I wanted to try to do a quick monitor calibration using the AdobeGamma.cpl file. I have the book "The Photoshop Elements 6 Book" by Scott Kelby and Matt Kloskowski. In the book they explain how to do this, but they suggest using the profile installed for your monitor. My monitor is an older CRT, Mag 986FS, monitor and its profile file is not an .icc but an .icm file. The Calibrator will not recognize the .icm file. Am I just out of luck with trying this? If I keep it on the default Adobe profile, at one point it tells me the Phosphors is HDTV and I know that’s not accurate for an older monitor like this. I don’t know what else to select since I can’t load the actual profile for my monitor.
I plan to eventually get a hardware calibrator like Spyder or X-Rite’s but my funds are limited at this time so I just thought I’d try the freebie calibrator from Adobe for now.
Thanks for any help.
