William apologies for late answer, my prodig mail was blocked ICC Profiles have both an internal and external name, the internal name is usually the same [or near] but some are quite different. If you try changing the external name, then looking in software you'll see that the internal name is unchanged. There are applications [and applescripts] to alter the internal name to match a new external.
However: Photoshop lists profiles in groups, by which folder they are in [and by type], <recommended> is at the top of the list. Why not do a <find> for, say <Adobe RGB>, having seen where that is you can put your other favourites there too. Renaming is a really easy way to totally mess up your profiles unless you have an application like Chromix Colorthink (link at http://www.neilbarstow.co.uk/profilgear.html ) which will not only show you both internal and external names but allow you to manage profiles in many ways, including renaming. Take a look, for anyone interested in profiles and colourspaces it's a really great learning tool. 7/10/03 5:01 pm William Chitham <will-at-black-door.co.uk> wrote >Dear List, > >I want to organise the way output profiles are listed in PS.
