I'm not pro, I think I would barely qualify as a hobbyist. I'm fairly sure this was a problem with the service and not the files or my monitor, as the file had information that obviously wasn't showing up on my prints. Areas that showed up on my monitor as varying degrees of grey would come back to me as solid black in the printout. I've previously ordered prints online, and have often been disappointed when the pictures were way too dark. The printer is new, and I'm just getting it set up.
#DISPLAYCAL VS SPYDER MANUAL#
Why shall i do the interactive adjustment, if the report at the end shows “good” results with any manual adjustment? And why is displaycal interactive adjustment is forcing me to adjust the colors to this horror when i set whitepoint to “as measured”? I expected as measured means it is good as it is measured….Acer 32" IPS UHD monitor (refurbished, and glitchy, but the picture quality is pretty good) Thats why i skiped the manual interactive adjustment and got the reports i posted yesterday. I cannot imagine that this is better then before manual adjustment… the grey of the menu area looks like the grey BEFORE i made the balancing. Image 3 is a photo of the screen after balancing, where you see the on display menu of the monitor which is not influenced by color settings. The monitor should be not that bad in “native” mode… If i bring the bars into balance, it looks really horrible. In the second screenshot you see the interactive adjustment at the beginning (left) and after i balanced the bars with monitor settings. When i set it the colors in monitor settings to 6500k it looks good and almost the same then in “native” mode. In SRGB i cannot change colors at all, but the bars look the same at the beginning. The monitor has 2 modes that are very good calibrated by default (tests told that). If i use the correction the mode is set to none, so it is either or.

There is no ccss, so i use the mode LCD White LED. I use now these settings in the screenshot. This reply was modified 1 year, 5 months ago by Vincent. Try to find a custom CCSS for i1d3 colorimeter in or rent an spectophotometer to create one. This makes no sense to me.Īlready explained, no correction was applied to colorimeter.Īlso your display backlight may not match some of the generic ones.
#DISPLAYCAL VS SPYDER VERIFICATION#
You can import the same corrections as in provided link by importing corrections in “auto” for i1d3.ĭo you have an idea what is the reason for the out of balance of the bars in interactive adjustment? If i bring it to balance, it looks much greener, but the verification at the end is also good. I will set mode to “lcd white” for spyder and use correction “lcd white family” for both. I thought i set “mode” to LCD White LED all the time, but i think it is set to default when switching the colorimeter, so i will try it again today. How can that happen and which hardware is allright?Ĭan i work with one of these calibrations and profiles, or is there some bigger problem? When i crosscheck, xrite calibration with spyder verification and vice versa, it is really bad. You can see that in the 2 reports Xrite FInal …. I think this is only in almost black areas and not that problem.?! It is exactly the same when i calibrate and verificate with spyder. When i calibrate with xrite and verificate with xrite the lower end, <10% is much too blue. And i made a verification of each calibration with both hardware. also for photos of other photographers – not green like before._ Nevertheless: the calibration and profiling is running with spyder4 and i1Display and the colors are looking good. I expect, when i set whitepoint to “as measured” the interactive adjustment should be okay!?

When i start the interactive adjustment it still is not in balance, but if i am balancing the 3 colored bars with screen adjustments, it looks really horrible… Whitepoint and white + black level: as measured Then i got the same thing and i understood that i have to set the color adjustments of the display to “native” and set everything (white in displaycal to “as measured”. II thought something is wrong with the spyder4 so i ordered a xRite i1Display for comparison. In displaycal the manual adjustments told me to make it horrible green, and the result was that bad. I made some changes in displaycal i didn’t understand, so the grey was a little bit too green. I used a spyder4 for some years, first with its shit software, then with displaycal.
