In the book "PSE 5: The Missing Manual", it mentions that PSE5 installs Adobe Gamma software, which can be used to calibrate your monitor.

For some reason, I can’t find Adobe Gamma on my system. (It’s possible that I uninstalled it when cleaning up some files recently).

Is the book correct in stating that this software is installed with PSE5? If so, is it worthwhile to use to calibrate the monitor? If not, what’s the best way to calibrate the monitor for PSE5?

Finally, if I did inadvertently delete it, can I reinstall PSE5 get Adobe Gamma back without harming/losing any photos, tags etc that I’ve already loaded?

Thanks!

It should be in control panel. That’s where it is and I have PSE4 Bill

I know that’s where I should find it, but it’s not there. As I say, perhaps I deleted, not knowing what it was at the time.

Can I get it back by re-installing PSE5? Can PSE5 be re-intalled with no negative effects on my photo catalog or tags?

Thanks!

Sorry I did not understand you looked in control panel.

As for reinstall I do not know if that would help as I am still with PSE4. But a reinstall should work.

Some others may help

Start with control panel, then look at add & delete then go to start and go to programs If it is there it should show uo in one of these places If not go to adobe or reinstall H. Joe

It’s on the installation CD separately. While browsing look under \Goodies\Software\Adobe Gamma…
