  Profiles as from Magne Nilsen, or home made profiles, can be used with CO4. However, they don’t show up as expected like they did with CO3.x when installed in the default profiles folder. This is for two reasons. First, CO4 has its own profile folder and second, CO4 has its own naming schema for profiles. Both constraints are easily met with the instructions below.
  
  First, rename the file according to naming conventions used by CO4. In short, the file name must start with the camera model name as CO4 uses for its own profile for the camera. For example, for the Canon 5D it starts with CanonEOS5D- and for the Leica M8 with LeicaM8-. Don’t forget the dash! Tip: save a copy of the renamed profiles because you will need to install it again when re-installing or updating the program.
  
  Next, copy the profile files to the following folder: <volume>/Applications/Capture One/Contents/Resources/Profiles/Input. Note that to open the Contents subfolder, Ctrl+click on the Capture One object and select ‘Show Package Contents’. Restart CO4 and the profile(s) show up behind the camera name in the ICC Profile list.
  
  ICC profiles in the /Library/ColorSync/Profiles folder can be used from within CO4 as well. In the pull-down list of ICC Profiles on the Quick tool tab, select Other. If this option is not available, expand it with Show All.
  You can also use ~/Library/ColorSync/Profiles (Library in your home folder). This is where CO4 Pro’s Color Editor stores custom profiles.
