hi guys,
i have been struggling a while with getting my colors right. i am photographer and need to make sure what i see on screen is as close as possible to what the prints will look like in the magazines and on the web - i am sure i am not the first one - i feel i made it 95% of the way. here the last 5% i am struggling with:
i have calibrated my imac screen using the spyder3, set my photoshop color settings to adobe rgb98, changed under conversion options the intent to "perceptual" and unticked "use dither" - so far so good.
here the question: under "proof setup" do i check "monitor rgb" (since i calibrated my screen) or do i choose "adobe rgb98" in the custom menu? (since that matches my embedded profile)
do i leave "proof colors" ticked all the time?
viewed in adobe rgb98 the colors look much more saturated, so i guess i am afraid they turn out that way at the printers too.
any hints would be greatly appreciated!!
