View Full Version : Need help color calibrating monitor using color meter

I could use some help in finding out how to properly calibrate and save my color profile for my monitor. Before switching to Mac, I used an "X-Rite Eye One Display 2" color meter device with software. You can find them most places like Amazon for about $150. The device should still work, but I can't find any software for it for the Mac. After going to the X-Rite web site, I could find no software at all for the Mac as it is only windows based.

Surely someone out there has used a color meter such as this one as they are quite popular especially for graphics artists that use professional graphic monitors. I am hoping someone can tell me how to use my color meter (USB), what software for Mac Leopard I need and how to save the color profile in the Mac OS.

Thanks for any help.

I looked up the model number on amazon and it returned as EODIS2, these are the results that turned up on the x-rite site.

It's the i1 match software, from the links milk has posted .

Using it is very easy.
