You can choose between a ‘basic’, wizard-driven interface; or an ‘advanced’, user-driven interface to create high quality, precise, custom color profiles for monitors and projectors.

i1Profiler unique capabilities include:

• Create highest quality professional color profiles for monitors and projectors
• Optimize profiles based on ambient light
• Quality assurance for soft proofing on monitors and verifying output quality on printers

i1Profiler specific capabilities include:

Monitor

• Utilize presets for video production workflows
• Create profiles for any ambient light condition for optimal viewing of color critical work 
• Unlimited gamma, white point, and luminance settings (also measure other displays or light sources and use as targets)
