Hello,
When I launch PS CS, I get a notice that my "monitor calibration appears defective" I have never recieved this type of message, and am wondering how to calibrate my monitor, I called and the tech support tells me it’s a Photoshop thing, is that correct?
Thanks,
Tom

The other applications are not written for people who are particular about the monitor profile, hence, yes it is a "photoshop thing". Try Adobe Gamma to create a new profile.

New to Photoshop and haven’t got a clue how to calibrate my monitor correctly or how to set up and use profiles. I am using a Canon s500 printer and the prints coming off it are nothing like what’s on the screen. Can anyone explain how to do this in a very simple way?

Michael,

Run Adobe Gamma from the Control Panel.

Select sRGB as your starting profile and change the text in the description box to something like – My Monitor –

Now just follow the on-screen instructions and then SAVE TO A NEW FILENAME – this is important or you will over-write your sRGB profile!

Thanks Len- but I think I’ve just overwritten my RGB file! Fick or what? I’ll try again.
