Calibration on Imac

[Kimberly C.]

I have followed your steps over and over for calibrating my new imac with spyder4.  My screens brightness is good, but it pulls more on the magenta side. I am at aloss of how to trouble shoot this.  

[Kimberly C.]

as well I should mention that my print is more on the yellow side.

Which Spyder4 is it?

When people talk of "magenta vs yellow" it makes me suspect they're myopically looking at skintones only.

Can you promise me you're looking at ENTIRE photos when you're telling me that the print is yellow?

[Kimberly C.]

Yes that is correct. It is the entire photo.  and I have compared several test prints

[Damien Symonds]

Great.

Have you tried varying this setting with each calibration?  http://www.damiensymonds.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/38.-s5p34.gif

Yes I tried all 3 settings but the do not adjust one.  It seemed as though I need to be up around 7000K

 

[Damien Symonds]

Wait, what?  The Do Not Adjust one should have been the very first one you used, wasn't it?

[Kimberly C.]

oh gosh now I can't recall.  I tried it for hours.  I just checked. Mine has 5000K 5800K 6500k recommended and Native.  I don't recall trying the native one.

[Damien Symonds]

Look, it probably won't make any difference, but since you're in desperate straits, you'd better try it.

[Kimberly C.]

Ok I will do so, and get back to you on that.  Thanks
