• Color management B8850 is driving me crazy!

  Help, please!

  I use a mac 10.5.6 with the latest HP driver.

  When I try to print using a colorprofile I get very poor results! The color management system can not be disabled!

  First of all. Im trying to print using Photoshop CS3. In the PS print dialog, I select:

  -Color management in Photoshop

  -The color appropriate for my HP paper profile

  In the system settings, however, the option to deselect the color management (under paper/quality) is a party! I don't see this option when photoshop does not handle the colors!

  I post a picture, but I don't seem to be able to add one in this forum.

  Every help and FAQ always indicates that the color management wihtin should I disable the control panel of the printer. But I can't!

  If I use the settings colors are very bad! Please help, this is driving me crazy!

  Yes, I found a solution. You must let the re-kalibrate printer out the print heads, putting them back in and restart the printer. HP phone support was very helpful.

• Pavilion 14-n204sf: Radeon 8670 current driver does not allow for color management

  Hi, this is my first post on the forum. The problem, I do face is quite simple: after I've updated 8670 M Radeon driver for my computer in August I immediately found that color management system was not working. Cannot use an ICC profile, impossible to calibrate a monitor (I tried X-Rite and the built-in Windows, both failed tool), any feature dealing with color management had simply disappeared from my machine and was replaced by an error message - aaargh!

  At the time I found that all the problems have disappeared as soon as I rolled back the Radeon driver to the previous (IE. July 2015) pilot and learned how Windows 10 not not trying the upgrade of this driver more. Of course, the problem was caused by a major bug in the new driver, but a simple tunraround should just continue to use the previous driver. So far so good.

  But now things have only become worse. Due to a problem with a software, I tried to find the current driver Radeon, which turned out to be the dreaded August version, with the result the same mess as before. When I tried to roll back this driver again for the July version working, I had the very bad surprise as (1) "Roll back driver" in the control panel is gray now as if there was no previous version, and (2) it is not possible to find the version of June on the website of HP - or elsewhere also.

  So: How/where can I get the driver of 8670 M Radeon dated July 6, 2015, so I can use my computer for my work in photography again? I can't believe that it is not possible.

  And of course, I have a second question: how is it that no new version of the driver has been released since August to set a such obvious flaw? I hope that someone will take the time to solve the problem and deliver a pilot fully working soon.

  Thank you very much in advance for your help.

  HI @jlb21,

  Thank you for your inquiry.

  I understand that when you install the graphics driver updated for Radeon 8670 M in August you have lost your color management system did not work.  Once you cancelled the driver in the device manage everything was good again.

  Because of a software problem, you must reinstall this driver. When you checked the Device Manager there is only the version of the driver available August and you do not have a roll back driver option.

  You can try to uninstall the driver and then search for the driver, try a Windows driver if available to determine if it would help.

  As you have 10 Windows installed I don't know if you still have the recovery partition. If not and you have recovery media, you can try following the steps described in the following document.

  Computers HP - using Recovery Manager to restore the software and drivers (Windows 8)

  If the driver in question was provided with your original operating system and you have no support for recovery, you can get a kit of HP support recovery.    You can ask if they can check if all drivers have been updated on the recovery kit that I don't know.  I don't know if they can verify this information, but it does not hurt to ask?

  Please contact HP to Contact HP Supportassistance.

  Please let me know the results.

• I'm trying to print using my own profile and no color management.   I have found a lead to the Adobe Color Print Utility but reached a point where he declared that she would not work with future versions of the Mac operating system.   I have Mac OS 10,11,

  I have been printing PSD images with my own profiles and color management using an Epson R2880.

  I've now changed to a Mac with OO 10.11.3 and unable to replace the color management.   I found a lead on the Adobe Color printer utility but failed and got a message saying that the utility has only worked with an earlier version of the OS 10.   Is there a way to turn this problem?

