Converting Legacy Presets

Before you use the software, we recommend converting your .ptf presets from a previous version of the software to the new output profile format (.icc). Once you convert the old presets, each new output profile will retain the same name as its old preset counterpart and have an .icc file extension.

Once you convert the legacy presets, the converted output profiles are automatically sorted by device setup in the ICCProfile folder.

The converted presets are saved to a new location and will not replace the old presets.

To convert your old presets to the new format:

  1. Do one of the following:
  2. In the new software, open the Color Profiler:
  3. From the Color Profiler main window, click the Convert Legacy Preset button.
  4. To add presets to be converted, click the Add Presets button.

    The Preset Converter only accepts .ptf files.

  5. Navigate to the folder where you exported the presets.

    To convert presets from different devices at the same time, click the Add Presets button and navigate to different folders as many times as needed.

  6. Click Convert to convert the selected presets to the new format.
  7. The new location of the converted presets is displayed in the Preset Converter window.

    The converted output profiles are automatically sorted by device setup in the ICCProfile folder.
