Hi! Thanks for this very useful video. I have a weird issue and not sure how to deal with it. I bought recently MacBook Pro 16 M3 Max and found that its display is too warm and a little yellowish for my preferences. And what I want is just make it look a little bit colder. Yes, I see also some very slight pink gradient somewhere near at bottom. I pretty sure most people doesn't see it at all, but on some level of brightness and some different angle it becomes kinda visible. I saw the same on other OLED phones, just a bit weird to see it on Apple devices as for me. So, the issue is that because visual tuning calibration available only on some copies of references with locked down brightness it's completely not usable for me. Yes, again, I clearly understand all that PRO stuff and why things like that, I just not understand why I can't create NON-reference profile for my day-to-day activity with white point equal to whatever preferable by my taste. It was possible on Venture easily and here I can't do anything besides using Color Filters which not the same as changing white point a bit. I just trying to figure out why it is like that. I seriously consider return this otherwise great machine back to shop. Also, I clearly see that on little than middle brightness the White is not constant, I see like it slightly variate across all display. All that completely not visible on first quick look and check. Anyone has the same issues here?
@@HectorMArroyoThanks, but nope. TrueTone and NightShift are both off sure. I found many talks on this issue in these days and just really impressed by the fact that no one TH-cam content creator actually talks about it. People complain a lot about greenish and yellowing displays of Apple silicon MacBooks and dump idea to get rid of from display settings a way to change white point as you wish. Even Apple support guys were confused by it. Also, I actually found that it still possible to calibrate display in old way via Calibrate Assistant app which is still in system, but an issue that it doesn't preserve this setting on reboot. So you will need use other system app ColorSync to apply yours "colder" profile on each reboot. Hopefully Apple will not remove it in near OS upgrade iterations. The talks about it I found comes from 2021 year, so Apple position on it is weird - they know better with their fabric calibration what we need. But actually it far from it. Greenish, yellowish approved by independent calibration tools many times already. So, my single issue as for now is pink slight spot at the bottom, but it did become even less visible with colder profile. Not sure if I mentioned before, but I'm in Russia and position of Authorized Apple service company which are still works here actually that this is normal and Apple refuse to get back such displays. I actually confused a lot by all that, especially Apple position about dead pixels numbers and other things. I think it just very hard to buy good MacBook now, it is lottery and there are bunch of other ways to play and be entertained. Next time will consider Lenovo with Ubuntu/Arch OS support which is for me will be even may be better. For me Mac is just good Unix system.
Thank you so much for your Help! Can I ask you if you can help to calibrate the new iMac 4k Display? I work extending the screen of my 14'' Macbook Pro Sonoma into my iMac 4K display and I can see that colors doesn't match - there's any way to sort that out? Thanks!
The PR-740 costs between 45K and 60K. I have the CR-300 and I did this process a few times. First, using a Spectro exclusively is a bizarre choice. They are great on measuring white point and primaries with accuracy, but poor in low light measurements, even those expensive ones. Ideally a combo of Spectro and colorimeter will be fast and accurate. Glad to see apple opened the process to laptop and Tyler Pruitt from Calman recently joined apple. Hopefully we will see support extending to colorimeters and more mainstream spectros. Also both CR-250 and CR-300 (CR-300 RH) have contact versions and viewfinder versions. Contact versions are a breeze to use.
Thanks for the info. Interestingly enough, I found out more info about the contact version after I made this video. Technically the contact version is similar to the lens bellow, the sense still sit a bit back but none the less this version is good to have. As far as other colorimeter goes, we'll see. They might but I would not hold my breath, but if that happens that would be the day!
@@ArtIsRightart, any advice for me. After editing raw photos in Lightroom in M1 Max Mac, and exporting with a p3 color profile, the photos look a bit drab, lacking in contrast, and lacking in color compared to the raw edit. This is extremely prominent on the iPhone display. I tried using the reference mode you set in one of your videos months ago, but it didn’t seem to do anything to the low color photos. Is there any good fixes?
