Instructions in MonacoEZ Color instruct me to uninstall Adobe Gamma Loader before using Monaco for Creating a CRT profile using a colorimeter. I have looked through tutorials and through photoshop 7, and I can not find out where this is or how to uninstall it. Instructions say not to remove Adobe Gamma Control Panel. Can anyone help?

In your Startup folder you should see a shortcut to the Adobe Gamma Loader. Move this to a different folder and you should be good to go.

(On my Win2K system the shortcut is located at: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup.)

Right. What Monaco and other calibration systems want you to do is remove the Adobe Gamma Loader, which is not the same thing as uninstalling the Adobe Gamma Control Panel applet.

Be sure to reboot after you’ve removed the AG loader per Dennis’s instructions.

Adobe actually recommends you go back to using the AG loader rather than the loader installed by third-party calibration systems:

<http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/13252.htm>

Ostensibly, this is because Adobe applications specifically use the monitor profile loaded by AG.

(See the section subtitled Adobe Gamma and Third-Party Monitor Calibration Utilities.)

Monaco should install it’s profile in the right folder. Make sure it does.

You can tilde(~)the Gamma File and that will disable it. You also may want to go into startup and disable it there as well.

Boy, now I am confused. I read the link, and it appears I may have it installed wrong, but yet, my system is calibrated, so far as I can tell.

I use PhotoCal, and the profile is installed in the proper location (C:\WINNT\system32\spool\drivers\color) as in the instructions in the above link. I also have Gamma disabled in the Startup folder, and the Adobe Calibration folder has a (~). Also, in Color Management in the nVidia Plug -n Play, I have PhotoCAL associated with the monitor. This was my idea, as no profile showed in the Color Management box.

Now, maybe I didn’t need to associate that profile in the nVidia

I may be double calibrated, or maybe not, as Gamma is totally disabled.

I am on W2K
