ACR + monitor calibration

• Color management in PS and monitor calibration

  I calibrated my colors of monitors with a colorimeter Eye One Display 2 and for photoshop, I attributed the monitors that he created the color profile to the work area (Edition > assign profile).
  But for photography I take pictures with the color profile setting AdobeRGB on my camera... should I use this instead of that color profile when working on photos in PS? They look a bit washed out. I guess I should continue to use my profile of monitors calibrated instead?
  
  And photos save a jpg for the web, should I check "ICC profile" box that lists my monitors color profile when registering? Because I noticed that now some browsers began to support ICC profiles. So in Firefox 4 BETA for example, if I do not use the ICC profile setting the colors look washed on other monitors.
  (Note that the ICC profile for jpg setting is available in file > save under... If I go to file > save for Web and devices there embed the color profile that is basically the same thing).

  I was confused in the same way and some time ago I asked a similar question here, but now I think I understand better and will try to explain. I'd appreciate also correction or a confirmation of those who understand this.

  Photoshop like all other color management programs, knows how the monitor displays colors of the color profile that is installed in the system.

  When you use an image with an embedded profile, Photoshop converts the properly display (not the actual numbers) of color values so that the planned colors are displayed as accurately as possible.

  The profiles selected for workstations in the color settings will be affected only in the following situations:

  • When you create a new image, given that it is not replaced in the new options window dialog
  • When in the color settings color management policies are set to perform the conversion of workspace - this will convert the actual number of color values
  • When you choose not to handle colors in the profile attribute in the Edit menu - this will change the display as if the image was created with the current working space profile, will not change the number of color values.

  If an image is with the same color in the system monitor profile then there is no color management past up to the conversion or Proofing color with a different profile.

  It is recommended to work in a popular as sRGB or AdobeRGB color space, because the color management wise when the images are intended to be affixed to the devices and various monitors and more common ground as sRGB is used as a reference instead of a particular monitor color space.

• monitor calibration system

  Can anyone recommend a good monitor calibration system (budget $300 limit)? I'll work on a book intended for offset printing press 4 colours, and the color is a major factor in the book. I'll never be, so I think it's time to take seriously the monitor calibration. I'm working on a new iMac, so I think that a good calibration system would be useful.

  Any thoughts? (Dumb question)

  Thanks in advance.

• Problem of monitor calibration

  It's really more a matter of Dell, but I guess that I have a better chance of getting an answer here I have to do with Dell technical support.

  I used an X-Rite i1Display Pro to calibrate my screen XPS1645 laptop, my Dell U2713H and my Cintiq 21UX, using a D65 white point. I want to create a second profile for each display, using a D50 white point. However, the Dell UltraSharp (latest version 1.5.10, in advanced mode) calibration Solution no longer displays a white point with the U2713H option. With the XPS and the Cintiq, no problem, but with the U2713H, the software display settings show primary RGB and Luminance, but no White Point. X-Rite support could not explain it. (Thanks, X-Rite). They suggested that I ask the support of level 3 of Dell. I thought I'd try this first forum. A someone that has met and solved this problem?

  You do not have the monitor in a fixed point-to-point white preset, such as sRGB or Adobe RGB? They are the two D65.

  When you use a calibrator that the monitor must be in native mode, no emulation. It is usually the predefined 'custom' or something similar.

• (Redirected) I need assistance with my monitor calibration.

  the colors on my screen are disabled. In the calibration screen, everything seems fine but when I shoot pictures in photoshop that have a lot of white in them they look yellow. Photoshop also gives me this message.

  If I say to use, in any case the photo looks like this

  But if I said to ignore the profile, it seems.

  Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

• What temperature of monitor calibration depends on season?

  I just bought X-rite calibration kit, but one thing makes me curious. Should I set more point cold white (6500K) for the summer and warmer (5000K) for the winter?

  Climate warming will affect my current settings?

  There is no "correct" value for the white point - or rather, the correct value is that which gives you a Visual correspondence from the white screen of white paper. This applies to the luminance as well.

  First of all, you must have a working controlled - environment precisely to avoid the seasons or the time of day affect your perception. Windows are always a problem; protect them as much as you can.

  Get a Visual correspondence depends a lot of ambient light and the observing conditions. If strictly in the sense you are on the right idea (although it would be the other way around), but this can be addressed in a schematic way. It is much more subtle and require some trial and error.

