After calibrating monitor what to do with .icm file in Photoshop?

I used MonacoEZcolor to calibrate my monitor and saved the profile as an ..icm file.
Do I have to tell Photoshop about this file? Or I don't have to do anything after calibration because Windows automatically loads it. Thanks.

No and no. I've never used EZcolor and I'm not sure what your OS is but basically you should bring up your display properties, go to color management and set (or load) your icm/icc profile there.

Photoshop (and other ICC aware software) automatically use the display default profile (to see or change the default profile, open the display properties window, then select Settings/Advanced/Color Management. Note that Windows and non-ICC aware programs simply ignore the display profile.

Another way to profile the monitor is to change the LUT table of the graphics card (Photoshop Adobe Gamma uses this method – it installs a resident program that is automatically loaded at system start-up). The advantage of this method is that the color adjustments are the same for all programs (ICC aware or not).

I never used MonacoEZcolor, so I don't know how it works.
