p.1 #1 · Color management

Hi everyone,

I'm having some color profiling issues with Vista and I would greatly appreciate some help! I have calibrated using a Spyder3 but the images look greenish.

I have a couple of questions:

What settings must I use in Vista's "color management" box? Must the device profile be the ICM profile I created after calibration with the spyder?

How can I get lightroom match the colors I see in my browser? I know that browsers are not color aware but then the general public would see them as such. I've looked high and low on color mangement for lightroom but there doesnt seem to be anything I can change in the preferences.

Thanks everyone!

Not using Vista, still XP across the board (except the 1 Mac)

You might try the "Post Processing and Printing" forum. "Pro Digital" is really "Business of Photography."

I would assume, yes, you want your profile to be the default for the monitor that gets loaded at boot time. Lightroom will use that.

Photoshop CS2,CS3, or CS4 has many more color management options - soft proofing, default color spaces, convert to color space, etc.

Most browsers assume a file is in a sRGB format. Use that to edit if images are for the web. Use AdobeRGB or similar for your own printing, larger space.

Good luck!

Best,
Michael

If you are profiling with Spyder, turn all other color management off.
