I have found the Print module in Lightroom to be nothing short of amazing. Before Lightroom, I would save the edited images, from Photoshop or Gimp, as jepgs for each size I wanted to print. This created a lot of extra files to keep track of and a lot of wasted disk space. I am now able to print directly from the raw file letting Lightroom scale the print to fit the selected template. There is a lot of information on how to print from Lightroom and I am far from an expert and suggest you check out Lightroom The Missing FAQ by Victoria Bampton and various YouTube videos for more information.

What I want to talk about is how to set up Lightroom’s printing Color Management with the Canon Pixma Pro 100 in Widows 10. I want Lightroom to due my color management and not have the printer do the color management. The biggest problem I had was figuring out how to have Lightroom manage the the color and not have color profiles applied twice. The first thing I did was to install the XPS driver from Canon which includes a number of paper profiles. Canon also has additional profiles available for download.

When you get to the print module the first thing to do is click on the Page Setup button located at the bottom of the left panel. This will open the Print Setup window. In this window select your paper size, source and orientation. Then click on Properties to open the next window.

The Properties window should to the Quick Setup tab (if not select it). Here you want to check the Color/Intensity Manual Adjustment box.

Select the Main tab, check the Manual button and click on Set.

This will take you to the Manual Color Adjustment window and in the Matching tab click None. Click OK three times to exit Page Setup.

When you are ready to print, in the right panel under Print Job in Color Management select your paper profile from the Profile drop down list .

Lightroom is now doing the color management for your printing and the profile is only being applied once.

I hope this helps you if you have been trying to figure out how to turn off Canon’s color management so that Lightroom can handle it.
