Photoshop question: Color profile

[Ross Images]

Keep in mind what you want to do with the image for example i find that on cannon pixima printers the Adobe 1998 RGB colour space prints most accuratly to what you see on screen.

Either you have a PiXMA Pro printer (yummy ) or it must be an incidental affect because even Canon's best of the standard and advanced range of PiXMA printers have a colour space that is smaller than the sRGB gamut. Typically you'd want to use Adobe RGB once you progress to crazy 10 colour printers, or a chemical printer rather than an inkjet. Certainly you won't need AdobeRGB for any printer under about ... the $600 mark (actual figure quoted from a place the sun doesn't shine).

What printer do you have? If it's not one of the Pro series then your results could be indicative of a driver problem.

/EDIT: And to add to that for general info too, if you use a colour space wider than sRGB always keep the file in 16bit.

I tried convert to profile but the final image still looks desaturated. Again, this is not a problem when I am using CS5.

Here's how my CS4 is set up. Also when i save the file i save it with the checkmark in ICC profile box.
