are installed in the system color folder.

Thanks! Got all the color management settings correct, but they don't work unless enabled; duh!
