Are there any good detailed reference texts on color management  that 
you would recommend.

Thanks in advance.

not necessary. it is necessay to enable color management by having a chosen
working space in Photoshop and converting everything that is tagged with a
known color space to that one on input. if a file isn't tagged with a color
space and it's from a digital camera, you can assume that it is sRGB. sRGB
is an IEC standard. the different types of sRGB given by a camera are to
tell it how to modify the captured color before saving in sRGB in the file
on the memory card. if your camera supports it, Adobe RGB is a wider gamut
color space and gives better results when printing although it looks flatter
on the screen. if this is the case, your working space in Photoshop should
be Adobe RGB. if it isn't your working space should be sRGB. one of the
problems with Paintshop Pro is that ir assumes sRGB and provides no means to
map from anything else to sRGB. another is that it provides no means to
perform even a rough calibration of your monitor. if you can calibrate your
monitor independently of Paintshop Pro, it can do proper color management on
printing. Photoshop Elements and Picture Window Pro are two of the lower end
programs that do adequate color management for display while you are
working.

So it's best then if you can have the camera color space set to the same
color space as PS? And would sRBG on a camera be the same as sRBG in a
   

Photoshop?
 

(Hope that's the right color space acronym.) Is it standardized enough to
   

be
 

the same? Or about the same?
