Calibrating with Adobe Gamma

The ICC profile you get using Adobe Gamma uses the calibration settings to describe how your monitor reproduces color.

To use Adobe Gamma:

1. Do one of the following to start the Adobe Gamma utility:
• In Windows, double-click Adobe Gamma, located in the Program Files\Common Files \Adobe\Calibration folder on your hard drive.
• In Mac OS, from the Apple menu, choose Control Panels > Adobe Gamma.cpl.
2. Do one of the following:
• To use a version of the utility that will guide you through each step, select Step by Step, and click Next. This version is recommended if you're inexperienced. If you choose this option, follow the instructions described in the utility. Start from the default profile for your monitor if available.
• To use a compact version of the utility with all the controls in one place, select Control Panel, and click Next. This version is recommended if you have experience creating color profiles.

Any time while working in the Adobe Gamma control panel, you can click the Wizard (Windows) or Assistant (Mac OS) button to switch to the wizard for instructions that guide you through the same settings as in the control panel, one option at a time.
