Since we should be very aware of colour presence within photography as it is, post production presents other issues and technicalities that may corrupt or mislead our perception of what colours we actually modify or affect. For example, if we take a picture of a very specific coloured balloon, we could load the image into our computer and we may start editing. The red we now see on the computer screen may be close or far from the original colour of the balloon, and this reflects our Colour Profile.
In Photoshop we may set a colour profile to work with and this colour information can be applied to an image, or the images colour profile may be worked with instead (this profile will be a preset applied to the RAW image file, which is applied by the camera being used). Beyond the Photoshop colour profiles we also have Native display profiles, which applies to the colour our computers(Windows) display.
This can be changed in two ways, one way may be by changing the monitors colour settings changeable on the monitor itself, similarly to a television colour menu. The other colour profile settings may be found on the computer itself, using my own computer as an example, I must simply right click on the desktop and access my intel graphics settings. From here I may go into my display settings and change active colour properties, this may be subject to hardware or software and will require a colour reference to avoid over compensating for certain colours that may be under or over compensated on a different level. I.e, If our monitor seems very yellow but we diminish red and green levels through the Intel settings, not our monitor settings, then our images will look fine on the editing suite, but will look very different when visualised on another computer, or printed.
