Calibrating LaCie 300/500/700 Series Monitors
User Manual

The
Reference Profile Setting
allows you to calibrate your
monitor to closely match another monitor. This allows you to
ensure colors are closely matched between two monitors con-
nected to the same computer or on two different computers. All
related calibration settings, including advanced settings, such as
specific Black Point or Chromatic adaptation, are memorized,
included in the calibration without the need for further setup, and
locked, thus preventing any accidental change.
This feature can also be used as an easy and safe way to setup
your calibration even if you only have a single monitor. Instead
of specifying all settings, which may be complicated and un-
safe, a single file is used as a reference profile to define the
“standard”. Once the reference profile is selected, its settings
will be used for any future calibration. All calibration settings are
locked, making accidental wrong calibration impossible. To use
this feature, you must:
1. Create a profile with LaCie Blue eye pro using your favorite
settings on any Mac or PC. Follow the standard Calibration
process including Advanced Settings if necessary; see Chap-
ters

puters, simply copy it in the profile folder of every computer
on which you want to apply the reference profile.

computer, go directly to step 5.
