Re: Calibrate to sRGB (certain color temperature)

2012-12-21 by gerard_culemborg

I did purchase the elite upgrade CD now (still the pro device, but I assume this is the same as the elite device) and have been playing with it a long time today. It seems to work fine, but there is one thing that seems to go wrong or that I do not understand.

During calibration one sets a desired color temperature (white point), say 6500K. Just as an experiment I put my monitor on 9300K through the OSD, looking very bluish. Performing an Advanced analysis - Brightness and contrast test indeed verifies that the color temperature is very high. With these settings I calibrated the monitor, assuming that the result would be a white much closer again to 6500K. However, even after calibration the color temperature is still very high similar as before. Am I misunderstanding something?

Two other smaller questions are:
- In the analysis is it possible to get the gamma with two decimals instead of one, and the color temperature not rounded to 100K?
- Is it possible to uninstall the spyder utility without uninstalling the rest of the software?

Kind regards,
Gerard
