The following are recommendations for output colour space and monitor ICC-profile settings with
image-processing applications. Some applications have a monitor correction display function which
automatically corrects the monitor display to a specific colour space.
With an application with a monitor correction display function (such as Adobe Photoshop Ver.5 to 6):
Output Colour Space : Select the same colour space as set in the application.
With Photoshop ver. 5.0 or later, look in the colour-setting
option in the file menu for the profile setup window.
ICC Profile : Use the profile for the monitor in use.
With an application without a monitor correction display function such as Photoshop Elements, or
when the function is disabled:
Output Colour Space : Monitor RGB
ICC Profile : Use the profile for the monitor in use.
An ICC profile for a specific monitor is available from the manufacturer. These may be downloaded
from the manufacturer’s web site. See the monitors instruction manual on how to install the ICC pro-
file.
Colour monitor ICC profiles can be created with one of the profile creation tools on the market. They
can also be created with the monitor-adjustment-assistant function installed in the Macintosh oper-
ating system, or with Adobe gamma included in Adobe Photoshop (ver.5.0 or later) for Windows.
