Purpose: To familiarize students with colour management issues and monitor

for your monitor.

follow the step-by-step onscreen instructions.
• Name the profile using the format "DATE + Computer# + your name"
(Ex: oct14_4G13-21_rhartling).

folder. Submit a copy to my Dropbox.
• The copy placed in my Dropbox must be in a folder titled PiL2_Ass1_1st initial
family name. (Ex: PiL2_Ass1_RHartling) If the folder isn’t titled properly the
assignment won’t be marked. (I receive hundreds of assignments in a semester.
You have to make it easy for me to find things.)

selecting System Preferences -> Display -> Color . Choose your new
monitor profile in the list.
Submit:
One monitor profile. And that my friends, is it.
