When working in color and professional video post-production, we often have to evaluate images on monitors of varying budgets and quality. But how can we truly know if those monitors are properly calibrated \u2014 and whether we can trust what we\u2019re seeing on screen?<\/p>\n
The calibration process will allow us to bring these monitors to the standards we are working with (Rec709, sRGB, etc.) so that we can use them confidently for color work.<\/p>\n
But where do you even start when it comes to monitor calibration? In this course, we will explain the technical processes that must be followed to calibrate a monitor from start to finish.<\/strong> On one hand, we will lay the foundations applicable to any calibration program, and then perform real practices of a monitor calibration process with ColourSpace ZRO, ColourSpace INF, and LightSpace. We will also exemplify the processes with CalMan. <\/p>\n We will work with different solutions to be able to give examples of professional calibration at low cost.<\/strong><\/p>\n We will explain the processes of manual profiling with calibration charts, synchronized patch measurement for full profiling, creation of a calibration LUT and generation of a confirmation report. <\/strong>We will see a complete Rec709 calibration of the Eizo CS240 monitor.<\/strong><\/p>\n This course is focused on the calibration of \u201cclient\u201d monitors used for color and audiovisual post-production \u2014 that is, video monitors connected to the computer through an I\/O video card.
Is the built-in auto-calibration enough, or should you go further?
What equipment do you need \u2014 and how much does it cost?
What are the steps to follow?
Is a calibration LUT always necessary?
And do the processes change depending on the software you use?<\/strong><\/p>\n
It does not fully cover the calibration of monitors connected directly through the GPU (such as those used for photography in Photoshop or full-screen video playback on a secondary UI display), although it can also serve as a useful reference for that type of calibration.<\/p>\n\n
