SpectraView II - Can I have multiple calibration profiles?

Dear Everyone:

I've got a nifty monitor that comes uses Spectraview II and the NEC calibration puck -- It is terrific, I calibrated the monitor for print and it gave me very close print emulation on my monitor.

However I do work both for print and for the internet (ads, banners, etc.) When I create a banner in photoshop and then optimize it for the web, the resulting jpeg is often quite different in color from the psd file.

To solve this problem I recalibrated the monitor for rgb. However, that overwrote the print calibration profile, the NEC software did not give me the option to save it in addition to the print profile.

I do not want to go through the entire calibration process every time I switch from working for print to internet.

Does anyone know if it is possible to save multiple calibration profiles that I can switch in system preferences?

THANKS!

Isnt it just easier to choose a profile in photoshop go to edit> assign profile > Have just done some hardware upgrades and decided to reinstall windows so not sure if that is the right menu setting path but I am sure you can work it out. reinstalling photoshop is my next task.
 
  1. Close anything that is open in Photoshop and click Edit > Color Settings. From there switch the color profile to Monitor Color and uncheck Ask When Opening.
  2. Click View > Proof Setup > Monitor RGB
  3. Now when clicking Save for Web, uncheck Convert to sRGB. This item may be a check box or underneath the little arrow on the top right depending on Photoshop version
