Optimized Display profiling – ColorMunki now offers the ability to optimize display luminance based on either ambient light measurements or user specified luminance values.
User-defined ambient light levels – allows users to see actual ambient light levels, giving detailed luminance value information to make any appropriate changes to the work environment before calibrating.
Precise control of display luminance – target and actual measured luminance values now displayed while adjusting display luminance, ensuring total accuracy of this function. ColorMunki 1.1 also offers the option for automatic video LUT adjustments, for more exacting control over luminance display levels.
Optimized display contrast and brightness (backlight) workflow – ColorMunki’s all-new automated contrast-clipping test provides a user-adjusted contrast option for an assured easier and faster workflow.
Greater flexibility in display profile naming – users also have the ability to change the display profile name before saving and applying a new profile, so they can easily identify profiles if they want to change or switch when adjusting for different ambient conditions and color temperatures.
