Black and White in Photoshop CS3 and Photoshop Lightroom make a few adjustments in brightness and contrast during the process. The profile created then tells other applications (like Photoshop) how to convert or translate the color settings embedded from the capture device so that the image is displayed accurately on the monitor. | Black and White in Photoshop CS3 and Photoshop Lightroom make a few adjustments in brightness and contrast during the process.

How often should I calibrate Just like you may want to change the oil in your vehicle every 3000 miles or wax and edge your skis to maximize their optimum performance periodically a monitor needs the same kind of regular tune-ups and care to perform well over time. Monitors should be calibrated every 2-4 weeks depending on the amount of usage. For the most accurate results be sure to let the monitor warm up for at least 30 minutes in order to stabilize before calibration is performed. Periodic calibration will help maintain consistent color display on the monitor over time. Settings for calibration will vary depending on your output. If you are working in your own closed loop system - that is your own camera printer and monitor - our best recommendation would be to work with daylight settings 6500 K and Gamma as a starting point for most users. This setting is usually best for working with Adobe 1998. If working with Piezography inks results have often been more accurate using a D-50 or 5000 K calibration setting. You will need to experiment to find the best settings consistent with your workflow and output variables. IV. Software Set photoshop color management policies and color working spaces The next step in our color management system is to set up the software color policies to interpret the color information correctly on your calibrated monitor Just like the choices we have in setting the digital camera to a specific color capture space we will want to set Photoshop policies to match the camera capture settings. There are very few image browsers that offer control over the viewing color space. Instead most software applications can
