Title: Calibrating monitor in vmware
Post by: LiorT on March 29, 2006, 12:18:21 pm

Hi,

I am using vmware in linux in order to run photoshop, but adobe-gamma doesnt have any effect when i change the gamma,

can anyone recommend a way to either calibrate in linux (suse10) or how to do this in vmware.

thanks

I say this without actual experience, but I would speculate that while you can not calibrate your monitor from within VMWare, there should be no problem running something like Eye-One Match with a profiling device to make a profile of your monitor from within VMWare, which Photoshop can then use to display images with proper colors - it simply has to make a few more corrections to the colors as shown on the screen than it would if the screen were calibrated before profiling.
