Ulf,
Thanks for the response. You can check what Photoshop sees as the
monitor profile by clicking and holding on the RGB working space button
in the color settings dialog. Look up the list and you'll see an entry
for monitor and the colorsync RGB preference.
Thanks,
David

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.
David
