Photoshop 7
Win XP Pro
Sony G520 CRT
I’m trying to work on photos taken with a Canon digital and create a finished file that I plan to bring to a professional photo lab for printing.
I don’t want to print on my (cheap) color printer, because I really want a fine quality print which my printer is not capable of.
The more I examine the options, the more confused I get:
My Sony monitor provides all kinds of color temperature options as well as an sRGB option where there are no color temperature adjustments. How should I set the monitor?
Then, I tried creating an icc profile using the wizard but now I can’t figure out how to load it.
More importantly, I see that there is an option in Photoshop Image/assign profile. Here there are many options, and the option that says "don’t color manage".
I’ve tried to read the online help but I don’t understand enough to have it be helpful.
Might someone be able to explain some of this to me and/or to point me to sites which would help someone who doesn’t understand it very well.
TIA
