Is Adobe Gamma not installed with CS3?

it's not shipped with cs3.

That's just it..."adobe gamma loader.exe" doesn't appear *anywhere* on my system. How do I get the *loader* back?

Put a shortcut to the gamma loader in the startup folder.

I downloaded the gamma control panel and got it installed, but somewhere along the line the gamma loader.exe got deleted from my Start Menu/Startup folder...

I've tried re-installing the gamma control panel app and gone through the calibration routine again, but I can't seem to restore the loader...

Any advice on how to get it back?

I have a similar problem. I can open Adobe Gamma from the Control Panel but cannot get it to run at startup, even though I put a shortcut to the Adobe Gamma Loader in my Programs/Startup folder.
Any ideas on how to load Adobe Gamma at startup?

i've got the ancient gamma, thanks to tomoza!

thanks John! I'll go check it out! I had the link, but didn't want to download it till I knew more about it,,

>STYLiX: The adobe gamma is the tool which can edit the default ICC profile file of your monitor driver. So when you opened the adobe gamma, edited and save change to the icc profile file when done. That you already edited the default ICC profile file for your monitor. So when your windows opened up, your new profile was loaded by windows too.

Not true partially. MS Windows is
b not
color managed itself. (Details: http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/device/display/color/wincolormgmt.mspx
i Windows Color Management: Background and Resources

For example, you may find there: "Visual display calibration - Microsoft Windows - Third-party support". I.e., again, by not Windows itself.
Therefore you surely need any thirdparty's "Monitor ICC profile
b loader
" being run on Windows startup (like Adobe Gamma Loader). 'Apple' may have that as built-in feature.

P.S. As it was mentioned above, these things may be found useful by anybody (who doesn't like hardware calibration :)):

in the same place.

P.S.S. As for me, I use hardware calibrator MonacoOPTIX (and, correspondingly, it's 'MonacoGamma' on startup).

That data1.cab is on the installation CD for the previous version of Photoshop (CS2). If you still had CS2 installed, Adobe Gamma would still be on you system. If you don't have it either way, go to one of the links* in Post #45 and download the .cpl file. Double clicking it should install the Adobe Gamma applet in your control panel.
