I’m trying to calibrate my 2015 iMac 27″ for photo editing. I was so confused about which settings to use. I calibrated 4 different times and got different results each time. Can you take a look at these reports and tell me what I am doing wrong? Am I using the wrong settings?
Also, I was surprised at how much warmer my monitor was after calibrating it. Do iMacs generally run really cool/blue out of the box? It’s a pretty significant difference. To my eyes, it seems way too warm now but maybe that’s just because I’m not used to it?

Defaults should work well.

Was the instrument sitting firmly against the screen? Is light falling directly onto the monitor?

I can’t see all the settings you used from the reports. I see that you used a colorimeter correction in one of them. Did you create it yourself or is this from the corrections database?

The Spyders aren’t all that accurate, especially with nonstandard backlighting like the newer iMacs have. If you have a spectrometer available, you can create a correction matrix (not spectral correction) to alleviate this somewhat.
