Nothing is more important for color perfectionist photographers to get consistent accurate color through every aspect of the shoot, from set to delivery and print. In this video, we show you how to use the i1studio to calibrate every major device you use as a photographer to get perfect color through your entire workflow.
Use the i1studio to calibrate your:
Camera
Monitor
Printer
Projector
Scanner
iOS

Can you calibrate my eyes 🙂
I was curious, Does the Canon Pro 10 still use the Chroma Optimizer ink still if you use custom printer icc's?
perceptual intent moves out of gamut colors smoothly as a group with in gamut colors
relative intent moves the specific out of gamut color.
using relative intent can leave banding in some instances – in areas like skies, etc. with similar colors.
Hello Patrick, this is one of the most concise and accurate explanations of color calibration I have ever watched. I am new to this and there is still something I do not fully understand. I understand the point of calibrating the monitor, but the printer+paper? I mean, I use a particular paper (e.g, matte, glossy, metallic, etc.) because it gives me that particular look to the photo I want. If a photo looks the same regardless the printer/paper combination, what is the point of using different papers?
Meh, I just send them to a good photo lab. I know the pictures won't be too dark or too bright because 128 is 128.
Awesome Video!!!! Thank you for taking the time!!!
Its pretty much the same price of my DSLR. Perfect.
Very nice video.can we use this in photo lab on qss 3201 sd noritsu for silver halide prints ?
Thanks.
calibrating the android as well is on the go revision… handy man.. handy.
Does it work on 200$ monitors
11:30 probably best to avoid reflective surface behind the paper for the scan. My preference would be a neutral matte surface.
Question, it is more accurate than spyder? is the brand really an issue on calibrator tool? thanks
Do you know why he hit the "medium gray" to get the proper white balance? I would suspect that a white would give you an accurate "white balance."
this is by far the best tutorial on the i1studio that ive seen and everything is all together with changing the profiles to even comparing the calibrated vs not calibrated
Excellent video. Thank you for your hard work!
Where would i get a nice desk like that? What is it called?
Question – after calibrating, why would you ever want to turn OFF the color profile for other tasks? (like watching movies or gaming). Don't we want the most accurate colors for ALL tasks?
Angel's Landing! What a great hike.
The thing with calibrating your devices is that the client will still see your product on an uncalibrated computer/cellphone anyways. For example when you edit a photo for instagram in the pc, almost everytime its neccesary to make changes afterwards because it looks different on an iphone, different on a samsung, etc etc
Question: Does it matter if you assign a colour profile (ie: ProPhoto, Adobe 1998) to your photo file, or should you assign no profile since you're dealing with profiles for the printer and paper already? Thanks!
How can i calibrate the display on a notebook? there are no manual controls, and from windows only the gamma and brightness can be changed.
these nibbas really using windows 7 in 2018
this is… thank you!!
This guy probably bangs every model he shoots
Thank you. Now, how will we get everyone's eyes/brains color calibrated.
Wow, she is remarkably hot…
USE 5K IMAC SCREEN TO RESOLVE THE COLOR ACCURACY THING AND A SPECIALIZED PRINTER FOR PHOTOS 🙂
This video is good for private user to understand how calibration work. Well done. But not for a pro's.
P.S. Between colorimeter (i1DisplayPro, Spyder5Pro…) and spectrophotometer (i1Pro, ColormunkiPhoto, i1Studio…) is huge difference. Everyone must know that.
When you take the first picture in the studio of Erica holding the color checker, which WB, Style and exposure do you use? Will it work with any WB? Any setting in the camera?
Really good tutorial, cheers
Thank you Patrick for the great tutorial. Question: since calibration of the monitor is a must and the end result would be accurate colors seen on the monitor in relation to the photo taken, what in your opinion is the bare bone minimum monitor specs I should consider for photo editing.
I've looked at BenQ, LG, Samsung, Dell..all in the $1000+ range but the specs vary making a few hundred here and there seem frivolous for the difference gained. Quite confusing.
I'm in search of both a monitor and calibration tool.
I thank you in advance for your input.
scan it on calibrated scanner and you can compare directly with original image.
thanks for video
I believe this is definitely worth it
When businesses go beyond relevance, get greedy and force consumers to purchase redundant devices by denying software updates and pushing gimmicky revisions that include a dumb neoprene case that doesn't sit on the screen well, it's time to reexamine Capitalism. The cost of these products is insulting.
Does any one know if there's a monitor calibration cheat sheet some where on the web?
sellout video
This was an AWESOME video! Thanks for sharing!
1:08 in when the color checker is shown next to Erica's face did you correct the color? If so, then why not the luminosity?
what is that leather wrist fashion bracelet? does it help with calibration?
This was the BEST video on monitor color calibration I've seen.
Time 7 20 : Now we are going to print again the second one
Time 7 23 : We have waited a good one hour for it to dry
hahaha busted
this X-Rite color checker is a TOTAL RIP OFF… Way way over priced and Patrick is being sneeking here with the price… pretty shameful from Fstoppers.
