Spyder Pro question

wrote in message

I created a profile for my monitor with The Sypder2PRO 2.3.2 software and hardware.

The software claimed that photoshop would automatically use the profile.
How do I confirm that in photoshop? The new profile is an option in the working space dropdown, but I do not think I want to use it there.
Confused newbie…

Thanks,

You were very nearly correct.

Go to Edit > Colour Settings > Working Space then scroll up above the Working Space Profiles.

You should see an entry "Monitor Profile – your Spydered Profile"

That is what Photoshop is using.

If you select "Color management Off", you’ll likely default to a monitor profile. But if you start with the default position of US prepress, the working space goes to aRGB.

I’ve been under the impression that some icc profiles were for the hardware, and the sRGB, a RGB, Prophoto, etc. were color spaces for the image, and other profiles were for paper and printer combo’s.

Put another way, I set my monitor to my calibrated [icc Spyder] profile, so that every application displays "under it", including, of course, PS, but you don’t select that profile when using PS color management dialogues.

I should have said.

After reading which profile is being used as the Monitor Profile, go back and reselect your correct Working Space Profile, probably Adobe RGB.

Under Working Spaces, clicking on the RGB dropdown, I see my Spyder profile listed as "Monitor RGB", which sounds correct.

Right now the selection (not set by me) for Working Spaces — RGB is sRGB IEC61966-2.1.

I believe you are saying I should change that to Adobe RGB (1998)

I’d leave it at sRGB if most of your printing is done by other than very high end printing outfits. If you print mostly at home, or at custom labs, aRGB is a bit wider gamut, and hence a bit better.

BTW, did you (or Roy) see my post earlier?

Hi.

I just assumed, probably a stupid thing to do, that because he was interested in CM, he would probably be printing for himself. Hence my suggestion to use Adobe RGB.

I was really concerned that after reading my post he might switch his Working Space to his Monitor Profile. I just wanted to make sure that he only used the Working Space "drop down" to read which Monitor Profile was being used by PS.

There must be an easier way to find out which is being used, but I have not yet come across it.

One of these days I must take some sort of course on PS.

I’d sure like another one! You do awfully well with no training.

On my other post, I’d love if some guru came by and said, "Yasss, John-O, you’ve got that right." or "This is how it is….."

I am glad someone thinks so, but you are probably just being polite.

I do know enough about CM, to get my prints the way I want, but that was mostly through a lot of reading and trying. I am not convinced on the usefullness of courses, a few of Camera Club members have done courses, and I feel they know considerably less than me.

One in particular did a full time course, and is completely unable to re-size any file down to the size needed for our Web Site, even though there are instructions on the Web Site showing how to do it.

You wrote clearly enough, I just used the drop down for confirmation, and later to switch to aRDB.

This is the first one from you I have seen in this thread.

Is your newsreader set to read threaded? In any event, there’s a post sandwiched between two of Roy’s that I was hoping would help clarify.

Cheers and good luck!

I do not believe it made it to my server. I could search for it if I had a message ID, but I saved most of the posts in the thread, and did not see that one.

Thank you for the repost John, I had not read the group for a couple of weeks, and just saw it.

I did not select the Spyder profile in CS2, but CS2 did notice that it was the selected monitor profile, as seen in the dropdown for selecting working spaces.

Thanks again,
