Monitor calibration is critical for photographers, graphic designers and anyone who looks at images on a screen. If your display isn’t properly calibrated, the colors you see onscreen won’t be accurate, which can lead to bad color management when printing out images.
Photoshop has a built-in tool for calibrating displays, but it only works with certain types of monitors.
How Do I Check Pixels in Photoshop?
To check the pixels on your monitor in Photoshop, go to View > Proof Setup > Custom. This will open up the Color Settings dialog box. In the drop-down menu next to Color Management Policies, choose Off. Then click OK.
Now go to View > Proof Colors. This will cause Photoshop to display colors using your monitor’s current color profile. If the colors look off, it means your monitor isn’t properly calibrated.
To calibrate your monitor, you’ll need to use a calibration tool. These are usually external devices that you attach to your monitor.
Once they’re attached, they run a series of tests to determine the best color settings for your display. Many calibration tools also come with software that you can use to further adjust the colors on your screen.
Once you’ve calibrated your monitor, you can go back into Photoshop and change the Color Management Policies setting back to Relative Colorimetric. This will cause Photoshop to use the new color profile for your monitor when displaying colors.
Conclusion:
In order to ensure that the colors you see onscreen in Photoshop are accurate, you need to calibrate your monitor using a calibration tool. Once your monitor is calibrated, you can adjust the Color Management Policies setting in Photoshop to use the new color profile for your display.
