3.5 Calibration and profiling
Before starting the calibration and profiling process, you need to enter
a profile name.
SpectraView Profiler is pre-configured to suggest the
monitor’s name as the profile name. If you change the name, the new
name will become the de- fault. Refer to the advanced part of the manual
for changing the default name.
Clicking the
<Start> button will open a new measurement window. Position
the instrument in the measurement area of this window. On the right side
of the window you can see the measurement values during the calibration
and profiling process (delayed by one patch). Click the
<Measure> button
to start the calibration and profiling process.
The measurement process can be divided into four sections:
3.5.1 Measuring color characteristic...
The first step of the calibration is to gather the actual color properties of the
monitor. This is required to determine the parameters for calibration and profil-
ing.
3.5.2 Setting the white point...
This step sets the color temperature in the monitor hard- ware or via
video-LUTs in the graphics card.
As the final setting before starting the calibration
and profiling process a name for the ICC-profile
has to be entered.
