Okay, I’ve got my monitor tested and profiled. I’ve got profiles for my scanners (flat bed and film). I’ve got my DSLR set to Abode RGB. My printer is an HP Deskjet so I’m working on that.

Now my question is, when do I use these profiles in CS? If I’m importing an image from the scanner, do I choose the scanner profile or the monitor profile, or sRGB? Same for the camera? If I convert my camera image (RAW) to ADOBE 1998, do I choose that profile in CS?

I’m sure I’m just being too thick headed to get this. Thanks in advance. MCG

After scanning, you convert from the scanner profile to your working space profile.

When printing, you convert from the document profile to the printer profile.

The scanner profile. Then convert the resulting image to your working color space.

Yes.

Didn’t the profiling software tell you how to do these steps? Jim

In other words, a working profile is different from a device profile, primarily due to its larger color gamut and its color neutrality. Unless you have a specific reason not to do so, use Adobe RGB for your working profile when you bring images into Photoshop for editing. Then, when you are ready to print, Photoshop will make the conversion to your printer profile for output. If everything works as it should, what you see on your monitor will be very close to what comes out of the printer.
