Photoshop actually has nothing to do with your monitor profile (ICM). It simply uses it; if you tell it to.


Right-click the desktop and choose Properties. Then the "Settings" tab, then the "Advanced" tab, and then the "Colour Management" tab. Provided you've downloaded a profile for your monitor from your manufacturer, and installed it, you can now click the "Add" tab below the file list window. Windows should open you into a folder containing various types of ICM files. From that collection, choose the one matching/meant for your monitor make & model.

Make sure you match your model exactly.

If you don't see/have a profile in that list, then you need to get one from the manufacturer's Website. Look under "Drivers" or within their "Support" section.

Many thanks

Ive just bought a monitor calibration device (gretag eye one)
and wanted to check that photoshop was looking for it in the same place as the eye one software put it.
