+ First monitor calibration using ColorHug +
+
+ 31st May 2012 +
+
+

A few days ago my color calibration gadget +ColorHug arrived in the +mail, and I've had a few days to test it. As all my machines are +running Debian Squeeze, where +the +calibration software is missing (it is present in Wheezy and Sid), +I ran the calibration using the Fedora based live CD. This worked +just fine. So far I have only done the quick calibration. It was +slow enough for me, so I will leave the more extensive calibration for +another day.

+ +

After calibration, I get a ICC color profile file that can be +passed to programs understanding such tools. KDE do not seem to +understand it out of the box, so I searched for command line tools to +use to load the color profile into X. xcalib was the first one I +found, and it seem to work fine for single monitor setups. But for my +video player, a laptop with a flat screen attached, it was unable to +load the color profile for the correct monitor. After searching a +bit, I +discovered +that the dispwin tool from the argyll package would do what I wanted, +and a simple

+ +

+dispwin -d 1 profile.icc
+

+ +

later I had the color profile loaded for the correct monitor. The +result was a bit more pink than I expected. I guess I picked the +wrong monitor type for the "led" monitor I got, but the result is good +enough for now.