On MacOS 15 Apple allows you to use the CR-100, you create a matrix in the CRI Utilities app. Much better option as the CR-100 is faster and as you said better in low light. All I wish now is that they let you define your primary colours.
Thank you so much for your time and in-depth knowledge on monitors! You helped get my SW271C calibrated when I got my first BenQ. What is the best practice for recalibration on the Studio Display with Fine-Tune? My BenQ flags when the monitor needs to be calibrated. I would be interested to know if Apple offers Full Calibration thru AppleCare too.
AppleCare is a warranty extension, not a calibration service, nor will their staff know anything about calibration. As far as Studio Display goes just fine-tune calibration and calibrate it using this guide th-cam.com/video/PLB93k9UYWc/w-d-xo.html
Great video as always, one question i have. In my BenQ270C i have saved two different calibrations (one for D50 and one for D65), so i can change which calibration to use on the screen itself. but do i need to change anything in the Display settings in Sonoma for it to be correct then ? I can see ONE calibration in Sonoma called "BenQ_270C". Should i select that one or should i see two Benq options ?
Not quite; this is for Mac displays or built-in displays only. All 3rd party and external displays are excluded. For BenQ SW you want to watch this th-cam.com/video/Wf1naMT5Oew/w-d-xo.html
Great video. I'm using Sonoma with a Display Pro HL on my M2 Max setting this at P3-D65. The measurement on the luminance was 167.684 and I was only able to input 167.6 or 167.7 as the range is limiting me to one character to the right of the decimal point. When I put in the target, setting it to 100, I get an orange triangle. It does not allow me to enter in 80, 90 or even 150. Please advise. Many thanks.
The issue is that P3-D65 default is around 160 nits. You can't change that. This is the reason why you need to create a custom preset with the luminance that you want.
The colors are warmer on my iPhone 15 vs my Studio display is cooler. I do have True Tone off on both. Any idea or fixes to make the Mac Studio Display warmer? Thank you!
If it is not an HL device it is not recommended for XDR displays and the Liquid Retina XDR laptop displays in the 14 & 16" MBP calibration. None HL devices does not have the the Mini LED backlight option.
Have you found any calibration solution you like for the HDR range? I was excited for PROFILER with the new Calibrite hardware, but so far, the output breaks HDR (clips to the SDR range).
No offense, but I really had to replay this video on my phone to make sure that my apple studio display wasn't broken from his shirt color reflecting on his face. I freaked out for a second thinking that my screen broke... Nice shirt man loool
What settings should I use when I'm color grading in Davinci Resolve? I'm facing a terrible color shift when exporting my videos. Need help thanks for the video.
I have a 2019 MacBook Pro 16" with the Retina display running Sonoma.....where could I find instructions to calibrate the screen with the Calibrate Display Plus HL....??
I want to just change my color profile from P3 to sRGB (it's easier on my eyes) But when I use custom preset, the brightness setting is locked out(!). Is there any way around this at the moment?! Thanks for the video
It is not, believing otherwise is. Any type of pro editing must be done to a fixed luminance not one that changes around. This is intended by design. One can work around this by setting various luminance reference mode up. There are reasons for these things.
I have a Macbook Pro M1 Max 2021 with XDR, and an Apple Studio Display standard glass. Which option you recommend to use? I have previously tweaked the luminance on P3 D65 to L100 like you explained on a previous video. I use my devices for editing photography and occasionally printing on a professional printing lab. I just want to get whats closest to a homogeneous workflow when editing between macbook and studio display.
Hi, just checking in if the Sonoma OS had forced all HDMI Output to be YPBPR? This is because i have issues with HDMI output displays on monitors or projectors which only accepts RGB. Purple tint. It is not because of HDMI Cables or a burnt out bulb.
