Start by opening OS-X System Preferences> Displays> Color> Display Profile then click on sRGB, or preferably, the monitor's OEM profile because starting Calibrator with a defective profile loaded will only build another bad profile.Ĭomplete process and save the new profile with date (so you can tell how old the profile is). It may take several tries to get an acceptable profile built so always start over by highlighting a new fresh OEM or sRGB profile. To get around this, always FIRST load a fresh OEM or sRGB monitor profile before starting the process. In the past, these types of software calibraters seemed prone to build off whatever profile was enabled i.e., if that profile was defective it would build another defective profile. or Windows' Display Color Calibration routines or SuperCal can profile pretty good monitor profiles (with practice and some talent), but it is no replacement for hardware calibration a puck that reads the actual screen.
