Help calibrating color profile for two monitors??

I have two cinema display monitors (one new, the other 1 year old), and I can't get them to share a color profile. Through SysPrefs I can calibrate them individually, but the results look completely different. The older monitor appears "pinker" overall, esp. in the light tones. When I finish calibrating, the last dialogue box asks to if I want to share the color profile, but I can't see the new profile in the other monitor's Display Profile list.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Mac Pro Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Barron,
You have to load the profile you want to share into the approriate folder >Library>ColorSync>Profiles>Displays
Then you have to double click the profile, it will open ColorSync.
Then Go to Devices, Then colapse Displays, Click on your Cinema Display and you will see a little arrow, looks like a play button. Click the button and it will bring up a menu allowing you to load a profile, then you can load your shared profile.
Why this is how you have to do it, I will never know, seems awfully PC like.

Help matching color profiles for 2 displays??

Did you uncheck "Show profiles for this display only"? If the displays are not the same model, and age, you probably want different profiles, anyway. To calibrate properly you need a colorimeter.

Synchronizing Color Profiles of two monitors

How do i synchronize the color profile on my macbook pro with another monitor?

They are just different. Some monitors have a "control panel" (accessed by buttons on the monitor) that adjusts the color "tone" (don't know the technical term). I'm pretty sure Samsung monitors have this feature. Maybe the two monitors are set up differently.
You can also adjust the color using ColorSync feature of Mac OS X. Open System Preferences to the Displays pane. A control window opens on each display. Click on the Color tab. From there, you can calibrate the display so that they match as close as possible.
So first, adjust the color from the display, if that's possible. Then use System Preferences to get the two matched as closely as possible.

Please help me find a color profile for Samsung 2343bwx

Hi Everyone,
Im just trying to get started in the graphical design field, I just bought a Samsung 2343BWX Lcd monitor (i know I know TN isnt the best for graphical design but im not rich), the color profile that came with the monitor is defective and displays everythign in a deep yellow tint, Ive tried using samsungs Natural Color Pro monitor profiling software but it results in a really ughly profile that is too dark and has a blueish tint to it.
Samsung's support isnt much help (no sprise there) and I cant afford a spyder or eye-one hardware calibration tool at this point.
Does anyone have or know where I can get a good color profile for this monitor? You have no idea how much I would appriciate it.
Thank you in advance for your help

You have a few choices....
1. Use the generic monitor profile supplied with your monitor, the one that came with it when you bought it. This will be generic, and will not account for drift, and probably won't be all that accurate. But, at least it should be in the general ballpark since it represents a cross section of a grouping of similar monitors.
2. Try one of the presets that came with your monitor. I don't know what presets or controls are offered with this monitor, but I would shoot for a color temp between 5000K and 5500K, a 2.2 gamma, and a reasonably dim brightness setting.
3. Find someone who can do a hardware/software calibration, either a friend, or someone who will do it for a fee. This will get it right once (if they know what they are doing), but will not account for drift over the long term.
4. Search online and see if you can find some visual calibration target and do it by eyeball. This is usually not easy to do, and probably won't be satisfactory, but you can give it a try.
5. Buy a calibration package and do it yourself. You should probably calibrate an LCD monitor at least monthly (I do mine weekly). This is the best way to go, at least if you are serious about accurate color. And this doesn't guarantee that your monitor and print will match. For that, you need to calibrate your printer for each type of paper you use, or rely on generic printer profiles. Then, you have to make sure you set everything up properly and utilize all your profiles properly. Sorry, but this is all part of the price you have to pay if you want good color.The fee involves money for the proper tools, education on how to use them, and experience in applying them properly.

X1C calibrated color profile

Hi!
I am looking for a calibrated color profile for the X1 Carbon. (Display: LEN40A2)
The profile provided by lenovo (TPMB72_1.icm) has a too high gamma setting and white is clearly shifted to blue.
See the notebookcheck.net review for details.
Cheers,

Solved!
Go to Solution.

See the 4th post here: http://forum.notebookreview.com/thinkpad-edge-x1-x100e-x120e-sl-l/691923-x1-carbon-color-settings.ht... Works well for me :-) .

I can't calibrate any color profile for my iMac's display!

I think I accidentally deleted the color profile for my iMac's display
and now it won't let me calibrate any profile! All the colors are bright and washed out.
When I go to the display>color preference panel I get an error sound whenever I click ANY color profile, and it doesn't load. When I click "calibrate" it gives me the message: "Can not calibrate the display. The factory profile for the display could not be found."
But I wasn't even using the factory profile, and it won't let me choose any other ones, either (though a whole list does show up!)
I tried repairing/verifying the profiles in the ColorSync Utility, but it didn't help.
Is there somewhere I can download the profile and install it? I'm running a white 20" Core Duo 2GHz iMac (summer of 2006), if that helps.
Thanks!

seenew,
I'm wondering if you would have any luck with resetting the PRAM? PRAM settings hold some of the display preferences I believe.
See: "Mac OS X: What's stored in PRAM"
If not, I am wondering if reapplying the Combo update for 10.4.7 might correct the display calibration issue or at least return it to the default?
I don't think that recreating the .plist file for displays will help.
As far as I know you cannot "download" the profile.
sorry if those suggestions don't help,

Display Color Profile For iiyama HM903DT

I've just been given an iiyama HM903DT monitor but it doesn't want to play with my mac mini
The trouble is this:- If a turn on my mac with the screen powered on my machine creates a color profile for it (from monitor dcc information I suspect). That would be ok if the profile was correct but it's not. On some jpgs and tif files are massively over saturated (for example gingerbread man.tif) yet other jpegs and tifs are fine.
If I start up my mac without the screen turned on my mac defaults to "Display" for color and all is well.
I've check in Universal Access and 'Enhance Contrast' is set correctly, I've also tried using color-sync to no avail......
What can I do to stop this bug it's driving me nuts!!!
thingi

Me too. Snow leopard seems to ruin my 9CA3 screen because the color looks to be washed out.