Hi, I need some help. I am a new photographer, specializing in pet photography. At the moment, I can't afford to purchase a calibration tool. While I am saving up for one, I was wondering if you have any suggestions regarding which profile to set for my MacBook Pro M1 14". I watched your previous videos and noticed the "photography" profile with max L100 or 80. Should I set my monitor to that, or do you have any other recommendations? I use Lightroom for cataloging and Photoshop for edits. My primary platform for sharing my work is Instagram, but I occasionally print photos when someone requests them. Any guidance you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much in advance
th-cam.com/video/PLB93k9UYWc/w-d-xo.html For fine tune calibration any Calibrite or X-Rite Pro devices will work, however if you want to run the calibration and get proper gamut you'll need the HL devices.
Let's say I use this method to calibrate my Apple Pro Display XDR. If I then would color grade inside Davinci Resolve- would I use the BT 1886 reference mode as a starting point, and if so, does this method correctly calibrate to a Gamma of 2.4? And then, in Davinci, do I leave the "use mac display profiles for viewers" option on or off in order for the ICC profile to come across?
Which method, I outlined 3 in the dialog.I think you are referring to fine-tune calibration. You can choose to start with BT1886 gamma curve, which is close to gamma 2.4 but not exactly the same. Either way you need to choose the "use Mac display profile...." for the ICC profile to work.
Ok, I haven't read other comments, (sorry), but I want to know one thing... I have the Apple Studio Display and a 2023 16" MacBook Pro M2. I want to calibrate in my office to keep both screens, which I know are different tech, nearly the same for photo editing AND printing. Can I just use my Spyder X or get rid of the Studio Display and buy a BenQ?
Spyder X can't calibrate your laptop (it can, but you won't get full gamut), it can calibrate your studio display fully. Or you can get rid of the Studio Display and get a BenQ SW which would be hardware calibration and Palette Master Ultimate, BenQ software is compatible with Spyder X. If you are looking to buy a new calibration device, however, I recommend Calibrite Display Pro HL or Display Plus HL depending on your needs.
@@ArtIsRight Thanks. After watching another of your videos and having been a former BenQ owner I decided to return the Apple display today and ordered a BenQ 272U. For printing purposes I think this is my best choice. I appreciate all you do.
I have a 27 inch Apple Studio display I use with my mac mini which has the m2pro chip, in case that was important. I also use Calibrite's Color checker Display Pro, have you found that it's compatible with Sonoma? Thank you!
@@ArtIsRight Oh no, that’s an important issue . I’m new to this Mac and I’m assuming the profile is under the display setting to check the profile that is.
It is not an issue with Sonoma as much as it is an issue with macOS and how the machine is setup at large. 99% of these cases has to do with the use of system migration or Time Machine backup restored during setup.
Huh? There is no such option in Sonoma system settings > Displays. I'm running 14.1.1. Is there some other setting elsewhere that would be blocking this?
If you don't see this, you don't have the Retina XDR display, meaning that you don't have a laptop that has these options. It is not just Sonoma, it is the laptop as well
I don't because their software clearly has bad purple blue color casting in the darker tones globally throughout the OS. And if you have Apple Pro Display, Fine tune calibration and then software calibrate using Calibrite Profilier is the better solution
If your display supports this, you should use this method first. And if your display support, then the colorMunki device is not really capable of calibrating said display. Start a new comment for further questions or dm me
Hello, i´m using a MBP M1Max 16" with Sonoma 14.6.1 and Calibrite Display Pro HL together with the latest version of Calibrite software. When i try to finetune the whitepoint (in a separate copy of Photography P3 Setting) for both, L80 and L120 a yellow triangle shows up next to the target luminance and i cannot proceed. i did this already so often and never had this failure before (facotry preset is also set in color sync utility). please help.. and thank you in advance!!!!
