I have a PC and installed Photoshop 7. It walked me through some setups but one was collabrating the monitor, which since I don’t print anything at home was not the right thing to do. Usually when I sent digi prints to be printed, they looked as they were supposed to. Now, after the ‘collabrating’, they come out too dark. I need to reverse or undo what I did in regards to the monitor.

Can anyone tell me how to do this or is there a helpline or something I can call?

I appreciate it. Thanks!!

No, cher, can’t be of much help because you didn’t specify which method of corroboration you used on behalf of your monitor. Which program did you use to collimate it? How did you access the program? Did it have the word "gamma" in its name? And where have you been sending your digits to be printed?

if you saved over the old calibration instead of giving it a new name, you’re out of luck.

you may want to check this out. it’s well worth the 15 minutes to read through and may help you calibrate and get great prints every time.

Cher, if you had not previously calibrated the monitor, and if you used Adobe Gamma to do it this time, just remove Adobe Gamma from your Startup folder, reboot, and you’ll be right back where you want to be.

Used with great care and patience, the twidgity Adobe Gamma can work fairly well on a CRT monitor, but most folks report that it is not useful on an LCD monitor. Other programs exist, but I don’t remember their names. Search this forum for "calibration" if you’re interested, but it sounds like you will be content to get back to the previous state.
