Found a ColorSync Profile from MacInTouch for use with the new LED backlit MacBook Pros....

Improvements in color saturation. Never realized that my Safari buttons had a slight blue-ish tint before...

Go here: http://www.macintouch.com/reviews/mbp15led/colorcalib2.zip

Directions for use: Unzip and drag file into /Library/ColorSync/Profiles/Displays.

Open Preferences/Displays/Color and select the MacBook LCD Calibration 2 profile from the menu.

Shouldn't each display have their own color profile? Different lighting setup/surrounding will have different color curve, correct me if I'm wrong. Even by the screen itself might vary from each other. My eyes might see more blue hue & some might see more yellow hue for example. So it's very subjective and I against using profile calibrated by someone using different setup (even the machine are same model).

Thanks for sharing anyway.

Couldn't Agree More.
The generic is always the best.
Although u calibrate your machine on your side, but sometimes the result wouldn't be exactly the same. Why?
Because the proofing printer, offset printing machine, colour separating, flexo machine etc etc bla bla bla.... are not calibrate accordingly to your machine.

1 simple example is your 100% of cyan and the 100% cyan of the output machine would look different.
The Ink type, the paper, the pressure, the cylinder etc etc are all relate to each other. In order to get the accuracy of colour, one should calibrate both front end and back end machine together. U gotta make sure that 100% M is 100% M. Lot of big printing company are doing that already. They will just ignore what ever colour profile in your artwork (FA from agency or designer) and use theirs instead. This is because the density of each color from the source may have conflict with their profile. So most of them will save the hassle and just ignore it.

So, generic profile is the good enough actually. At least, for designer. They can save the hassle, time and money calibrate the machines.

Anyway, i can only speak from my experience. Itu pun for printing in dustry only. For Video or Animation. Sorry ler. Im still very green. Still in the process of learning.

Well, looks like we're on the different stand here.

One should always attached the color profile to their FA and allow the color saperator to adjust according to the profile, not using it to replace their default profiles, so they know the green I saw on the screen is the same green I send to them. Ignoring the original profile is just a gambling way for color accuracy. Some work the other way round, printers have their colo profile sent to the designers.

But most of the local design I've come accross doesn't practice this at all. Anyway, yes, it won't harm my machines, is just that I prefered my own calibrated profiles.
