Having had a recent problem with my video card, and having to re-burn its bios ( a small problem with some Matrox cards),I found that the video card is actually correcting for gamma – set at 2.2 on my Windows machine, but Photoshop is also correcting for gamma as well, so the resultant gamma is about 4.8 (2.2^2). When I disabled the gamma from Photoshop, and left only the video card gamma, the screen rendition of images was a much closer fit to the printed images. With both corrections active the screen image appeared considerably lighter than the subsequent print from a Frontier.
On thinking about this, I surmised that the video card gamma was appropriate, in order to view images from the net via browsers etc. with gamma correction enabled, but without Photoshop loaded. Why, then does Photoshop inject its own gamma correction if it is already in the video card?
Anybody with experience in this area care to comment?
