There was a discussion about this here on this list recently and what I
retained follows and it confirms other information I have.
If you reconnect a second monitor while computer is asleep you may need
to open the displays preferences/ color to ensure that the right
profile is being used - that is my experience. I also tend to check
that it is using the correct profile for each display, since I move my
powerbook between three different additional displays and it can get
confused.
(one at my desk, one at my digital camera, one at home - all profiled)
Photoshop and many other ICC savvy applications will utilize the
monitor profile for the display the image is shown on. Photoshop will
even be correct if you put part of the image on one display and the
rest on the other display.
It does not matter where the menu bar is and there is no setting up and
no tricks...
You say when you check the color settings in Photoshop it lists the
built in display for "monitor".
I cant figure out where this setting would be unless you mean the
following:
If in color settings in PS - I pick "color management off" then the
working spaces for RGB shows "Monitor RGB" and the name I gave it.
This would be of concern - you want color management to be in effect -
better to choose "US prepress default" - the working RGB space should
be Adobe RGB (1998) or another large gamut color space ( which becomes
another discussion topic ). I'm a photographer and have chosen.
RGB working space as Adobe RGB 1998 - CMYK working space U.S. Web
Coated (SWOP) v2
and gray space I never use - chosing instead to treat Black and White
images in RGB.
sRGB would be your working space if you are doing web graphics
Hope this helps....

I'm setting up a new Powerbook to use an Eizo Coloredge LCD for the
main editing display. I've run the calibrations and both the built in
screen and the Eizo show their correct profiles in the monitors
preference pane. But, when I check the color settings in Photoshop it
lists the built in display for "monitor". Despite this, images seem to
be displaying correctly at first glance. Will Photoshop automatically
recognize unique profiles for multi displays and switch which it uses
as an image is moved from one screen to another? Is there any trick to
setting this up? Is the monitor profile displayed in color settings
determined by which screen has the menu bar? I'd like to use the built
in display for menus and palettes.
Thanks for any advice.
