Oh god I think the problem is fixed!
I overlooked something in the Nvidia slider settings. For some reason I had selected "Blue" in the Color Channel drop down menu, and when I clicked through the different options (blue, red, green, all channels) some (or one) of them has the gamma turned up. 😅...
Hey thanks for the answer, it's highly appreciated!
I tried "dispwin -c", and absolutely nothing happened :/
It's very very strange, because I have not done any tinkering with any program other than argyllcms, dispwin, dispcal.
Anyway thanks for the suggestion :)
TLDR: Is it possible that some custom Lut is loaded on startup even though I have not set it to do so?
Decided to try it again after just using the gamma slider for a year 😅
And for some magical reason, I got it working!
No idea what I did different this time though, unfortunately.
But now I...
After following the "disable secure boot" guide to see if that helps, I get "The folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with Windows for x64-based systems." Which is weird, because I...
If I uninstall the drivers of this HID (which I think is the i1d3), the same drivers automatically gets installed next time I plug it in. And if I try to update the driver manually Windows says that Windows has determined that the best driver sfor this device is already installed.
Ok so I spoke too early as always. I was able to distinguish the i1d3 from the other HID elements by looking under the "Events" tab and see which matched the timestamp of when I connected it. I am still, however, at a total loss of what I'm doing wrong.
The guide says that the id31 don't need...
Yeah I think I have definitively messed something up when installing the drivers. Following the guide in your link, I can't seem to find the i1d3 in Device Manager, which is sort of strange, because I think I remember seeing it there before. Anyway, the only thing in the list that change when I...
The process completes in about 5 seconds (more or less). There are a couple of white LED flashes from the i1d3, but that's it. And there is no message at all :/
Just for reference:
Upper row: three HCFR Gray Scale Measures with raw gamma.
Lower row: three HCFR Gray Scale Measures with nvidia slider to my preference.
So it's:
dispcal -m -qm -J -F -G2.4 -f0 mylutname
and then:
dispwin mylutname.cal
I still get the "Dispwin Error: Can't open file 'mylutname.cal"
And the first process still completes in a matter of seconds.
Ohhh! Thank you! :)
And pardon me for asking questions left and right without reading through the thread myself first. Bad old habit of mine.
I noticed your comment to one of the other people here about black levels being 0.1, and could be lower. I see now that my black levels are actually 0.000...
I did the
dispcal -m -qm -J -F -v3 -g2.4 -f1 -k0 -A16 mylutname
command, but the process only took a couple of seconds, which leads me to think that I have done something wrong. Since you say that it should take some time, maybe an hour or two.
When I then did dispwin mylutname.cal I get the...
I just launched a HCFR session like in the WPB guide, but with my windows 10 computer (which is the GDM-FW900 computer). Just to see if it *seems* like HCFR communicating with meter. And it does! It seems like it does! So there has to something I have overlooked otherwise!
