I have a new LaCie monitor and the Blue Eye Vision colorimeter that came with it. I used it to make a monitor profile – then set that profile as Default in the Control Panel. I also have Monaco’s soft proofing system which lets me make profiles for my scanner (Epson 3200 Pro) and printer (Epson 1280) – which I did. My problem is that I don’t know how to use these profiles in Photoshop (or any other software, for that matter). I have Photoshop CS and know how to go into Color Settings – but I don’t
know
how to set up the color flow. For now, I only plan to print to my Epsin
ink
jet. Could someone offer some directions for me please? Thanks……
I’m working off Ver 7.0 for now, but assuming that the color settings haven’t changed dramatically, just use the US Press Defaults, and make sure that your monitor profile is there (toggle the RGB workspace, scroll up and see if the monitor space has your profile name attached to it, then scroll back down to Adobe RGB98 and leave it there.)
Next, when you bring the scanner file in, simply assign the scanner profile and then convert to your working space (AdobeRGB98). Your now done using the scanner profile.
To use the printer profile when you want to soft-proof, simply go to view>proof-setup>select your printer profile>and toggle paper white. Use either Relative Colormetric or Perceptual rendering intent, depending on which you like best. You should now see a screen proof that will very closely match your final print, assuming your monitor and printer profiles are accurate. Save this proof setting so you can bring it up quickly later.
To use the printer profile when you want to print, use the following settings:
Photoshop:
Print with Preview>show more options>color managment Source space: document (Adobe RGB98)
Print Space: your printer and paper profile
Intent: just make sure you use the same one you have in your soft-proof.
Epson driver:
Paper: select the same one you used for the profile
Color Management: OFF (as in NO COLOR MANAGMENT)
Good luck and enjoy your set-up.
