Is there another screen in the house you can try calibrating? -

Which Calibrator is best for Mac
Damien Symonds replied to ColeWilson's topic in Monitor calibration questions or problems
No, honestly, both the X-Rite i1 Display Pro and the Spyder 5 Elite work great. Choose whichever one you can find at the best price.- 1 reply

That looks to be the one from the master file. May I also have the one from the print file? -
Good job.

General calibration question

Firefox needs its colour management to be turned on: https://www.damiensymonds.net/2012/01/web-browsers-and-facebook.html -
General calibration question
Damien Symonds replied to Teekay's topic in Monitor calibration questions or problems
Oh yeah, you mustn't use Chrome! It's not colour-managed. Only use Firefox, or Safari is moderately ok too. -
General calibration question
Damien Symonds replied to Teekay's topic in Monitor calibration questions or problems
Hi @Teekay, That's correct, but there's a little more to it than that. You must only compare to prints from a reputable pro lab, whom you can trust has calibrated THEIR equipment to the "world standard" that your correspondent mentioned. Yes, there is a world standard. If you calibrated to get a match to prints from a cheap lab in your local shopping centre (or even worse, a home printer), you're likely to be in trouble, you see? It's difficult to trust the cheaper labs, and impossible to trust home printers. As you probably know, even the very good labs print a tiny bit differently from each other. The "world standard" is genuinely hard to comply with. But they do their best. When you're calibrating and comparing, remember that your room light plays a heck of an important role. They are reckless. They definitely should be checking against prints to confirm their calibration. This might not be a calibration problem. It's more likely that she is editing in the wrong colour space. If she's editing in Adobe RGB, or even worse in ProPhoto RGB, this can happen. Do you know, or can you find out? However, it could also be a viewing problem at your end. Which web browser do you use? -
Glad you like it. I know you'll love that class if you take it in the future. Shouldn't you mask it off the little emblem, though?

Display CAl open source
Damien Symonds replied to Cindy's topic in Monitor calibration questions or problems
Well, I've seen some people say that it's better than the results with the real (manufacturers') software. But I take that with a grain of salt, because I suspect those people didn't know how to use the software properly. -
Display CAl open source
Damien Symonds replied to Cindy's topic in Monitor calibration questions or problems
I've never tried the DisplayCal software, so I have no idea how it works. I probably should do that some time. -
Display CAl open source
Damien Symonds replied to Cindy's topic in Monitor calibration questions or problems
No, as far as I've heard, he's exactly right. He's not saying you don't need a device. He's saying that this software replaces the software that comes with the device. -
sharp focus or need to calibrate?
Damien Symonds replied to Molly B's topic in Photo Gear & Equipment
That focus looks excellent. Please read the bolded paragraph about 2/3rds of the way down this page.