  GHK

  You don't want or need to use the old setting 'No Color Management'. Is no longer the right way to print with a custom printer profile, in the current versions of Photoshop and OS X.

  To use a custom profile to print, use the attached picture settings:

  • In the print dialog box, set the Photoshop color management menu manages colors.
  • Select your profile to the printer in the printer profile menu.
  • In the settings of printer driver Epson (under Printer Setup button) make sure that the Epson printer driver is set to the color - off management.

  

  I don't know why Adobe Color Printer Utility works in 10.11.3, because I can throw on OS X 10.10 and 10.11. But in the end, it doesn't matter, because you don't want to use it for this purpose Adobe Color Printer Utility is only to print a profiling target, no images. And it won't let you print using your custom printer profile, because the whole point of the utility is to print with no discoloration whatsoever.

• Book recommendation color management?

  Hi people,

  I'm using Photoshop since version 2, but only as a violinist could relax with a bit of playing the keyboard.  My main concert over the years has been the multimedia programming and 3D animation, both for delivery to the screen in the world wonderfully sane of RGB color.

  Now, I turn to print in a big way and print hard at that.  I need to create a book cover for a print job on request a Lightning Source.  The image has a lot of contrast and LS imposes a limit of ink coverage either - as - 240% in CMYK mode, which means that I'll have to massage the dark areas of the image without destroying the tones of the beautiful color of the paint on the front cover.

  Color management is therefore suddenly critical mission, and I would stick my head in the theory in a serious way.  If someone of you print jockeys could recommend a source on the subject, I would be grateful.  I know that Adobe Community Help videos and references in the article, and I will browse them willingly.  But what I'm looking for is a final text theoretical bases - something like an O'Reilly book on the color management for print media that I can sit and read with a blanket.

  Thank you very much

  On your 'pact with the devil '.

  It's my way of thinking that because you are going to use a printer, you will eventually use the devil to ensure real print function.

  The old expression, «Better the devil you know...» "really applies in this company.

  "Lightning Flash" or whatever these printers called themselves exposed you the the dark side of color management, I suspect that their goal was to escape the guilt should work to the South.

  It should be the responsibility of the printers to ensure control of the color instead of dropping their clients into the deep end of the dark side.

  So, that's my opinion, expressed earlier, that his research could be better spent finding a press (printing house) which has a good reputation and, above all, does not try to dazzle with tech-speak. You should not have to send on such a ride like you've been on a horse in order to produce reliable and consistent colors. What is the function of the printer and... get:

  A lot of printers automatically substitute your settings, despite your best efforts to prepare before your files.

  As you have probably noticed, I enjoy a good debate on color management, but I'm afraid that this dialog driven, while fun for me, can be counterproductive to your objectives and your needs. I apologize all noting that you are a 'player' as well... BUT...

  Color management IS a debate. That one sentence says a lot.

  If you find a printer who said: "We have the game", and gets close enough for you to approve a proof print, your experience will be much more rewarding.

  Get the reputation of your company in print and find one with whom you have a relationship, and then see if they can deliver. Then keep this partner.

  At the end of the day, you will never be able to calibrate your printer system, and this is the KEY!

  Each press has different d - max. Each document (RCM of clay), each monitor each platesetter or imagesetter, each engine conversion, each ink or powder is a variable in the equation. All these variables can be converted to constants with properly calibrated equipment. That cannot be done "in-house".

  (You have not access to their tools so why they ask you to cut the wood for them?)

  So, it seems that you are on the right path for me. Deal with the devil, indeed!

  The traditional name for apprentices since the days of Gutenberg is "printer of the devil."

  Greetings from planet K - pxl

  Locally, if you want to support on-check... Kinko's in Auburn? Auburn printers?

  I mentioned the dome in the bag because I was there when they calibrated their system and I know how wnt knowledge and time in the process.

  It is in accordance with ISO. May be expensive.

• Re: What update display driver affect color management settings?

  Hi all!

