Any suggestions are appreciated.
I'm not much of a Windoze fan meself, but that's what they gave me for an
office machine. I use Colorblind Prove-IT on both Macs and 'doze boxes.
Prove-IT installs a "loader" which I believe is analogous to Adobe Gamma
(which gets a shortcut in the start->programs->startup thingmabob). As
Andrew said your monitor profile should appear in the RGB working Spaces
list in Color Settings (not that you should choose the monitor profile as a
working space but you can at least verify that Pshop sees it). The loader is
called Colorblind Video Startup. I would imagine that OptiCal would have a
similar utility. I'm not sure if just picking the profile from the Display
Properties would be enough.
