Profile problem
Well I have a Canon 10D with Photoshop 7.01 but something new started
happening. I got a new laptop with window XP, put Photoshop on it and calibrated with Eye One. Now when I open files from the card reader it says profile doesn't match the camera profile. To my knowledge I don't think the camera has ever been profiled. Photoshop gives me 3 choices. Discard the camera profile. Use the working space profile or don't color manage. Well don't color manage I can understand and whatever will print will print. But what is best with the other two? Thanks in advance Mark |

It may be:
If you capture jpeg images they are usually in sRGB and will be a mismatch if your PS workspace is AdobeRGB. If you capture images in RAW you ought to use AdobeRGB for the camera as well as for your PS workspace. |

I do use both RAW for most thing, but occasionally use JPG. Looking in I see the profile in Photoshop for sRGB as you recommended for JPG, and Adobe RGB as you recommend for RAW. What is being used is the custom profile for the monitor created by Eye One. I think this is the one that will allow the printer and the software to communicate the best for the best prints but not sure. |

You should not be using the "Eye One" Monitor Profile as your working space profile. In PS go to Edit Colour Settings. In the Working Spaces section select Adobe RGB as your working Space Profile. While you have the Drop Down list in sight scroll upwards until you can see Monitor RGB. Along side it should show the name you have for your Eye One Profile. Then remember to select Adobe RGB as your Working Space Profile. If your Eye One Profile was not your Monitor Profile, in Windows Display Properties Setting Advanced Colour Management, select it and set it as "Default" This will at least get you started on the correct route, but you need to do a little research on Colour Management in order to understand the basic principles. Have a look at the PS "help" files, or www.computer-darkroom.com for an explanation of all the bits. Roy G |

The monitor profile done by Eye One is the default on the monitor and always was. I think I understand that profile is telling the monitor what to display, where the workspace is telling it what data to deal with. Will try a few prints and see if anything fouls up but I wouldn't expect it. Color management has been the biggest challenge Ive had in the digital learning curve. Anyone else have the same problem?

Profile problem
The monitor works through Windows, in dependent of Photoshop. The
default install of Photoshop sets its color space to sRGB so if you have your camera set to Adobe RGB, you will get the message you have. No biggy, just go to edit/color space in Photoshop and change the default to AdobeRGB or set your camera/RAW processor to sRGB. Used to print other folks work and this happened all the time. Just remember if you start with sRGB color space switching to AdobeRGB will not increase the color space it just creates more empty territory around the sRGB space. But if you use AdobeRGB as the original color space save this with your original, you can switch to sRGB that will restrict your color space for web use, some photoprinters etc. Tom |