  There are two ways to attack this. If you print yourself, this can be controlled very precisely by implementing a viewing print station, using light controlled, preferably right next to the screen. Then you calibration settings, visually, to match as closely as possible. The white point must not be 6500K or 5000K, it may be something between the two. It doesn't even have to be along the Kelvin scale, well, you had to adjust along the Green/magenta axis as well. Some white paper matches is the correct white point.

  If you work for offset printing, or other off-site, you have less control and need to be listening "medium" print conditions But the same principle applies: = white screen white paper. Even if you work exclusively for (web) screen, this will put you on the same page that people who calibrate similarly.

  Often overlooked, but equally important, is the beach of point black/contrast. Again, the print output is the key. A glossy photo of good quality paper can have a range of around 300: 1 contrast. Papers masts considerably less, perhaps 150:1 and offset print even lower. In practice, this means a blackhead around 0.3 - 0.5 cd/m². With i1Profiler you directly set contrast range.

  Monitor as manufacturers announce a high contrast, like 1000: 1 or greater. In reality, which means you're in for an unpleasant surprise when you see the final result on paper.

• Software/hardware to monitor calibration?

  Hello, all the...

  I asked this same question, essentially, a week ago, but got no response.

  Next week I'll be buying an Apple Thunderbolt Display Monitor. I have a hueyPro calibration device I've used on my MacBook Pro in the past with a bit of luck, but I'm looking for suggestions for hardware/software solutions to calibrate the new monitor for Photoshop work.

  I am specifically looking to the Spyder4Elite - someone has an experience with this device? And the software on a Mac? Looks like it will do what I want it to do, but I am curious about its use on the DAE.

  Any advice? Don't tell me I need another monitor - I need all ports which provides the ATD.

  Thank you

  Clinton

  The lack of response can be explained by the fact that probably not many people involved with critical color also work on your laptop, even a fancy like the MacBook Pro.

• The computer monitor calibration

  Hi all

  
  Since then, I am now seriously Pre Pro and AE, I think its time to overcome the uncertainty about how to calibrate.   The only thing I have to judge the color of my work is my computer screens and television when I burn a DVD.

  So I am looking for any advice during calibration.  I use an Apple monitor and an old HP 72 monitor to my second screen.

  When show controls in system preferences, I was wondering does choose any particular resolution made for a display better or more accurate video on the monitor.

  My Systerm preferences color screen has 5 display profiles including the one I created with the calibration Assistant: (1) Cinema HD (which I created after you have used the wizard of Cailibrator);    (2) adobe RGB (1998).   (3) generic RGB profile;   (4) D8904CN21 HP (my second monitor); and (5) sRGB IEC61966 - 2.1

  Which one should I use?

  Thank you

  For video work, always leave the default sRGB. Everything else would be just tilt the color any more away. Yet, without a proper calibration device, which is going to be perfect, either. You screen brightness could be a basket case, could have set the color in 1 million other places on the monitor or the graphics card and so on... It really comes down to measure on your screens and create a color profile for them. So, if you are really interested, at least borrow a Spyder, EyeOne, Colormunki or similar to see, once how your screens should actually look like, when they are 'neutral '.

• Monitor calibration - recommended settings?

  Hello.
  
  I have a Lacie320 monitor and I calibrate with a Display 2 EyeOne. My question is about the parameters. I have currently calibrated so the gamma is 2.2, the color temperature is 6500 k, and the luminance is 120. It is an ideal place? I often don't print my work, and it's especially on the web. I work in a very dark room, with little or no ambient light shining on the monitor. My luminance should be less?
  
  If someone could tell me if what I'm doing is right or not, it would be great. I'm always up when I see my pictures on another computer and they are completely different.
  
  Thank you!
  

  Jeremy,

  Some people seem happy with their monitor to print match using the settings that you have posted.  I never could get a good match with these settings.  My impressions ALWAYS looked too yellow and too dark (in fact, the monitor is too blue and too bright, so while editing, you blow up the yellow and turn down the brightness, which is what appears in your print... too dark and yellow).

  You can create two separate calibrations, one for the web and for print.  My main concern is to print results, so I calibrate my monitor to 5200 K, 2.2 g, 90 cd/m2.  Seems pretty close to perfection for my setup. I would recommend anywhere between 5000K and 5500 K color and 85 to 100 cd/m2 for the luminance.  I leave my monitor has put out there, even for my work based on the web, knowing that others can see my images brighter and cooler.  I don't worry about internet as monitors of the peoples are anyway in all directions.

