What instructions did the paper vendor supply for use with these papers?

Well, Brilliant supplied a 6 page direction sheet, which I'll spare you, Godfrey :-)--and I will go over it again, but often times I find these profiles are written for Photoshop specifically. I was told that I could use them in Lightroom, but even when told that, I quietly didn't believe it. I mean, I'm proceeding on the assumption that an ICC profile is written for a specific printer, paper type, & processing software. Am I wrong? Don't hesitate to say so :-).



There's always the possibility that the profiles are bad too.

Yes, I've heard this too--have you ever purchased custom made ICC profiles? If so, who did you use?



Profiles usually give more accurate and more consistent results, but that depends on how good they are and how they're used. I had horrible results with one or another Hahnemühle paper profiles until I read through the instructions in detail and found they were designed to be used with the printer driver set up completely differently than I expected it ought to be.

I am very eager to try Hahnemuhle--I'll be sure to read the directions :-)

Cheers, Christine
