Remember that the colors on your moniter will look different when you're using different lighting by your computer. Florescent, natural, etc.

whre can I get adobe gamma?

Adobe Photoshop, version 7.0 and above installs it on your machine by default. You can access it (on windows) by your control panel.

I had develop my own tech to calibrate. I have 2 profiles. Camera and Print. The camera is the profile that comes with my Nikon. Adjusted to my monitor conditions. To calibrate I setup the camera on tripod side by side with monitor, put one photo in the display and the same photo in computer screen (Adobe Gamma don´t uses full screen, then I´m able to see part of the image), and calibrate based on Nikon´s profile until I get the same llok as I get in the cameras LCD monitor. Results are great. I´m really don´t see noticeable diferences when saw the image at PC.
The print prfile was done sending, straight out from camera to a print store that I choose to work. I made the print and ask for the ICC profile of the printer (Fuji). They give me th profile then I use it as base profile for Adobe Gamma. Print results are clearly diferent from PC and Camera´s monitor results. Then a put the print side by side with my PC monitor and repeat the process using the color profile of Fuji as base profile. Now, when I go to print, I load the Print Profile and adjust colors to my taste to be more natural. The results are incredible. I can really get what I saw.

Holy Crap! Things are really bright now! I think a bit too much! The RGB part of it was hard! No matter where I put the slider it doesnt blend in!

I can finally see what others were talking about in my PWL entry! Damn! I wish I had done this early! I really think it was a winner! Curses!

Things look a bit washed out tho. Is it possible that I over did it?

Just wanted to bump this up to remind folks to please make sure their monitors are calibrated. The "it's too dark" comments recently are really getting annoying.

Carry on.
