sRGB and Soft Proof for Monitor

You might want to start a new thread for this, it sounds like you're having a different problem.

Thanks to all...it's certainly a confusing problem.

After searching on all forums I could think of I found an old thread discussion the same problem...

On this thread Racc's solution was to work with Colour Management turned off when preparing any work for the web... I had stumbled across this possible approach too.

While MattMatic's eventual solution was to strip all the profiles from his Display Colour Management Settings...which sounds like doing the same thing and making your display non colour managed (like a web browser)...but not sure what it would do for one's printing.

So the question is are these really the best solutions...it sounds like it may be more of a problem with LCD screens, but any further suggestions would be very welcome.

Many thanks again for all help already offered,

Cheers,

Paul

To anyone who gets this far I recommend reading this thread...very educational....particularly Rishi's responses to my questions.

You have to get the color management to work for any consistent results.
Not running it to mimick the Internet viewing conditions is the WRONG way to see the results.
With a properly calibrated monitor (Gamm 2.2/6500k/Lum 120) you can keep your system optimized for any condition and soft proof in PS for any environment. But it all starts with a properly calibrated monitor WITH color management working.
Not quite sure about getting the PC environment to work right but I hear Eye-One Match will get it in there right on a PC.
