Hey there!
Thank you so much for this amazing piece of software you have created, and the help you are providing, you are helping people so much, I appreciate it!
I am currently trying to calibrate my monitor by using DisplayCal and Colormunki Display. I understand it is not the best monitor, however I want to calibrate it nether less for until I have a new monitor. I would like to calibrate it for my photography, I do a lot of online work and I will be now doing prints, from what I read, that usually means 5000k and 6500k whitepoints respectively. But does that mean I would have to calibrate twice and switch between 2 profiles and edit each photo twice? Seems weird. Or would it be sufficient to calibrate my monitor to 6500k, and then when I soft-proof for prints in Adobe Lightroom, I would apply an ICC profile of the paper, and I would only have to adjust it slightly accordingly?
I have done several calibrations, from the information I have gathered I think I am nearly correct, please find attached the measurement report of the calibration.
I put the setting as “Laptop (Gamma 2.2), didn’t use a correction though? And left whitepoint to be measured (Read to do this with laptop displays).
The profile came out pretty good, however the “Measured vs. assumed target whitepoint ” is off by 11 points, one of the colour patches, RGB(0,0,0) is out of the nominal range, and it also says weirdly that my screen is “1536×864” although it’s not? However on other calibrations it showed the correct values of “1920×1080”. From what I have read it seems like I should manually set a whitepoint? I guess that would be 6500k , but would that be correct? The screen seems a little yellow, and this would mean more? However this is the industry standard for web?
All the best,
Ryan
