Hello all,
Here is a question that keeps getting asked, so my apologies for asking again but I haven’t found the answer yet.
Here is a description of the problem, images look like this: http://www20.brinkster.com/patrickp/EpsonDoc/PhotoDisc_test_ WithProfile.jpg
Instead of this:

I have a laptop with XP pro sp2. I’ve profiled my monitor using Pantone PhotoCal. I’ve put the monitor profile in windows Color Management. In the startup is PhotoCAL Startup’, which was put there automatically by Pantone. Adobe gamma is NOT in startup. In Photoshop with Color management turned on and AdobeRGB working space, the images look wrong (like PhotoDisc_test_WithProfile.jpg) if I turn off color management it looks fine. If I remove the monitor profile from windows color management it looks fine. If I use the monitor profile as my working space it looks fine.
Here is what I think is happening- the PhotoCAL startup makes its adjustments in the OS LUT when windows loads. When Photoshop loads it takes the profile in Windows Color Management and adjusts the system LUT (when PS CM is turned on). This is why I see the images the way I do.
So here is the simple question, what is the correct way to configure my system?
Thanks,
Patrick
