Calibration Accuracy settings

The Calibration Accuracy slider adjusts the recalibration cycle. Higher
settings take longer to calibrate but provide better accuracy. The Normal
setting takes about 30 seconds to calibrate your monitor; the Pro setting takes
more than 2 minutes.

Depending on the image displayed on your monitor, you might not notice a
difference between the results of the Normal and Pro settings. The
professional setting is for use with professional equipment, such as offset press
and dye-sublimation printers.

Using color settings

You can save combinations of color settings and use them for different
projects. For example, if you’re editing a video tape, you might use a specific
combination of white point, gamma value, and ambient light settings. If you’re
creating a printed product brochure, you might use a different combination.

Saving color settings

To save the color settings that you’re currently using, follow these steps:

1

Open the Monitors & Sound control panel, then click the Color button.

For example, make sure the correct white point and ambient light settings are
selected.

3

If desired, click Recalibrate to see how the settings change the screen image.

Click Save As.

A dialog box appears.

5

Enter a name for your settings, then click Save.
