This is driving me crazy.
Windows XP, PS CS2, Epson C66 printer
I have a monitor profile I am sure I made a long time ago using Adobe Gamma. It may have come with the monitor driver though. I am not sure. That works fine and what I see on the screen matches reality quite closely. I judge this both on shots straight from the camera and from scanned pictures.
It I set PS to use another profile say Adobe RGB everything becomes very vivid and basically dreadful. Over saturated and has a green cast on the screen.
If I save the picture from the monitor profile set up, usually as a psd file, I can then print it from AcDsee with colour management turned off and again get a close match between the print and the screen. Turning the colour management on does not seem to have much effect provided I set the options to be the same for the monitor and printer either Adobe RGB or sRGB
If I try to print directly from Photoshop with it set to the monitor profile and the screen looking OK I the print is washed out and now has a magenta cast. – The opposite effect of what I see on the screen when using Adobe RGB.
I guess I am missing something basic – Any thoughts ??
