I would greatly appreciate some help, please.
I am a beginner at calibrating my monitor and it’s extremely confusing to me!
I am a professional photographer looking to calibrate my monitor. I have a 2018 15 inch Macbook Pro and an X-rite Colormunki. Can someone please please help me with settings?
On the very top settings.. Should I choose “Default (Gamma 2.2)” every time I reopen the app? It changes every time I finish a calibration.
For the “Correction” I went to the tools menu and selected “Import colorimeter corrections from other display profiling software” . I don’t see macbook pro 2018. I do see “Spectral: LCD PFS Phosphor WLED IPS, 99% P3 (Macbook Pro Retina 2016)” Should I choose that or “Spectral: LCD White LED Family (AC, LG or Samsung)” or just “Spectral: LCD PFS Phosphur White LED Family”? Or should I leave it at Auto (none)?
For the Calibration Settings…
Should I leave the whitepoint and white level at defaults or should I set the color temperature and white point to a custom level?
What is the best calibration speed setting?
Under Profiling…
Should I set “profile quality” at High? What is the sweet spot for “amount of patches” so it doesn’t take too long but it does a good job as well?
And finally When I opened the displayCAL for the first time it asked me “Do you want to set the profile type to single curve + matrix and enable black point compensation?” Should I select yes?
Thank you so so much in advance!

No, that’s not necessary.

Yes.

I recommend using the defaults.

Yes.
