#COLORMUNKI DISPLAY TOO WARM PRO#
If you happen to acquire a good one cheaply and it performs within you expectations and has fairly uniform color, I say go for it.Īlso, it should be noted Apple will be introducing 4k displays (and probably curved glass) with Mac Pro n the fall, so you might want to hold off a little if you want the absolute best. Having experienced this first hand, I can say that I wanted to keep that display forever, but the plastics/lamination simply failed.
Meaning that calibration will get confused, no matter what. The problem with the Apple 30 is the matte front will yellow unevenly over time.
Hearing that your sample responds well to the Colormunki is quite reassuring and I will now order the i1 Display Pro with confidence.įor my Epson 3880 the canned profiles are quite satisfactory, so I'll only need a colorimeter for the display, not a print calibration solution. And yes it's the aluminium 30" ACD that I have. In your case it might be better to place the puck over the area of most consistency on your screen and use that area for later color evaluation. The display profiling procedure directs you to place the puck in the center of the screen. The Colormunki profiles gave a good size extension to darker tones towards black and particularly magentas and blues in the gamut. I was also surprised to see that the ICC profiles I made for various Epson and Canson papers were better than the factory profiles that are already very good. I am able to get brightness down to 80 and color now matches my 3880 output. I use a Colormunki Photo to calibrate the display and it works very well. Mine has exceptionally flat tonal and color uniformity across the screen. I have the aluminum 30" inch Cinema Display if that's what you're asking about. I would appreciate any feedback on this combination. After browsing many articles, my choice is a i1Display Pro. Main question really: did you manage to turn this monitor into a usable working device? Did you use colorimeters and what results did you have? I am looking for photographers who own (or have owned) this display and who are willing to share how you managed colour accuracy. Some internet sources mention that the 30" Apple Cinema Display in particular is hard to calibrate.
#COLORMUNKI DISPLAY TOO WARM SOFTWARE#
Setting up my PP software to always work on the same area on my screen will do for now. In 2014 I wish to get a 5DmkIII or 1DmkIV so the earliest time to get a new display will be 2015 or 2016.īecause I do know that my 30" Apple Cinema Display is too warm no matter which quadrant I work on, I need to calibrate it in order to get consistent prints from my 3880, which I will use for selling my studio prints. There is no budget at this time for another display. This year, a decent studio lighting setup (all Elinchrom) and a high quality printer (Epson 3880) have my priorities. Still - as a part time pro photographer - I have to make choices when acquiring gear. When I work on an image on the left side of the screen and drag it to the right side the color changes are very obvious. It has non-uniformities across the screen in both colour and brightness. I am aware of the shortcomings of my 30" Apple Cinema Display. To 30" Apple Cinema Display users: a calibration question.
