Assignment 1: Monitor Calibration and production of a Monitor Profile. 5%

Due: End of Class, Wednesday Jan 27

Purpose: To familiarize students with colour management issues and monitor calibration.

Method: To be demonstrated in class.


• Use the Greitag Eye-One or Color Eyes software and “puck” to calibrate and create a proper profile for your monitor.

• Choose 'CREATE MONITOR PROFILE' to begin the monitor calibration process; follow the step-by-step onscreen instructions.

• Name the profile using the format "DATE + Computer# + your name"
(Ex: jan_31_4G13-21_lbreidon).

• Copy your profile, you should find it in the User/Library/Colorsync/Profiles folder. Submit a copy to my Dropbox.

• The copy placed in my Dropbox must be in a folder titled DL2_Ass1_1st initial family name. (Ex: DL2_Ass1_lbreidon) If the folder isn’t titled properly the assignment won’t be marked. (I receive hundreds of assignments in a semester. You have to make it easy for me to find things.)

• Activate your monitor profile by going to the Apple icon drop-down menu and selecting System Preferences -> Display -> Color . Choose your new monitor profile in the list.

Submit:

One monitor profile.
