I have the SpyderX Pro calibrator, which is super efficient, reliable and also much easier to use and understand, without so much technical information that can make it difficult for those who are not very knowledgeable in the matter.
I've recently entered into the wonderful new world of a MacBook Pro. I've always calibrated my PC monitor with an older colormunki which worked well. Unless I'm missing something, I cannot find info on how, or even if, you can use the colormunki on the M1 MacBook. I just received a printed image from Mpix and it is way warmer than what the display shows on the MacBook. Am I missing something???
Thank you!!
I just did this on my new mac laptop- weirdly it made the screen look kinda orange- not sure if this is how it should be.. in comparision with the RGB 1998 profile. hmm.
Cow viewsonic do you recommend it .?
The new M1 Macs laptops are extremely difficult to do custom profiles on. Apple has built-in calibration profiles and they make it difficult to use anything but those profiles. The same goes if you have one of the new expensive pro Apple displays. I imagine the same might be true for new M1 iMacs.
I just did it on my new mac laptop- kinda feels like it made the screen too warm. Not sure... I maybe prefer the Adobe 1998 screen instead. Kinda confused as what to do now.
I had to reduce my brightness quite a bit to run thr calibration. Is that the brightness I need to use now when I edit photos in LRC? Or can I increase my brightness. Thanks for your guidance! Great video
You should always go back to that "calibration" brightness when editing. Changing the brightness also changes the gamut of colors that the monitor can display. Turning up the brightness kinda shoves the colors towards the white end of the gamut. If you find it harder to see the screen at that brightness, then you need to reduce the lighting in the room. Then you will also need to give your eyes time to adjust before editing.
Even with calibration, will the photos look more accurate from your Mac display to even your phone ?
When you said "click the button below below" at 3:07 it's greyed out so you can't click on it. Then you cut the video. What caused it to be greyed out? It's happening with mine and I can't get around it.
Could you indicate under which lighting conditions one should calibrate a monitor? I recently purchased a Calibrite Display Pro HL monitor calibration device and use an Apple Studio Display. I would appreciate hearing from you.
Calibrate the monitor under the lighting conditions you will be working in. Lights on or off or whatever the lighting is in the room you are editing in.
Some people may just want to display their pics online i guess
This needs to be done from the service menu so the results are permanent
my monitor looks warm as shit now.
The first thing you should do is buy an Adobe RGB monitor and not use an sRGB one like the Apple iMac!
How to calibrate monitor: "spend 250$ dollars"
x-rite made their software paid only. Wtf ....
If you are talking about calibrating a monitor, in preparation for printing, then why in the world are you using that calibration sensor? It cannot be used to calibrate printers. That same company makes a spectrometer-based color calibration sensor that works both for monitors AND printers. If people go out and buy the sensor you are recommending, they will then have to go buy yet another sensor when they want to print. And that second sensor will make their first one redundant. Are you literally trying to waste your viewers' money?
