Hi,
does anybody know how I can be sure what is the current ICM color profile Photoshop CS is assuming for my monitor or display? Note that I have not calibrated/profiled the monitor with Adobe Gamma, but with a different product.

With a laptop, MS Windows shows multiple Monitors in the control panel (even though I am using only one at a time), such as Default Monitor, Plug & Play monitor and the laptop LCD. Now I don’t know to which of those I should associate my custom made ICM profile, as I don’t know which one Photoshop CS is referring to.

I can try them one at a time, but to check I need a way to know which ICM profile Photoshop is currently using.

Thanks,
Francesco

Right-click on the open desktop, then Properties > Settings > Advanced > Color Management and see what’s listed for ‘default monitor profile’

If you press Shift + Ctrl + K inside Photoshop and look at the list of RGB working spaces, you’ll find a profile called ‘Monitor RGB – name of profile’ and that’s probably the same name as the default profile inside Control Panel > Display > Settings > Advanced > Color Management.

Good suggestion. I would add that if the profile name is not the same, then open the profile briefly with the Adobe Gamma control panel, and quit without making any changes. This will give PhotoShop the clue it needs to use the profile.
