How to set up Photoshop (not Macintosh) for 2.2 gamma

Please ignore the other question on this forum. It is clogged with non-answers to my original question:

How do I set up Photoshop to simulate 2.2 gamma?

I am on a STANDARD MAC OSX computer (with Apple standard 1.8 gamma) and I do NOT want to change ALL my system, ONLY PHOTOSHOP.

If you cannot answer this question, please do NOT reply here.

Thanks.

From the other thread:

...Just use an RGB space with a 2.2 gamma.

...to address William's question...wouldn't View > Proof Setup > Windows RGB do?

...View/Proof Setup/Windows RGB.

"View > Proof Setup > Windows RGB"

This is exactly what I wanted, thanks.

Or you could go modern and profile to gamma 2.2 and save all the extra soft proofing steps.

In the monitor calibration preferences, one of the steps is to choose your Gamma for the monitor:

"Apple Standard" is titled on the slider, and it is 1.8

"PC Standard" is also labelled on the slider, and it is 2.2

My mother had a good reply when I said "But all the other kids are doing it". She would ask "If all the other kids were jumping off a cliff, would you be jumping off it too?"

Do any of you have Macs?

I've been using Macs since 1989 Currently I'm using a G5 dual core with an Apple 23" CinemaHD calibrated with a Greytagmacbeth EyeOne 2 calibration puck and software.

This is from Apples own web site:

"Choosing gamma and white point

During the calibration of your display, you will need to choose gamma and white point settings. The correct choice depends on how you are most likely to use your images. The best rule of thumb is this:

Unless you have a color management expert instructing you otherwise, select a 2.2 gamma and a D65 white point.

Because Windows PCs use 2.2 gamma, images edited in the traditional Mac
1.8 gamma will appear incorrectly to most viewers on the Internet—this
of course means that your Mac friends need to switch their displays to
2.2 gamma when perusing your 2.2-savvy work."

These novices seem to prefer Gamma 2.2
