....Gamma?? What are the proper Gamma settings?? What do I do with this?? Hey, I am really NOT sure about this one, always kinda wondered about it?? Thought it might be a good time to ask?? Care to explain this one to me?? Thanks. ~3D ;-)

are you talking about Photoshop or the monitor settings? I don't see gamma on photoshop. Where is it? -Adam

Guys: Starting with PhotoShop V5.0 there is a setup wizard to guide you through calibrating your Monitor in order to establish a color profile for it (very useful to ensure that what you see on your monitor is what comes out of your printer!). Setting the Gamma is one of the steps in doing that. Gamma is the white point setting for the monitor (analogous to the center adjustment triangle in the levels dialog box). If you play around with that setting on one of your pictures, you'll see the effect easily. The Macs have always had a seperate gamma setting device incuded with the operating system, but this is somewhat new to Windows users (unless you are in the desktop publishing industry). Hope this helps you out :o) -Jim

Oh, I'm not sure where, exactly, it is, but the manual should tell you where to find it. It popped up on the screen the first time I used the program (after installing it) and I haven't needed it since. It's a good idea to "re-visit" this setting every six months or so, as monitors will tend to drift over time due to the aging process on the phosphors in the picture tube. Back when they used mostly tubes in monitors & TV's, it drifted a lot more frequently. Some of the upscale monitors will self adjust by examing the color profile in software(the high end Apple monitors will do this). -Jim

Are you Mac or Windows. On a Mac Adobe Gamma can be found in the control panels. Windows...uh...I don't know.