  I received a message on the new update of the display driver and I have a few doubts about the installation. When I installed an update of the BIOS driver, all the parameters of the BIOS returns the value default ones, but in this case, it wasn't a big deal to put once again according to my needs. But I spent, probably, half a day, adjusting the color using color management, and I really want to keep the settings I've done. So, please, tell me, if updating the nVidia driver assigns these parameters and if there is no way to save them? Thank you very much!

  Hello

  If you install a graphics card driver, your bet will be set by default. To be honest, I see no reason to update the drivers if the system works well. I always use the same drivers that I downloaded before and do not update again. On the backup of the settings, I don't know how to do it. Anyway, I've never thought about this.

  You are welcome, if have any other questions.

  Then add the printer, however when it by adding not just click on the name of printers, click Add printer or a scanner. Make sure that the 'use' is set to the printer and not Airprint.
  If it is displayed as Airprint, you will be missing feautres compared to the actualy printers driver.

  After that, I'll provide you know several documents that you may find useful to perform this task.

• Impossible to apply an ICC profile to display. can not understand instructions for color management

  I just upgraded again own computer with Windows7 from my old XP machine.  I have icc profiles for my two monitors.  Under XP, I had nothing wrong with 'apply' or 'associate' or 'use' of these profiles by using the MS color, and both monitors would change appearance when starting a State fully calibrated and profiled.

  Now, in Win7, I followed fairly confusing instructions, go to the color management / devices / select one of the screens / click "use my settings for this device" / add a profile box "Profiles associated with this device" using the add"" button.  Then I click on the correct profile in this box and click "Set as default profile".  Nothing happens.  I can put any weird profile as a default, and nothing happens.

  I don't even know instructions during the effective application of this profile is supposed to happen, but guess it is when you click on "set as default profile."

  "It may be a clue that the color management dialog box fails to identify my poster other than in the form ' generic PnP monitor - NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT" while the control panel NVIDIA and Windows 'Screen Resolution' box both manage to identify the poster correctly and use their own name i, e, Eizo L768 and Samsung SyncMaster.

  In addition, 'Identify display' in the dialogue box CM works exactly the opposite of how it works in the other two boxes that is Samsung (left) is number 1 in color Mgmt, but number 2 in the control panel Nvidia and Windows 'Screen Resolution' box.

  I'm stuck until I can address this issue, so would be very grateful for any help.

  Thank you

  Thanks the geek for your help.  No thank you somehow to anyone from Microsoft.  None of this reflects well on Microsoft; No to the current Windows 7 CM interface design, not the fact that after years of complaints and messing around with color management that they could have finally gotten the mechanics in place, but still cannot explain, or make it possible for mortals to use it, and certainly not the fact that they create these monsters and offer no support to any well-founded None.  Not a response to a MS person here, not a good answer to similar questions scattered throughout the Web, no after sales support during any period after the purchase of a new operating system of MS qualified (it's supposed to be provided by the OEM, but of course, none of them knows this kind of thing, how can you keep waiting if Microsoft don't?).  So - NO support.

  I can't believe I fell for the hype and purchased a new Windows System.  I swear to you that this is my LAST purchase of windows.  Microsoft, despite the amazing improvements in Win7, still do not understand.

  Here's the answer to my problem, thanks to some photographers and no thanks to Microsoft...

  1 ASSOCIATE YOUR PROFILES WITH DISPLAY AND SET as a DEFAULT value
  
  To apply an existing ICC profile (ICM file created by any process of calibration), follow these steps.

  Control panel / display / change display settings / advanced settings / color management / color (new!)  / Devices / select one of your displays * 1 / click "use my settings for this device" * 2 / if necessary adds profile applicable to the area of "Profiles associated with this device" using the "Add" button (if your profile is not already listed but is available somewhere on the network or the computer) / click on the correct profile in this box and click "set as default profile."

