Here is a quick look at the color profile interface of Photoshop Elements 3. It is a bit different than full Photoshop, but certainly offers all of the parts necessary for profile use.
To begin, we are going to modify the color settings of Photoshop Elements. This means we are taking it out of "auto-pilot" mode to some extent, and will apply a little more depth to the color management preferences.
Although the change is not totally necessary for profile usage, we feel it is best based on experience.
Stop! If you are uncomfortable with changing system settings of this program - stop here!
| 1) Go to the Edit Menu » Color Settings |  |
2) Choose the Full Color Management setting. In short, this assigns the Adobe RGB working space as the primary working space for Photoshop. It is the preferred space for most users of full Photoshop and is best for inkjet printing in general. You will be given an option every time you open a file to use Adobe RGB, the space embedded in the file, or no assigned space.

3) When you print an image, the Print with Preview menu appears. Check the "Show More Option" box near bottom left Use the Print Space drop down menu to chooe the printer profile you need. Under Intent, you can choose either Relative Colorimetric or Perceptual. At this point, you move on to your printer's properties and set them up as indicated by our profile setup instructions located here.
