Exporting a ColorSync profile

To create a ColorSync profile of the current settings of your monitor, follow
these steps:

1

Open the Monitors & Sound control panel, then click the Color button.

2

Select the white point and gamma value you want to export.

3

If necessary, click Recalibrate.

Before you can create a ColorSync profile, your display must be calibrated to
the settings you want to export. If the Export button is dimmed, you need to
recalibrate the monitor for the selected settings.

4

Click Export.

A Directory dialog box appears.

5

Enter a name for the profile and click Save.

A ColorSync profile is created that describes the white point and gamma
value for your monitor.

Note: The ambient light setting is not saved as part of the ColorSync profile.
Ambient light changes as the physical location of the monitor changes; the
correct ambient light setting for your monitor will not be correct for another
monitor.
