I1Profiler is the software engine designed to drive X-Rite’s i1 family of hardware devices, such as the i1Pro, i1Pro 2, and later, the i1Pro 3. It replaced the aging "i1Match" software, offering a more modern interface and greater flexibility. It allows users to calibrate monitors (both LCD and OLED), create custom printer profiles, and even handle camera profiling.
: Some users report that i1Profiler's internal LUT loader can cause banding issues on certain graphics cards, leading some advanced users to use 3.1.1 for patch generation but alternative engines like ArgyllCMS for the actual profile calculation.
On the i1Profiler 3.1.1 dashboard, click the icon. Choose "Advanced" mode (not "Easy").
