Color Settings in Photoshop CS5
« on: May 09, 2011, 06:11:34 pm »

Hello, I need some help regarding which settings I need to select in the Photoshop CS5 'color settings' box. I use a brand new mac tower, NEC Multisync PA 241w monitor, a monaco optix calibrating device, and spectraview software. what setting do I set the box for; 'custom' and then Adobe 1998 rgb down below in working space, OR 'monitor color' and then the name of my most recent profile from when I calibrate the monitor? attached examples.

You really should change that quickly!
All is in Andrew's PDF (for the choice of the preferred RGB working color space, see http://www.ppmag.com/reviews/200403_rodneycm.pdf and don't put your monitor profile in there, PS knows how to use it anyway).

But isn't there a growing consensus to use ProPhoto these days rather than AdobeRGB?

For those working with raws in Adobe converters, yes.
