Digital BW, The Print

I have spent the day playing with lots of photoshop colour settings etc 
mainly in response to Clayton's articles on using dot gain profiles 
etc. All seemed well when I turned off but next time I fired up 
photoshop there is a strong warm cast. The only setting which will 
banish it is to turn off the colour management altogether. Windows is 
operating at the correct colour.
Just found another way to correct the colour. It is correct if I click 
View/Proof set up/Monitor RGB. The default has always been Working CMYK 
up to now with no problems.
This is driving me mad. Help would be greatly appreciated.
Pete.

Couple of questions:

When you look at a particular image, how do you know what the correct color
should be?

How have you calibrated your monitor?

Hi Paul,
All sorted now. My neutral greys with balanced RGB values eg. 
128,128,128 are now grey and not sepia. The monitor is calibrated.

A BIG THANKYOU to Tony at http://www.imageplace.co.uk/ who emailed me 
and actually solved the problem by remotely taking over my PC. It 
turned out that an errant monitor profile had to be removed from the 
Windows folder containing ICC profiles since it was in conflict with 
the profiles Photoshop was trying to use.
Tony runs a business offering monitor, printer and projector 
profiling at very reasonable rates. He also gives tuition and offers 
some materials at discount prices. I can't recommend him enough. 
Initial consultation is free and he wouldn't charge me to sort out my 
problem.
Pete.

A word of caution on this, I am sure that Tony is a very honest guy  
but do make sure to remove any software that you added allowing him  
in because it can leave you open to other hackers out there. It  
happened to me after I let Symantec in one time. Did he/you use a  
service called LogMeIn?

Mark

I agree with you that there are some remote connect systems which are  less
than desirable. I initially explored several, including MSN and Windows
Remote Assistance but found far too many difficulties for them to satisfy my
needs for a simple secure system. I had some early system crash experiences
that were totally unacceptable.

I now use a commercially hosted system which operates thru secure servers
with 128bit encryption.
At the end of the session the link is terminated and there is no access to
either party.
The unique way in which the connection is established overcomes most of the
difficulties that are frequently encountered with firewalls blocking
access....it really is about as simple as it can be! 
Its use has revolutionised my client assistance work.

If anyone wants to know more please contact me.

Thanks for your concern Mark. You have had your answer from the man 
himself.

Hi Daniel,
The program was Xlab ISL client light. It did leave a folder behind 
which I have deleted.

Sounds like FogCreek Copilot. From what I've heard it's secure and very easy
to use for both parties.
