I’m trying to work out the "right" way to handle color profiles in Photoshop and prepare for outside printing,
Win XP Pro and Photoshop 7
I’m using a Sony CRT – I have icm files for this monitor. Should I use the Sony icm for my color setting? And if so, can I just choose it in PS or do I have to load it beforehand?
What working space should I use?
I’m using tiff files I created by scanning 35mm negatives 24 bit and high resolution.
I open the file in PS
What color profile do I use while I’m working on the file?
Do I "assign" this color profile or do I "convert" to this color profile?
When I’m finished editing, do I "assign" or "convert" to srgb (which is what is wanted by the outside printer)?
After I do all this, sometimes I have a tiff file which is just under 1 gig – I can’t even fit this on a cd. How do I make it smaller (no more than 400mb) and lose the least detail etc?
Thanks for any and all recommendations.
