Adobe gamma does not respond

Hi Oxen,

Welcome to the forum,

To activate the Adobe Gamma Launcher, you first need to calibrate your screen.

The Adobe Gamma control panel should be installed into your program files>common files>Adobe>calibration folder.

Then launch Adobe Gamma.cpl to begin calibarting your monitor.

Let us know how you get on.

I also have a gretag macbeth device i would like to use?

I have not used this type of device before?

Hi Thalamus
Adobe Gamma is in my control panel - it opens but the slider controls do change the colours when moved

Gretag Eye One is a monitor calibration tool - youplace on the screen. You have to be able to manually change the colour settings based on its analysis

Thanks

 it opens but the slider controls do change the colours when moved

Click the gamma control (control panel) then select control panel (not step by step) In the gamma section, deselect view gamma only, you should now be presented with RGB settings.

Does that help ?

Hi
Sorry for late reply
No - I tried this before I entered the forum

I have used this on my desktop ok and used the separate colour manage device - in this case my monitor has a menu where I can manually change contrast and RGB settings

Still cannot find a way with this notebook?

Thanks

Sorry, don't know the english expressions in the pop-up menu.

Try display properties>settings>advanced>ATI Mobility Radeon 9700.

Can you change the settings in there? I do have the same graphics card, look for something like overlay colour controls.

My settings say colour correction, I selected desktop (in the apply colour changes to), as overlay/VMR did not allow gamma settings to be altered.

Hope this makes sense?

Hi Oxon,

I have the A117S and Adobe Gamma is working the way it should.
And it's not the only way to change colours. When you right-click on your desktop there is a pop-up menu. Continue searching until you find "ATI colour", where you can manually change gamma, brightness and contrast for every colour.

Sorry, don't know the english expressions in the pop-up menu.
Here's what you should click in german:
Eigenschaften => Einstellungen => erweitert => ATI Farbe

Just to eliminate any possibility of errors:
Did you install the Bios- and Graphics Driver Update and everything else that came with Windows XP SP2?

Greetings,
S.

Thanks Guys
With both the ATI panel open - colour tab and the Adobe Gamma window open, I can change the Adobe gamma sliders via the ATI colour tab only - weird. Adobe Gamma will NOT operate independently

Its a start many thanks for your help
