Re: [Digital BW] Matching the Monitor to the Print

David,

You seem to understand what you wrote, but my mind is cloudy.  In PS6 Color
Settings -- if I enter the name of my monitor profile in the first RGB
(under Working Spaces), there is nowhere to enter my preferred color space
(Adobe RGB 1998).  The RBG entry (under Color Management Policies) is "Off"
and won't allow an entry.  Where do I err?
