I’m doing an online course at lynda.com on Photoshop CS4, and in one part they ask you to get into Adobe Gamma to do color calibration. I can’t find it . . . ?? If I go into the control panel, there’s no folder for Adobe Gamma. My son suggested looking at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Control Panels\, but when I get to Common Files, there’s no folder in there called Control Panels.

I’m running Windows XP on an HP Pavilion Media Center computer. Any ideas?? Thanks.

Adobe Gamma was discontinued with CS3. So unless you have CS2 still installed you’re out of luck.

Are you sure that’s a CS4 tutorial? They don’t usually make mistakes like that!

Yes, it was — and I’m surprised that something lynda.com put out would be that far off — they’re usually pretty good. Oh well, have to find another way to do color calibration. I suppose the only way is to buy one of those devices . . .

There are other software solutions to try before you fork out the cash.
