hookk Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Hi D, I recently got a new screen (AOC I2367FH) and am having a hard time trying to get this right! After several attempts, I have the brightness acceptable (screen brightness is at 0 and used 90 luminance) but the color is off. Native was horrid, first pic is D65 and second is D55. My print is slightly more yellow and I cant get the screen to match. I have an Colormunki Display. Any suggestions? Much appreciated Here is the file Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Hi Karen, first, can you assure me that your light isn't the problem? It frequently is, in these situations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hookk Posted October 24, 2016 Author Share Posted October 24, 2016 Yeah, light is good, the same as I had with the old screen and that calibrated fine (until it died!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Great. You mentioned D55 and D65 - are those the Munki settings? What about the screen's presets? Have you tried a variety of those? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hookk Posted October 24, 2016 Author Share Posted October 24, 2016 Yip, they are the Munki settings. I have spent 2 days now going through each available setting and re-calibrating to each with little success. I might just do a reset on it and give it another go tomorrow because I think I need a really strong coffee about now. Also, the lab have sent me their ICC profile to soft proof and I saved it under LibraryColorsyncProfiles as suggested but when I go to View / Proof Setup / Custom, their is no available list in the dropdown box - see pic. Have I missed something? PS and laptop have both been restarted too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hookk Posted October 24, 2016 Author Share Posted October 24, 2016 Yes, I saw this article but I dont have any profiles showing in the dropdown box. It only shows Custom and then Other which is greyed out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Because you're looking in the wrong drop-down menu, ya goose! ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hookk Posted October 24, 2016 Author Share Posted October 24, 2016 I've clearly spent too much time behind this monitor! Thank you!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hookk Posted October 25, 2016 Author Share Posted October 25, 2016 Damien, I think I am there! But.... the reds on my screen seem just a bit too saturated. Does that mean I have not really managed to calibrate it properly yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Is that with or without the soft-proofing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hookk Posted October 25, 2016 Author Share Posted October 25, 2016 Without. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 And does the soft-proofing make any improvement to that particular red issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hookk Posted October 25, 2016 Author Share Posted October 25, 2016 Very slightly but the red on screen is still a bit too saturated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Ok, then you're going to have to live with it. It's just one of those things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
