ENDQUOTE If I understand you correctly you are referring here to matching a print to the screen display? I am not concerned about matching my monitor display with a print. The print and my monitor display via PS CS do match using a correct light source for viewing the prints. > Note it says ' Windows color matching method' which as I understand it > is primarily sRGB from end to end. > If you look in the Color Settings dialogue for PS you will see that > there is a Microsoft ICM engine available as an alternative to > Adobe(ACE) Thanks Tony for that idea, I changed the PS Color Settings dialogue to use the Microsoft ICM engine, to my amazement it made no difference to the situation! That is PS still continues to display the image correctly as before when using the Adobe engine (i.e. it matches the print made from that file on a Lambda) and the Windows Explorers display is incorrect. Thanks for these thoughts.
