Hello,

I have calibrated my monitor with Colorvision Spyder2. Why does Monitor RGB in Working Spaces in Color Settings dialog indicate sRGB IEC61966-2.1 as profile for my monitor instead of the profile created by Colorvision? Does this mean that Photoshop ignores the Colorvision profile and uses its default (sRGB??) instead?
Iam using CS3 and WinXP home.

Thank You,

Martti

Apparently, yes.

Check your startup entries in msconfig (type "msconfig" in the "run" box in the start menu.) My guess is that something there is interfering, some video card stuff most likely. Try to disable those – that’s usually safe, they don’t affect the basic driver.

If you have an older version of PS installed it could also be Adobe Gamma. Same procedure.

Martti,

Check if windows has adapted the profile: Right click on the desktop > Properties > Settings. Click on the button Advanced, then the tab Color Management.

Here, your profile should be the default one.

If it is, then Photoshop should adapt it automatically.
