I'm not sure if you see the big picture or not, there are two halves to the process. First is to calibrate your monitor, so what you see on your screen would look the same that someone else would see on their monitor, if their monitor is calibrated too. I've heard that most monitors are turned up too bright, and therefore the printouts are usually appearing too dark. I'm not using the same monitor calibration device you are using, but if it works like mine, as my computer boots up, the profile of my monitor is read and my monitor darkens somewhat and I see a color shift.

The second half of the process is to have an ICC profile of a combination of your printer, ink, and paper. I use a Spyder 3, it prints out a number of color blotches on the paper I will be using, reads the blotches with it's scanner and analyzes the difference. Once it creates a color profile, you use that profile while printing, and you can put that profile into photoshop.

I'm not an expert on this, I'm sure you will get a better response from somebody else on the net, but I just wanted you to know we are listening and communicating with the right group.

Dear Member,

I have recently purchased Spyder Elite4 for monitor calibration. After monitor calibration, not sure what colr profile settings I need to use in Photoshop. I tried spending too much time exploring different forums, but couldn't get answer.

Appreciate if someone can help to share snap shot of Photoshop setting for color profile.

Thanks

Ravi
