Brightness not right

Please never underestimate the impact your surrounding light has on this calibration/comparison process. If your light is too dim (which is a very common problem) it will always make your prints seem darker than they really are, and cause you to think that your screen is too bright.

If you think, or even suspect, that your light is the culprit, take steps to rectify it. Get brighter bulbs if you can, or at least try assessing your prints in daylight. I would hate to be wasting your time with all of these calibration adjustments if the calibration wasn’t actually the problem.

If you’re sure the light is ok, read on …

Let’s try again.

Pull down the little menu in the bottom left corner of the screen, and choose “Calibration”:

That brings you to this screen:

Choose “FullCAL“, then press “Change Settings“:

… which brings you back to this familiar screen:

This is where you can choose your new targets for a different calibration.
