Post Your Screen Calibrations!

bootcamp on aluminum

Hi all,
Any chance that anyone with spider and a new macbook aluminum could generate a proper icc for windows?

There are some problems with the color calibration in windows with nvidia drivers. You can find out more here.

Thanks in advenced,
Julián
 
kis,
i like your color profile much. BUT just a bit under expose for me ... how do i make (calibrate) it level a bit high?

Can someone please post the factory profile for the new macbook. I accidently deleted mine and the calibration utility won't work without it.

I'd use my Timemachine backup, but I deleted it just before I replaced my hard drive which kicked off a new full backup and overwrote everything. :rolleyes:

I did the same thing---I deleted the color lcd calibrated which was the 2nd default....could anyone post it?

Many thanks in advance.

This was my 4th try using coloursync. I tried using supercal but it seems like it wants to make it too dark. I also tried everyone elses that used hardware or used another program. I find that some had way to dark blacks that made dark details disappear. I kept looking at a bunch of offical kodak pictures while swapping back and forth through all the profiles and I prefer this one. But everyone has a different taste

My screen is a 9C8C and right now I love it.

Thanks. Looks good.
Though, I cannot decide between this or Spyder Pro profile by Kis.
By the way, what color temperature is this profile? 6500K?
 
Anybody have a colour profile that is similar or exact enough to a theatrical film kind of setting?
 
I've really appreciated the calibrations in this thread. It inspired me to try my own. Feel free to give it a whirl if anyone wants to.

newb question


can these calibrations work on the new white macbooks? and actually make a difference?

Really, it should be a calibration icc from another white macbook with the same screen... then it could make it better. Really, the best way to do it is to just buy a screen calibrator for yourself. You can get a Spyder2Express for under $100 plus you can just upgrade to the pro software later since the sensor is the same. There are better calibrators out there, however, unless you're in print, the accuracy of a high end calibrator may be a little unwarranted.
 
Hello Sir

Your welcome! You can actually modify the Gamma rate of the profile I gave you. If you download Supercal. Then when it asks if you want to start a new profile or you can select an old/current profile. Select the profile you just got from me and go to page ten. You can move the slider along to change the Gamma rate. I have mine set to 2.6. You can go all the way up to 3.0 if you want. That will make it darker. You can move it down to brighten if you want. Then just save you new profile under a different name.

Can you please post 2.2 gamma version of your profile please? The select old/current profile option is not working for me.
 
Hey Kis, thanks for your profile and thanks ptsube for directions. I like Kis better as JC Display was a bit dark for me. Man my original display looked yellowish and washed out compared to these. I went so long w/o knowing! lol

I have the 9C89.

I wonder what colour temperature does Kis's profile has?
6500K, 7500K, 8500K?
 
Hello, everyone. I'm completely new to the site, and new to the apple world. I decided to jump on in by purchasing the newest iteration of the 24" iMac.

I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction of a nice color profile? I'm loving the screen, but still have everything set at defaults. Thanks for any help you can provide.
 
Whoa kabunaru. I tried the color profile you linked me to, and everything is very....yellow. I'm guessing the new imac screen is different enough to throw something off.
