I use Paint Shop Pro X as my graphics program ...
the colour workspace
is the same as the one (default) generated by my digital pix (sRGB or
whatever ... not Adobe 1998) ... when I assign the profile created by
CVS2S the resulting rendering of digital images is awful. Obviously
I've done something wrong ... am just not sure what it is.
Choosing your monitor profile as your workingspace is your error, the application should pick up your custom profile from the OS automatically, it is not assigned as the workingspace. So your bigger problem is getting your Spyder profile defined as your monitor profile by Windows.
Also, I tried the Profile Chooser utility ... by default it shows only
the srgb color space profile (the correct name escapes me) in italics
as the only option ... when I display the full list, the profile
created by CVS2S is there in bold but I'm unable to select it. Again,
I'm doing something wrong or missing a step but don't know what it is.
Try my instructions for selecting at the OS level...
Am grateful for the explanation of the Windows error message ... as
you might expect, users tend to think the message is the consequence
of something they've done ... it's nice to know otherwise.
Finally, I'm not quite sure how the profile created by this program
integrates with my camera (a small Coolpix), graphics program and
printer. Direction regarding this will be welcomed with grace.
There is a workflow primer on this topic included in the PrintFIX PRO User Guide. Download the PDF of the UserGuide from www.colorvision.com and look at the tutorials at the end of it, to find the one that diagrams the workflow from camera JPG or cameraRAW through to workingspace, profiled monitor, and profiled printer.
