An alternative area, for users without Admin privileges, is /Users//Library/ColorSync/Profiles. Profiles stored here are available only to the current user. The ColorSync Utility gives access to the details of individual profiles, shows gamut plots, can rename profiles, validates profile structure, among other useful tasks. • OSX 10.7.3 (Lion) and above: The system profile folder is hidden by default. Storing profiles in this folder is possible, but requires following the steps. • OSX 10.9 (Mavericks) and above: Depending on the printer profile, individual system configuration, and perhaps the phase of the moon, Adobe products (e.g. Photoshop, Lightroom - and particularly the Creative Cloud or CS6 versions) sometimes refuse to recognize profiles installed outside an Adobe-specific location. If a printer profile installed to either the system or per-user folder does not show up from within an Adobe product, move the profile to /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Profiles/Recommended. A reboot may be required for the profile to be visible from within the Adobe application. • All profiles should be stored in Windows system32 spool drivers color • The easiest way to install a profile in Windows Windows is to right click on the profile in Windows Explorer and select ' install profile'. Windows copies the profile to the correct directory automatically. • Important note: If you are replacing a profile in Windows, the above shortcut does not work. The profiles must be manually copied to the correct directory for the original profile to be replaced. Microsoft has listed this as a since Windows 98. • Windows 7 and Vista have a Control Panel applet that allows selecting default profiles for devices and manually installing profiles that are not already in the system profile directory. The functionality is limited, and a right-click automatic install or manually copying the profile to the system profile directory is much easier. Posted on Mar 9, 2014 in,| Over six months ago, I stopped using Adobe Photoshop and switched to GIMP for all my personal photography projects. This wasn’t the impossible task that most people believe it is. Users often claim that Photoshop is absolutely essential to their workflow. Across the internet, forum users are ridiculed for even suggesting that someone try to replace Photoshop with GIMP. But times have changed. Photoshop isn’t the killer app that it used to be. I spend about 90% of my time in Lightroom and only 10% in Photoshop. This is the same for many other professionals. We’ve all switched to the RAW format, so we use RAW photo editors most of the time. Photoshop is often just used for final touch ups. Photoshop isn’t the killer app that it used to be. ![]() I spend about 90% of my time in Lightroom and only 10% in Photoshop. For the reduced role that Photoshop now plays in many photographers’ workflows, GIMP is surprisingly capable. However, transitioning to GIMP can be frustrating because the keyboard shortcuts, tools and interface are different from Photoshop’s. The following setup tips can help make Photoshop users feel much more at home in GIMP. Easily Setup Photoshop Keyboard Shortcuts in GIMP By simply replacing one configuration file, you can have Photoshop’s keyboard shortcuts enabled in GIMP. This is by far, the most helpful thing I did to make my transition to GIMP easier. In fact, I am almost useless in GIMP without it. Since GIMP and Photoshop are not exactly the same, there are a few differences. You can view a list of all the keyboard shortcuts (requires Java). In Linux • Download the ps-menurc file from • In the folder ~/.gimp-2.8, rename the file “menurc” to “menurc-backup” • Rename the ps-menurc file you downloaded to “menurc” and move it to ~/.gimp-2.8 • Relaunch GIMP for the changes to take effect In Mac OS X You can’t view hidden files by default in newer versions of Mac OS X. So you first need to make the ~/Library folder visible.

Install a ‘Layer From Current Selection’ Replacement In Photoshop, CTRL+J can be used for more than just duplicating the current layer, it can make a new layer from the current selection. This is a really handy tool that I use very often in Photoshop. You can add the same function to GIMP’s Layer menu with a plugin called Layer via Copy/Cut. • Install the plugin Layer via Copy/Cut plugin: • With your current layer active, make a selection • In the main menu choose: Layer => Layer via Copy • Your selection will be copied to a new layer *Combining the ‘Layer via Copy’ feature with layer masks is a great way to create composite images in GIMP. The two can also be a capable (but less efficient) replacement to the patch tool in Photoshop.
