i never use bridge... i usually just select file, open. so i am not familiar with bridge at all.... 

ok, so now i am back to having to edit the photos i took when my camera was set to adobeRGB. my colorspace is photoshop is now appropriately set to sRGB. i open a file in PS (jpg) and its adobeRGB. i used your troubleshooter and opened under bridge, highlighted the effected images, and went to tools, and then Image Processor, but i have NO OPTION BOX that says convert file to sRGB. i do however have the option to select to "Include ICC Profile". what am i doing wrong? and how do i change them all or am i limited to changing each image one at a time?

ok, even with PC? I will install. 

which should i use instead?

this link is not working.... the one that says "here"

ok. thank you. i guess its true that i was just putting out washed out prints for years and no one said a word... i dont know. 

i will get some new prints from WHCC. i am not trying to overthink - i am just trying to understand. my prints are a little warmer than my monitor so can you please just tell me, do i need to calibrate again? when i tried to adjust a little as suggested in your page it would't let me. 

i tried the sypder tune to warm up the monitor a little to better match my prints and i got the message that the change will not be saved. not sure how to get it to save.... 

did you see the pic i sent of the chat and how far off my line is? my prints are warmer than my monitor shots... 

i am having a hard time thinking that ALL the work i was turning out was so bad before? i would like think at least someone would have asked why it was so washed out. or it would look that way on my phone or tablet... 

i am trying to not concentrate on what the viewer looks like, only PS. but i have never seen it so different before. and when i look at photos that i posted on fb, they look horrible. really washed out... but they do not look that way on my phone?? 

my prints seems to be a bit warmer than my screen, but again, my prints were printed when I was probably on AdobeRGB in camera and using an old monitor and (un)calibrated screen. which is why i asked the previous question about why do i try to match these prints. having said that, i am happy with the turnout of the prints.... 

yes, while comparing my prints my light was good. but during the time i had the spyder on the screen my room was not dark DARK... i attached a photo and its not near as close as yours was. 

my room was as dark as i could make it but i dont have blinds only curtains and there is a slider door in the distance letting in light... its a big open space so it was dim but not night time dark.

and i am assuming that my monitor stays on standard? i was under the impression my monitor was supposed to be set at sRGB like my camera and my photoshop? just double checking. 

and one more question is.... if my prints were edited from an (un)calibrated screen and my lab did no color correction, why am i trying to match my prints to my now calibrated monitor? just trying to better understand that part.... 

i just finished, and i made my room as dark as i possibly could. having said that, i had to adjust my brightness all the way down to 2.1 to get it within 4% of the 80 mark. does that seem ok to have it be so low?

i am on part two, installing software. at some point will i be switching my monitor from standard to sRGB? 

I am adjusting brightness according to prints and its looking the best around 4.2 - sound on the low side or sound ok? I know you said that it will appear very dim but just wanted to make sure before moving forward. 

ok so i will get out of their set up wizard. and i just reset all my monitor settings (which pulled me out if sRGB and back to standard). Following your instructions now. 

i am going through the calibration process and when it tells me to set my brightness and its telling me a brightness of 120cd/m^2 and 5800 white point. The brightness on my monitor is 1-10 so I have no idea where to put it. And is white point the same as color temp because my options are 5000 or 6500 or 9300 or user define. Also, its a bit darker right now than it will normally be while editing, if that makes a difference. Thank you! 

Thank you, and I will be sure to donate. Much appreciated. 

I thought I was being pretty thorough but its late and I have been at it all day so its possible I missed something. I will go through it all again tomorrow morning from the top and see what I missed with regards to switching them over one by one or batch... I apologize if you thought I wasn't actually reading everything. I most certainly don't want to be wasting your valuable time. I won't be doing any editing until Wednesday after I get my calibrator anyway... will you be available to help me Wednesday should I need it? 

So sorry to frustrate you! I clicked and moved on. But neither box applied to me as mine did not already look like that, and it didn't give me the option to change until I went through all of the steps and tried to save. Then I saw that the box was written as yours was. 

Will I be making that change for every photo going forward that I want to edit? Switching it from AdobeRGB to sRGB? Or is there a way to do a whole batch? Because as you know when I open the jpgs from my hard drive they are all in AdobeRGB. 

How do I move forward on your troubleshooter?
