seth_prince Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 i'm using an i-1 display on a lacie ebIV 19". mac platform. i've done a few different calibrations in a row and seem to be getting rather varied results. i've only used the "easy" mode because with "advanced" the result is VASTLY different. i believe i should be using a gamma of 2.2 and D65 white point. do i set these in the OSD before doing the the calibration? in other words, is "easy" calibration dependent on these settings or are they taken into account in the process. If i change the gamma and white point after a calibration, should i re-calibrate my monitor for the new settings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan_chan4 Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 You might try to calibrate at night with all lights off (completely dark room). In the advance mode, you are allowed to set the R/G/B individually on the monitor until it matches 6500K (don't assume the defaut monitor 6500K setting is accurate). Have you try the latest Match 3.4 BTW? >If i change the gamma and white point after a calibration, should i re-calibrate my monitor for the new settings? Yes. All monitor settings should be left untouched after calibration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seth_prince Posted February 21, 2006 Author Share Posted February 21, 2006 yes, i calibrate in a dark room. i've got version 3.4. but i'm wondering if in the "easy" mode i set gamma and white point in the OSD, or does the "easy" calibration do that for me?

Tim_Lookingbill Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Make sure the OSD isn't under or near the puck while setting white point, brightness/contrast. That can throw measurements off as well. Check the FAQ section on GMB's site. I've found a lot of info not mentioned in the help section of i1 Match software. For instance it indicates using the Laptop mode to get a simplified RGB gamma curve over the wrinkly one that shows up in the graph at the end of a calibration using CRT or LCD mode.

rffffffff Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 I have no idea about mac stuff, but on the PC, adobe gamma is installed when you install photoshop and set to run everytime the computer boots... make sure, if it exists for mac, that its not running.

Uhooru Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Actually, does anyone know how you turn if off in OSX? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rffffffff Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 I just googled this a bit... according to colovisions website, it isnt necessary to disable gamma on a mac... you can basically disregard everything I have posted here! http://www.colorvision.com/faq_detail.jsp?faq_id=103 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathyscholl Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 For what it 's worth I just read this here: "Avoid the "Easy" mode, as this chooses the default, overly bright settings." http://www.drycreekphoto.com/Learn/monitor_calibration_tools.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