  * 1 the dialog boxes CM do not label your displays just like the other dialog boxes, they seem to lose the manufacturer and the model number information that is available elsewhere, so your display ABC model nn appears as display: 1. Generic PnP monitor .  Also note that at least on my system, display "1" was in fact display '2' in the other dialogs settings display and vice versa.

  * 2 that could think by selecting 'Use my settings for this device' would mean the Windows using your settings for this device (screen), but apparently it isn't.  That means... Well, I don't know what that means.  Perhaps it means that if you do select not her, even the next step (see below) will not help you.

  Good work so far - unnecessarily complex - and tortuous, but has a certain logic.  Unfortunately it is not nothing at all, until you train the secret key.  Well it seems that the above should do what you want, you need to do something that is quite obvious and not mentioned at all in the General discussion of the help and apparently not known by the 67 people who have read my question.  In fact, it is listed in the section to help Ms... at the bottom of the "Description of the color management settings" and after a largely incomprehensible mass of things that appear not to be relevant, there is a link that is not listed in the content at the top and almost impossible to see... To enable or disable calibration loading Windows

  2 ACTIVATE THE CALIBRATION BY WINDOWS LOADING

  Here's the little hidden from the help file...

  1. To enable or disable calibration loading of Windows, you must be logged in with an account of a user with administrator privileges.

  2. Click to open color management.

  3. Click the Advanced tab, and then click change system default values.

  4. Click on the Advanced tab in the color - default system, dialog management, and do one of the following:

     • To allow Windows to load and display calibrations, check the box use Windows display calibration.

     • To prevent Windows from loading screen calibration, clear use Windows display calibration check box.

  5. Click Close in the color management - default settings dialog box of the system.

  6. Click Close in the color management dialog box.

  Not only it obscure, it confounds even by the fact that you are in the same dialog twice, but the second time is the reference color - default system management instead of the color management as it was the first two times.   But only on the second time is the required box enabled to allow you to check or do a system wide setting.  Easy to miss.

  Experts of either MS doesn't know about it and can not find in the help files or the other, or that they couldn't be bothered to answer my question.  In any case a) I hope this helps someone else, and b) I hope that Mrs. lift their game to support and actually meets the future to frustrated and powerless people that I was.  Thanks Microsoft for losing a day of my life.

• Computer laptop loss during berthing and departure color management settings

  I am running Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 64 bit on a Dell Latitude E6540 with a docking station.  I have calibrated color screen on the laptop as well as an external monitor attached to the docking station.  Whenever I'm disconnecting the computer, the system resets the color management settings and I lose the color calibration on the screen of the laptop.  I have then go manually through Control Panel and re - apply the calibration profile to make things normal.

  I have everything set up so that the calibrated profile is the default profile for the system and I checked this is the case if the machine is docked, but he always loses calibration settings each time.  All drivers of video system are also updated and current.

  Any thoughts or ideas on how to solve this problem?

  Thanks in advance for any advice.

• Dell U2413/U2713H (or maybe Windows 8) issue of color management

  Hello guys!

  I am an excessive user of Photoshop / graphic designer and I just bought Dell U2413 to obtain, in combination with my graphics card Nvidia Quadro K2000, a true wide range/10-bit working environment of color which is very important for what I do. (Nec or Eizo was not an option because I've already spent so much money on other materials and I opted for Dell because I heard it is the best display in this price range - in my country, with taxes, it cost me 566 EUROS).

  Previously, I was working on iMac for almost a decade then separate pieces of hardware or Windows operating system was a new (and, I must admit, pretty scary) territory for me. However, after everything has been put in place, I tried to calibrate my monitor for the first time and then I was very unpleasantly surprised! Namely, I have X-Rite i1 Display colorimeter Pro and some optional software for it (ColorEyes display Pro and baslCColor display 5 was much better/appropriate for me because of their L * option for TRC so I never used it original i 1 Profiler is a software which is a LOT less than the previous two compering), but because Dell in it's manual said to use a calibration color UltraSharp Solution software is exclusively I decided to give it a go and try with it. But, to my (as I already said, very unpleasant!) surprise, I was EVEN less of i1 Profiler which, as I have said, was never an option for me.

