Hi,

I´ve just switched from Aperture 3 to Capture One 6.x and havent looked back since. The files after RAW converting is so much finer.

My question : I've calibrated my screen using the X-rite. Afterwards i save the profile and call it XX.

In Capture One i now have to chose a profile for color. The profile i would like i sRGB, as i use it for stockphoto. But will my screencalibration still show me the correct color. Is the calibration taking in the fact, that im using sRGB, and not the new saved profile?

Is it even a demand to save a new color profile after calibration?

  Yes.
  Capture One uses your default monitor profile to soft-proof the image with your selected ICC (sRGB in this case). So if 'XX" is saved as the default monitor profile (you can check in colorsync) then you're all set.

  Hi Drew
  
  Thanks for the answer. To be sure I've got it right : When i check the colorsyng it says : "Generic RBG". Does that mean, that i have to use the Generic RGB insted of sRGB or my own color profile?

  Hi Stefan,
  
  When I read your posts I think you still do not get the basics of color management. Never mind, if you are interested there is a lot of interesting stuff on the net.
  
  Main part of the confusion I read in your posts is that you seem to think that you have to link the monitor profile (from the calibration) to your output profile in Capture One (a.k.a. color space profile). Let it go. The color management in Capture One and your Mac is taking care of that.
  
  Bottom-line is that:
  1-You calibrate your monitor and create a profile for it ('XX' in your example). You can check whether it is applied with ColorSync utility, Devices tab, Displays, monitor name. Your profile should be selected as Current Profile. If it is not, select it yourself here.
  
  2-You select your sRGB profile in CO6's output recipe. Any color managed application - like CO6 - will take care that the colors are displayed correct on your monitor by translating the color information from one profile to the other.
  
  I hope this makes sense.
