Re: [darktable-user] calibration question off topic

If the room is always very bright and you find that 130cd is too low you can increase it, maybe up to 150cd (ideally you should lower the room lighting, but that is not always possible or desirable). The most important point is that you should be reasonably away of the maximum brightness of the

Re: [darktable-user] calibration question off topic

Thank you, I managed to achieve very close calibration - sRGB 99.89 / Adobe RGB 80.1 I still have to try all the settings below. My brightness is likely too high. I calibrated at 190 cd (my room is bright) but will try to lower more - aiming 130 cd. Regards, B On 2017-04-25 08:52 PM,

Re: [darktable-user] calibration question off topic

Great writing, I didn't know about it. It follows the same path I used (only that I used DisplayCal's GUI), so it saves me from writing it ;) My config on DisplayCal (and some comments): --Display & instrument: In the particular case of the SpyderColor5 you should first use the menu "Tools/Import

Thank you All! I was not aware of the article. It is very informative indeed. @Guillermo - if you create such sane options that you use - it would be very beneficial too. I can see there is quite a bit to learn in this area... admittedly I have been doing a few things the wrong way.

Thank you.. I think there are few details that I have been missing. As per https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ICC_profiles "Note that the system on which the profile is generated must host the exact same video card and monitor for which the profile is to be used" And this contradicts to

Another (more complete) link: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ICC_profiles There is actually a warning along the lines of "it should be OS-independent, but check that the OS and drivers are not doing funny things behind your back". Regards, Guillermo On Tue, Apr 25, 2017 at 9:34 AM,

Re: [darktable-user] calibration question off topic

I'm nowhere near an expert on this (I've only used DisplayCal twice so far), but: - Have you checked that the configuration on both cases is exactly the same, including the (optional) light source corrections? (the latter come with some vendor specific drivers for some detectors). You can use the

Hi All, I know it quite a bit off topic but does anybody have best practices for calibration with display cal? I am using it on Ubuntu 16.04 and what I noticed is - if I use it - it only achieved 99.7% sRGB and ~77% Adobe RGB. If I calibrate the same monitor on windows - it will achieve
