Once you get that right you have a firm base to work on.
Hi Steve, I think I have a better understanding of the difference between colour space and colour profile now. I have always found it difficult to to match my photos to what I see on screen. In saying that because I'm using a laptop I find it depends a lot on the angle I view the screen at. Things are much better since changing CS3 to my printer ICC profile. Not perfectly as I see on screen but pretty damn close. Part of the problem is that expermenting can be very expensive ink wise as I won't use compatibles on my "good printer" Tho I do use a DX4000 to play around a bit using compatible inks which helps to get somewhere near the result I want.
set sRGB as default colour space. Should be the same on Monitor: Camera: Photoshop Color Space: scanner: Printer. Finished print should be viewed with Daylight (blue)
bulb.
Adobe RGB 1998 has broader spectrum. sRGB is good starting point.
