Monitor Calibration

Commercial Photography Program (AEC)
PiL 2 Fall 2011
Assignment 1: Monitor Calibration and production of a Monitor Profile. 5%
Due: Class, Wednesday Sept 7
Purpose: To familiarize students with colour management issues and monitor
calibration.
Method: To be demonstrated in class.
• Use the ColorEyes software and “puck” to calibrate and create a proper profile
for your monitor.
• Choose 'CREATE MONITOR PROFILE' to begin the monitor calibration process;
follow the step-by-step onscreen instructions.
• Name the profile using the format "DATE + Computer# + your name"
(Ex: oct14_4G13-21_rhartling).
• Copy your profile, you should find it in the User/Library/Colorsync/Profiles
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.)
• Activate your monitor profile by going to the Apple icon drop-down menu and
selecting System Preferences -> Display -> Color . Choose your new
monitor profile in the list.
Submit:
One monitor profile. And that my friends, is it.
