If you want to print your pictures, the standard is around 5000k. If you solely process pictures to release them to be viewed on digital media, you can simply go with a color temperature of 6500k, which is the standard for digital media processing. Calibrate for Web and Print are two different pairs of shoesĭepending on your goal this is important. You, of course, can't assume that all your users view your pictures on calibrated screens, that would be ludicrous, but you want that the pictures that leave your post-process have the best possible quality. You edit your photos on this and send them out on your Instagram feed and wonder why you get shitty or no response, that's because the picture probably looks completely off on a standard (non-calibrated) screen. Just assume you are using an ultra crappy, old, and not calibrated monitor for your post-processing, which has colors, contrast, and brightness levels that are totally off. If you want your viewers to have the best possible experience when viewing your photos, you got to calibrate your screen. You might wonder, why do I even need to calibrate my screen? Well, this depends entirely on what your approach to photography is and how much weight you put on how your viewers experience your work.

You don't specifically have to use a Spyder device, Displa圜AL works with other calibration devices too, but this article assumes you use a Spyder 5 and Windows 10/11 on the latest update. We will go through everything step-by-step.

Finally, we get to grayscale.In this tutorial, you will learn how to calibrate your screen using Displa圜AL and the Spyder 5 calibration device. You then go through setting color, tint and sharpness. I had already shut all of these off when I first used the display. CalMAN then tells you to shut off all of the Noise Reduction and any other picture "enhancement" settings from the display. Then I proceeded to verify that the 'Warm2' setting was the closest to our target as well - it was. It measured at 6608K OOTB with a Gamma of 2.19. I didn't need to do this as I already knew that Cinema mode is it. Next up was to check the various picture modes available to find the one that gets us closets to our goal - 6500K. So out of the box the C7 is acceptable! But I did break out all of the tools from the toolbox, so I kept going! The general consensus among the calibration community is that any dE less than 3 is acceptable. You can clearly see why people are recommending this mode out of the box! The highest dE (Delta Error) on grayscale is 1.707 on 90 and the highest on gamut was Yellow at 2.281. Here is the Pre-Calibration Readings from CalMAN 2017 ISF Calibration: I've read that this can be an issue for others but my numbers seemed to me to be consistent. I ran through several profile runs just to check them for consistency. The first run was Cinema Mode which I used the i1d3 profiled to the i1pro. I also setup all of my gear for calibration and let that accommodate as well. Since I haven't used the Chroma 5 in quite some time I decided to use these three options - i1d3 profiled to i1pro (Cinema), i1d3 no profile (ISF Expert BR) and the i1pro (ISF Expert DR).īefore starting calibration I let the C7 warm up for approximately 2 hours. I currently own these meters - i1pro1 rev. This also afforded me the opportunity to test meter selection as well. So CalMAN it is! CalMAN also just released a new version - CalMAN 2017 - so it will give me a chance to get my feet wet with that.Īfter doing some research online, I determined that the approach I was going to take was to calibrate 3 of the picture modes available on the C7 - Cinema, ISF Expert (Bright Room) and ISF Expert (Dark Room). For some reason it has issues with the connectivity of the meters and image generator.

Since I upgraded my laptop to a Surface Pro 4 I have had issues getting ChromaPure to work properly. The other options that I am aware of are Lightspace, HCFR (free) and ArgyllCMS/Displa圜al (free as well I believe).

I am currently up to date on two video calibration software packages - ChromaPure and CalMAN.

If you have any experience with this display and the calibration of it, feel free to add to it! This will be a thread detailing my ventures into calibrating LG's C7 OLED.
