Calibrating Your Monitor

MAC VERSION
Launch the SpectraView program.
While the SpectraView software is loading, it will initialize the monitor and the
color calibrator for adjustment. This process takes approximately 30 seconds to
complete but may vary based on system performance.
Note: If one of these two devices aren't detected an error screen will appear asking
you to check the connection.

If this is the first time that SpectraView has run, the monitor will be uncalibrated.
To perform a calibration, click "Calibration" in the software menu (Figure 3a).
SpectraView allows you to specify the parameters you prefer to use for calibra-
tion. These parameters (color temperature, gamma, and white luminance) are
contained in "Presets" , which are small files containing these values. SpectraView
ships with two Presets already installed, sRGB and D50. You may select a Preset
for calibration by clicking on the "Preset" pulldown in the lower-left corner of the
CALIBRATE panel. You may also create your own Presets through the process
described in Section 4: Creating a Custom Preset.
