Calibrating 300/500 Series Monitors with blue eye pro
5.6. Using a Reference Profile for Easy Setup or Monitor Matching
The
Reference Profile Setting
allows you to cali-
brate your monitor to closely match another monitor.
This allows you to ensure colors are closely matched be-
tween two monitors connected to the same computer or
on two different computers. All related calibration set-
tings, including advanced settings, such as specific Black
Point or Chromatic adaptation, are memorized, includ-
ed in the calibration without the need for further setup,
and locked, thus preventing any accidental change.
This feature can also be used as an easy and safe way
to setup your calibration even if you only have a single
monitor. Instead of specifying all settings, which may be
complicated and unsafe, a single file is used as a refer-
ence profile to define the “standard”. Once the reference
profile is selected, its settings will be used for any future
calibration. All calibration settings are locked, making
accidental wrong calibration impossible.
To use this feature, you must:
1. Create a profile with LaCie Blue eye pro using your
favourite settings on any Mac or PC.
Follow the standard Calibration process including
Advanced Settings if necessary; see Chapters 5.2 to
5.4.5. for details.
2. If you wish to export the profile on several monitors
and computers, simply copy it in the profile folder
of every computer on which you want to apply the
reference profile.
3. If this profile is to be used for one or two monitors
on a single computer, go directly to step 5.
4. The files are located as indicated below according to
your Operating System:
In Mac OS X: Home > Library >ColorSync profile
folder.
In Windows 2000: C:/WINNT/System32/spool/
DRIVERS/COLOR directory
In Windows XP: C:/WINNT/System32/spool/
DRIVERS/ COLOR directory
5. Copy the Profile on any Media and paste it on your
Target computer(s) in the following folder:
In Mac Os X: Home > Library >ColorSync profile
folder.
In Windows 2000: C:/WINNT/System32/spool/
DRIVERS/COLOR directory
In Windows XP: C:/WINNT/System32/spool/
DRIVERS/ COLOR directory
6. Double click on the LaCie Blue eye pro icon from
your applications folder. The LaCie blue eye pro
Main Menu
will appear.
7. Click the
Settings
button from the Main Window
to access the Settings window.
8. Mark the Reference profile button and select from
your profiles list the required profile. The selected
profile will be used as a reference for any further
calibration. All calibration settings are now locked.
