![]() If those also are calibrated, it might still be close though -) especially if they have the same gamut (color capability). If you have multiple monitors, then those will not display as good a color match. You cannot set more than one to be active this way - as far as I know. NOTE that Firefox will only adjust to the profile of the monitor *you* *pick* in step step 3 above. restart Firefox It should be active / running now. These has been around for long now, should really work.Ĩ - Close the tab, close Firefox and then. enablev4 set to "true" for allowing v4 profiles to be used. rendering_intent set to "2" for handling all content. mode should be "1" for enabling color management overall. ![]() Right click on top of it, a menu appears: select Copy.ĥ - Open Firefox, enter "about:config" in the address field, type "gfx.col" in the search field (exclude the quotes).Ħ - One visible line should be "gfx.color_managment.profile_name", double-click on it, clear any contents in the dialog that appears, and paste the filename.ħ - check the other "gfx.color_managment.*" settings: icc - drag your mouse pointer over it - making the text be selected. Select one of them, which to use for web browsing "in Color calibrated mode" - click on the active profile and click Ĥ - On the first tab you will find a filename ending with. NOTE: This is NOT a filename (I made this mistake).ģ - As you have the monitor(s) calibrated. Profile title - this is free text that gets displayed in the System "Color" settings, for your reference. ![]() See through your display settings, match up with your choice here as much as possible and you might get a better result in the end. White point - CIE D65 is the standard for photography, a slightly "warm" (yellowish) setting. Your display type - well, I can't help there -) - look up your display with google and scan through the technical data. I have not "noted" others, but there should be more to choose from.Īs ArgyllCMS comes pre-installed in Ubuntu, it is just a question of using it:ġ - Click on "System settings" and select "Color".Ģ - Click on the monitor you wish to calibrate (you may step through all of them if you have several),Ĭlick on the button and folllow prompts.Įdit: Among other things you will have choices that can be answered by:Ĭalibration quality - up to you! The lengthier time spent indicates more thorough measurements being done, sometimes that might help solve problems, but under "good conditions" it might also be a waste of time. Three that I have noted are Colormunki, Spyder 3 and 4 (the last is the one I own). Step 2 requires a hardware calibration device, a spectrophotometer, that is supported by ArgyllCMS, the software used / behind the hood. Let's start with the basics to get a monitor profiled and Firefox running, adjusted to that fact.įor this to be understandable you will probably have to have a running Ubuntu!

Not that they might be "the best" in any way, but I hope to at least give a starting point My aim with starting this thread is to present my findings. If you get bitten, the starting point is - it seems to run well on many hardware combinations, as long as it isn't "obscure" (hard to describe better). After some trials with differing Linux distributions I ended up with Ubuntu 13.10 installed on very new hardware.
