Step 1: Open Adobe Photoshop

Step 2: Check Color Settings
Open ‘Edit’ then ‘Color Settings’. You can observe that North America General Purpose 2 is the default option. This is your failsafe; if your tests fail, simply choose the default from this menu, and your Color Settings will be restored.

Step 3: Setting the Location
Choosing a setting is often the first step for many people. There are other options for Europe, Japan, and North America, with three divisions for each region: General Purpose, Prepress, and Web or Internet. But regardless of your region, setting ‘General Purpose’ is the best option if you are new to color management.

Step 4: Adjusting Color Management
It’s a good idea to match the Gamma of your greys to that of your RGB color. When your RGB working space is sRGB, click on the Gray menu under Working Spaces and pick Gray Gamma 2.2 to match your gammas.

Step 5: Save the Color Settings as a Preset
In the Color Settings box, click ‘Save’ then a save window will open. MS Windows users will see a different window; give your preset a name that you can readily recognize or differentiate from the other pre-existing presets. Do not modify the place where the preset is saved.
