Happily basiCColor now includes a very useful profile validator which gives a pretty good indication if you are on the wrong track. Otherwise you could get sent the wrong way.
I heartily recommend running them until you get two or three in a row that match one another nearly exactly.
Moreover making color profiles is like asking for direction. Speed is important as it usually takes a fair number to get exactly what you want. A single profile takes less than 5 minutes. It even comes with a bunch of useful presets for completely new users (Notebook, Office, Photography, PrePress, Video and Web Design). You set a few parameters and you are off to the races. I found them a little weaker on shadow detail and darks.īasiCColor display is a much easier user experience. Amazingly enough the profiles are still quite good.

State of the art, for a long time, 2.5.4 has dated badly in terms of profile speed (think ten to fifteen minutes to generate a single profile, with quite a bit of manual intervention).
#BASICCOLOR DISPLAY SQUID3 TEST SOFTWARE#
The software package which came with the basiCColor squid was basiCColor Display 2.5.4 originally written by Integrated Color Solutions (no relation to the cleverly named pretenders above) who sold the software and trademarks to German company basiCColor three years ago. The hardware I was using was the basicCColor Squid, an early high-end device which went mid-market a few years ago and has now been superceded by other which allow you to measure ambient lighting when making the profile. I was unable to produce a useable profile on my Apple Cinema Display (somewhere along the line at least one colour was turned into an opposite). While the web presentation is very good, the software itself is more or less junk. One of the software packages which is readily available for multiple hardware devices is Integrated Color Corporation’s ColorEyes 3.2. Most software works with only one or two hardware devices.
