Your images should be in a universal, neutral balanced color space like 
AdobeRGB. Your monitor profile is used only for display purposes, not image 
space purposes. So be sure that it is being used by Photoshop (under 
ColorSettings click on RGB, and see that MonitorRGB-"xxxx" has you correct 
monitor profile listed in the "xxxx" section, then be sure you have reset the 
RGbB space to AdobeRGB). The only other place you might use your monitor 
profile is in your scanner software, again for accurate viewing.
