%ProgramFiles%\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop 2021\Plug-ins Select from -> ->, then install plug-in of Print Studio Pro in the following folder: Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic 8.x / 9.x / 10.x The following applications have been added as an applicable associated application. Digital Photo Professional.- Windows 11 has been added as a supported OS. Canon also has it for the canon raw editing software that you can get if you own a Canon SLR like the 70D or 6D. Very useful if you are not matching your screen.Īnd you do not need Adobe software to use the canon plugin. You can print test pages that a matrixes for different color or brightness\contrast adjustment an a zoomed in part of your image. To see print quality as a number, you have to hit the custom print quality bottom. Hint, the numbers in the ICC profiles for canon papers are the print quality. With the plugin, I only needed to change from the defaults when it was obvious to do so (like activating an ICC for paper that I have, paper size). And clearly the accuracy of the ICC files for paper is an important, so be sure whatever program you use can apply ICC profiles. Sorry I have not tried any other paper yet. Close enough that I think I can make test prints on the cheaper easier to buy paper, before making big prints on the pro luster.

Really very close results with the plugin. I used the ICC for the luster and the "pro mode" for the glossy 2.

The two papers that I have used are Canon pro luster and Canon pro glossy 2? (The later you can buy at Wallmart, I can only get the pro luster online).

Also, strangely the print with the plugin looks nearly like my screen, which I have not even calibrated (just lucky likely). Seems like the plugin has a lower learning curve. I'm sure it can be done with these software packages, just not sure how. I'm not even trying to match the screen yet. I could never got lightroom, ON1 raw, Gimp or Affinity, to produce a similar print on two different canon papers. At least if you are using Canon ink and paper.
I agree completely with those that recommend using Print Studio Pro plugin.
