Along these same lines, can someone tell me how to confirm that Photoshop 6.0
is indeed using the latest monitor calibration/profile? It was easy in 5.5.
How is it confirmed in 6.0?
Go toEdit> Color Settings>RGB, and look at the Monitor RGB entry --
it lists the profile name.
Or does it simply use the profile selected in ColorSync "System Profile"?
Yes, it uses the System Profile (prior to 3.0) or Display Profile (3.0 and up).
I asked Thomas Knoll about the reported discrepancies (which I
haven't personally experienced) between 5.0 and 6 display. He offered
the following as possibilities:
1. The logic to estimate black points from profiles has been improved.
2. The black point mapping itself is now performed in XYZ rather than
Lab space.
3. If the OS specifies a monitor profile that does not map white to
near white, Photoshop 6 ignores it.
In addition, all the display transforms are now directly from
document space to monitor RGB. In 5.x, the path was always document
space to working RGB to monitor RGB.
In my experience, the differences in display between 5 and 6 can only
be detected by subtracting one screen grab from another. But others
experiences may, of course, vary.
