You have no reason not to set this to sRGB for the simple reason that this only applies for files that you create new. The working profile should always be the profile you're most likely to ultimately publish. If you're shooting RAW it's that Camera Profile tab that no one ever scrolls down to in Adobe CameraRAW. If you're shooting JPEG you're never exposed to it. The input profile should be of no real concern. These are the input profile (embedded in the RAW processor to convert the RAW sensor data into meaningful colours), the working profile (what your file currently is set to) and your output profile. There are three profiles you need to concern yourself with in colour managed workflow. That defeats the purpose of generating a monitor profile to begin with. Well that doesn't make sense since what you shoot in is ultimately to become your working space and you should never calibrate your monitor to another colour space than it's native space. This is compounded by the statement that you should shoot in the space you've calibrated for. Firstly the working profile has nothing to do with the monitor profile. This is a very very common problem I see mentioned around the internet. When you open an image and get the Embedded Profile Mismatch popup, make sure you select "Use the embedded profile." Since you shoot in sRGB and you calibrated your monitor to sRGB, you want to view the photos as sRGB, not anything else. sRGB.Īlso in Color Settings under Color Management Policies, make sure "ask when opening" next to Profile Mismatches is checked. Make sure you're shooting in the same color space you've calibrated for, i.e. Also make sure you have Monitor Color under Settings selected. This forces PS to use the same profile your monitor does. In Photoshop under Color Settings make sure your working space is set to Monitor RGB. Make sure it's set as the default profile.

In Windows set your monitor's color profile to the one created with Spyder 3 Pro. D0wn wrote: I'm assuming you calibrated your monitor to sRGB.
