In printing, however, this value would be too high, so for the profiling related to printing, I suggest a value of 100 cd/m2 or even 80 cd/m2.

Here a world of possibilities opens up, but if the objective is to profile your monitor for post-production photography, the choice I recommend is to opt for the CIE illuminant D65.Ībout Luminance, I suggest you choose the value of 120 cd/m2: this is the value I normally use when I work on my images. Once this is done, let’s select the “ White Point“.

If you have an external photographic screen and you are in doubt as to whether the automatic selection is correct, I suggest you consult the website For my MacBook Pro with retina display, White LED is correctly selected.

The software should automatically detect the panel we are using, but if this does not happen or if you have any doubts, you can do it manually from the drop-down menu. Yes, setting the display means actually going to perform the calibration.įirst, let’s specify the panel technology of the screen we want to profile.

In Energy Saving, disable the various energy saving modesĪnother very important thing: before performing the calibration leave the monitor on for at least half an hour: in this way all the components will stabilize thermally, simulating at best the conditions in which we will work later.

Under Accessibility, set “Monitor Contrast” to “Normal”.

In Display, make sure that “Night Shift” is not active.

In Display, uncheck “Automatically adjust brightness”.

If like me you are profiling a Mac, here are some suggested settings to set in System Preferences before you start calibrating:

If it is your laptop you have hardly acted manually on too many parameters, but especially if you have an external monitor, remember to reset from the OSD menu of the monitor at least brightness and contrast.

Once this is done, you should first reset any manual settings you have made to your monitor. Whether or not it is a latest-generation monitor, there are good practices that should be observed before proceeding with calibration and profiling.īefore you start, clean the monitor! It seems trivial, but dirt or fingerprints at the surface where we’ll place our probe would compromise the profiling. Simple, isn’t it? Quite the contrary, but as I told you the goal of this article is to allow you to perform calibration rather than get bored with the theory. The software at this point goes to describe in a language independent of the display media the behavior of the monitor and creates the mythological ICC profile that basically tells the video card (or the LUT) how much it must “err” to display our images correctly. On the other hand, our probe (in this case i1Display Pro) receives what the monitor displays and tells the software what it reads. In essence, and as always trivializing, the process of calibration and profiling works like this: after setting (calibrating) the monitor correctly, the software (in this case iProfiler) displays on the screen patches of different and known tones.

X-Rite i1Display Pro (which I have already reviewed, so find all the details HERE) consists of two main elements:
