Cross Platforms Display Calibration and Profiling

The monitor is an important part in many digital
applications, including graphic design, digital
photography and prepress proofing. In fact,
designers and prepress personnel rely on their
monitors for good color decisions for printed jobs.
Therefore, it is important to have an accurate
monitor setting for accurate color display.
Technically the color display of the monitor depends
on the correlation between monitor and the platform
it s on and the type of video card available.

This book presents a new approach to achieve a
consistent color across platform using the same
hardware (CPU, monitor video controller, etc.). It
also describes the main issue that affects the
accuracy of monitor profiles. Different monitor
profiles were built using different profiling
software. A program code was used to customize new
profiles based on the data that were generated from
the previous set of monitor profiles. The customized
profiles were then tested and evaluated across
platforms.

This work will open new doors for students and
practicing engineers in an attempt to find new ways
to achieve the color accuracy goal across different
media
