PC fine tuning

[Davide-R]

Hi to everyone,

I'm new on the forum, and i've a lot of question to make about COLOR calibration.

My setup is:

• Ryzen 2600
• Radeon PRO WX3100 for 10bit colour
• Monitor Samung U32H850 (10 Bit)

I'have seen the Taran video about color calibration but he didn't talk about Lightroom. I mainly use that program but i'did not understand if the color profile is enabled.

I set the .ICC file in windows but i didn't see any change at all.

The question is: how i can control if the color profile is active or not? where the ICC profile is active and where is not.

For example if i export some photo from lightroom to photoshop using the Prophoto color when in photoshop is completely different.

Some one help me

If you are on windows 10, open the same JPEG in Windows 10 photo viewer and the older one from Windows 7 (you should have both). If they are different then it is at least working on that level as the windows 7 one is colour managed while windows 10 one is not. If they are different then open JPEG with no editing at all in lightroom and compare what you see to the two viewers.

(To see if lightroom is using it)

 

Depending on how accurate your monitor was out of the box there might not be that much difference.

 

Someone correct me if I am wrong tho.

 

Btw, how are you liking that monitor? I didn't find much reviews on it, I removed it for the list of potential monitors because of it, but I wonder what you think of it.

I'm linked via DP always for the 10 bit.

Thank you for the suggestion. i'will try.

The monitor also come with a calibration certificate, it was calibrated in the factory and saved in the personal mode in the OSD menu., this can also mean that the calibration is done via hardware and the provided ICC profile onli set a default Srgb profile on windows?
