7-1 Photoshop 5.x
This chapter covers features of Adobe Photoshop versions 4.x and 5.x for
Windows and Mac OS. The illustrations show only Mac OS dialog boxes,
but the information and instructions apply equally to the Windows version
of Photoshop.
Photoshop 5.x
Because Photoshop 5.x uses a sophisticated color management system, there
are several setup steps you should take before you begin working. These steps
include:
• Calibrating your monitor
• Adjusting Photoshop 5.x color settings
• Setting ColorSync defaults (Mac OS only)
For information on monitor calibration and color setup in Photoshop
(version 5.02 or later) open the Adobe Color Management Assistant
(Mac OS) or Adobe Color Management Wizard (Windows) by choosing
Color Management from the Photoshop Help menu. (See your Adobe
Photoshop 5.x documentation or Adobe’s Technical Guidelines for
Photoshop on the internet at www.adobe.com.)
Photoshop 5.x color settings
Photoshop 5.x has a control panel and three setup dialog boxes that control
how color is managed when you open and save RGB and CMYK images. You
should calibrate your monitor using the Adobe Gamma control panel, and
specify settings in Photoshop’s Profile Setup, RGB Setup, and CMYK Setup
dialog boxes before you begin working with images in Photoshop.
NOTE: The Adobe Gamma control panel performs similar functions on both
Windows and Mac OS computers.
