If you would like to support the development of, technical assistance with, and continued availability of DisplayCAL and ArgyllCMS, please consider a financial contribution. As DisplayCAL wouldn't be useful without ArgyllCMS, all contributions received for DisplayCAL will be split between both projects. For light personal non-commercial use, a one-time contribution may be appropriate. If you're using DisplayCAL professionally, an annual or monthly contribution would make a great deal of difference in ensuring that both projects continue to be available. If you have decided to contribute (many thanks!), but you'd like to give to ArgyllCMS directly on your own behalf (visit argyllcms.com and scroll down a bit to get to its contribution links), please leave a message on your DisplayCAL contribution if contributing to both projects. Please note that if your contribution should be put towards adding a certain feature in ArgyllCMS, like support for a specific instrument, it will be more appropriate and efficient to contribute to ArgyllCMS only , and directly.

At its core it relies on ArgyllCMS , an advanced open source color management system, to take measurements, create calibrations and profiles, and for a variety of other advanced color related tasks. Calibrate and characterize your display devices using one of many supported measurement instruments , with support for multi-display setups and a variety of available options for advanced users, such as verification and reporting functionality to evaluate ICC profiles and display devices, creating video 3D LUTs, as well as optional CIECAM02 gamut mapping to take into account varying viewing conditions. Other features include: Support of colorimeter corrections for different display device types to increase the absolute accuracy of colorimeters. Corrections can be imported from vendor software or created from measurements if a spectrometer is available. Check display device uniformity via measurements. Test chart editor: Create charts with any amount and composition of color patches, easy copy & paste from CGATS, CSV files (only tab-delimited) and spreadsheet applications, for profile verification and evaluation. Create synthetic ICC profiles with custom primaries, white- and blackpoint as well as tone response for use as working spaces or source profiles in device linking (3D LUT) transforms. DisplayCAL is developed and maintained by Florian Höch , and would not be possible without ArgyllCMS , which is developed and maintained by Graeme W. Gill.

DisplayCAL is written in Python and uses the 3rd-party packages NumPy , wxPython ( GUI [4] toolkit), Certifi , PyGObject or dbus-python for Linux (required for Wayland support with colord), as well as Python extensions for Windows , comtypes and the Python WMI module to provide Windows-specific functionality. Other minor dependencies include faulthandler , psutil , PyChromecast and pyglet (macOS/Windows) or libSDL2 (Linux). It makes extensive use of and depends on functionality provided by ArgyllCMS . The build system to create standalone executables additionally uses py2app on Mac OS X or py2exe on Windows. All of these software packages are © by their respective authors.

Also there are several distributions out there that are based on one in the above list (e.g. Linux Mint which is based on Ubuntu). This means that packages for that base distribution should also work on derivatives, you just need to know which version the derivative is based upon and pick your download accordingly. In all other cases, you can try this universal install that should work on a multitude of distributions: For Mac OS X (10.6 or newer) Installer Package If you want to verify the integrity of the downloaded file, compare its SHA-256 checksum to that of the respective entry in the SHA-256 checksum list .
