Question

Creating an ICC profile for a hardware calibrated Asus PA32UCDM

Greetings,

I have used Lightroom Classic and Photoshop before that for a very long time.  So for years I used my i1Pro2 meter and i1Profiler software to calibrate and generate icc profiles for my windows PC’s. I hope this is the right place to post this question on the forums.    

Now I have a shiny new Asus OLED PA32UCDM ProArt monitor.  Although this is Calman factory calibrated, I am doing a “check” hardware calibration of this new monitor in wide gamut mode with a new meter and Calman software. It will write to the monitor LUT, however it does not generate an icc profile to install in windows.

From my recollection, since I am using the ProPhoto colorspace in Lightroom and Photoshop, it utilizes the icc profile to translate the colorspace requested to the current state and capabilities of the monitor.

After I do my hardware calibration the monitor will be very well calibrated.  But it will be running with the default installed icc that does not really know the current status of the calibrated monitor.  A thought I had was to run my old Xrite software and i1Pro2 meter and it will see an almost perfect monitor and will create an icc profile to reflect that state. However not sure how well that older meter will do with an OLED.  

Any thoughts or suggestions are most appreciated.

Thanks,
