profiling my monitor to reproduce iPad colors
« on: June 01, 2012, 04:18:10 pm »

I would like to create a profile for my Spectraview SVII that will (as closely as possible) mimic the profile of the iPad.

There is not an easy way to do this. Is there any way to do this?

It's not doable yet.

Use MultiProfiler, or basICColor display 5

On second thought... To some extent it's also doable in SpectraView II - enter the "Edit Calibration Target">"Color Gamut" [Edit] and use chromatic coordinates of iPad primaries as a calibration target.

In MultiProfiler and basICColor display 5 you can use the internal 3DLUT of the display to make hardware-softproof with the ICC profile of an iPad.

Ok thank you, Sir.
 I have Multiprofiler and BasICColer Display 5.
 Silly question:

You can’t, IOS isn’t color managed. I wonder if it ever will be.

Best you can do is futz around with some software (MultiProfiler, SpectraView etc) altering values until you hit a visual match. Let’s hope the iPad display remains consistent over time or you’ll have the pleasure of doing this over and over again.

That's the tough part. You can use Air Display to read color paches, or use web browser, or ArgyllCMS

You can’t, IOS isn’t color managed. I wonder if it ever will be.
But it's doable to measure color patches from iPad display, build an ICC profile, and use it with MultiProfiler or basICColor display 5 to mimic the look of iPad on NEC.

Just a thought...

Is there a way to use your iPad as an external monitor?

Then you would just edit you image while viewing on the iPad and main monitor simultaneously.

FWIW I profiled the New iPad via i1Profiler + VNC. It's almost exactly sRGB. Try just to export in sRGB and you should be fine. :)

That doesn’t change the problems with IOS (no color management):

Kind of like saying you can calibrate and profile a display to match a non color managed preview. OK, they match. For a fixed period. Do two wrongs make a right?

We really need Apple to color managed the OS. Not make an OS color managed app match a non color managed app.

It's a lesser evil. What else can we do now? I'm not expecting iOS CM revolution any time soon ;)

Well according to the URL I posted below, it’s useless.

No URL

Mark

Above or below depends upon the way you read the forum, ie is the latest post shown at the top or bottom of the topic. I assume that digitaldog views the topic with the latest post at the top, hence the link he references is the link he gave in his earlier posting.

Regards
Nigel

PS My first thought matched yours, before I remembered the option in: Profile - Look and Layout Preferences - Show most recent posts at the top.

Which iPad are you aiming for?

The iPad 2 and new iPad are very different.

see charts: http://www.displaymate.com/iPad_ShootOut_1.htm

If you had an Eizo ColorEdge monitor you could use the new mobile device emulation feature of ColorNavigator 6.
Here is a video how they are doing it: http://www.eizo.com/global/products/videos/device_emulation/index.html
