a, software calibration
Software calibration PC commonly used adboegamma, when installing photoshop6.0 or later, will be automatically installed on the computer, at the same time, there will be AdobeGammaLoader.exe in the startup project, this time, start the adboegamma in the control panel, you can Correct it. The specific method of correction will not be discussed here. There are many on the Internet.
Here only emphasize two points: color temperature must be adjusted to 6500K, do not use 9300K, although many people used to 9300K cold white, but that does not meet the printing requirements. 6500K may look a little yellow at first, but our eyes have a strong adaptability to the white field, you do not think it is yellow when you see it! The second is: if the output image is a CMYK image for printing, a Gamma value of 1.8 is recommended; if the image is to be output on a device in RGB color mode (such as other monitors, film recorders, or RGB printers), the Gamma value is generally set. It is 2.2. Instead of people talking about the PC gamma is 2.2, Mac is 1.8.
The Mac computer comes with a display calibration GammaControl Panel. The use of this method is basically the same as that of adboegamma. We will not talk about it anymore.
After correction, an icc file of the monitor will be generated, the file will be saved, and the software will automatically call it as the monitor's icc file.
The above software calibration method is more effective for flat panel displays, but it is not easy to use for LCD monitors.
b. If you have high color requirements, or if the software adjustment is not satisfactory, you need to use a screen correction instrument to correct
The commonly used screen correction instruments are Spyder and Eye-One Display.
Spyder is divided into three different price products:
Fast Spider (Green Spider) Spyder2express, 850-980 yuan
Advanced Spider (Blue Spider) Spyder2stuite, 1600-1950 Yuan
Professional spider (red spider) Spyder2PRO, 3000-3400 yuan which blue spider and red spider are only software differences, the hardware is the same.
Eye-OneDisplay only one, about 3,000 yuan.
This type of calibration equipment has more detailed specifications after purchase. The software of Spyder is still in Chinese, and everyone can get started quickly after purchase.
When using these devices, be sure to remove the adobe gamma from your computer's startup, and then restart the computer for correction (the computer screen must remain on for more than 30 minutes before it can be adjusted to allow the monitor to work stably).
For PCs with ATI graphics cards, you also need to update the graphics driver to the latest (can be downloaded from the Internet), otherwise the effects of Eye-One Display adjustments will not remain.
You can also contact us directly using our display calibration service. We use a spectrophotometer to calibrate your monitor for better results. Please refer to the monitor calibration service page for details.
Ok, our monitor has been adjusted and it has entered a good working condition. Now we are here to talk about:
