Photoshop Elements 3 Conflicts with QuickGamma
I was loving the new version of Photoshop Elements, except for one little problem — I couldn’t save.
Turns out that Photoshop Elements 3.0 is incompatible with QuickGamma, a program I recommended earlier this year. Uninstalling QuickGamma fixed the problem, and now my gamma-correction needs are being fulfilled by the excellent Adobe Gamma (included with PSE3).
For those who don’t use PSE3, I still recommend QuickGamma. It’s pretty good at what it does and, unlike Adobe Gamma, it’s free. The makers of QuickGamma also have a new monitor profiling program called QuickMonitorProfile available. Between the two, you can get a decent color-managed workflow going on a budget.
If you’re serious about color management, however, I recommend springing for a professional-grade monitor profiling kit like ColorVision’s excellent Spyder. It comes in several flavors for casual, advanced, and professional users. Prices as of this writing range from $119 to $299.
