[filmscanners] Re: Adobe Gamma

["Owen P. Evans" <opevans@istar.ca>]

Hi Colin,
I once had the same problem as you are describing. It turned out that under
the Display Properties; Settings;Advanced; Color Management...my default was
set to the original setting of my PF-790. I was able to change the default
to my Spyder Profile and all was well. Thereafter, it happened again. I
found that under System Properties; Device Manager; Monitors...my PF-790
showed up twice. I removed one of these and all went well
thereafter.Somehow, I'd loaded the monitor software twice?
I recently upgraded to XP and needed the new Matrox G450 drivers. The
software was several generations ahead of when I bought the card a year and
a half ago. I have no problems at all now. Maybe a download of current
software will work ?
Good luck,
Owen

Subject: [filmscanners] Adobe Gamma


My computer is set up to run Adobe Gamma on boot up, which it does, as I can
see it "kick in" toward the end of the boot process, when the desktop is
displayed. However, later, maybe a couple of hours later, I notice that the
screen is definitely not the shade of grey that it should be, and Adobe
Gamma has to be run again to restore it to the corrected state. There is a
shortcut to Adobe Gamma on the desktop to let me run it easily.

In other words the computer has reverted to the uncorrected gamma by itself.
This odd behaviour doesn't seem to be associated with running any particular
program that I know of, and certainly not with running Photoshop. The only
programs that might have been run would be IE5, Outlook Express, VueScan, or
ACDSee, but I can't find a tie up. Has anyone ever noticed anything like
this behaviour?

I feel it is associated somehow with the graphics card, as accessing Desktop
Properties - Settings - Advanced - Color tab will certainly override Adobe
Gamma, but I am not in the habit of doing this.  Using W98SE, Matrox G450
graphics card.
