i1 pro - this okay or redo ?


Recommended Posts

Finally going to calibrate my "new" (bought last spring) iMac monitor Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2017.

 

I was reading thru previous posts and Damiens files.  So I got on xrite's site and found this article https://www.xrite.com/service-support/poor_results_with_i1display_pro_on_mac

I followed their recommendations for my monitor and got this:  714322928_ScreenShot2018-11-10at2_18_11PM.thumb.png.2453b42c3a17cccea09d0cb896754873.png

oh I am going to pull my hair out.  I changed it to 100 as my target, lowered my screen lighting so it was 98 and got this as my final: Is it still too bright since it is saying 119 as actual?  If I'm still off any suggestions on what to put.

my old Monitor was 2012 and I had this as my settings:

but I could be totally wrong.  I will say they are spot on to the prints I have but close.  Closer if I put my brightness down one more and a tad less red on my monitor then in my photos - suggestions?  I hate calibrating.  I found 2 other prices I used to use with my old computer - wonder if I should try those profiles?

okay I did a custom.  I don't feel there's a huge difference but I'm just at the point I will deal with it.  I got my luminance down to 89 when I tried for custom 90.

I'm confused.  Are you following my instructions or not?

no because X-Rite put out something about using the new iMac retina screens and their profile so I was tweeting off theirs.  I'll try yours instead.  They wanted the monitor to be GB-LED - do you have an option on that

Okay I did it your way.  One thing I was doing wrong was on page 2 the 2nd dropdown I was using the default and not what you recommend -version 2 so I corrected that.  I'm stick with this for now.

well if I am honest I don't see much of a difference with the new profile.  I feel the screen is still brighter and the photos have more red then the screen.... Here's what I have right now.   873299230_ScreenShot2018-11-10at8_55_03PM.thumb.png.2da21c8125b6791b2629e69c76d54efc.png1374943647_ScreenShot2018-11-10at8_55_41PM.thumb.png.82bef6ff197a8e7c7e7d7fcb2cbaf992.png

 

Should I change my screen to the GB-LED like this article mentions?  https://www.xrite.com/service-support/poor_results_with_i1display_pro_on_mac

I did some research and read about this monitor - grrrr.  Anyways one of the posts mentioned doing 80 Luminance so I did that with all the other corrections.  I think we're closer.  but I forgot to screen shot the target/achieved when it was done...oops.
