1  Mike's Software / Profile Prism / Re: Can't load/edit esiting ICM profile on: August 05, 2016, 06:00:56 PM
Thanks for the clarification. Unfortunately, the editing of existing profiles is the primary reason I bought PP -- I have a couple printer profiles developed with DataColor which I need to 'tweak' because some specific colors need more print ink saturation. Having to build a new profile, which then has no guarantee will match the DC profile I have been using, adds yet another layer of "unknown offsets" and another long set of open-loop adjustments. It is fine that the code has custom algorithms, but to disallow editing non-pp ICM file data seems absurd. I'd believed that ICM files are all built to CIE standards with, at least, core profile data which is transportable between print apps -- even if there were some non-portable header info that might get lost when porting. I can't claim to have read everything on the site about PP but I genuinely had the impression that I would be able to edit any ICM file data. This is a severe disappointment at best.

2  Mike's Software / Profile Prism / Can't load/edit esiting ICM profile on: August 04, 2016, 09:44:34 PM
Just installed and ran PP v8.43 on WinXP. All started up fine.
However, the only file type allowed is 'image', there is no 'Load profile' in the File menu as referenced in the Edit menu if I try the Edit Profile option.
Major flaw or is there some missing config setup?

My guess, is that Prism expects the 'first' profile to be first create by Prism, and only then edited. So, I tried copying an existing ICM file to the ~Pgm Files/Prism/ and ./Data folders, but Prism didn't find it. Maybe I need to create a 'user profile' folder there?
Seems there must be a way to get Prism to look at an existing ICM file for editing.....

Mike, Thanks for the reply w/link.
Nope, not an issue with spam filters. I've checked those numerous times and Mike's (just received) email was not flagged. If there's an e-mail issue, it is not one of that type .......
Just glad I now have the code to use.

After purchasing (7/30) Profile Prism, (and my CC charged) I expected to receive a download link (with the product cd etc, to arrive later. The web page states: "Profile Prism ships directly from our target manufacturer in Germany: we will send you an email outlining how to download the Profile Prism software." Nothing. So I emailed directly; twice. Nothing. So, I'm now here, looking for some kind of reply with an explanation. This was not the purchasing experience I expected. -Dave
