Adobe Gamma/calibrating my monitor
Dec 15, 2011 20:59:35 #
I was reading an article: ( http://www.northlight-images.co.uk/article_pages/remove_adobe_gamma.html )
that recommends deleting the adobe gamma shortcut in the startup folder to calibrate my monitor.
I use Adobe photoshop CS a lot. I haven't purchased any software or hardware to calibrate my monitor yet, but what are some of your inputs about removing this and turning off Adobe gamma. I don't know what it does or even means, but I just started reading up on and getting real serious on calibration of my monitor and making my prints look exactly (or as close to as possible) to what I see on my screen. (Not that it was bad before, but I know there can be some improvement, and I want it to be the best it can be)
Does this sound like something I should do? Will it effect my photoshop editing in any substantial way?
Thanks for any input!
:-)

Do it. If you don't your computer will or may use the Adobe for calibration. It was intende for the computer that the monitor doesn't have a calibrator and won't cause any problems using Photoshop. I've done that.

Ok, thanks! I'm glad I found someone who has actually done it. I've also done more reading since then and it all points to doing it, so as soon as I pick out some good calibration equipment that I can afford, I am going to delete that shortcut.
Thanks again for your reply :-)
