PC and windows XP, Photoshop7. I've now found where the profiles go (WINDOWS\system32\Color) and the one I created for the monitor I selected in Colour Management (in the advanced settings of 'display properties'). Now when I open up PS it says 'The monitor profile appears to be defective. Please rerun your monitor calibration software' with 2 options 'ignore profile' or 'use anyway' - the latter I chose once and the colours were pretty wrong, so for the mo now I'm just choosing to ignore profile. So my main problems now are: 1. I have no idea if the profile I'm creating (which I've done so far with the software that came with the monitor 'NAtural Colour') is 'correct' and if to use something else instead. 2. Why, if I've selected that profile in the moitor settings it's saying it's wrong in PS (by the way there was nothing selected in that area before I selected my monitor profile...would it just have defaulted to one before?).
