Title: Print to File - ProPhoto RGB
Post by: Martin van Gog on February 17, 2019, 02:41:58 PM
I want to print images to Tiff-files. So I can send them to a professional lab-service. I would like to sent them in a 'Prophoto RGB' colour space. In: File-> Printer Setup -> Step 2: Choose output format - sharpening level and colorspace, there are 2 (two) 'Quick' choices; a: sRGB and b: Adobe. There is a third option; 'browse', That opens the folder: C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\color...

There are my printer\paper combinations *.ICC's and the native Adobe colorspace's, for example; Coated FOGRA39 (ISO 12647-2.2004) and another long list, but no ProPhoto RGB.

Where can I find that ICC on a WIN !0, 64 bit, and how to configure it in the above standing step 2 of Printer Setup.

With regards, Martin

Almere, the Netherlands.

You need to select "All" in the "Show Profiles of Type" drop-down at the bottom of the window.
See attached screen shot.

Just a warning, be careful sending Prophoto images, most printers can't handle them properly. Check with them first, if they don't know what you are talking about then send everything in sRGB.

Dear Brian,
The lab expressly asks for the 'ProPhoto color space'.
