Checking What Monitor Profile is Being Used in Photoshop

15th September 2015 Colour Management & Lighting, Image Editing


To check what monitor profile Photoshop is using, go to Edit->Colour Settings.

Drop down the RGB working space selector and in there (towards the top) will be an entry 'Monitor RGB - profile name'. N.B. You shouldn't actually need to select this, but this is where you can confirm in Photoshop what profile it is using.

Note: Unfortunately Photoshop only confirms the profile in use for the primary monitor - the one the Photoshop menu bar is on.  If you wan to confirm the profile for your other monitor, temporarily make it your primary monitor and re-start Photoshop.

Make sure you leave your correct desired working space selected as you exit this dialogue (for most people this should be AdobeRGB - much more on this in The Digital Fine Print - Colour Management Practise Part Two).
 
 
 

Thanks for the quick turn around on the profiles - I just ran the test print and compared against one that I did yesterday morning and it looks great - stronger reds, neutral greys, no yellow cast, better skin tones and shadow detail. Thanks again.
