Digital BW, The Print

To set the monitor profile in Windows, open Display properties (rightclick 
on screen)/Settings/Advanced/Color Management. The dialog there will show 
you any profiles that are associated with your monitor and which of them is 
the default. PS will use the default profile automatically, and you can see 
which it is using by opening Color Settings in PS, and scrolling up to 
Monitor RGB-????? (Near the top above all the other profiles). the ??? is 
the profile it is using for the monitor.

Make sure that you have removed ADobe Gamma loader from your Startup folder 
(just drag it out) and just have the loader for your spectro software (Logo 
calibration loader for the GM software, basiccolor videoLUT loader for my 
BasicColor software). If two loaders are present you will see two color 
changes during startup.

Subject: [Digital BW] How Photoshop uses monitor profile?


In corresponding with Steve on various monitor issues, he asked if I
was sure that PS was actually using my i1 monitor profile.  I had
always assumed that PS used the Windows system setting for the monitor
profile.  In researching this it appears this may not be the case.
Although Adobe Gamma does not load on startup of Windows, it appears
that it may b necessary to use Adobe Gamma to specify which ICC profile
to use.  See Adobe document 321608 for the full story.  In spending an
hour on the phone with Adobe, they are confused about how to specify
the profile for PS or how to determine which monitor profile PS is
actually using.

Clearly I am looking at PS through the profile, which affects the
screen and all programs at startup.  But does PS need to know the
profile to translate between working space and screen view, etc.?