  On a Mac, you can change the profiles to monitor any time you want, without any additional software.

  If you're on a PC, download (free) DisplayProfile.exe the site of XRite.  It allows you to load different profiles in your map video on the fly.  It requires the proper profile, but ProfileMaker tags both EyeOne Display (Eye One Match) have these tags.  They have a complementary, also free, program called Tester calibration, which shows the curves of writing to the video card, but this is not necessary unless you are curious and just want to play.

• HP 23xi monitor calibration

  I own a PC Toshiba laptop p875-7102-i7-3630qm Windows 8 with a brilliant display of 17.3 "1920 x 1080. It uses the integrated graphic chip Intel HD 4000.  I bought the HP 23xi based monitor very there comments.  Here's the thing, though: no matter what I do, I can't seem to get rid of the yellowish, this monitor seems to display.  Using HDMI, and VGA inputs (and BTW, the VGA seems better!), I was not able to get rid of it. Is it because of the on-screen anti-reflection coating? This is an IPS monitor, which I thought was supposed to lead to the best color saturation.  Compared side by side with the Toshiba screen clean laptop screen, the HP monitor is not as bright (painted white Web page especially to look much more yellow-brown).  In fact, it seems that Toshiba display is fresher and brighter. The HP is perhaps actually more precise color-wise-I don't know.  For those of you who own the HP, thanks for posting your picture settings and also if you get a better picture via the VGA input as opposed to HDMI (especially with the text).  On a separate note, I can't get audio when you use the HDMI, but I'll head to the Toshiba forums at this problem.  All my drivers for display, including CV, are up to date.

  I understand that your 23xi monitor does not display the colors as expected.

  It is similar to the question of the wrong colors in this document?

  Some monitors need a driver installed on the system before they work properly.  This driver has been installed?

• Calibration of the monitor... L * settings?

  I usaully calibrate my monitor to a gamma of 2.2, but it has been suggedted she can?  better to use the gamma L *.

  Can someone give me some info if this is true?, or,

  Give me a link explaining the optimum settings in gamma of the monitor calibration settings?

  Any help would be appreciated,

  Thank you

  Mike

  There is no optimal target. Only L * if you have a really good monitor that can be calibrated to a deltaE in point 1 and you know very well what you are doing. Very few applications (only the properly color managed ones) will show you a correct color if you go. Otherwise, you should choose 2.2 and 6500 K for almost all cases. If you do a lot of internal printing and have a view calibrated printing environment, it sometimes makes sense to go for calibration of color temperature 5800 k. For some screens, it is better to use the native color temperature and the native gamma for calibration, but most of the screens do not need that.

  Essentially if you have to ask, you probably won't do.

• Calibration of the camera in ACR and DNG Profile Editor

  I'm having the hardest time finding how to use camera generated with DNG Profile Editor in Camera Raw profiles.
  
  I use Photoshop CS4 under Windows 7. I generated the file .dcp with DNG Profile Editor and saved in the folder: Program Files/Adobe/Photoshop CS4/Presets/Camera Profiles.
  
  This is as far as I'm away. I was not able use this profile in ACR camera Calibration tab. I was led to believe it is displayed automatically. I found no video tutorials related to the cab and the installation of camera profiles. They all seem to relate to Lightroom.
  
  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Here's what I do:

  1. Open DNG Profile Editor
  2. Open or DNG files with image checker
  3. Define the brands from four corners
  4. Generate the profile
  5. Select the file-> Export
  6. Dcp generated file is saved in C:\Users\m\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles

• 7.1 iMac monitor problems

  On restart, the screen saver seems fine... for about a half second.  Something happens which causes become very dark and too saturated colors.  The monitor calibration does not help.  By pressing 'shift' to reboot and then the connection has not helped.  Suggestions?

  Hi and welcome to Apple Support communities,

  What happens when you re - calibrate your monitor's color profile?

  Calibration involves a number of steps:

  Initial setup in which the contrast and brightness are adjusted, then native gamma correction to adjust the brightness of your screen, then the gamma target screen (which is 'desired' your screen gamma level), then the "white point" display for color correction, then the profile "name" and that concludes the basic calibration.

  You can also turn on "Expert Mode" If you want to go deeper with your calibration, but it's for users or if basic calibration will not give the expected results...

  If you cannot resolve the problem with the OS X screen calibration, then I suggest you have an Apple Store or authorized service provider take a look at your machine to check the defects in the operating system and the hardware.

  Good luck!

  Kind regards

  Peter.