Factory color profile for LSN133BT01A02

Hi
I've deleted everything from ~/Library/ColorSync/Profiles (don't ask why, I'm stupid). Now when I try to calibrate monitor it says "The factory color profile for the display cannot be found"
Can I get default factory profile somewhere? MBA 13" Mid 2013
Terminal command
ioreg -lw0 | grep IODisplayEDID | sed "/[^<]*</s///" | xxd -p -r | strings -6
says I have LSN133BT01A02 Color LCD screen.

Seems the profile was /Library/ColorSync/Profiles/Displays/Color LCD-933C106C-08BC-09AA-F750-C2A74A119DEF.icc

Hi Simcah, I have a similar problem. Have you found out any solution?
thanks, dan
You need to ask the printing service provider. Dealing with color totally depends on the printing process involved and of course the machines used.

Good Color Profiles for LED 24"?

Does anyone have any good color profiles for the 24" LED? I tried using one I really like on my MBP, but it looks completely different on the 24" LED. I don't really like the standard Cinema color profile - kinda light and washed out.
Anyone?

Go to Colour Display options and choose Calibrate to change the settings?

Is there a color profile for the Epson Stylus Photo R2880 for Kodak Professional paper (lustre)?

A member of the Brand Management Group responsed. There is no color profile for my printer at this time. However, I was given a profile to try and it worked very well.
Thank you Brand Management Group.

Color profile for print

Do I need color profile for print taged in the file?
I need to print some photos at LAB (photo lab) and they print in color space sRGB.
I have created through Adobe Raw a JPEG file, which has untagged color profile.
Is it necessary to have a color profile for a print at photo lab tagged in the file or better not?
Thank you for explanation.

Since you say the printer "prints in color profile sRGB", it sounds as though you should save your images tagged with the sRGB IEC61966-2.1 color profile.
If I'm understanding you correctly "Lab" does not mean "print lab", it's an acronym that describes an alternate color space for representing an image, fundamentally different from RGB. Print houses normally don't expect an image to be sent to them in Lab mode.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lab_color_space
In all seriousness, you should ask these questions of their customer service:
1. What format should I provide the image in (JPEG, TIFF, etc.)?
2. Should I tag the image with the sRGB IEC61966-2.1 color profile?

Color profile for export in Aperture 3.0.3

Hi
What is the best color profile for exporting in aperture 3.0.3 (specially, if the pictures are used for stock). I normally use the export version TIFF or PNG original. Is ADOBE 1998 or sRGB or something else? In Photoshop I have sRGB.
Thank you for your advice.

Colour Profiles don't have a best one. It is a way of matching colour produced by one type of device so that it is reproduced by another type reasonably well. Allan

Best PCI E Profile for two nVidia GeForce 7300GTs?

Have been running my two Cinema HD 23 displays at 1920 x 1200 as an extended desktop from ONE nVidia GeForce 7300GT.
Just bought spare used Apple nVidia GeForce 7300GT.
Am planning on buying another Cinema HD 23 display, for a total of 3 displays, thus the second card.
Am planning on running all three displays as extended desktop at 1920 x 1200.
I do NOT do rendering, video editing, gaming, or any other graphic intensive applications
I do mostly, lots of multi-tasking writing, spreadsheets, web surfing, email, and full screen u-tube videos.
Am a little confused as to which expansion slots should to use, and how to use Expansion Slot Utility to set up an optimal PCI Express profile for:
Two Cinema HD 23displays, initially.
Three Cinema HD 23 diplays, ultimately.
This is what I have set up now:
Or should I move the 2nd card to slot 4 and select the first alternate, Thus giving me a x16 lane for first card and a x8 lane for the second card?
However, I assume that when I get my 3rd display, I would use the 3rd Alternate profile, thus giving me three x 8 lanes?
Thanks very much for any advice

Regarding the ATI 5770
Apple does not recommend the Apple-firmware 5770 for the oldest Mac Pro models simply because when the card was introduced, the older Models of Mac Pro were already discontinued. It installs and works perfectly -- just a little slower on the Mac Pro 1,1 and 2,1 due to PCIe 1 slots. Drivers are in 10.6.5 and later.
To run displays wider than 1920 wide, you must use Dual-Link DVI, so called because the data conductors are doubled to reduce the bit clock rate for wide displays.
The scarce resource in the Apple-firmware 5770, as in the PC-only 5770, is power to run the driver circuitry in the converters from Mini DisplayPort to other "legacy" interface standards such as DVI. You MUST use ACTIVE, POWERED converters for this job, or suffer only two of the screens lighting up. This is made clear in ATI/AMD literature as well as Apple literature.
You can use the fairly expensive Apple Dual-Link converter, which picks up its power from a USB lead. There are also third-party converters available. Some of these are sold on Amazon. Read and re-read all this information carefully, as it is very easy to confuse ACTIVE and not, Dual-Link and not, Mini DisplayPort and regular DisplayPort, and these sites do not make it easy to distinguish:

Calibrating and saving a profile for a monitor then loading it for another

How do you save a calibration setting and then see it in the list of loadable calibrations for another monitor? I have identical dual monitors, but cannot seem to figure out how to share a calibration setting between the two.

yes. Even with that unchecked, each window on each monitor only shows only the user profiles I created exclusively on that particular monitor even though they both show all the same standard preset profiles.
