Hi,

I have Adobe Gamma installed, as do I Photoshop 6.
It says to calibrate my monitor by adjusting the contrast then the brightness..

I am working within Win XP on an IBM T30 laptop and can’t for the life of me figure out how to adjust the contrast so that I may continue and complete the calibration process..

I’ve been told that there might not be a contrast option. If this is the case, what other methods might I try (without having to spend all sorts of money on gadgets / software).

Thanks.

Spud,

Adobe Gamma was not designed to work with LCD screens.

…But it can get you in the ballpark regarding brightness and color. – I currently depend on Adobe Gamma for my Dell 8200 laptop. For a better result, you´d need a spyder solution such as the Gretag-Macbeth Eye1.

And Adobe.. When are we gonna see better calibration software?

Mat,

What did you use for the ‘phosphors’ setting? I’m curious.
