Correction Curve Error on Macintosh
Posted by Larisa Bolli on 09 July 2009 08:01 AM
Prior to calibrating on a Macintosh: Ensure within your system preferences > energy saver, sleep modes are set to never during calibration, also set the screen saver to never.

Also please ensure the colorimeter (Spyder) has been plugged into a Rear USB port. Front or keyboard ports, powered hubs may not provide enough power to drive the colorimeter properly.

If you are on a MacBook or MacBook Pro it is also very important to unplug all USB peripherals during calibration such as external hard drives and printers.

Also ensure you are not attempting to calibrate while on your battery, utilize the AC adapter.

Also ensure you change the automatic brightness feature to off, should you have this feature.

If your luminance is set too high, a color cast could occur, set your brightness to 50% initially, and calibrate. This is subjective so if the screen looks too dark readjust and recalibrate.
