1. Re: How can I check photoshop is giving correct colour screen display ?
Dave Merchant Nov 24, 2013 12:23 PM (in response to Envirographics)Unless you use a hardware display calibration device, what you think you see on screen is meaningless. Photoshop is color-profile aware so on a calibrated monitor it will be accurate automatically; many other apps are not.

Envirographics Nov 24, 2013 12:37 PM (in response to Dave Merchant)Forgot to mention (and for some reason edit wont let me at my own post !) the screen is £1200 worth of Eizo ColorEdge and calibrated regularly with Spyder 3. Website http://www.imaging-resource.com/ARTS/MONCAL/CALIBRATE.HTM it shows all those as described.

rtl300 May 1, 2014 1:51 AM (in response to Envirographics)Hi, my display has been fine for years and now suddenly is showing exactly the same problems that you're describing, did you find a solution in the end as obviously no one helped you on this discussion? Thanks, Russ

twenty_one May 1, 2014 2:44 AM (in response to Envirographics)What a lot of people with wide gamut monitors don't realize, is that a fully color managed environment is an absolute requirement. And when I say absolute I mean absolute. With software that isn't color managed a wide gamut monitor is next to useless and a waste of good money.
If you have to use non-color managed software, you need to disregard what you see on screen, it'll be way off.
As long as you have a valid monitor profile, and an embedded document profile, Photoshop is correct. Yes, both those profiles have to be present and correct. Other applications displaying differently are wrong.
And why are you using Spyder3? The bundled ColorNavigator software is superior in every way. Yes, you can use the Spyder 3 sensor if that's what you mean (but it's not the best one out there).
Edit: didn't realize this was an old thread. But the answer applies to rtl300 as well.

rtl300 May 1, 2014 2:48 AM (in response to twenty_one)Hi, many thanks for your answer, I'm afraid your reply doesn't explain why printed and reproduced images on both my system and through professional finishers comes back with strong vivid colour nothing like shown through Photoshop or why there should suddenly be a difference in the display from January until now?

Photoshop Monitor & Profile Image(link)
a big tip - why colors in Photoshop look different in other applications - is:
View> Proof Setup: Monitor RGB
that should duplicate what the other apps are displaying (the RGB numbers are going straight to the monitor with no color adjustment) - Photoshop converts/adjusts source colors to the monitor profile for a so-called 'true-color' display...

rtl300 May 1, 2014 8:43 AM (in response to gator soup)You are a genius, thank you, for some reason it was set to working CMYK which was throwing everything out. Still look drab through the RAW converter screen but things are definitely looking up!