So I need to do a video about this but here are the cause and work around: Cause: overtime these MiniLED displays put them down. Because it is really a bright display and overtime they do. What you were seeing right now is the factory calibrate value not aligning with the actual lumens output of the display overtime. Solutions: so what you have to do for this is just simply manipulate the luminance to a higher value in the presets setting screen. For example, if you want a luminous of 80, but when you're actually doing the measurement and is only showing you 70. You've typed this in to the white point fine tune and it's going to give you a caution triangle because it is out of range. so what you simply do in this case is create a new preset and rather than setting the luminous value at 80 in the SDR box you were simply put in 90 or 95 redo the measurement and see where you end up. This is the best way to refine tuned the brightness of your display. Another solution would be to simply type in a value that won't give you the triangle with ! any more. The thing about this solution is that you are not going to get your display at the target luminance that you really want. Because this is simply a workaround to get fine-tune calibration to work. I hope this helps and it is enough if you have any follow-up questions please do so in a new comment or DM me.
@@ArtIsRight Thank you very much for your help and the workaround. tbh i don´t really understand why a display which has a max sdr output of 500 nits limits at 80 but that´s another thing. in the meantime i opened a ticket at apple and 2nd level support now wants to run some tests and send it to the technicians and developers team. i tried it so far in sonoma and sequoia and the issue is the same in both OS´s. for now i will use your workaround! thank you very much for your effort and i will keep you updated what the technicians find out!
Hai sir, i have received PD2706UA yesterday. I want to calibrate it for my video colour correction,Is there any video on PD series colour calibration? I didnt find any thing please help...thank you.
@@ArtIsRight Thank you sir, I don't have any external pro device to calibrate it. Just I had laptop,my benq monitor ... can I follow the Processor ... which you followed in this video.... for for colour calibration.I am new to this colour grading world. Kindly please let me know thank you.
@@ArtIsRight Can you please do a calibration on video rather than photo? I think that's fair since these higher tiered tools are mode geared to things that are digital images and not so much printing. And how is it that people in the industry get away with editing without a calibrated screen? I'm really bummed bc there's a color shift from my MBP Pro 21' to my iPhone and just bought the calibrite pro. been a pain researching
You'll never get those to match. And video would just be REC 709 or P3 like I said in the other comment, luminance is the same printing or not. Everything for the most parts are very similar
@@ArtIsRightpls do updated video with the new layout and include video 😭😭 lol. I’m all new to do this and I followed your previous tutorial but still a color shift on iPhone. I’m gonna test if still the same on mom’s new iPhone 15 max. So technically with the photo settings from your tutorial video I can edit with accurate colors for video? Bc it was set on P3 color space right?
I've calibrated my macbook with spyder 5 but the new created profile is not on the list so therefore i can't use it. Does anyone know how to fix it? MacBook pro m3
You have to set this profile using ColorSync Utility and Spyder 5 is really not capable of calibrating MiniLED backlight, it does not have the EDR / Spectral data necessary for it.
After finish calibration by i1profiler (I have i1display pro plus), profile then assign in colorsync and I notice color change normally. But once I restart mac os it reverse to origin, but still colorsync show that those icc profile still in use, but it not. I have to reset to factory then choose icc profile then it active again. Then it revert again after restart not keep that icc profile. In another world I have to manually pick icc profile every time power on. Did you have this problem? On Sonoma?
I'll have to test this more it is not what I observed. Technically the i1Display Plus does not have the full capability to calibrate XDR displays and that might have something to do with it as well. It is less likely but the possibility is not 0.
@@ArtIsRight Even i1 pro plus might not that capable but from what the result picture I have test it still acceptable from what I see, however every time I restart/reboot Mac I need to manually assign profile again is quite annoying. Actually it my clients laptop that upgrade to Sonoma, not clean install and sometimes quite not right.
acceptable and getting full gamut of the display are 2 totally different things. This is why is said in many of my previous videos that if you are going to calibrate but not able to get the full gamut and conformity, you might as well not. As far as color changes go in Sonoma, I would put in a support ticket with Calibrite, they want to track this. I can try to help you but if it is a bug in the OS, that will require Calibrite reaching out to Apple to file the bug report.
