>>Russell Proulx <email@hidden>: Without creating a custom
profile the only one for Adobe apps to use seems to be the one
canned profile that ships with the monitor. Is that correct?
First...I'm running a Win7(pro/64bit) system so I'm not sure if Win10
(ugh!) works the same way and I use a DataColor Spyder to calibrate my
monitor and have never used X-Rite equipment.
I have the Asus ProArt 248Q. I used the Asus PA248Q supplied profile as
a starting point. If memory serves, I copied the profile to
C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\color.
I then went to Control Panel > Color Mangement > Device tab: in the
"Device" section, I chose my PA249Q monitor and, in the "Profiles
Associated with this device" section, I clicked on the "Add" button and
either found the PA248Q Asus-supplied profile in the "ICC Profiles" list
or used the "Browse" button to navigate to
C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\color for the PA248Q profile--I'm
pretty sure the profile showed up in the "ICC Profiles" list since I had
done the copy to the \color subdir. I rebooted at this point.
Using the monitor's OSD (on screen display), I did tweak my monitor
settings prior to running the Spyder software as follows: Brightness=25,
Contrast=80, Saturation=50, Hue=50, Color
Temp=6500k, Gamma=2.2--basically, this was just to make the monitor
"normal" to my particular eyes and I'm not sure it's need/necessary. I
rebooted after doing this
I then started the Datacolor Spyder software working my way through its
calibration process using: Gamma=2.2, WhitePoint=6500k,
Brightness=120cd/m2 tweaking the monitor settings (via OSD) as necessary.
Once the Spyder calibration process was completed, it created a monitor
profile (I chose a custom name rather than use the default generated
name) which was saved in C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\color. I
checked Contorl Panel > Color Management to confirm that the new profile
was not only listed in the "Profile associated with this device" but
also set as the default. I then rebooted and the Spyder's "profile has
been loaded" message displayed.
Hope the above proves useful...
