7. If your monitor is not recognized as having DDC
capability, a brightness measurement will follow
the contrast adjustment screen. After a few initial
measurements, the “Brightness Adjustment”
gauge will appear.
At this point, simply
adjust your monitor
brightness up or
down as necessary
until the orange
bar is as centered as
possible in the green
tolerance range.
If you have an Apple display, the brightness
controls are typically on the right edge of the
monitor, and Apple laptops have keyboard
brightness controls. If your monitor has
brightness adjustment knobs or brightness is
adjusted with an On Screen Display, make
adjustments here until you are in tolerance.
8. When the measurement process is complete, you
will be prompted to name your profi le. You can
leave it at the default, or add more descriptive
information such as the date. Click Save to
begin building the profi le.
9. A green check mark will indicate when your
profi le is complete. If you’d like, you can choose
a frequency to be reminded to re-profi le. The
frequency is up to you, but those who print
color-critical images, such as photos or corporate
colors, should profi le at least weekly. Click Next.
11. ColorMunki software offers the ability to see
a before and after comparison. Select an image
from the drop-down and click Before and After
to see the change the new monitor profi le has
made.
12. Click Finish. The next time you profi le your
monitor, the new profi le will write over the old
one.
