I have an acer travelmate laptop with a 14" screen. Some colours which should appear beige/light brown (for example, the windows xp classic taskbar, raleigh theme in gnome) appear grey or bluish grey. I tried to reduce the blue gamma in different amounts, but the colours still do not appear exactly as they should on an "unbiased" monitor. Perhaps this is because the tint is a little different for different viewing angles.

Does anyone know a good colour calibration utility which would help?
 
not sure if a standalone version exists...

what gfx card do you have, nVidia display settings have an inbuilt optimizer (Which BTW is fairly decent) to set up the color balance, white balace and the color temperature
 
Well I did manage to try adobe gamma with a trial version of adobe photoshop cs. The colours seem to be a little better than the results of other similiar software :)

Do you know any way to extract the colour information from the saved colour profiles? Such that I can apply these settings manually and in other operating systems.
 
Hi may be it stupid to ask, but do uninstall-reinstall the Display Driver from the original Driver-CD even if it is old.

There is a procedure to uninstall old drivers properly..... too big process.... pls Google it out.

Now for GAMMA -

  1. You can get the Adobe Gamma (only) from HERE for FREE. No need to get full PhotoShop.

    1) First download the zip file here and save to a folder on your hard drive, i.e, My Documents.

    2) Unzip the file. The contents should be a) The Adobe Gamma Loader b) The Adobe Gamma Control Panel c) Calibration JPEG Print d) Read Me File with full instructions.

    3) Add the ‘Control Panel’ file to the ‘Windows System’ folder. Add the ‘Gamma Loader’ into the ‘Start Menu’

    4) Reboot your machine.

    The Adobe Loader should now be visible in the start menu.
    Click to expand...
  2. or This FREE tool call Quick Gamma.

Hope, the problem gets solved....:cool2:
