7.When your image appears, evaluate the color balance and contrast as displayed on your monitor. If they need improvement, select Image > Mode > Assign Profile (for Photoshop CS and 7) or Edit > Assign Profile (for Photoshop CS2 and CS3). Select one of the following as the Profile setting:

■A different RGB working space, such as ColorMatch RGB or sRGB IEC61966-2.1

■A scanner profile for your scanner

■A camera profile for your digital camera

Also click the Preview box so you can see the effects of your profile choice on the screen.

Tip: This is most effective when your monitor is calibrated using a hardware device such as the X-Rite Eye-One Display 2 or Color vision Spyder2.

8. Click OK.

Note: Assigning a profile to the image doesn’t alter the image data, only the interpretation of the data by your software and how it appears on your monitor and in a printout. This is the best way to improve the color balance and contrast in your image.
