I've recently been forced to move home - something I'd dreaded and never really thought would happen - and my wonderful old LG went TU just before the move. or indeed not able to remember what a perch is. But I'm living in my old home town with many of my contemporaries falling, or having fallen, off the perch. Gone is the 635 Twin turbo, and gone is my huge hi-fi as my hearing was abruptly destroyed by cochlea hydrops. Pity, 18 months ago I was 20/20 or better. I should stress that I'm way past needing photographic perfection, I'm just hanging on with somewhat variable eyesight having agreed this week with my eye surgeon to stop wasting public money on chasing perfection.

There is lot to get your head around if you don't understand the concept of the image flow through the system to your eyes /printer - It might be faster to buy a pro or semi pro photographer a few bottles and watch then put it right If it looks better that way something is very wrong elsewhere in the image chain. It will not need 1.4 or 2.6 to get a good image.

The correct gamma for EVERYTHING on a PC these days is 2.2 /default. Ideally don't adjust the system if the monitor is the problem (may have no choice on a laptop where limited viewing angle is another issue) If they are not 90% right at defaults there is a problem.Īdjusting gamma corrects for slight system or monitor errors.

Gamma test cards are a very mixed bunch by the way - some don't always work even on a perfectly calibrated pro monitor when viewed other that at 100% pixel size or when downloaded from the web.ĩ9.9% of windows users don't worry about gamma because the pictures look ok at system defaults. I have to say that if your monitor is poorly calibrated and your reference is a poor set of photos vs test cards /gamma charts you will probably never see a decent image or get it truly right. Remember that nvidea has separate page for video settings but it is again often best to leave these to a decent video player app also. If they are not completely the same (and you have photoshop correctly set to sRGB etc) this is likely because they are now actually being displayed correctly - or if 'worse' you might now be tempted to fiddle a tiny bit with the nvidia settings but remember these might not get reloaded at a reboot / update. They should now look as good as before or even a bit better.

Now open them in Photoshop or similar colour aware programme. They should still look good albeit not quite the same Save them to desktop and view them again in Photos or save as a background. Now you have the GUI calibrated use the latest version of chrome to view some nice downloadable wallpapers online. Then in colour management, advanced tab, complete the "Calibrate display" wizard to calibrate the GUI brightness / contrast / Gamma / colour (As you can guess if your monitor is not accurate in the first place this will probably only make things worse as you correct that error with more error) Search Colour Management in Windows, click Profiles and "reset my settings to the system defaults" (unless you've already messed them up :-) Then choose the 'use system/app settings' option to take them out of the flow as far as possible for now. Set all nvidea image and video settings to defaults including monitor's default (native) resolution and output range to full. Remove any 'super duper add in gamma tweak tools You can go entirely mad on this but the best 'quick approach' is to re-set your monitor to defaults, gamma 2.2 if possible and to a 'factory preset like 'standard or sRGB' or far far better still, borrow a properly calibrated monitor for an hour. Few if any browsers display in other than sRGB though which affects images that used wider gamut profiles like Adobe RGB Older browsers ignore color profiles too but most current version have caught up. In consequence something that looks right in a colour-aware app like photoshop or latest google chrome will look different once saved and viewed /screenshotted in windows picture viewer /as a desktop image etc. but if this is Windows bear in mind that windows GUI generally ignores any gamma profile saved in icc monitor files files (and loaded at startup but haphazardly thereafter/at reboot) You haven't posted most of the hardware info anyone would need to help you with this
