Color Calibration:​

1. Monitor Calibration: Ensure that your monitors are properly calibrated for accurate color representation. You can use the built-in Windows color calibration tool to adjust settings.
2. Color Profiles: Check and set the correct color profiles for your monitors. Each monitor should have the appropriate ICC color profile installed and selected in the display settings.

   Application Settings:​

3. Photoshop CS5:
   • Proof Setup: In Photoshop CS5, go to "View" > "Proof Setup" and ensure that the appropriate proof setup is selected (like sRGB or Adobe RGB).
   • Color Settings: Check your color management settings in Photoshop (Edit > Color Settings) to make sure they are set correctly for your workflow.
   []Windows Photo Viewer:
   • Check the color profile settings in Windows Photo Viewer. You can right-click on an image, go to "Open With," then choose "Choose default program." Select Windows Photo Viewer and make sure the color profile settings are appropriate.
   []Fireworks CS5:
   • Fireworks CS5 might handle color differently due to its unique color management. Make sure your color settings in Fireworks are consistent with your workflow requirements.

     Monitor Configuration:​

4. Dual Monitor Setup: Verify that the dual monitor setup is configured correctly in Windows display settings. Ensure both monitors are set to mirror each other in terms of color profiles and calibration.

   Additional Tips:​

   • Check GPU Settings: Review your NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260 settings to ensure they are not interfering with color management. Look for any color enhancement or correction settings and try disabling them.
   • Update Drivers: Make sure that your GPU drivers are up to date. Check NVIDIA's website for the latest drivers for your GTX 260 GPUs to ensure optimal performance.
   Color management can be complex, but with proper calibration, settings adjustments, and consistency across applications, you should be able to achieve more consistent and accurate color representation in your web design work.
