File New File Color profile

Question

Hi,I know this issue has been discussed over and over throughout any design forum around. Though I have some questions that are really irritating me. Which I didn't manage to find any answer.Here is the story.I bought a Spyder 5 calibrator and calibrated my Cintiq 24HD. Now my Photoshop color profile is set to the new Spyder 5 profile. And here are my question.1. When I create a new file destined for web do I choose my new profile or choose sRBG.  The reason I'm asking this is because there is a huge difference between the new profile and sRGB. Technically for printing I don't have that big of an issue. I am using the new profile from Spyder5 for RGB and Fogra for CMYK. That part so far works fine. Thanks,Etienne

Do not use the Spyder profile in the document!The document profile should always be a standard profile, sRGB, Adobe RGB etc.The monitor profile is a different animal altogether and has a different purpose. Your Spyder software will set it up at system level, and Photoshop will find it and use it without any intervention from you.In short - don't do anything. Just run the software, done. It's all taken care of.
