We learned to develop color slides (VERY cool!) and print color negatives. The chemistry for developing negatives is too expensive to be economical for small-scale processing, so we went to Walgreen's or Walmart and would have them developed but not printed. We'd get an index print to serve as a proof sheet, I also always got a CD of my stuff.

Had an excellent reaction to my final portfolio, also to my work in the student show last Thursday. I'm hoping to do some work on those jpegs over the winter break and post them in the near future.


Photoshop, I might have dropped to a B, dunno yet. I got an A on my final project, but I got a C on my final skills test. I did most of the work on my laptop, an IBM/Windows machine, as opposed to the lab's Macs and I think the monitor calibration might have cost me some points. With the exception of one B, I was consistently running A's on projects plus a 95%~ on my mid-term test, so we'll find out tomorrow.

I had to *facepalm* last night when I walked into my color class -- the teacher asks me why I wasn't in my/her Photoshop class for the final critique! I thought everything for Photoshop wrapped Thursday, turns out I was wrong. I was on campus, but I was working in the computer lab. *sigh*

I do not know about Adobe Gamma, but I can ask my instructor and lab aides about it tomorrow... (assuming that I remember) Personally, I would check out Adobe's tech support boards.

I'm running PS 6 on my Windows laptop, I have CS2 but only on a 30 day eval. I never calibrated my laptop or desktop monitor, but I find that's ok for my purposes.

Have your techies ruled out any permission problems? Unfortunately I'm not a full-fledged Mac geek, I seem to recall that you're a Mac shop.

How about deleting all user profiles, reinstall PS, then create the user profile? I don't know if the profile would be machine or user based. But I'm extrapolating from a Windows perspective, so my suggestion might be totally bogus.
