Addicted to Fun and Learning
I've had this question in mind for some years. I figure this might just be a perfect place with all kinds of experts around!
I've been playing around with color management on PC, editing photos and dealing with designer on an armature level, so my focus was primarily on editing and pre-press. Wanted to do from the beginning by profiling my camera as well, but Capture One requires an .icc profile which is troublesome/expensive to build, and I do not use LR that often (coz CO's raw converter is simply so so much better). So I think I get the general idea of calibration and profiling, CMS etc. Gamma is kind of tricky to understand, as in which to use under certain viewing environment, aside from just sticking to the standard required.
My knowledge is therefore limited on stills, in PC environment with an OS and software running. Not so much when it comes to motion pictures when everything is hard-wired. And I want to learn more about the real deal.
I'm using X-rite's i1 Display Pro.
So let me start it off.
How do you guys calibrate your system? and what are the methods available commercially / in industry's compliance?
