7-4 Adobe Photoshop
RGB Setup
Photoshop 5.x allows you to simultaneously use two RGB spaces, one for the
monitor and one for the Photoshop RGB working space. The monitor RGB
space setting does not affect the image data in the file; it affects only the way
the image is displayed on the monitor. Even if an RGB image has been
prepared with different monitor settings, it is still correctly displayed on your
monitor, without changes to the original values in the file.
From the Photoshop 5.x File menu, choose Color Settings>RGB Setup.
From the RGB menu, choose your current Photoshop RGB color space,
which should reflect the color space of most RGB files you will be opening. If
you create new RGB files or if you want to standardize your RGB files, you
should choose EFIRGB.
Click Load if the file is not visible in the RGB pop-up menu. You can load
the Calibrated RGB setup file, EFIRGB ICC ColorSync file, or the
EFIRGB.ICM file. All describe the same RGB space and automatically set
the Gamma, White Point, and Primaries. You may consider sRGB if you
usually view images on a generic PC monitor, or if you rely on a Windows
operating system to manage color on your monitor. If you choose sRGB as a
working space, make sure to print with the iR C2100/2100S RGB Source
option set to sRGB.
NOTE: EFIRGB is set as the default RGB Source color space on the
iR C2100/2100S. No matter what RGB space you select, make sure it is
available on the iR C2100/2100S. For more information on downloading
RGB Source profiles to the iR C2100/2100S, see Chapter 4.
The Monitor area shows the currently selected profile in the Adobe Gamma
control panel. Turn on both the Display Using Monitor Compensation and
Preview options.
