Problems with custom monitor profile

[jeffrey_knight1]

I've been having this problem with my monitor's custom profile and images in

Photoshop CS and CS2.

 

I've used a colorvision spyder to calibrate my monitor and at the end of the

process I end up with a custom profile.

 

I set Photoshop's "working space" to Adobe RGB. I also instruct Photoshop to

"preserve embedded profiles" when working with files.

 

All very well and good so far, n'est pas?

 

The trouble is when I open any image with an attached profile (such as a .jpeg

straight from the camera, or a RAW taken through ACR) into Photoshop, the colors

end up super-saturated.

 

I suspect my profiling program and spyder might be no good. Is this the case or

am I doing something else wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Did you disable Adobe Gamma in your computer's startup menu?

[jeffrey_knight1]

Yes I did. The only thing in the startup menu is the profiling software.

Next question is, what profile are you shooting in, and if not Adobe RGB, are you converting it in ACR for RAW, in PS for JPEG?

[jeffrey_knight1]

.jpegs from the camera are in sRGB, while I've converted RAWs into sRGB, Adobe, and even ProphotoRGB with all the same results.
