Photoshop CS2 Color Setting

[coolokoy_me]

Good day!

The question is "What is the Best Color Setting for Photoshop CS2?". I am having difficulty on how to manage the colors in Photoshop because i dont know what the best setting. The color of an image in the windows explorer is different when i open it in photoshop and also the color in photoshop is different from the print out.

Please help...

that depends on what your document is for, screen (web) or print?

definitely...

or i should say, what's the default color setting for graphic designers who usually used photoshop for printing purposes..

I have my CS2 set for 'Let Photoshop determine colors' in the Print Preview dialogue which produces prints closer to the screen version. It's still a tad darker but not as bad when the printer determines colours.

This might help :)

Letting Photoshop determine the colours is the best in IMO. I once set it to do CMKY and it was horrible. So stick with "Let Photoshop Determine Colors"

print = cmyk. if you're pro;)
let photoshop determine yada yada. lol, i tried cmyk once and if you don't have a cmyk printer, chances are, it'll turn out horrible;)

Correct. Also the paper you print it on also determines what the photo is going to look like. I use Canon paper. Canon FTW