I see, for the full gamut of display... However for the color change in Sonoma after reboot, do you face this problem in your testing? Maybe some other M1 laptop? Cause feel it not Calibrite problem, it's job just create icc profile which it already does. From that on, apply those icc profile it is OS that do the job. So I feel like it Apple Sonoma problem. Or maybe bug from upgrade from Ventura, not clean install. It might solve by clean install Sonoma I don't know for sure. Coz it client's laptop. So if I may ask, did you face this problem in some other Mac laptop? @@ArtIsRight
Also those icc profile created from Calibrite is in effected after assigned or anytime I re-assigned - I can notice from the screen color- . Only that it revert back to something else -maybe factory default- after reboot. I need to re-apply icc profile in colorsync utility again after reboot. @@ArtIsRight
Not quite true. You can calibrate it with a fixed reference mode and if you change it back to Apple Display or XDR, one of the default mode at the top then the icc profile still applies to what you are seeing. For content consumption this is fine. For serious work, it is like one shooting to a constant moving target, not ideal for pro workflow nor is it recommended but each to their own.

th-cam.com/video/PLB93k9UYWc/w-d-xo.html For fine tune calibration any Calibrite or X-Rite Pro devices will work, however if you want to run the calibration and get proper gamut you'll need the HL devices.
Let's say I use this method to calibrate my Apple Pro Display XDR. If I then would color grade inside Davinci Resolve- would I use the BT 1886 reference mode as a starting point, and if so, does this method correctly calibrate to a Gamma of 2.4? And then, in Davinci, do I leave the "use mac display profiles for viewers" option on or off in order for the ICC profile to come across?
Which method, I outlined 3 in the dialog.I think you are referring to fine-tune calibration. You can choose to start with BT1886 gamma curve, which is close to gamma 2.4 but not exactly the same. Either way you need to choose the "use Mac display profile...." for the ICC profile to work.
Ok, I haven't read other comments, (sorry), but I want to know one thing... I have the Apple Studio Display and a 2023 16" MacBook Pro M2. I want to calibrate in my office to keep both screens, which I know are different tech, nearly the same for photo editing AND printing. Can I just use my Spyder X or get rid of the Studio Display and buy a BenQ?
Spyder X can't calibrate your laptop (it can, but you won't get full gamut), it can calibrate your studio display fully. Or you can get rid of the Studio Display and get a BenQ SW which would be hardware calibration and Palette Master Ultimate, BenQ software is compatible with Spyder X. If you are looking to buy a new calibration device, however, I recommend Calibrite Display Pro HL or Display Plus HL depending on your needs.
@@ArtIsRight Thanks. After watching another of your videos and having been a former BenQ owner I decided to return the Apple display today and ordered a BenQ 272U. For printing purposes I think this is my best choice. I appreciate all you do.
@@ArtIsRight I thought of one more thing...I sometimes need to edit for printing only on my MacBook. What should I set the MacBook screen to?
I would use the preset for photo, create a custom one and set the luminance level that you prefer
I have a 27 inch Apple Studio display I use with my mac mini which has the m2pro chip, in case that was important. I also use Calibrite's Color checker Display Pro, have you found that it's compatible with Sonoma? Thank you!
Yes, should run without any issues. There have been some scattered report about macOS not keeping the profile
@@ArtIsRight Oh no, that’s an important issue . I’m new to this Mac and I’m assuming the profile is under the display setting to check the profile that is.
only in very specific circumstances, not fully trackable or reproducible yet
@@ArtIsRight How do you suggest we check for the profile? Colorchecker does ask you to save it.
Art, have you had issues with the Sonoma update to use your external Benq? I cannot pass validation now in palette
It is not an issue with Sonoma as much as it is an issue with macOS and how the machine is setup at large. 99% of these cases has to do with the use of system migration or Time Machine backup restored during setup.
