All the important settings

Choose “FullCal” on this screen, and hit “Change Settings”:

This screen is the hub of the whole operation:

The Gamma must remain on 2.2 (no matter what out-of-date information you might have heard about Macs requiring a 1.8 gamma):

For Macs and laptops, 6500K shouldn’t be your White Point (not at first, anyway). Choose Do Not Adjust instead:

This is where it gets confusing Even though you’ve already adjusted the brightness, choose Adjust here:

No confusion with this one. Leave it off:

(Here, again, the Help will try to encourage you to turn this stupid function on.  Don’t do it.)

Is there a way to adjust the white point after it has calibrated? I’ve calibrated twice now and my prints are still showing up a tad warmer than what I’m seeing. But I’m not seeing anywhere else in the calibration to adjust the white point except for the option that you say to select “do not adjust”

The initial instructions, yes, calibrated in the dark, the lights in my room are white, or at least not warm. I guess I’m asking if there’s any other option besides the white point options it gives, and also, with the initial calibration, how do I know what white point it ends up being after calibrating, since I enter “do not adjust”?  I think going from do not adjust to 5800K would be too much? I will try it and see if it works but both times I’ve done a full calibration in the last 2 weeks, my screen ends up very cool toned, which I personally prefer, but I need my prints to match.

Yes, I meant I will try recalibrating again this time with the 5800K option. But I was wondering if from the first time I calibrated and selected do not adjust, how do I know what white point it ended up at? If it is at 6500K now, going from that to 5800 seems like quite a jump.

It's likely that it's even higher than 6500, actually, but you have to try.
