Calibrating monitor colors visually
You can use the Adjust Display Color option to calibrate monitor colors visually to match sample
output colors, or numerically to match specific color values.
To match monitor colors with a printer’s output, you can print sample colors on the printer and
compare the printed output with the monitor colors. This color management option is simpler
than using the Kodak Digital Science or Apple ColorSync CMS, but it may be less accurate.
To calibrate your monitor using the Adjust Display Colors option:
1
Choose a set of test colors to which you want to calibrate your monitor. Use a color swatch
book, or print sample colors from the target printer.
2
To display colors preferences, do one of the following:
•
In Windows, press U, then click the Colors tab.
•
On the Macintosh, press U, then click the Colors category.
3
Select Adjust Display Colors from the color management type pop-up menu.
4
Click Calibrate.
The Display Color Setup dialog box appears.
Click to open the Display
Color Setup dialog box.
Click a color to adjust
the color’s values.
