This project is intended to modernize the DisplayCAL code including Python 3 support.
Calibrate and characterize your display devices using one of many supported measurement instruments, with support for multi-display setups and a variety of available options for advanced users, such as verification and reporting functionality to evaluate ICC profiles and display devices, creating video 3D LUTs, as well as optional CIECAM02 gamut mapping to take into account varying viewing conditions.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Calibration + Characterization (Profiling).
- Installing the created ICC profile both locally and system-wide (requires root permissions).
- Profile Info window is now fully working.
- Measurement report creation.
- Creating, displaying and uploading Colorimeter Corrections.
- Measuring and reporting display uniformity.
- Creating charts with Test Chart Editor and creating diagnostic 3d data.
- Creating 3D LUTs.
- Creating synthetic ICC profiles.
