Where is the Adobe Gamma utility located for CS? For version 7, it is found in the control panel (Windows), but with CS it is not there.

Thanks.

In Win XP-Media Edition SP-1, it is in Control Panel with CS1. This OS has only had CS, so I know that it is not residual from, say PS7.

Dave,

No, it isn’t… not by default anyway. Trust me, I looked. Like I said, I know that PS7’s Gamma utility is loaded in the Control Panel by default, because that is what I have at home. I am running CS at work, and it is not there.

The other way is to do a search of the hard drive for ‘gamma’, it may be under ‘program files/common files/adobe’ or something like that. If it’s there it should be easy to find.

Yes, for CS it is found in Control Panel by default. I have no idea why its not found there on your computer, but Control Panel is where it is supposed to be. Maybe you need to check and make sure whether it got installed at all.

check and make sure it has not been disabled in the start up menu.

Assuming a windows computer:
start>run>msconfig.Startup check and make sure the box next to Adobe Gamma Loader is checked.

Yes it is. That’s exactly where it put it when I installed CS on XP SP1 and it’s still there on XP SP2.

That won’t make any difference. If it’s disabled it just means it isn’t in the Start Up folder.

No it isn’t… trust me… are you going to make me hold my breath? I looked several times… did searches, etc. All of the suggestions people have offered.

I did end up looking in the commons dir, and found a file that would run it, however. Still not sure why it is not in the control panel.

Thanks.

Adobe Gamma is not an interactive program. Why it might have an alias in the control panels, I will never understand. It is not there on my CSV or CS9, but Adobe CS8 and CS9’s Help tells us that it is there, but the installed ReadMe file says it is in the commons file.

WTF is all I can say. Somebody not very important at Adobe is asleep.

Find it in the startup and be happy.

Why is it there? It isn’t an interactive program. This whole thing makes no sense at all.

Go to C:/Program Files/Common Files/Adobe/Calibration

The Gamma loader is there – execute the exe file and then go to Control Panel to open it.

After reading this thread, I’m unclear what the original question was. People seem to be confusing "Adobe Gamma", the interactive control panel module that creates minimal profiles, with "Adobe Gamma Loader", the non-interactive module that must run at startup to load the chosen profile to the video card registers. Granted, Adobe doesn’t make this at all clear, and I didn’t understand the difference until I once replaced both with a third party solution where the difference was explained.

What I have in my Startup folder is a shortcut to the actual Adobe Gamma Loader.exe, which lives in c:\program files\common files\adobe\calibration\adobe gamma loader.exe. Of course this isn’t CS, so there may still be some mystery there, but perhaps the background info will help.

True. Someone even suggested double-clicking on it and then it will appear in the control panel. Not so.

Here’s the scoop, at least for CS:

Yes, it was the .cpl file that I finally had to make a shortcut on my desktop to get the interactive program to run.

And .cpl files are control panel files which *should* be displayed in the Control Panel. 🙂

One would think so… but it isn’t there. I was just at the office not 30 minutes ago, staring at it.

It sounds like the install hasn’t worked correctly, or, if you’re on a network, the IT Admin haven’t installed PS correctly.

That is entirely possible. Aside from Gamma not showing in the control panel (I can still run it, as stated before), the program works fine.