Huh? There is no such option in Sonoma system settings > Displays. I'm running 14.1.1. Is there some other setting elsewhere that would be blocking this?
If you don't see this, you don't have the Retina XDR display, meaning that you don't have a laptop that has these options. It is not just Sonoma, it is the laptop as well
what values should i put into the "fine-tune callibrate" to get the lowest white point
You need to watch this guide th-cam.com/video/PLB93k9UYWc/w-d-xo.html
sto usando da un mese basICColor display 6 e mi trovo benissimo anche con Sonoma. Perchè non fai una recenzione grazie.
I don't because their software clearly has bad purple blue color casting in the darker tones globally throughout the OS. And if you have Apple Pro Display, Fine tune calibration and then software calibrate using Calibrite Profilier is the better solution
@@ArtIsRight OK grazie
Sinmplesmente… muito obrigado! Fantástico!
Thank you
I use color munki display to calibrate so I dont need this anymore?
If your display supports this, you should use this method first. And if your display support, then the colorMunki device is not really capable of calibrating said display. Start a new comment for further questions or dm me
Hello, i´m using a MBP M1Max 16" with Sonoma 14.6.1 and Calibrite Display Pro HL together with the latest version of Calibrite software. When i try to finetune the whitepoint (in a separate copy of Photography P3 Setting) for both, L80 and L120 a yellow triangle shows up next to the target luminance and i cannot proceed. i did this already so often and never had this failure before (facotry preset is also set in color sync utility). please help.. and thank you in advance!!!!
So I need to do a video about this but here are the cause and work around:
Cause: overtime these MiniLED displays put them down. Because it is really a bright display and overtime they do. What you were seeing right now is the factory calibrate value not aligning with the actual lumens output of the display overtime.
Solutions: so what you have to do for this is just simply manipulate the luminance to a higher value in the presets setting screen. For example, if you want a luminous of 80, but when you're actually doing the measurement and is only showing you 70. You've typed this in to the white point fine tune and it's going to give you a caution triangle because it is out of range. so what you simply do in this case is create a new preset and rather than setting the luminous value at 80 in the SDR box you were simply put in 90 or 95 redo the measurement and see where you end up. This is the best way to refine tuned the brightness of your display.
Another solution would be to simply type in a value that won't give you the triangle with ! any more. The thing about this solution is that you are not going to get your display at the target luminance that you really want. Because this is simply a workaround to get fine-tune calibration to work.
I hope this helps and it is enough if you have any follow-up questions please do so in a new comment or DM me.
@@ArtIsRight Thank you very much for your help and the workaround. tbh i don´t really understand why a display which has a max sdr output of 500 nits limits at 80 but that´s another thing. in the meantime i opened a ticket at apple and 2nd level support now wants to run some tests and send it to the technicians and developers team. i tried it so far in sonoma and sequoia and the issue is the same in both OS´s. for now i will use your workaround! thank you very much for your effort and i will keep you updated what the technicians find out!
Hai sir, i have received PD2706UA yesterday. I want to calibrate it for my video colour correction,Is there any video on PD series colour calibration? I didnt find any thing please help...thank you.

@@ArtIsRight Thank you sir, I don't have any external pro device to calibrate it. Just I had laptop,my benq monitor ... can I follow the Processor ... which you followed in this video.... for for colour calibration.I am new to this colour grading world. Kindly please let me know thank you.
You are better off not calibrating it, if you don't have a device
@@ArtIsRight Thank you
what setting to use for instagram? for preset and do you know the values to adjust to?
