question is still open, let me try to answer it.
First, it doesn't matter if you use a PC or a Mac. You still have to perform the same color management. The college I go to has Macs. They have to be calibrated in exactly the same way as my PC at home.
First, the monitor. It has to be calibrated. If you use Photoshop, a rather crude calibration tool is supplied with it. We are taught that it is far better to use a calibration tool to set up the monitor. I use the MonacoEZColor system with the OPTIX-XR PRO device. This device is suspended in front of the monitor while software fires a series of known colors at it. Based on what it 'sees', it creates a profile for the monitor which will allow the monitor to display colors accurately. The profile is passed to the operating system which uses it to determine how colors are displayed. The profile is used independently of your photo software. Competing devices are available from GretagMcBeth, and, I think, from Pantone. The monitor will drift out of alignment, so recalibration needs to be done on a regular basis.
That allows an image to be accurately displayed although your imaging software will also get into the act via your choice of color space to be used when working with the image. The Adobe RGB(199
color space is usually recommended. Photoshop also is able to simulate how an image will look when printed using a particular ink and paper combination. It can also simulate some choices of presses used to print images. It does, however, need printer/display profiles before it can simulate the appearance. I don't know what abilities are present in your Paint Shop software. The basic idea is that some displayed colors are outside the gamut available for printing. Corrections may be needed to prevent problems.
Finally, if the image is printed, a conversion needs to be done to determine how to accurately convert the image to printed form. Again, a profile is needed for the printer/ink/paper combination to tell the software how to convert the image for an accurate rendition. Higher end Epson printers, for example, are shipped with profiles for the various Epson papers which can be used with the printer. If no profile is available, it can be constructed by color measuring equipment. Monaco/X-Rite has such equipment, but it is, unfortunately, fairly expensive. Epson printer drivers will usually apply the profiles, but can be told not to do so. In that case, the software (i.e. Photoshop) printing the image must apply the printer profile. Severe color problems occur if the profile is applied twice; once by the imaging software, and a second time by the printer driver. As before, I don't know how all this works in Paint shop.
How do you know what profiles are being used? In my system, I right click on the PC screen and select Properties. One of the tabs in Properties is 'Settings'. In 'Settings', I click on the 'Advanced' button. One of the Advanced tabs is 'Color Management'. It tells me what profile is being used for the monitor. My video card is a fairly high powered one (ATI 9700 Pro AIW), so you may not have this final set of tabs. In that case, I can only suggest a bit of research to find out how one finds the monitor profile Windows is using.
How do you know what driver is being used? The printer driver is the one which comes up every time you print something. It should have a tab or button which says properties. Explore those to see if there is any sign of a color profile or type of paper being used. By paper, I mean something like 'Epson Premium Glossy' or 'Epson Enhanced Matte'. If you see that, that's how you select the profile. If you don't, the printer probably doesn't offer that level of control. In that case, you may have to go back to Paintshop to see if it supports printer profiles.