  Not the end of the world, I thought, I'll re - calibrate it with ColorEyes Display Pro and everything goes well. But, after doing so, my unpleasant surprise become even more unpleasant, when I discovered that no matter what profile I chose in Windows Color Management and press "Set as default", nothing happens - my screen remains the same! The only way I can get a color change is if I create a profile using Windows built in utility. Profiles created in this way change the appearance of the screen, but all the profiles downloaded or created make no difference. And now I literally don't know what to do... The worst thing only of this, I can't blame WHO:

  1 Dell - that has a 'high end' view gives you ONLY a few factory presets + 2 custom profiles (Cal1 and Cal2) made by software calibration nowdays more inferior and useless;
  2. Windows 8 - who did a terrible color management which, in the same way, not a color at all management;
  3. me - who is unable to see put in place something that is more than simple & obvious?

  THANKS in ADVANCE for everyone is willing to help me solve this question and forgive me for a long (and perhaps confusing-) as you can say English is not my language kindergarten post!

  First of all if you use the eyes color pro with GBLED and i1DisplayPro and you're not invited to a sort of spectral correction for your type of backlight screen, you're hurting. No matter how visually pleasant it is, the profile is not accurate, playing WYSIWYB (what you see is what you believe) not WYSIWYG.
  Second, unless you have purchased/updated Basiccolor Display 5 after may 2013 (NEC GB LED suppor for PA242W, 5.1.2 version) with GBLED and i1DisplayPro, its measures are wrong, no matter how nice of calibration is.

  With your questions:
  You have 6 presets:
  -CAL1/CAL2, please read questions configuration on the Dell color calibration Solution in this instance. Please install the latest version 1.0.1.0 (67MB) and disable all color adjustments in yor GPU nvidia (bright colors, digital vibrance... all OFF). Most of us use in Windows 7 without problem (after a few configuration settings: spectal correction for GBLED files)

  etc.
  -Factory-sRGB/AdobeRGB which are probably with a white point off the coast of the D65, recalibrate in GPU LUT with ArgyllCMS/DisplayCal. Works very well.
  -Standard with a usually arround WP 7000 K (native GBLED WP), if calibrated in GPU LUT with ArgyllCMS/DisplayCal ' nearest the locus of the daylight "of your native WP should give about your contrast of 1000: 1. It is perhaps unnecessary to your workflow, but it is better to know it.
  -Custom, native, fully customizable range WhitePoint, blackpopint and luminance of D50 D70 and beyond.
  Work with color management applications just you Custom, CAL1 and CAL2.

  You may have a problem with Windows (from Windows Vista from) color management. By default, Windows does not allow profiles (but applications can) rewriting GPU LUT of calibration. You need to configure.
  In W8, it's done:
  -From the right panel-> Search-> color management
  -Go to the tab advanced options
  -Click on "change default settings...". ', the button down with administrator privileges.
  -Go to the tab advanced options in this new window
  -Toogle check buton (bottom) "windows use on screen calibration" (sorry I don't have an English version of Windows and I don't know the exact text)
  -Reload button calibrations (bottom)
  -Close
  -Go to the "Devices" tab and select your screen in the upper drop-down list
  -check the box "use my record for this device".
  -Select your profile

  Your screen SHOULD be the same printer Dell preset OSD in which this profile was created, without other changes in contrast or brightness.
  If enabled, please disable the "AUTO" mode in the Dell Display Manager tray icon, use the manual mode with "enhanced video" (last tab) OFF.

  BTW and I know that this is not your case, but without workflow 10bits or gamma in 3DLUT (NECs & eizos) L * gamma calibration is not necessary.

