recalibrate using your calibration hardware. if that creates a profile AND autoloads it for you, you need that autoloader in startup (or a run registry key) to have that profile affect your system.
….. yes! it creates and loads (it appears) it on the system. Yes!. It´s on the screen manager. When i remove it everything goes ok (as the beginning), but when i put the new one, it becomes brown, only colors near gray and black or white.
It´s kind of strage… use navised, basiccolor 3.1, and a matrox. They told us to install monacooptix software BEFORE installing basiccolor, which has capacities for 10bit screens like mine. We are told to remove the adobe gamma thing, but there´s nothing here. Maybe something is changing the color here.
I´m thinking on removing CS3 and try again, but calibration here is soooo soft (good equipment i have for this) that i can´t see if it´s working or not!!.
I also use Naviset. I was told to install an older version so the driver for digital control of the screen is added, and if fixes the problem. But it seems it doest ….
There is no Adobe gamma AFAIK in CS3. To be sure go to Start>Run. Type in msconfig and it opens System Configuration Utility. Go to the Startup tab and search for Adobe gamma. it shouldn’t be there, but if it is uncheck it. Then restart the system.
you’re correct larry. cs3 shipped without adobe gamma.
When i remove it everything goes ok (as the beginning), but when i put the new one, it becomes brown, only colors near gray and black or white.
what are you removing? i’m not following you at all. as i just said to larry, cs3 doesn’t ship with a color management app. sounds like you are removing the profile you just set up.
It could be a left over from an earlier app, dave. That’s why I’m having him look for it. if it’s there, it should also be set in the files to .old or whatever.
true. i didn’t see any mention of an earlier version so i just assumed. (ya, i know about ass-u-me… 🙂 )
so just to be clear, adobe’s old cm app was called adobe gamma. in the control panel, it’s called adobe gamma, in the startup folder it would be labeled as "adobe gamma loader". if darkgaze is "removing" any other app, i think it’s likley that he/she is pulling the loader that is supposed to be loading his calibration from the monaco. no?
That would be my guess, or he has a defective CD or D/L.
Hi there, people. I back again.
First, thanks a lot for your support here.
Second, i’m a girl, that will end up with the confusion.
The last thing is that i’m spanish so errors can’t be avoided completely. I’m sorry. —–
Ok. let’s start. I’ve read all the posts. There is, of course, no adobe gamma or any adobe software on the startup. I know what i’m saying, my computer level is not so bad, i must tell.
To "Lawrence", i don’t get what do you mean with "defective CD or D/L". You mean what i installed is corrupted or has any problems?.
I installed it several times, and various versions. ANd i must tell it worked two years ago!.
Well. I know it’s a quite difficult problem: use a 10bit screen from NEC as i said. I use a Matrox Parhelia 128MB graphics card, specially built for photographers, as i investigated.
The problem came with my calibration hardware: Monaco Optix xr. It comes with a software called Monaco Optix too.
But 10bit screens were new at that time, 2 or 3 years ago, so we contacted with the germans to receive BasicColor software, adaptation for Monaco to use 10bit screens.
That’s all. They told us to install firstly Monaco (don’t ask me why!) and then BColor (3.1). After that, Naviset, that intalls the controllers to use the digital controls of the screen when i calibrate.
So that’s all. But it doesn’t work… i wonder whos fault.
I think something is changing the profile. I have an idea: i could try to use the same profile with other system, so i can see if it works but the screen turns it bad, or whatever.
Other trial would be using another calibration HW.
Well. I wonder why i had to install MonacoOptix first. Maybe it installs some kind of color daemon to load the profile… no idea.
Do you have any clue?
Thanks a lot!
I think something is changing the profile
the only other place i can think that might be loading a profile is the video card itself. when you go to the device (vid card) properties pages, is there a page for color management? it’s possible something’s being loaded there that’s overwriting your created profile…
just a thought.
Beat me to it, dave.
darkgaze, consider loading only the driver for the video card, leaving out any specialty controls. Matrox may not have much extra, but when I have problems, I be sure to uninstall the software from the manufacturer and re-install only the drivers.
Another point: Do you have the latest driver from Matrox?
I also don’t understand the necessity for that sequence. There should be no priorities. I actually would install the drivers for the monitor first.
There may also be conflicts between the German software and the Monaco that they are unaware of. It happens.
So, I would first install the software for the monitor (Naviset). Look at your screen with a known image. How does it look?
Install the Monaco next. Any changes? Then the BC. Somewhere, you will see the problem. If you do, reverse the installation between Monaco and and BC. What happens then?
You may need to talk to the tech support for all concerned to resolve this. Monaco would be my first choice.
