Color Profiles

Where do I put color profiles for Cyan to find them? (Ubuntu 20.04)

Cyan will search the following folders on Linux: /usr/share/color/icc /usr/local/share/color/icc $HOME/.color/icc $HOME/.config/Cyan/icc

Same Question for Windows? I've placed Cyan in C:\Program Files\Cyan . I made a shortcut on my desktop that runs it as administrator. The print shop I plan to use steered me to an ICC color profile that I've downloaded (GRACol2006_Coated1v2.icc). I have that downloaded but don't know where to place it so that Cyan finds it and presents it to me as an option in the pull-down menu selectors. Thank you.

I answered my own question by searching harder. I add it here in case anyone has the same knowledge deficiency that I did. Short answer is to "install" the ICC profile in the Windows Color Management Manager. A quick way to find it is to type "color management" in to the taskbar search window. The following weblink helped me: https://www.howtogeek.com/318723/how-to-find-and-install-a-color-profile-on-windows-for-a-more-accurate-monitor/ . No, I didn't do monitor calibration. But by adding the ICC profile that my print-shop wanted, I can export an image that will conform to what they expected from me. Cyan: Neat Program! Especially now that I know how to add profiles to windows!
