I’m confused and I’ve spent quite a bit of time trying to figure this out. See if any of you can explain this to me. Here goes….
I converted a color image to black and white in photoshop. I embedded the Dot Gain 20% profile into the file. After all the editing, I decided I wanted to make it my Desktop wallpaper. The profile I have associated with my monitor is sRBG (In Photoshop, my color settings are set to Adobe RGB and Dot Gain 20% for the RGB and Gray work spaces). Suffice to say that the wallpaper image is darker than the image I see in Photoshop. I wanted the wallpaper image to appear as it does in Photoshop. I tried to solve this by using the "Proof Setup" option under the View menu. I went to "Custom" and in the "Device to Simulate" box I found that Apple RGB simulated Dot Gain 20% pretty closely (I kept "Preserve RGB Numbers" checked). I then went to the Color Management settings for Windows and made Apple RGB the default profile. This did not work. The wallpaper image stayed the exact same plus when I opened the image in Photoshop, it was darker (it looked like the wallpaper image). I guess I’m missing something.
Also… when the monitor profile is back to sRGB, I can bring up the image in Photoshop with the embedded Dot Gain 20% profile and go to "View" – "Proof Setup"- "Monitor RGB" and the image looks like the wallpaper image.
Can anybody make sense of this. I have to missing something, but my logic tells me that what I tried should have worked. Thankyou and sorry it is so long and probably confusing.
Thankyou- Will
