[Leica] Help! Lost Epson ICC profiles

Wed Nov 4 08:01:35 PST 2020

John,
I feel your pain.
I am locked in to Lightroom 6 and do not update the OS on my iMac.
Do you have a backup of the computer with the missing profiles?
Are there any online printing or paper user groups where you can get the
profiles?
If you succeed in retrieving the profiles, put them on multiple flash
drives and lock them in a safety deposit box!
Good luck!
Wayne
