[Leica] OT Mac Display calibration

[Doug Herr]

After using eyeball calibration on my Mac computers for several years I bought a puck because I suspected I'd been fooling myself by thinking eyeball was good enough.  After puck calibration there was no difference.  Either eyeball calibration is good enough for what I do, or my eyes are so bad that I can't tell the difference.  YMMV.

>> Color calibration for the Mac is built into the OS. You start by opening 
>> the System Preferences icon (the one with the gear) and then open the 
>> Display icon. When that opens, choose Color. At that point several LCD 
>> calibrations show up. Start by selecting the one labelled Calibrate and 
>> follow the instructions. You can change display temperature, brightness, 
>> etc. and save the results as a new LCD calibration. By using the System 
>> Preferences you can flip back and forth between the various calibrations.
