Calibration Tools is a Windows application which manages your monitor calibration. It was created to provide more control over monitor calibration.
- Create and edit monitor calibration files: adjust backlight, white balance, overall gamma, shadow detail gamma, 10-band gamma, s-curve, highlights.
- Enforce separate day/night files with automatic dawn/dusk times and gradual transition during twilight.
- Test for calibration hijacking in games, and solve with ReShade or borderless full screen windowed mode.
- Enforce per-game calibration files.
- Enable dithering on Nvidia GPUs for smoother gradients.
- Portable, malware-free, ad-free, nag-free.
- 64-bit Windows, Vista or later.
- Logged in as a Windows administrator.
- Windows display scaling set to a multiple of 25.
- Video card supporting gamma tables for monitor calibration.
- DirectX June 2010 update (not included with Windows or subsequent DirectX updates).
- Windows 10 version 1903 (May 2019) contains bugs in its colour management system which affect Calibration Tools. For possible solutions, see here.
