First, Dave, Adobe Gamma is only a so-so method of calibration. Yes, it's better than nothing, but the spyder is better yet. If you've got Adobe Gamma working properly it will make the established adjustments by itself. However, over time, monitors drift, and they need recalibration at more or less regular intervals. In addition, the monitor should be calibrated in the light in which you will be working. If your room is bright, and you work during the day, you'll see something different on the screen when you work at night in a darker room.
You will probably never get a perfect match between screen and print, but ... and please understand that I'm still just learning this stuff - if you use a profile for the paper and printer you're using the results should improve. If you're just using the screen profile, and not calibrating what's on the screen to the printer and paper stock (maybe inks, too) then you'll end up with wider differences than you would otherwise. I have a few profiles on my machine from different labs and for different papers. When I use these the screen image changes noticeably. shel > > > I have done this to my monitors and the difference between print and on screen is > there > still. > After is do the Adobe Gamma adjustment and save it,do you have to call this up every > time > you work > in PS or is it set to the last adjustment you made. > I',m not talking about BIG differences,just minor ones i seem to see but not the > customers.Dirt in pic is > darker than on screen,were as screen colour of dirt is ok,that sort of thing. > BTW i print with the S800 Canon,using the profile"same from screen" or something > along > that > line.Should this be something else?? > > Dave
