Hi,
I'm having a problem with colour calibration in Win7 on a Lenovo ThinkPad. The screen is obviously not going to be as good as a proper colour calibrated display but for a laptop screen it should give good enough - and constant - results.
I've got some ICC/ICM profiles from the lenovo forums, and I have installed one by going
Control Panel > Color Management > "Use my settings" > Add.. > Set as default
I have then rebooted, and enabled colour management in firefox - great, the overly bright logo changes to a more normal shade of orange. I then go into photoshop with a screenshot of the photoshop logo. It is unduly washed out.
To check its not the screenshot causing the issue I save an image and open it in both applications. Firefox with colour management enabled is much more saturated.
If I go into Photoshop and use the monitor profile as "proof" then the image saturation jumps up. Photoshop by default displays in Adobe RGB
My question is as follows; how can my monitor display beyond Adobe RGB, and why are firefox and Photoshop not displaying the same calibrated images?
