J-- Selecting the monitor profile in Adobe Gamma works on my Windows 98 system, so I'm not sure what to do if it doesn't work on yours. Just as a test, you might try using Adobe Gamma to make a new profile for your monitor and select that. If it shows up in Photoshop's RGB Setup window, then this might indicate that there's something different about your Nokia profile. Nokia makes great monitors, I've used them happily for years. My comment was about the sRGB color space. sRGB was designed to match the color characteristics of old, cheap PC monitors. Using it will make Photoshop TREAT your Nokia like a cheap monitor by severely limiting the gamut of anything it sends to your monitor for display. --Bill >Bill: > >Your solution below was the one I did at the outset.
