== Calibrate and Profile Monitor for Use with digiKam == Transcribed from Dmitri Popov's blog, 22 January 2013‎

Edit

To calibrate a monitor and generate a color profile for it on Linux, you need two things: a colorimeter and color profiling software. High-quality professional colorimeters tend to be rather expensive, but you can use the excellent open source [http://www.hughski.com/ ColorHUG] device instead. When it comes to calibration and profiling, the [http://dispcalgui.hoech.net/ dispcalGUI] software is the perfect software for the job. It provides a graphical user interface to the display calibration and profiling tools of the [http://www.argyllcms.com/ Argyll CMS] open source color management system. The latter is available in the software repositories of most mainstream Linux distributions, so you can install it using your distro’s package manager. On Debian and Ubuntu-based distributions, this can be done by running the <code>apt-get install argyll</code> command as root. Grab then the packaged version of '''dispcalGUI''' from the project’s website and install it on your system. Connect '''ColorHUG''' (or any other supported colorimeter) to your machine and launch '''dispcalGUI'''.‎

Press the <menuchoice>Refresh</menuchoice> button to make '''dispcalGUI''' detect the connected colorimeter (it should appear in the <menuchoice>Instrument/Port</menuchoice> section). If you are using a multi-display setup, make sure that the correct monitor is selected in the <menuchoice>Display device</menuchoice> section. Select then <menuchoice>Photo</menuchoice> from the <menuchoice>Settings</menuchoice> drop-down list. Press then the <menuchoice>Calibrate & Profile</menuchoice> button and follow the instructions to calibrate the monitor and generate its color profile. Once the color profile has been generated, '''dispcalGUI''' prompts you to install the profile and enable it during boot.‎

Edit

Launch then '''digiKam''', choose <menuchoice>Settings -> Configure digiKam</menuchoice>, and switch to the <menucohice>Color Management</menuchoice> section. Click on the <menuchoice>Profiles</menuchoice> tab, select the generated profile from the <menuchoice>Monitor</menuchoice> profile drop-down list, and press <menuchoice>OK</menuchoice> to save the settings.‎
