Title: Adobe Gamma
Post by: asoulym on July 11, 2011, 11:09:17 pm

Hi, I've read its wise to remove the Adobe Gamma app, from a calibration point of view. Can someone tell me where its stored on a Win 7 system?

If it was installed (with older Photoshop versions), it would be a shortcut in the Windows Startup folder (Start|All Programs|Startup).

Cheers,
Bart

Thanks Bart, did some more investigation and read it might not even have installed with CS3, looked in the start up folder and couldnt see it there. Problem solved

Cheers

As long as it is installed and marked default, it loads each time you start the computer.  Spectraview and ArgyllCMS (the two tools I use, can automatically load the profile).

I have ColorEyes Display pro, and logged on as a user, the profile won't load, I have to open CEDP then it loads the profile. If I log on as Admin, it loads every time on start up.

I think this is the way Win works.  The Administrator sets up the way things load at start up and if a "user" starts the machine it won't load.  It's designed to prevent problems such as inadvertent deletion of programs.  I'm the only one who uses my machine hence I'm the Admin and I've never experimented with any other approach.
