Photoshop 5 initial setup
As a very new user of PS5 can I have advice on what to put in 1)rgb setup - gamma/white pt/primaries
2)print - space
3)profile setup - assumed profiles
I have a win98 PC, a CTX trinitron monitor, and a Canon
BJC 7000 printer.

Have you tried Adobe Gamma in your control panel to calibrate your display?
ASKER
Yes I've used Adobe gamma, and thereby installed a monitor profile. But things I was looking for e.g are - should the monitor gamma be 1.8 or 2.2 What should white pt be ? In file/print what do I put in "space". And finally in "assumed profiles" what is best ? dan.
What are you going to be using Photoshop for primarily? Internet graphics or DTP?
ASKER
My use for PS 5 is ---
Manipulating photographs, and printing them out.

As for myself I use the defaults and adjust them as needed for each new project, I know it is odd to do it this way, but I found it the best.

I'll try it that way. D.
Just to get a bit more specific...
What those settings are for (or, more correctly, are attempting to be for) are to allow you to calibrate your screen so that the colors you get on-screen match your printer settings. What I'd suggest you do it print a range of colors on your printer, and set the gamma to that...
