how to disable color management in CS2?
|
|
|
| I had my monitor and printer set up so that no color management in the photo
editor works well.
I just upgraded to photoshop CS2 and by default it has color management. How
can I turn it all off?

It will work even better in Photoshop with color management turned on
though, especially if you need to look at others work or need to send
out files to be viewed or printed elsewhere ...

You can set it to ignore the monitor icc profile by opening Photoshop
and do View - Proof Setup and click on 'monitor RGB', then close
Photoshop without opening a file. This will become your default. You
can tell it to ignore profile mismatches etc with Edit - Color Settings
and unchecking the boxes in the 'color management settings' section and
in the RGB etc dropdowns select 'off'. This is for CS, it might be
different for CS2.
In the long run most people find it's better to simply calibrate and
characterize their monitors and use color management, especially if
sending files out to be printed elsewhere, but if you're just
outputting to a single printer and you get accurate prints and a close
match between screen and print then I can see why you might want to
turn it off ...

| Thanks.
One reason I want it off is because I want the photos to look the same
whether I put it in photoshop, word processor, web browser, or as a screen
background, etc. Since not all apps have color management, the only solution
I know is to adjust the monitor and printer drivers themselves. I wish color
management is applied at the OS level, not just in a few software.

i havent been following this thread, so I'm not sure if you are on
Windows or Mac. However, on Windows, when i am working on images whose
ultimate destination is to be viewed in some sort of microsoft app or
system utility (which includes screen bg), I set my photoshop color
settings differently, and its very easy. Just go to color settings,
RGB, and pull down to Monitor RGB. When i use this, photoshop tends to
display images very similar to what they will look like as windows
wallpaper and very close to how they would display in powerpoint or
microsoft word. It might not be perfect, but its close and easy.

Goto edit and choose color setting
(shortcut keys"shift+ctrl+k)
then choose setting at the top dialog box
choose color management off...
there you have it plain and simple.....

This is correct for earlier versions of Photoshop. In CS2 the setting for
minimal color management is called Monitor RGB.
