Problems with colour profiles

Question

Hi,
Since I reinstalled Win7 and Photoshop, every time I open a document it is in the "working RGB" colour profile, which makes the document whitish. So I have to assign another profile, namely the one associated with my monitor.
But I have to do this every time I open a document, even if it's the same document !
Is there a way to tell Photoshop that I want him to open all documents with my monitor's profile ?

Answer 1

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}

I would love to recalibrate my monitor but what does that mean exactly ?
Generally this involves the purchase of a separate mesurement device to measure the colors of your monitor, and attendant software to create a profile and put it in the right place for your color-managed applications to use.
There are upsides and downsides to doing this (for example, a calibrated/profiled system will almost always show the same image differently in different applications, depending on which is color-managed).  You should try to read up on Color Management and really understand what it's all about - and weigh that against your goals.
Notably Windows ships with sRGB as the default monitor profile, probably because this is a minimum common denominator setup and it does provide somewhat more consistency.  It may not be as valid as it used to be, as modern monitor capabilities exceed the sRGB space by ever more, however.
