On a Mac you would just open SysPrefs - display - color and select the profile of interest (or calibrate from there). You could also use your colour calibration widget and its s/w would save the new profile which in turn would be accessible as above (or set it itself).

My problem is that the colorimeter can't now save the profiles that the color management needs to use. Can't find a Win 10 guide, but the above may lead you into the appropriate rabbit hole. Been there, done that. Obligatory snide and superior Mac comment follows. If you MS users don't feel like being humiliated (again) you may stop reading here.

You could also use your colour calibration widget and its s/w would save the new profile which in turn would be accessible as above (or set it itself). It's supposed to work more or less like that in Windows also, and it would if the Spyder was able to save it's newly generated profile. -- Regards, Eric Stevens |

wrote: SaveProfileUsingICM It doesn't help if you spell the function name wrong. I agree, it doesn't. My apologies. My only excuse is that it was written in fine grey text on a charcoal background. I'm not an expert on this, but for what it's worth: 1) It seems to be trying to delete an old copy and running into a bug in the software. Maybe a dummy file of the same name would satisfy that. When all this started it was trying to delete an existing copy of Dell U2410-1.icm but no success. I tried renaming the profile it was trying to save to (say) Fred.icm and had no success with that either. 2) Could the ICM file be saved elsewhere and then just copied into the folder? I've got no access to or control over the software which determines where it is trying to save( C:\Windows\System32\Spool\drivers\color\... 3) Presumably you have a 64-bit version of the software? 32-bit that's 64-bit-unaware might try to save to System32 and fail. (Against all common sense, System32 is the 64-bit folder on Win64.) I've been running Spyder 4 (where the problem started) on 64 bit Windows for years with no problem. 4) If you think permissions are the issue you can "take ownership" of the folder and then give yourself permission. And/or start the program with elevated permissions. (right click option) I've done all that. "net user administrator /active:yes" only makes the real admin account visible at boot. You would then need to log in with that account to be a real admin. Understood. Administrator under Windows 7 is not a fully empowered Administrator unless you do as above. I quickly got fed up with that convoluted nonsense when I started to work with Win7 and ended up writing a simple program to *really* free up any file/folder: http://www.jsware.net/jsware/nt6fix.php5#restfix THat's interesting and useful, but I shouldn't have to resort to that. I'll hold off for the time being. It's free. You're welcome to it. If you're queasy about 3rd-party software look up CACLS and Takeown. Those are command line options that can do the same thing my software does -- just with more work. I *think* the same can be done manually but the restrictions mess is so convoluted I've never been able to quite figure that out for certain. Then there are the 'special' permissions, some of which are weird. I wonder about permissions if the software used to work. On the other hand, if you're enabling Windows Update without carefully checking exactly what each patch is doing then all bets are off. The information provided by Microsoft is usually obscurely brief. It seems very odd that the people writing the software have no ideas, but that may be a case for a 3rd-party factor. Those things can be very hard to track down because they're unexpected by nature. Though I suppose you could try killing any process related to Adobe, printer, etc before you do the operation. That wouldn't hurt. I'm just about at that stage. A problem is that running a calibration to get a file to save takes several minutes so the cycle is slow. Ron Hardin's idea of Process Explorer (sysinternals.com) is good in general, though if you're trying to write a file that doesn't exist it can hardly be locked by another process. I haven't tried yet and right now I have to go out and pick up my chain saw. :-) -- Regards, Eric Stevens |

The OS, be it Win or OSX is going to handle that for QT. I don't know whether it does or not. But it does handle images. It doesn't, and just as with PS or LR display/monitor color management still rests with the OS, not the applications. You don't install display/monitor profiles in any application. Your OS applies the calibration to the display. Your issue is that for some reason you are unable to save the calibration profiles you have created. At least that is what I get from what you have told us. That makes me think the issue lies with either your current OS installation or the calibration software, or both. Have you installed any fresh printer drivers? Nope. OK! ...and after the July 31 PS update, did you install the PS CC 2015 fix made available on August 5? Yes. But my problems started before July 31 and have continued to this day. I guess that rules out Adobe then. -- Regards, Savageduck |
