Yes, you are correct. I was not clear in my description. The monitor  
profile used by the
computer is displayed at the top of the RGB working space pull down  
menu in Photoshop. It is
not recommended to choose that, but just to check what profile is  
being used by the computer.
It is easier and less confusing to just check that the Artisan  
Profile created by the calibrator
is chosen as the monitor profile, and on Mac's it is listed in system  
preferences>monitors>
If that profile is NOT chosen, then the display of images could be  
affected.
