I scan colour negative film into Photoshop, then use ACDSee to index my pix, but sometimes show them using Filmstrip in Windows.
The problem I have is that PS, ACDSee and Windows all seem to have different gamma settings, so what is right in PS is wrong in a Windows XP "filmstrip" slideshow.
I use a Sony 200GS monitor and have use Adobe Gamme to set it up for "correct" gamma (though changing the gamma slider doesn’t seem to set the "Now choose gamma" which defaults to Windows 2.2) I have absolutely no idea which whitepoint to use and leave by default it a 9300 although my monitor is set to 6500!
I suppose I am just making the usual rookie error of
thinking that there is a "right" setting, when in fact the setting will be changing all the time as a result of ambient light etc. Consistency is what I am really after, so does it make sense to make a print on my Canon i950 then use that print to set the screen? Then try to get all the packages loking the same too?
Is it possible to change the screen display gamma in PS
5.0LE? It seems noticeably brighter than Windows XP
"filmstrip".
Thanks
Jim
