  • Choose Displays (in the Hardware row)

System Preferences - Mac

  • Next click the Color tab

Display Preferences — Mac

Display Calibrator Assistant

  • You will see a list of Display Profiles (once you have created profiles you can switch between them here)

  • Click the Calibrate… button on the lower right

  • You will be taken through the process step-by-step. Expect it to take a few minutes as you fine-tune the settings.


Mac Calibration

  • In the final step you will be asked to name your new monitor profile. It is helpful to name your profile to remind you of the lighting environment in which it was created (time of day, location, etc) so that you can later easily switch profiles to suit your viewing environment.
