Hellfire29 Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 (edited) Any good software for calibrating the colour balance of the monitor? I can find tonnes of images and software to calibrating the contrast and the brightness, but none for the actual colour balance. Alternatively, I'm just retarded and can't figure out how to use them, in which case someone would need to link me to instructions.

Alexandre Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 Hey mate, What kind of monitor do you have? Generally that's the type of thing you can manually change by going into the monitor's settings (using the buttons on your screen). You can then adjust each main color intensity to your liking. Or have I misunderstood what you are wanting to achieve? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellfire29 Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 An LG LCD and I know how to change the settings, but I want some software/images to help me correctly calibrate the colours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammin Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/ Helpful test images with instructions on how to use them. It should noted that the only way to do proper calibration is with a hardware calibration device. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ir_cow Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 i use xrite i1 (aka EYE-ONE) works great when you are trying to print to a $5000 Epson printer. But you still need to have a calibrated printer and unless you have some serous money 99% consumer printers won't be calibrated or able to be. color profiles are good for softproofing images and removing those yellow and blue tinted screens. aka TNT panels . also unless you have a IPS monitor don't bother color calibrating, it's mostly pointless because the colors will still be very off. TNT panels=70% total RGB, IPS= 99% Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
