Hi, normally I use the default ColorSync profile "iMac". To test if what I was viewing was acceptable or not I decided to make a new profile in the Expert Mode ColorSync Window. I found the expert mode calibration window under System Preference/Displays/Color.
I proceeded to adjust the sliders in various luminance steps, then selected 1.8 target gamma as best choice, then D65, named, and saved the profile. Remember that my choices are based upon me viewing the calibrators' slider results and the gamma choices in real time, on screen.
To test between the new profile and the default "iMac" profile, I toggle back and forth in the profile list window.
There is a Chiaroscuro effect using the new profile, compared to the default "iMac" profile.
Colors are more saturated. Shadows are deeper. Subtle colors are more saturated.
My question is: if I am calibrating the same way I calibrated CRT monitors in the past, why is there such a dramatic difference between a calibrated profile and a default profile on my Intel 27" iMac. Is the ColorSync Color Calibration unreliable for Intel iMac use? I am adjusting the luminance sliders the same way as before, matching the apples to the gray backgrounds in the calibration windows. I am not choosing dramatic differences, I am choosing to match apples and their backgrounds.
I think Apple needs to at least say that Expert Calibration Mode isn't appropriate for calibrating a 27" iMac Displays.
What results does anyone else get using Expert Mode in ColorSync on a 27" iMac?
