Your monitor should be calibrated to a standard neutral point to become part of an open loop color system, which is the open standard across the photographic and imaging industry. This means that it can show you how your images will look when printed or viewed on other monitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>What will I need to calibrate my monitor?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to calibrate your monitor you will require a device called a spectrophotometer which measures the color accuracy of your screen&#8217;s output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Video guide: Learn about calibrating your monitor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-block-embed-vimeo wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How to calibrate your screen\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/187808031?h=253d358ceb&amp;dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"643\" height=\"362\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2>Tip: Set your white point to the industry standard<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When calibrating your monitor, make sure you set your white point to the industry standard CIE illuminant D65 setting.
