profile-to-profile conversions in sophisticated image-processing or DTP applications.
When using these profiles, the color reproduced may not be the same as the color
matching system in the utility software.

Color matching recommendations

The following are recommendations for output color space and monitor ICC-profile
settings with image-processing applications. Some applications have a monitor cor-
rection display function which automatically corrects the monitor display to a specific
color space.
With an application with a monitor correction display function such as Adobe
Photoshop ver.5 or later:
Output Color Space: Select the same color space as set in the applica-
tion. With Photoshop ver. 5.0 or later, look in the color-setting option in the
file menu for the profile setup window.
ICC Profile: Use the profile for the monitor in use.
With an application without a monitor correction display function such as
Photoshop Elements, or when the function is disabled:
Output Color Space: Monitor RGB
ICC Profile: Use the profile for the monitor in use.
The ICC profile for a specific monitor should be available from the manufacturer.
These may be downloaded from the manufacturer's web site. See the monitor's
instruction manual on how to install the ICC profile.
Color monitor ICC profiles can be created with one of the profile creation tools on
the market. They can also be created with the monitor-adjustment-assistant function
installed in a Macintosh operating system, or with Adobe gamma included in Adobe
Photoshop (ver. 5.0 or later) for Windows.
