U2410, Preset modes and color profiles (#2)
Hi! I have similar question. Which PRESET mode to choose to maintain proper colors on my screen? I'm a photographer and need proper color representation not only for printing but also for digital displaying. I need my photos look similar on different monitors. "Adobe RGB" preset looks too saturated for me and "sRGB" is too faded and a bit greenish. I have latest monitor driver installed and my Windows 8.1 shows that DELL U2410 Color Profile, D6500 (default) installed as well. Do I need to choose STANDARD preset mode in LCD color menu? And which color profile do I have to select in Adobe Photoshop? The same as system: DELL U2410 Color Profile, D6500? I don't need photos on my LCD to look like they're printed I need to get maximum truthful color reproduction from digital file. I'm using Nikon cameras in sRGB color mode. Sorry but I'm totally confused with all of these color spaces! Once again, If I select U2410 color profile in windows display settings then which PRESET should be selected in monitor's menu STANDARD, SRGB, ADOBE RGB? And which color setting then should be selected in Photoshop: Monitor, sRGB, Adobe RGB??? I tried to call DELL technical support but didn't get any useful information (the same as in my display manual).

I use Lightroom, not full Photoshop, so I'm not 100% sure, but if you are talking about the "Working Color Space", then it's actually not that important. You should just set it to something the same or bigger than the files you are working on, which you said were sRGB. Also, it's probably better to use a device independent color space (so do not set it to your Dell U2410 profile). So you should set the working color space to sRGB or Adobe RGB. What is important is that you always preserve the embedded profile of any file that you open, and also never assign an incorrect profile to a file which does not have an embedded profile.
