Trying to get my scanner, camera, monitor and printer all talking and working together in a colorsync managed workflow.
Anybody got any good links to sites showing tutorials on how this can be done?

Use Adobe Bridge.

yeah I have that set up ok for creative suite cs4, its just that I dont know which RGB setting to choose when scanning.
Do I choose: ADOBE RGB (1998) ?

buy a spyder and calibrate your screen. use that profile.

I have a Pantone Huey Pro that I use tio calibrate my screen. So the profile that its created for me, your saying I should use that as my RGB working space in CS4?

Yes.

This really is the one major obstacle that nobody seems to want to touch. Color management is a huge issue, but there is no perfect solution. Neither Apple nor Adobe seem fully committed to making the process user-friendly.

you shouldn't be using a monitor profile as a working space in photoshop....

Plug them all in precisely at the SAME TIME! Works like a charm or a wet dream.

nope I didn't think so either sikma, was told ADOBE RGB 1998 was best when working with print as less colours drop out of gamut when converting to cmyk.

Yeah, the thing about color management is, whenever you have the simplest question, the person says, "here go read this book." Or, "here, go read this article."
AND ALL I WANT TO KNOW IS HOW TO SET THE THING. I DON'T WANT TO KNOW ANY THEORIES OR MAKE ANY DECISIONS. JUST TELL ME HOW TO SET THE FUCKER.
Capice?
