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.
The Adobe Gamma control panel performs similar functions on both Windows

and Mac OS computers.
