What color profile to set in photoshop cs4 on lenovo t60p laptop?
Does anyone know how to get the colors right? cos they seem to be different in photoshop when i edit, different when i open raw image, different in bridge.. Is it possible that its the screen that messes the colors up? i tried everything!

One of my notebooks is a Lenovo. The brand notebook really does not have much to do with managing colour in Photoshop. What is important is that 1) you use some kind of monitor calibration tool and 2) use a colour workspace that matches the final output. Final output: Photographic prints or use on the Internet = sRGB at 300 PPI Print media (magazines and other printed material) = RGBAdobe (150 PPI for magazines, 80 PPI for newspapers) The least expensive monitor calibration tool is the Pantone Huey http://reviews.cnet.com/desktop-monitors-displays-accessories/pantone-huey/4505-6513_7-31792026.html While the Colour RGB workspace is sRGB, once you establish a new ICC profile for your monitor using your monitor calibration tool, that new profile will become the standardized RGB workspace used on that computer Here is a book you will find to be one you will eventually want to buy, but for now, look for it in your local library. CMYK 2.0 by Rick McCleary http://www.luminous-landscape.com/essays/cmyk2.shtml This book describe in detail how to manage colour workspaces and how to become the guardian of colour while the image files are in your custody. http://www.luminous-landscape.com/essays/cmyk2.shtml
