I'm using ps3 and after loading my pics from my camera into photoshop i get this message on every photo that i open. I use the spyder2 to calibrate my montor and have that set as my default profile. In photoshop it shows the embedded sRGB and some number. Is there a setting that i can change that will change the photos to the spyderexpress 2 profile in photoshop. Thanks

Do not use your monitor profile as your working space choose sRGB or Adobe RGB

Patricia,

Your Spyder profile "works" even if it isn't set as your working space.

The two have very different purposes. The monitor profile is there to "translate" your standard working space to the peculiar particulars of your specific monitor. If you use that as your working space you won't notice anything wrong on your own system, but wait till you try to show your pictures on another computer...

In other words, it defeats the whole purpose of calibration.

Thanks for explaining that to me.I would never get that message pop until i calibrated monitor with the spyder and saved the profile. I had no idea how it works. So i will select the sRGB from now on.
Thanks

The nice thing about the Spyder is that you just run it and forget about it. You don't have to do anything.

sRGB is pretty fail-safe as a working space and the best choice until you get more experienced.