  For those who have worn with 8-bit or DA better sRGB gamma CRT and let Photoshop or GIMP color management to make corrections for images ECIv2 (or with similar profiles of gamma)

• 13.7 AE color management is broken

  Apart from remove professional video color profiles updates the 13.7 seems to have dismantled the CMS in AE.

  It is a pure EXR in sRGB - no CMS:

  

  It's the same EXR with project defined in Adobe RGB color space and linearize the workspace:

  

  Look at the terrible banding! Fortunately, it seems to be connected only to the viewer - rendered images do not suffer bands, but still it used to work fine before.

  PS.

  After a few tries of the cause of this is the setting of 'hardware accelerate Composition. If I disable it, everything works as it should.

  So yes, hardware acceleration combined with color management is a DISASTER

  Hardware acceleration on some cards also preview problems when comps are wider than 1024 pixels and you work in 32-bit full resolution color space. I filed a bug about this on one of my systems and then turned off hardware acceleration, so I do not have the problem. I'll check and file another bug report needed.

• Neophyte color management problems

  Neophyte color management problem:

  Image rendered PS colors do not match monitor or images rendered with other applications.

  Recall facts: using MacBook Pro retina with NVIDIA GeForce GT M 750 (calibrated in sRGB with ColorMunki Display software), OSX 10.95, PS CS5 and new external NEC PA272 (material calibrated to native with calibrator Spectraview II & NEC gamut) connected with the mini-displayport cable. Although slightly different due to different Mac and NEC display gammuts, a sample JPEG on Mac seems somewhat near NEC as desktop BG on respective monitors images and seen with the OSX Preview app on a monitor. AND the same image in PS when the image PS window is MOVED to NEC, is STILL, UNTIL the mouse is released. Then the image in the PS on NEC image window moves with a glance off the coast of colors. I am aware that the Mac display is sRGB and the NEC a range wide screen, and that this image of the example is a JPEG to sRGB, but I wanted an image that would be displayed on two monitors, with different applications, including the Psalm but it's the same thing when the main PSD used to create the JPEG format is loaded in PS then MOVED over to the NEC. Tried to play with management PS colors and corresponding attempt to different

  Profiles, but no luck. Tried the General searches on Google, but I'm lost. Any suggestions where to start to fix this problem? Thank you!

  The standard behavior in a multi-screen configuration is that Photoshop uses other operating system display profile offers upward so that the display - up to what the image window crosses the line to halfway between them. Then he goes to use the other profile.

  The shift-on-drop thing indicates a video card problem. That's how OpenGL works in Photoshop, when you drag an OpenGL image is temporarily suspended, and then snaps back on when you file.

  So I would try to disable the GPU in the PS preferences or set it to the basic mode. This shifts all display color to the CPU. Then wait for the next update of video driver from Apple.

• Why is it not my icc profile in the 'other' tab in the color management tab in the print module?

  I installed a new icc profile (as I did in the past). It appears in the folder c:/windows/system32/spool/drivers/color as well as everything else. I have the latest update for Lightroom installed. I closed Lightroom, restarted the computer and restarted Lightroom. My other profiles are listed, but this one isn't there. I know it must be added in the menu 'Other' down in the profile section of the tab in the print module color management--but it is just not there. Any advice would be appreciated.

  I just figured it out, and I'll put the answer here in case others run into the same issue.

  I closed the print module and went in the develop module. I went soft proofing (shortcut "S") mode and looked on this list of management-profile-other colors, and it was there. I then closed out proofing and returned to the print module. Now the icc profile was listed. Strange behavior, but there you go.

  All first of all system information:

  * Illustrator CC

  * Pantone Color Manager

  I try to use the Pantone Fashion and home / color paper library provided by Pantone color Manager, clean for the use of the radiant missawi 18-3224 TPX (color of 2014). I saved the library named in a *.ase file and opened it in artificial intelligence. The number of colors, I guess, that all colors are imported, but I can't find the 18-3224. BUT there are a lot of 'no name Global Colors"with some of them who could be in question. Using 'pantone.ase xxd' in the terminal I can find at least the name "radiant 18-3224 TPX Orchid", which means, it is saved in the given file. Does anyone have an idea where start or - even better - how to solve this problem?

