Program for calibrating color in Vista x64

**Soft Pack** · 10-12-2008

Well, I'm having a problem here in my machine. I'm using Vista x64 and when I install the photoshop it complains that the Color Profile of my monitor is damaged, and have me rewriting it using the software calibration of my monitor. If I click it to ignore, the profile is all right, the pictures that I open and edit colors appear with "normal" but if I send it, it uses the profile of the monitor the images as if they were staying with a layer of brown paint over. It also occurs in the image viewer native windows. The problem is that the software that came with my Samsung 732nPlus cd's does not work in sight, and I do not know how to do a new profile for my monitor. Is there some software to do this or photoshop already have this option?

Former Photoshops came with a "calibrator manual" to generate a profile of the monitor (the AdobeGama, or something), in the form of a program that was installed in the Windows Control Panel, but I think from this program the CS3 was removed from the package. Well, I do not use Photoshop but most of the Corel Paint Shop Pro, and this software was never something like AdobeGama, but an option in the program to calibrate your monitor - it may be that now the Photshop might be having that.

But regardless in addition, to manually calibrate a monitor is a complicated task. A calibrated monitor will look like in the early days, somewhat like "yellow". Overall we like the cooler colors (tending to the blue), where it loses a bit of "contrast" in tone. Thus, unless we take great care, we will never get a good calibration. The ideal is to use a colorimeter. This hardware, coupled with the proper software, generates the profile of color automatically follow a very simple procedure. In addition it also adjusts the monitor for changes in ambient lighting.

I already know that Adobe range, in the case of Samsung monitors has a program called Magic Color but it does not work here. Then the last option is to see the same photo.

Thanks for the tip.
