In my new Photoshop and Indesign ÇS3, my color management isn't working.

When I click on File > Print > Color Management, that popup window won't
open like it did in Photoshop CS2 (so I can choose Media Type, Photo
Realistic, 720 dpi, etcetera.)


I'm not sure what you are trying to do, but the 'pop up' you are talking
about isn't part of Photoshop and never was. What you describe is the
dialog of your printer driver, which it comes up after you pressed the
'Print' button in Photoshop.


I tried downloading an installing some ICC color profiles from the Epson
Web site that are compatible with the printer (an Epson R2400 inkjet),
but I still can't get access to that Color Management popup, even after
restarting.

I installed the profiles in Applicattions and when that didn't work, in
my hard drive folder, as I've done before.


Profiles shouldn't be installed in the Applications folder and also not
in the root of your hard drive. You should put them in
Home/Library/ColorSync/Profiles folder.

Thanks, Johan.

What do you mean by 'Home'? People keep referring to 'Home", but
I don't have a folder in my Sidebar called 'Home' and I'm still not able
to print from Photoshop despite several downloados the Epson 2400
printer driver and ICC color profile for Velvet Fine Art paper.

(I had downloaded and installed the wrong driver. I reset the printing
system and downloaded and added the correct printer driver again, as
well as the ICC color profile for Velvet Fine Art paper from the Epson
Web site, but Velvet Fine Art is still one of three papers that's grayed
in the File > Print > Print > Proceed Print Settings > Media Type section.

I loaded the ICC color profiles into Macintosh HD > Library > Colorcync
Profiles and I can see the Velvet Fine Art profiles in there, but why
don't they show up in Photoshop?

Home is your user folder - in the finder it will be your username with a
little house symbol. Or go to your hardrive->users->"your login name" -
once again the active logon name will have little house symbol rather than a
folder one.
