A look at the new Calibrite Profiler calibration software!

A look & Overview of the new Calibrite Profiler calibration software! Calibrite just released a new software called Calibrite Profiler. This video will show a demo display calibration along with go over the new features, changes and improvements. In addition this video will also go over the difference between ColorChecker Profiler & ColorChecker Studio compared to this new calibration software as well. Find out more in this video.

This video is SO helpful. Thank you for taking the time to make it, I was searching and searching before I found your video. Calibrite should link to this video on their website!

14:27 Despite your "low" delta E validation values, the colors of some of the validation circle splits are obviously quite different.
Doesn't this beg the question whether an acceptable delta E should be much lower?

Software is still limited with only on the fly readings only, 'display cal' can do up to 5 passes on the gray scale readings alone, I recommend setting up the white balance with the hcfr software then finish the rest with display cal

That's a great looking, and highly functional, UI.

Great review. Looks a lot better than their current rebranded xrite software.

What up Art... Thanks for the information and video

Great video, Art! Loving the display! It looks really cool in the video!

As to the calibrite software, I tried it and this is just a fresh coat of paint written in React on the same old software, running on Intel and Rosetta. But the old app was so horrific I bought the upgrade!

Art, could you explain why I cannot get my monitors to match the whitepoint exactly, despite the fact that they calibrate to average deltaE < 1?
I have a phosphor one that is warmer than the other two, which are white LED - more on the blueish side.
The readings of the white point are super close to D65, the displays should be identical...

Great info! I just used this software to calibrate my BenQ PD2700U with a new DisplaySL colorimeter. After about 2-3 years it seemed my monitor shifted from the factory calibration just slightly and this was fairly easy process for a relative newbie. Anyway, I've caught your other calibration videos and was wondering if you think it is worth doing another calibration in Davinci Resolve if grading and editing in DR. There are a handful of YT videos on doing this but they are all over the place in terms of settings. I don't have a separate reference monitor so I use the BenQ PD2700 set up in Rec 709, which is on Gamma 2.4 according the the Display Pilot settings info. If you use Davinci Resolve and recommend a calibration - would love to see a tutorial!

Great video (as usual). Very helpful. I just did the upgrade and calibration and everything seemed to go just fine but I had one small question. Before, there was a CC System Tray notification in the Menu Bar that showed green until time to recalibrate, then it turned red. Now, although I checked to be reminded in 4 weeks, there is no reminder that I can see. How do I know when it is time to recalibrate? Did I miss something? (MacBook M1 running Sonoma btw). Thanks!

How do you know what is your display's technology type? I have a Macbook Pro 16" 2019 and I can't find any information on this. I also have an old Apple 27" cinema display (which I need to replace, what do you recommend for photography editing?) Thanks

[majeku]

Thank you very much. That was helpful!

Is there any support for the x-rite i1pro2 spectrophotometer?

[JoshCravesTech]

Hey there, I review laptop panels and currently use SpyderX because in their software I can get an analysis of the display’s brightness in nits at different levels (0%, 25%, etc.) and it also gives me a readout of the display’s coverage of different gamut’s like DCI-P3 as a percentage. Is there any way to do that with this software? I have a Display Pro Plus as well but can’t seem to find anything like that.

Hi Art, I have updated my I1 display pro to the Color Checker Display Pro so that I can use Calibrite Profiler. I run a M1 MacBook Pro which I tried to calibrate with that software. I successfully created a photography profile and also a second print profile. My problem now is that I need to go back into the Calibrite software to swap the profiles and the second problem is that the color temperature changes but not the brightness. I wished that either X-Rite or Calibrite supports their software with proper instructions. Have you or any of your subscribers worked out a way yet to use the software on M1 or M2 MacBook Pros?

[Ajajambo]

Hi there, how come grey scale and gamma were skipped? Does the Calibrate plus HL work with Calman for Panasonic. I don’t have a pattern generator hence why I am stuck with Calman as it’s generated pattern on my Panasonic OLED.

[mingepotato]

It has been a while since I have used my i1 Display Pro and I was keen to try this. However, it is asking me to pay to 'upgrade' my device. Considering this software is beta, I am concerned that if I upgrade, I will end up locked into having to spend £££'s on new software after the beta expires.

very useful video...thank you. now my monitor is calibrated correctly.

I wish Calibrite software had calibration LUT creation capability.
It seems like all of the calibration software options in the market are only capable of doing half a full calibration. And while it is nice that there are some minor calibration workflow enhancements in the Calibrite profiler software, most are simply a reorganisation of the interface, not an advancement.
What I had hoped for when first I saw the title of your video was that this Calibrite software provided a means of generating a calibration profile for the Calibrite hardware itself to deal with measurement tool drift, and the way the tool interacts with different display panel characteristics.
If Calibrite provided a factory certification hardware profile one could add to proper calibration software. At least initially (before drift) one could create an accurate calibration for professional use without first calibrating the calibration tool with an even more expensive photo spectrometer.

But still Calibrite remains unsuited to video editing for broadcast standards, except at the most primitive hobbyist level. :-((

96 patches for validation is pretty cool! Average deltaE 0.4, not too bad!
