Stepwedges for screen calibration

These step-wedges will assist you to set up the correct brightness and contrast of your monitor. I have made 2 sizes. Use the large one if your monitor is 1024px or larger.

There are 26 steps from pure white to pure black.

You should be able define each step, especially the first and last 2 steps.

This does not allow for colour cast but will at least assist in setting up the vibrance of the screen.

Re: Step-wedges for screen calibration

To use the above stepwedges, it is a simple matter of adjusting the brightness and contrast of your display.

Place the stepwedge in the centre of the screen. It is possible that some monitors fall off at the edges.

Continue to do the adjustments until can see a pure black and a pure white and still define the subtle differences of all the steps, especially the steps next to the pure black & white ones.

Although they are saved in a jpg format, no compression was used. If you copy the images save them in a lossless format. Do not save them as a .gif. If they are converted to a gif, the gradient will loose its smoothness.