  Looking forward to any suggestions,

  Dear Scott:

  Your copy of PANTONE Color Manager is seriously out of date, because this problem has been fixed for a long time.

  To correct this, you will need to register at myPANTONE if you have not already done so - it is a free registration and will allow access to the PANTONE Color Manager update installer.  If you need to register you can do it first at https://www.pantone.com/pages/MYP_myPantone/mypMemberProfile.aspx.

  So here are the steps needed to correct this problem:

  1. delete all exported PANTONE FASHION + libraries HOUSE of all Adobe applications.

• The operation of the Photoshop color management

  Hey guys!

  I spent some time, research and try to understand the inner workings of the Photoshop color management and met much information unclear and contradictory, especially in what concerns the test format. I think I thought that some of them out, but (for ease of my sleep) I thought to ask direct questions, just to be sure. I guess it's more of a curiosity thing.

  I'm on a Mac OS X 10.8, Photoshop CS6, monitor calibrated from the standard range, working in sRGB for the web.

  (1) what I have gathered, to get a specific color as possible on my screen, all I have to do is the workspace sRGB or have images with embeded sRGB tag and including my calibrated monitor profile ICC loaded in OS X. In this way, all the images and colors in Photoshop will respect sRGB and my calibration profile will ensure that my monitor is in fact the correct sRGB color display (for as long as it's still capability). Fix?

  (2) I have met many 'practical advice' where people mention using the format of test > Monitor RGB as a way to monitor the colors for the web and then I saw people saying that's not true. As I understand it, the function of monitor RGB strips the tag embeded and does not take into account the workspace of the image, instead showing you the RGB values in the 'native' of the screen color space, which in my case would be sRGB-ish. Photoshop color management, but not the profile of calibration of displayaround a bit. Fix?

  (3) when the viewing a tag image sRGB, activating / disabling the test format: RGB Monitor on and outside has absolutely no effect. Am I right to assume that this is because the sRGB tag is getting 'off', but since the monitor is standard gamut, the native color space is always sRGB?

  What I find weird is when I change the display profile in OS X to my only calibrated for, for example, a generic RGB, activating / disabling the test format: Monitor RGB effect - changes in brightness of picture visibly. If my above hypothesis was correct, it shouldn't happen, right? Where my confusion.

  Thank you!

  Many people overcomplicate it. It's actually very simple.

  1 Photoshop converts on the fly from the document on the monitor profile profile. As long as the monitor profile is an accurate description of the screen, it shows correctly regardless of the original document profile. That's the whole point of the color management, translation of one color space to another aspect/goal of maintaining.

  There is no particular reason to work in sRGB just because your monitor is (or close). However, you will not see directly the colors in the file that are outside of the monitor range.

  2. waterproofing to Monitor RGB is a quick test to see how the image appears without any color at all management. I guess it could be useful in some cases, when you need consistency to accuracy. Other than that, it is completely useless, that it shows what it looks like on your system. And anyway, there is no reason today not to use fully color managed browsers.

  3. Waterproofing is an extra turn to the conversion mentioned above. The point is to limit the range to test the profile, so that you can see this cutting will do to the image. It will documents profile > profile proof > monitor profile. If the profile of evidence has a range equal to or greater than the monitor profile, you will see no difference.

  Important point to keep in mind: If the profile source and destination are the same, no conversion happens and color management is by definition disabled or disabled.

  The first part of the string of audit, document evidence, may be a "convert" or "assignment". Convert maintains appearance, while assign run numbers, but changes its appearance. It's the checkbox 'Keep the numbers' in the proof Setup dialog box.
