How to calibrate your monitor using Mac OS X tools

If you own a Mac, you’ll need the Display Calibrator Assistant. To access it, you need to open the Apple menu by clicking on the Apple icon on the top left corner of your screen.

Then choose System Preferences – this will open a pop-up window. Inside the System Preferences, look for the Display option and click on it.

Next, click on the Color tab. Now you’ll see the Display profile on the left and three options on the right – click on the one named Calibrate to start the process. With this, a new window will pop up.

Another option is to type ‘calibrate display color’ in Spotlight. Then you can open it via the results from the search. Just like on Windows, you’ll have to follow the instructions that will guide you through the calibration process.

The first step is only for external monitors – it’s the Set-Up. The Display Adjustment asks you to set the contrast control to the maximum. Next, adjust the brightness using a reference image.

Then, it will take you to the White Point Setting – this is the first step for a native Apple display. It advises you to keep the native white point or use a standard white point such as D50 or D65.

If you want to keep the native white point, just make sure this option is checked and click Continue. If you’re going to adjust it, uncheck the native white point option and move the slider – then click Continue to move on to the next step.

After that, it takes you to the Administrator options. It will ask you if you want to allow other users to use this calibration – this doesn’t have a right or wrong answer. It’s up to you.

The next step is to name your profile – this is just so you can recognize it.

Finally, it will show you a summary of the settings. If you’re satisfied, click Done to finish the calibration or Go Back if you want to change anything.

How to calibrate your monitor using a colorimeter calibration tool

If you don’t want to use your computer’s built-in tools, you have two choices. You can use one of the many online tools, or you can buy one of the calibration devices on the market that range from $80 to $500.

One of the most popular web-based calibrators is the Lagom LCD Monitor Test Pages. Here, you’ll find a set of test images you can use for monitor calibration.

Each test image allows you to fine-tune a different setting. The author recommends that you use the images in the order they are presented. With them, you can adjust contrast, gamma settings, sharpness, etc.

Ideally, it will help you to get the best image quality. If you’re considering buying a new monitor, you can download the test pages to a USB stick and try them on the device you want to get.

You can also download standard color profiles or custom profiles created by professional colorists.

Now, if you decide to buy a colorimeter calibration tool, you’ll need to download the calibration software that comes with it.

Fill in all the information about your screen – each software will be a little different depending on the brand you got, but you only have to follow the instructions.

Then you need to plug in the device, which has a spectrophotometer and an ambient light sensor. The colorimeter will read the environmental lighting and give you a report with a recommendation for adequate brightness on your display.

If you have too much direct light or anything like that, it will let you know so that you can adjust it before moving on.

After you’ve set the brightness on the monitor, the software flashes different color gradients and a neutral gray screen. The device will gather information from these colors on the screen to later calibrate the display.

Once it’s done, you’ll get a full report about the before and after settings. Depending on the product you’re using, you’ll probably be able to save this as a custom profile.

In the FAQs below, you’ll find some recommendations for the best calibrator, but consider that the two major brands are Datacolor and X-Rite.

Same problem here. I found they hid the Calibrate Display app in some system/libraries folder, but holding down the option key to open the app just closes the folder.
