For Macintosh users

Calibrating your monitor

Calibrating your monitor to obtain the proper monitor profile is important for
achieving higher precision in color matching. ICC profiles for your monitor may
be created specifically by profiling your monitor through the following utilities:
• The Calibration function of the Monitor Control Panel for ColorSync 2.5 or
• The Adobe Gamma utility, from Adobe Photoshop 5.0 or later package.
• Any third-party calibration programs or hardware calibrator
You can also obtain your monitor profile by checking with the manufacturer of
your monitor.

Setting up the System (Monitor) Profile

After creating or identifying the monitor profile, you need to select the moitor
profile to make sure the image is displayed correctly.
Make sure you always update your ColorSync program to the most recent
version. If you have ColorSync earlier than version 2.5, please update it to the
most recent version available. Updates can be available at www.colorsync.com.
To select the system monitor profile, bring up the Monitor Control Panel. An
example is shown below.
