Get used to it No other monitor will look the same, and (homemade) prints can be different than the orginal on screen, program updates can mess up the use of profiles too and so on.Ĭonvert to profile 611966.2.1 for web, or any other outputprofile for that particular output. And when you start with colorprofiling, a lot of weird unexplanable things will happen to your colors. When you start photoshop afterwards, colors might be off. Some computers mess up the monitor-colorprofile when playing a game. Start by setting the black to zero and the contrast to 100. After selecting a color temperature and gamma, the next calibration step involves setting the black (brightness) and white (contrast) levels to their optimum values. (there's no reason to use Argb on webphoto's as 95% of the people have monitors that can't show that Gamut) Ideally, a monitor calibration system allows calibrating to the native gamma. Webbrowsers that don't support colorprofiles still show the best quality, rather than non-profiled photo's. If you work mostly on web, don't forget to include the Srgb IEC 61966.2.1 profile in the photo's ( convert to profile). DON'T forget to convert to Srgb IEC 611966.2.1 when saving for web. for the best colorquality (gamut), use Argb in camera, and Argb as your colorworkspace in photoshop (or any other editprogram). Use the same colorworkspace in your photo-edditingprogram as the settings of your camera (or any other input). You don't have white ink in there do you? ) (yellow paper will show weird whites as the computer thinks you are using white paper. PROOF when printing only uses the colorprofile that comes with paper. Don't mess things up by using your monitor-profile in Photoshop or so, ONLY on your graphicscard-settings, AND NOWHERE ELSE. Maybe you already know this, but just as extra info: The difference with the Elite (i have been told, don't know for sure) is only software i thought. So glad I seem closer to a solution now.I have the spider pro. And, yeah, I was close to tears at one point. Spent hours staring at patterns that were just a little too much on the greenish side of "neutral" grey. I was up two nights in a row trying to fix this. I'll know for sure when the hardware arrives. I don't think the problem is beyond corrective tweaking, after all. I used the mcw10 tool from simtel to calibrate then corrected against the patterns from avsforum. I'd never given display calibration that much thought before and I have to admit that, at first, I didn't think correcting my monitor's problem would be so frustrating. This new one, however, was out of whack right out the box. In the end, however, I decided to stick with Samsung - mostly because my old Samsung proved itself such a good piece of hardware. My brother has one and the presets on it work fine, too. I'd like another attempt at better color quality on this monitor before I start thinking about sending it back for a replacement. Not the best, I know, but I think I should be able to at least get average color quality from it. I have a Samsung S24B300HL - which I have running at its native resolution of 1920x1080 at 60Hz. I always end up with images that are tinted with too much green, too much red, or too much blue. So I have been trying - quite unsuccessfully - to calibrate my monitor using both the software provided by its manufacturer and Windows' calibration utility. The default and "AUTO" settings on my monitor are clearly out of kilter. Have you guys had any success calibrating your monitors using online utilities? If so, which one do you think is the best? I've tried a few already, but none have proved sufficient. Can you guys suggest good monitor calibration software? I would of course prefer freeware - or else something that isn't too expensive.Īlso, I know there are actually some sites that offer free calibrating guides - basic stuff, of course - but supposedly good enough to permit reasonably accurate colors.
