hello

wld appreciate any help on this .

I have just purchased a new philips tft monitor to replace ctr one . however image in photoshop is lighter and maybe different in other ways too ….than the same image opened at the same time in ANY other program …even print preview . !!!!!!!!!!

have tried monitor on all friends machines and there is no problem . I have even tried another tft monitor on this computer and its fine …image completely the same . I cant understand it and all friends have now run out of ideas!!!.

have removed image gamma loader from start up but this made no difference …am now going to put it back,

this is pretty desperate before i have to resort to returning the monitor to retailer or to philips .

any suggestions most welcome .

TFTs do not reproduce colour correctly for image manipulation and printing unless you pay the sort of money Eizo charge. Gamma does not work with TFT screens.

I have a Dell Ultrasharp LCD monitor and unless I run Adobe Gamma, colours are different in Photoshop. I don’t know the explanation but Adobe Gamma works for me.

For starters…
You need to have a decent video card which has a console to adjust colours on the monitor. Radeon cards have colour adjustment as do several other brands. The first place to start is to set up your "system" rather than just the monitor under Photoshop. If you colours look right on the desktop but change when you start Photoshop, does that tell you anything?

The EOS fellow gave you good advice. Use the disk which Phillips provide with the monitor to get a monitor profile Windows can use – You are on Windows, aren’t you? Here is another thing… Crap in – crap out. Give us a clue to what your problem is (the screen one) and someone might have an answer for you.

I did some experimenting. If I use the Dell 1905FP colour profile then an image viewed on my desktop, in Windows Picture and Fax viewer and EVEN in ImageReady all look the same. But the same image viewed in Photoshop has a slight brownish colour cast. If I use a colour profile I have created with Adobe Gamma, the image looks the same in all apps. If I now remove Adobe Gamma from the StartUp folder and restart the computer, there is no change as long as I use my profile.

Strange that it looks different in ImageReady to Photoshop if I use the Dell colour profile, but it does.

Does this make sense?
