How to get color proof to stay on

Absolutely. There is no doubt whatsoever that the problem here is the monitor profile, not Photoshop.

Encouraging people to hide the problem by disabling color management is not something we should be doing here. That solves nothing, on the contrary, it's a fast track to deeper and deeper problems.

I'm pretty sure that this is caused by a defective monitor profile, the yellow cast in the white patch in the Color panel as well as the Hue cube is a giveaway.

Hi

1: you can't get proof setup to be on for newly opened images

2: proofing to monitor RGB means something is wrong, I think it's most likely the monitor display profile that’s faulty

- proofing to monitor RGB is not the way to deal with this properly

Try this and pleasee let us know how it goes:

Display profile issues 

At least once a week on this forum we read about this, or very similar issues of appearance differing between applications.

Unfortunately, with Microsoft hardware: Windows updates, Graphics Card updates and Display manufacturers have a frustratingly growing reputation for installing useless (corrupted) monitor display profiles.

I CAN happen with Macs but with far less likelyhood, it seems.

The issue can affect different applications in different ways, some not at all, some very badly.

The poor monitor display profile issue is hidden by some applications, specifically those that do not use colour management, such as Microsoft Windows "Photos".

Photoshop is correct, it’s the industry standard for viewing images, in my experience it's revealing an issue with the Monitor Display profile rather that causing it. Whatever you do, don't ignore it. As the issue isn’t caused by Photoshop, don’t change your Photoshop ‘color settings’ to try fix it. 

If you want to rule out pretty much the only issue we ever see with Photoshop, you can reset preferences, I never read of a preferences issue causing this problem though:

To reset the preferences in Photoshop:

Note: Make sure that you back up all your custom presets, brushes & actions before restoring Photoshop's preferences. Migrate presets, actions, and settings

To find out if this is the issue, I recommend you to try setting the monitor profile for your own monitor display under “Device” in your Windows ‘color management’ control panel to sRGB. You can ADD sRGB if its not already listed. 

And be sure to check “Use my settings for this device”.

(OR, if you have a wide gamut monitor display (check the spec online) it’s better to try Adobe RGB instead).

Quit and relaunch Photoshop after the control panel change, to ensure the new settings are applied.

If this change fixes the issue, it is recommended that you should now calibrate and profile the monitor properly using a calibration sensor like i1display pro, which will create and install it's own custom monitor profile. The software should install it’s profile correctly so there should be no need to manual set the control panel once you are doing this right. 

Depending on the characteristics of your monitor display and your requirements, using sRGB or Adobe RGB here may be good enough - but custom calibration is a superior approach.

I hope this helps

if so, please "like" my reply and if you're OK now, please mark it as "correct", so that others who have similar issues can see the solution

thanks

You have a defective monitor profile, probably delivered by a Windows update.

Windows 10 is known to install low quality profiles from monitor manufacturers when doing updates.

Photoshop relies on a sound and correct monitor profile to display correct colors.  When you use View>Proof Setup>Monitor RGB, you are bypassing the monitor profile, and disabling color management, which sort of "fixes" the issue.

Try setting the monitor profile to sRGB (use Adobe RGB if you have a wide gamut monitor).

If this fixes the issue, it is recommended that you calibrate the monitor with a hardware calibrator.

This will also create and install a custom monitor profile that accurately describes your monitor.

Press the Windows key + R, type colorcpl in the box, and press Enter.

Add the sRGB profile, then set it as default.

If Photoshop is running, it has to be restarted to become aware of the new profile.

"I found a way to fix that by doing View>Proof Setup>Monitor RGB"

That means you have a broken monitor profile.

Proof to Monitor RGB temporarily disables color management and bypasses the broken profile.

Fix the profile and there's no need to proof. The proper way is to use a calibrator, but if you don't have one, use sRGB for now.

You may have to do something like this:

Create an action, record the menu selection of the required proof setup (in this case I am using a custom setup for Fogra39/ISO Coated v2). Stop recording and use the actions panel menu option for "Insert menu command" and select the View > Proof colours menu option (you may need to toggle this twice).

Then use File > Scripts > Scripts Events Manager to use this action every time an image is opened.

EDIT: Sorry I did not read correctly and missed that the proofing was for monitor RGB, as my background is in prepress I naturally assumed something else!

Hi check the following article link it is already discussed hope it helps you....regards
