Colormunki display advanced calibration full#

I've found that adjusting RGB values to 95% of full range, before calibration, gives the best results. Since you want ColorMunki to adjust the color this is not a recommended option. It will then assume these colors are correct and generate a color profile to correct the luminance and gamma to the values you have selected. If you choose Native for the white point then ColorMunki sets your monitor to a user-defined preset in your OSD (on screen display) that includes adjustments for RGB values. When you calibrate with ColorMunki it will set your monitor to 6500 if it has a preset for this value and then fine-tune the results. Recommended white point is D65 or 6500° Kelvin. I work in a darkened environment and have found that 110 cd/m2 appropriate for my LCD monitor.

So if your prints are too dark, you need to lower the luminance level. That's because there is a tendency to reduce brightness when processing images. In a rather odd twist, if the display is too bright your prints will be too dark. Recommended luminance for CRT monitors is 100 cd/m2 and 120 cd/m2 for LCD monitors. When calibrating the display choose the Advanced radio button to set luminance and white point. I find disabling ADC necessary for accurate calibration. Features are similar but there are no provisions for ambient light correction, setting white point, specifying a custom gamma, and disabling ADC (Automatic Display Control). They also sell a less expensive version called ColorMunki Smile. If you purchase ColorMunki I suggest you skip the CD and download the latest software from X-Rite. Saves a profile that is automatically loaded when you start your computer. Dangle a sensor in front of your screen, press a few buttons, and you're done. Use a hardware calibration device, such as X-Rite's ColorMunki Display, for accurate monitor calibration.
