An explanation of the available rendering intents can be found in the 3D LUT section “”. For more information on why a source gamut is needed, see “” in the ArgyllCMS documentation. One strategy for getting the best perceptual results with display profiles is as follows: Select a CMYK profile as source for gamut mapping. Then, when converting from another RGB profile to the display profile, use relative colorimetric intent, and if converting from a CMYK profile, use the perceptual intent. Another approach which especially helps limited-gamut displays is to choose one of the larger (gamut-wise) source profiles you usually work with for gamut mapping, and then always use perceptual intent when converting to the display profile. Please note that not all applications support setting a rendering intent for display profiles and might default to colorimetric (e.g. Photoshop normally uses relative colorimetric with black point compensation, but can use different intents via custom soft proofing settings).

It is their issue. People change what's on their computer all the time and whats on one computer is not necessarily on another. The designers of most software used by photographers ( or at least by this photographer) manage to build in a degree of resilience to that. So in the final analysis, after a bit of cajoling, X-Rite did the right thing and good on them for that. I had a problem with my ColorMunkiwhen clicking on the Measure button, the message ' ColorMunki Display not connected.

In addition, the profile loader is -aware and will disable calibration loading if it detects e.g. MadTPG or madVR being used by a video player.
But, to have the best possible quality printer profiles, you also needed to purchase additional software, such as the $2495 ProfileMaker software. ColorMunki Photo changes all of that though with a single product that does monitor, printer, and projector profiling, all for $499 (Figure 1). This isn't a stripped down hardware product either. It uses the same spectrophotometer found in the high end profiling devices sold by X-Rite, but it brings a much friendlier interface that is more intuitive for the average user.
Now the smaller WHITE gamut projection was produced with an i1Pro 2 using the maximum number of calibration colours; this corresponds to the coloured projection in the Coloursynch window image. The GREEN gamut projection is the supplied iMac system monitor profile – which is slightly “pants” due to its obvious smaller size. What’s astonished me is that the Colormunki Photo with the new software v1.2.1 has produced a larger gamut for the display than the i1 Pro 2 did under Mountain Lion OSX 10.8 I’ve only done a couple of test prints via softproofing in Lightroom, but so far the new monitor profile has led to a small improvement in screen-to-print matching of the some subtle yellow-green and green-blue mixes, aswell as those yellowish browns which I often found tricky to match when printing from the iMac. So, my advice is this, if you own a Colormunki Photo and have upgraded your iMac to Yosemite CHECK your X-Rite software version number.
One feature that will appeal to the newcomer especially, is the on-screen directions. When you use the ColorMunki Photo, it has a built-in calibration routine. The software directs you to turn the dial to the correct position for the current operation and lets you know when it's ready for the next step (Figure 5). Figure 5 Printer profiling is where ColorMunki Photo really breaks new ground though (Figure 6). Typically, a high quality printer profile uses 1,000 or more color patches to generate a profile for a particular paper and ink combination. The DataColor Spyder3Print is able to produce high quality profiles with about 500 color patches (including the extended grays target to improve black & white print quality).
We work in a bunker that enjoys diffused sunlight during the day and when we work at night, it's moonlight or no light. In a proper environment, the room lighting remains constant.
Plus, you'll be able to send your images to your clients with a high level of confidence that they are viewed in a calibrated environment with the DigitalPouch communication tool. The Swiss-engineered ColorMunki spectrophotometer is a portable all-in-one device that provides Monitor, Projector & Printer Profiling, along with ambient light measurement and spot color measurement without the need for any cumbersome accessories to repurpose the device; it even has a Built-in white calibration tile for self calibration. Think of it as a 'Swiss Army Knife' of color management. You'll get precise monitor calibration using a basic mode with preconfigured settings or an advanced mode with settings for white point, ambient compensation and precalibration. It also has the ability to capture the ambient light within a room or a light box for an impressive level of color calibration. The ColorMunki is even capable of fast and accurate projector profiling to project your images to your clients, family, or friends with color confidence.
Colormunki Photo Update Both my MacPro and non-retina iMac used to be on Mountain Lion, or OSX 10.8, and nope, I never updated to Mavericks as I’d heard so many horror stories, and I basically couldn’t be bothered – hey, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it! But, I wanted to install CapOne Pro on the iMac for the live-view capabilities – studio product shot lighting training being the biggest draw on that score. So I downloaded the 60 day free trial, and whadyaknow, I can’t install it on anything lower than OSX 10.9! Bummer thinks I – and I upgrade the iMac to OSX 10.10 – YOSEMITE. Now I was quite impressed with the upgrade and I had no problems in the aftermath of the Yosemite installation; so after a week or so muggins here decided to do the very same upgrade to his late 2009 Mac Pro. OHHHHHHH DEARY ME – what a pigs ear of a move that turned out to be!
Hi Jtoolman, I just found this website which sheds some light on your question in your video regarding the ' Achieve display luminance value using video LUT' checkbox in the new ColorMunki v1.2.2 software release. Go to: The site says: SPECIAL NOTE: It’s very rare, but some people have screens which can’t achieve a low enough brightness. Even with the brightess setting turned all the way down to zero, the yellow bar is still too high. If this happens to you, press “Back” to get back to the main screen, then go to File>Preferences and check the “Achieve display luminance value using video LUT’s” checkbox. Then commence the calibration again. Put your screen’s brightness as low as it can go, and the Munki itself will lower the brightness the rest of the way when it makes the profile. 
Also, I found the following about Enable ADC: Enable ADC: This should be checked.
Hi Andrew – thank you so much for responding. I am using a 2013 Imac (pre-5k), epson R3000 and usually ilford galleria papers of canson baryta. For a while, I was having success matching prints to screen by doing random calibrations on top of other calibrations, but since I started doing them based on the imac base profile, my prints come out way too red in the skin tones, even though I1 DP says it succeeded in hitting the calibration mark. I just want something that works and for those darn skin tones to be nice. I wish you could rent the colormunki’s in canada as I would try that first. What are your thoughts on using the colormunki photo on the epson r3000? Hi Joe Your last question first – NO, I would NOT use a CMP to write a custom profile for an Epson 3000 printer; under any circumstances.
This is required to be able to use the Spyder 2 with ArgyllCMS and DisplayCAL. If your measurement device is a i1 Display 2, i1 Display Pro, ColorMunki Display, DTP94, Spyder 2/3/4/5, a popup dialog will show and allow you to import generic from the vendor software which may help measurement accuracy on the type of display you're using. After importing, they are available under the “Correction” dropdown, where you can choose one that fits the type of display you have, or leave it at “Auto” if there is no match. Note: Importing from the Spyder 4/5 software enables additional measurement modes for that instrument. • Click “Calibrate & profile”.
