You need to add your icc profiles to the C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\color folder, then they will appear in the LR / PSE print dialogues. For LR you also need to add them in by selecting the print module, then profile and then other, and check the ones you want to use.

BTW, once you’re happy with the layout and printer settings, save it as a preset in LR and it rertains all settings including those you set in the printer’s dialogue.

thanks for your reply. I was away working abroad for a week .. another question .. how can I add paper profiles to LR.. I also have a 2100 and when I open the print screen either on Photoshop Elements or lightroom there seems to be no way to add profiles to whats embedded in the Print Screen

any comments on that

I will move up to Epson 3800 soon having sold some of my Contax 35mm stuff

regards and thanks again

No CS3 is not essential, 99% of your image workflow can be achieved in LR. CS3 just expands creativity.

I use an Epson 2100 (same as 2200 but European), Great printer. Superb colours, although a little slow compared to the latest offerings.
I use a Lyson continuous ink system and lyson paper with mine and it drives down the cost of use immensely. Although the initial outlay is ~£150.

BTW, LR does an excellent job on printing as you can save your setups as presets.

thanks for this info. I have to really take time to study all this stuff. Question, Is it absolutley necessary to have CS3 .. I have bought the LLVJ on Lightroom and they moved back and forward between LR and CS .. I am about to upgrade my PC, Monitor and printer to try and begin printing myself .. any inof you can give me would be helpful .. I have an Epson 2100 and it seems that this printer has very limited paper type options .. whereas M Rechmann in his videos seems to have a hundred different paper profiles

The default working colourspace for LR is ProPhotoRGB, so if you do everything in LR then these settings are good. If you output to CS3 or similar app then all you have to do is make sure these also use ProPhotoRGB colourspace.

If you don’t then you will see a marginal colour shift and the calibration will not be accurate.

Hope this helps.

I am completely new to Digital and i bought a 5D. I also use LR and found this preset quite good. What happens to the Adobe RGB settings or have you calculated that. As I say I am totally new to all this having used Contax 645 before and Velvia.
