Settings for Coloreyes Display Pro
« on: November 10, 2009, 02:48:51 pm »

Per advice on an earlier post, I installed Color Eyes Display Pro 1.5.2 to calibrate my monitor to deal with a problem of my prints being too dark.  When I get to the Hardware Setup page, there are several choices including White Point, where I can select standard settings(D50,D65,Natice White,Other) or measure with sensor(Luminance:maximum or other).  Next, comes Gamma where I have a choice of L*(reccomended by program),1.8, or 2.2.  Then comes Black Point, where I have a choice of Relative(recommended by program) or Absolute black rendering, followed by a choice of either Luminance (Minimum or Other) or Contrast Ratio.  I am working on a Dell 4700 PC with a Dell 2408wfp monitor and plan to send my files to a lab called WHCC for printing.  Typically, I do my Photoshop work in a room illuminated by daylight.  Please send me any suggestions for what settings I should chose.  Thank you, Chuck

The correct settings are the ones which get your screen and prints to match!
FWIW, mine are:   White point: native 100cd/m2     Gamma: L star      Black Point:  minimum luminance

I'm gradually learning what some of these calibration terms mean, but wish there was a good tutorial to help me chose the proper settings.

Last time I looked, the Color Eyes site, it was a bit short on tutorials, which is a shame given its price. For a wider look at the subject you could go to
