STEP 2 : Opening Your Image File
Next,  open your image file and choose the proper conversion option.  If your image file already 
contains a profile that matches the Color Settings you’ve selected in Step 1 or if your image file is 
in LAB space,  then the image will come right up.  If not,  then Photoshop will display this dialog:
In order to open your image file properly,  you should NOT convert your data file.  Instead, select 
“Leave as is (don’t color manage)”.  The less color conversions you perform on your data file 
before printing the better.
Whenever you ask Photoshop to convert color using this dialog box,  you will be modifying your 
image file forever.  Depending upon how you created your image file,  you may be limiting the 
quality of the actual image!  
However,  if you know what you’re doing,  then select “Assign working RGB:  Adobe RGB (1998)” 
or assign a different profile using the “Assign profile:” radio button.
Photoshop will then perform any color conversions and open your file into a window.

What color space should I calibrate my 
monitor to?
The answer to this question will vary,  but 
I prefer to calibrate all my Macintosh and 
Windows monitors to 2.2 gamma and at 
6500 degrees Kelvin. 
For Macintosh users, a gamma of 1.8 at 
5000 degrees Kelvin also works well,  
but the monitor’s color takes some time     
getting used to.
Since most monitors are in a 2.2 gamma 
naturally,  then calibrating to this setting is 
usually the best.
By making sure your operating system 
and application software understands how 
your monitor is displaying color,  you will 
make better color decisions using your 
montor before commiting them to paper.
