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 your reply. It is wonderful to get such wonderful service and technical support! What a novelty these days! I really appreciate this! It is hard living in the country and not being able to go directly to a place to such as yours for a chat & to see products first hand.

You have a customer for life here. Yes, I am very happy with the monitor. Just needing to play with some of the settings now and am likely to have some more questions. Thanks you once again for your support!
