Software Update: QuickGamma 4.0.0.2

Spread the love

Some time ago, version 4.0.0.2 of QuickGamma was released. This free program is able to calibrate a monitor without the help of expensive equipment. QuickGamma uses the Windows Display Calibration for this, which Microsoft has used since Windows 7 included is becoming. The program therefore only works for Windows 7 or higher. Version 4.0.0.2 should fix an issue where in some cases the program did not recognize the correct monitor in a multi-monitor setup.

QuickGamma 4.0.0.2:

When using multiple monitors, the wrong EDID data might get used. Version 4.0.0.2 solves this problem and should definitely be installed when using multiple monitors

QuickGamma 4.0.0.1:

QuickGamma Version 4 does not run on any Windows version prior to Windows 7. The programs QuickGammaLoader, QuickGammaResume and QuickGammaResumeClose, which were part of previous versions of QuickGamma, are not required anymore and hence are no longer part of QuickGamma Version 4. QuickGamma Version 4 now uses the Windows 7 built in Display Calibration feature to load the LUT.

To use the Windows 7 built in Display Calibration feature, QuickGamma creates a ICC profile for the monitor with a vcgt tag containing the LUT data. Either the sRGB color space or the color space defined by the RGB primaries in the monitors EDID information can be selected to create the monitor profile. The sRGB color space is considered the standard color space for monitors, but the individual color space as defined by the RGB primaries in the monitors EDID information might be more suitable. It just depends on whether the EDID data, which is stored in the monitor by the monitor manufacturer, contains the precise color space information of the monitor or not. Besides, the color space definition in the monitor profile is only used by programs that are said to be color management aware, like Adobe Photoshop and others. Also some web browsers are color management aware by now, even though some of these browsers require activating the use of color profiles.
