I'm a professional photographer and I use Pictage as my online host for proofing and printing and they recommend I set my monitor at a whitepoint of 6500k, 100 luminance, and 2.2 gamma. I've selected Adobe RGB 98 and sRGB as a starting point for the profile. I calibrate the monitor using the system pref > display > color controls and set everything to the specs. Even at the lowest brightness setting, the IMAC is too bright to achieve the 100 luminance, so I downloaded Shades to attempt to remedy the luminance. And yet although I've set my whitepoint at 6500k, the Eye one display 2 measures my screen at 6000k, and the luminance to 120. Is there an easy way to set my monitor to the specs I need?? It's imperative that the images I edit on my computer screen match the prints that my customers order through Pictage. Please advise!!!

Thank you in advance!
