Color calibrating my display on Linux / Manjaro

[idh1oi12jkl31jk2bgve3jk12b]

Hi everyone. 

 

Decided to finally give Linux a try after a while. I am rusty. 

 

I have a 27" HP display which, under windows, in the Intel Graphics Manager (or whatever that program was called), I calibrated to my liking. Extra punchy colors and high contrast helps me with my reading. Looks awesome. 

 

I just installed the Gnome version of Manjaro. Anyone might be able to tell me how do I do this? 

 

I cannot see any way to calibrate this display under "color" (under Devices). 

 

When I remove the profile, the Calibrate option is grayed out. 

 

Thanks so much!!!

Most Calibration Software requires Calibration tools. LPROF listed on that page doesn't work, its been dead for quite some time.

You can save your ICC profiles from windows and import them into Linux however.

 

If your wanting something like windows built in Calibration.

For KDE Plasma its simple as opening Gamma settings.

For Gnome https://ak737.blogspot.com/2018/07/a-simple-color-calibration-guide-for.html

There may be other software, this is just what I know about.

Along with the top, I want to calibrate my monitor as I'm new to Linux after dumping Windows crap, and am a keen photographer who needs to have the monitor calibrated for the images to reflect the correct tones and colours they should have. 

 

I need to know is the software for Manjaro xfce that I can use to do this with, I've just about exhausted my search for suitable software that does this. Help, please!

OpenRGB is a likely place to start to resolve your concern, IMO.

Best wishes!

 

GIMP tools (especially histogram and levels) is what I use for photo editing, as a suggestion.

 

See:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_color_management for basic understanding.  ICC color profiles are available through repositories on many distros.  Ubuntu has them; a person may have to simply add sources to /etc/apt/sources.list  the  apropos . . . /sources.list.d/  directories, as the case may be.
