Calling to all iMac 2012 owners

[lanata]

Hello,

I recently bought an iMac 21.5" 2.7 Ghz and I'm having a hard time trying to calibrate the colors. I'm a graphic designer, and I need the right colors. Now, the screen looks too bright or too dark and it's hurting my eyes 🙁
Can somebody upload his/her ICC profile and share it with me?
I would really appreciate it!
Thanks

Hello,
I'm a graphic designer, and I need the right colors.

The only way you get accurate colors is to calibrate it yourself with something like this.

That's way out of my budget. I just need some ICC profile with the right calibration.

I'm also in the same boat as you. I'll be ordering a new iMac this week. I found this URL: http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/articles/icc_profiles.htm#a. Try the iMac 27 inch ICC profile and please let us know.

I've heard colormunki is a good way to calibrate your screen, not sure of cost though I'm afraid. 🙁

I thought they calibrate them right at the factory? I have one of them, and the screen colors look great...

Thanks for the link. I tried that profile and looks wrong to me. What I'm using right now is the original calibration with Shades (http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/23370/shades). It's not great, but close enough.
