6.2.5. Creating A Profile with
“Calibration”
After completing steps
6.2.1.
through
6.2.4.
, LaCie blue eye will
finish calibration by creating a custom ICC profile of your moni-
tor based on the information provided to the program by mea-
suring color patches with the LaCie blue eye colorimeter. Press
the
Start
button to begin the profiling process.
6.2.6. Saving The Profile
Once all steps are complete, the
Save Profile
window will au-
tomatically appear. In this window, you can simply choose the
default filename, or enter a custom filename for your profile to
be saved under. The default profile filename contains the date of
calibration, color temperature, gamma and luminance settings.
With this practical format you can easily remember, at a future
date, when your last calibration took place, and what the settings
were. Once you have chosen the profile’s filename, click on the
Save Profile
button. Your new profile automatically becomes
the current profile for your monitor settings.
During this process, ensure that nothing disrupts the measure-
ment: the LaCie blue eye colorimeter should remain aligned on
the measurement area at all times and no other window should
appear on the monitor.
CAUTION:
Do not modify your monitor’s OSD settings, or you
will have to restart the entire calibration process.
IMPORTANT INFO:
The correctness of the ICC profile de-
pends on your monitor’s OSD settings. If at any time you need
to change them, you will need to rebuild a profile. Likewise, if
you want to change your monitor’s settings (to move to a differ-
ent White Point, for instance) you will need to rebuild a profile.