REC 709 or P3
@@ArtIsRight Can you please do a calibration on video rather than photo? I think that's fair since these higher tiered tools are mode geared to things that are digital images and not so much printing. And how is it that people in the industry get away with editing without a calibrated screen? I'm really bummed bc there's a color shift from my MBP Pro 21' to my iPhone and just bought the calibrite pro. been a pain researching
You'll never get those to match. And video would just be REC 709 or P3 like I said in the other comment, luminance is the same printing or not. Everything for the most parts are very similar
@@ArtIsRightpls do updated video with the new layout and include video 😭😭 lol. I’m all new to do this and I followed your previous tutorial but still a color shift on iPhone. I’m gonna test if still the same on mom’s new iPhone 15 max. So technically with the photo settings from your tutorial video I can edit with accurate colors for video? Bc it was set on P3 color space right?
Really hate that I’m going through this problem such a rut and annoying. I can’t create 😭💔
The full calibration sounds brutal and expensive.
It can be
in my imac the presets option is not shownig...what i do
imac does not have a pro display and will not have these options
I've calibrated my macbook with spyder 5 but the new created profile is not on the list so therefore i can't use it. Does anyone know how to fix it? MacBook pro m3
You have to set this profile using ColorSync Utility and Spyder 5 is really not capable of calibrating MiniLED backlight, it does not have the EDR / Spectral data necessary for it.
@@ArtIsRight thank you for replying
Why i dont have calibrate option ?
probably because you have the regular LCD rather than the miniLED
After finish calibration by i1profiler (I have i1display pro plus), profile then assign in colorsync and I notice color change normally. But once I restart mac os it reverse to origin, but still colorsync show that those icc profile still in use, but it not. I have to reset to factory then choose icc profile then it active again. Then it revert again after restart not keep that icc profile. In another world I have to manually pick icc profile every time power on. Did you have this problem? On Sonoma?
I'll have to test this more it is not what I observed. Technically the i1Display Plus does not have the full capability to calibrate XDR displays and that might have something to do with it as well. It is less likely but the possibility is not 0.
@@ArtIsRight Even i1 pro plus might not that capable but from what the result picture I have test it still acceptable from what I see, however every time I restart/reboot Mac I need to manually assign profile again is quite annoying. Actually it my clients laptop that upgrade to Sonoma, not clean install and sometimes quite not right.
acceptable and getting full gamut of the display are 2 totally different things. This is why is said in many of my previous videos that if you are going to calibrate but not able to get the full gamut and conformity, you might as well not. As far as color changes go in Sonoma, I would put in a support ticket with Calibrite, they want to track this. I can try to help you but if it is a bug in the OS, that will require Calibrite reaching out to Apple to file the bug report.
I see, for the full gamut of display... However for the color change in Sonoma after reboot, do you face this problem in your testing? Maybe some other M1 laptop? Cause feel it not Calibrite problem, it's job just create icc profile which it already does. From that on, apply those icc profile it is OS that do the job. So I feel like it Apple Sonoma problem. Or maybe bug from upgrade from Ventura, not clean install. It might solve by clean install Sonoma I don't know for sure. Coz it client's laptop. So if I may ask, did you face this problem in some other Mac laptop? @@ArtIsRight
Also those icc profile created from Calibrite is in effected after assigned or anytime I re-assigned - I can notice from the screen color- . Only that it revert back to something else -maybe factory default- after reboot. I need to re-apply icc profile in colorsync utility again after reboot. @@ArtIsRight
Ahh why dont i have a preset option?
you may not have the right computer / display combo. Not all of them do, in laptop only the XDR have them
Brightness was blocked, how can I fix it? =[ tsk
In reference mode it is not block but by design.
It doesn't just block on APPLE XDRs, but in this format I can only calibrate if buying a colorimeter is unfair.@@ArtIsRight
Not quite true. You can calibrate it with a fixed reference mode and if you change it back to Apple Display or XDR, one of the default mode at the top then the icc profile still applies to what you are seeing. For content consumption this is fine. For serious work, it is like one shooting to a constant moving target, not ideal for pro workflow nor is it recommended but each to their own.
Hi, you're right. I would like to take this opportunity to say that I learned how to calibrate my Macbook 16 screen by watching your videos, thank you.@@ArtIsRight
No worries, thank you! Always appreciate the conversation :)
