This article explains how to color correct monitors and printers using the eye one color correcting software.

==Monitors==
===Step #1 - Begin===
Plug in the Eye-One, Open the Eye-One Match software, and click on the monitor icon. At the bottom of the window select the advanced mode and press the forward arrow button.

===Step #2 - Monitor Select===
Select the monitor type and click the forward arrow button.

[[Image:monitortype.png|550px]]

===Step #3 - Settings===
Select the appropriate White point, Gamma, and Luminance. If it is a Macintosh computer, The white point should be "Warm White (5000)," the Gamma should be 1.8 and the Luminance should be 140.

===Step #4 - Calibrate===
Calibrate the Eye-One by placing the Eye-One on the white tile plate and clicking the "Calibrate" button or pressing the button on the side of the Eye-One.

[[Image:calibrate.png|550px]]

===Step #5 - Attach===
Attach the Eye-One to the monitor strap attachment and then drape the weight over the back of the monitor so that the sensor of the Eye-One is a close to the center of the screen as possible. Make sure that the Eye-One is lying flat on the monitor then click the forward arrow.

[[Image:monitoratch.png|550px]]

===Step #6 - Contrast===
Press the start button to start the contrast calibration.

[[Image:contrast.png|550px]]

Your screen will turn black and boxes will start flashing on the screen. Once they stop, a meter will appear in the upper right-hand corner of the screen. Use the monitor control to adjust the contrast so that the black marker is in the center of the meter. After it is balanced, click close then click the forward arrow button.

[[Image:contrasttest.png|550px]]

===Step #7 - White Point===
Press the start button to begin the White Point calibration.

[[Image:whitepoint.png|550px]]

The screen will flash like it did for the contrast calibration then in the upper right-hand corner of the screen three meters for R G and B will appear. Use the monitor controls to make all three black markers centered on the RGB meters. It is easiest to first center the "B" meter then the "G" meter and finally the "R" meter. When one meter is adjusted this will effect the position of the other meters so you will have to experiment with all three meters to make them centered. After the RGB is balanced, click the close button then click the forward arrow button to continue to the next step.

[[Image:whitepointtest.png|550px]]

===Step #8 - Luminance===
Press the start button to begin the luminance calibration.

[[Image:luminance.png|550px]]

Once again, the screen will flash. Once it completes you will have to use the monitor controls to center the black marker on the luminance meter. After the luminance is balanced, click the close button the click the forward arrow button to continue to the next step.

[[Image:luminancetest.png|550px]]

===Step #9 - Measure===
After clicking the forward button, Eye-One match will do one last measurement to create an icc profile for the monitor. Let this complete. This step does not require you to manually change anything.

[[Image:measurement.png|550px]]

===Step #10 - Finishing===
Uncheck the reminder checkbox and click the forward arrow button to finish the calibration.

[[Image:saveprofile.png|550px]]

===Step #11===
Navigate to System preferences and click on "Accounts". Click the "Login Items" tab and highlight the profile reminder item from the list. Click the minus button to remove the profile reminder from the list of login items.

[[Image:calibrate.png|550px]]

===Step #5 - Measure Chart===

Make sure the mode is set to Strip Mode. Use the measurement ruler and the Eye-One to scan each line of the chart you printed in step #2 from left to right starting with line 1 and ending with line 17. To scan a line, press the button on the Eye-One, wait for the beep, scan the line, release the button, wait for the beep again, and move to the next line. Once you have scanned all 17 lines press the forward arrow button to continue to the next step.

Color correction in Adobe Photoshop

Mfillmor: /* Conversion options */

This article will show you how to match color profiles in Adobe Photoshop to the printer.

==Color settings==
The color settings dialogue box allows users to set up working spaces and determines how color will be handled when files are opened. To navigate to the color settings dialogue box click Edit > Color Settings.
Then, on the right side, click the "More Options" button so that your window looks like the one below.

[[Image:colorsettings.png]]

===Working space===
The working space is where you set a standard color profile. This is used as a central location for color and will set your default color settings for files in Photoshop.
Use the following settings for your working space:

[[Image:Workingspace.png]]

===Color management policies===
Color management policies determine what will happen when files are opened or pasted into Photoshop. Adobe Photoshop has the ability to read and preserve incoming color profiles. Set all of the management policies to preserve embedded profiles. We may or may not want Photoshop to preserve the embedded profile, check all of the check boxes below to make Photoshop give you color management options when you open a file.

[[Image:colormgt.png]]

===Conversion options===

The conversion options determine the method Photoshop will use while converting the color profile to the working space profile. When converting a profile there are four different intents each with their pros and cons.
*The perceptual intent preserves the visual relationship between the source's colors. In other words, the color stays proportional to itself. This type of intent is best for pictures, and is the recommended intent for most documents.
*The saturation intent preserves the brightness or saturation of colors when transforming them into the working space's profile. This intent is best used in situations where the exact color of a photo is less important then the brightness of the photo (like a business graph or logo).
*The relative colorimetric intent will give you the most accurate color matching of all the intents, but the color gamut will be cliped when converting from a large color gamut like Adobe RGB to a smaller color gamut like a printer.
*The absolute colorimetric intent has the ability to simulate the paper white and is thus useful for hard copy proofing.
Under conversion options make sure "Use Black Point Compensation" is checked and "Use Dither" is unchecked. The intent should be set as "perceptual" and the engine should be left as the default "Adobe (ACE)". Note: these are the most common settings. If you know you want a different rendering intent then select that intent. If you are unsure what intent you want, use the perceptual intent.

[[Image:conversion.png]]

==Soft proof settings==
Once you have finished editing your file in Photoshop, you will want to know how your image will look once it is printed. This is where soft proofing comes in. To access the soft proof settings, click: View > Proof Setup > Custom. To ensure that your soft proof looks like what the printer will print use the following soft proof settings:

[[Image:softproof.png]]

note: After soft proofing a file, the image on the screen will look very muddy. This is an actual portrayal of what the image will look like on paper. If necessary, now is the time to make final adjustments to the image before printing.

==Printing preferences==
Now that you are ready to print, there are just a few more preferences that need to be changed. Open the print dialogue box by clicking: File > Print.

[[Image:printsetup.png]]

On the right-hand side of the print dialogue box, use the following settings to make the printer use the correct color profile for the printer.

Once your settings have been changed, click the print button in the lower right hand corner to print.

*The absolute colorimetric intent has the ability to simulate the paper white and is thus useful for hard copy proofing.
Under conversion options make sure "Use Black Point Compensation" is checked and "Use Dither" is unchecked. The intent should be set as "perceptual" and the engine should be left as the default "Adobe (ACE)".
