C HARACTERIZATION
Characterization determines the gamma response of the calibrated monitor
and tracks monitor primary colors. You should perform a characterization after
each calibration.
The system uses the .chr file written during characterization to create a
3D
LUT that can be exported to any supported imaging products.
From the Characterize drop-down menu on the main window, choose either
Automatic Characterization or Manual Characterization Assistant.
Use Automatic Characterization if you performed automatic calibration or for
devices such as LCD or CRT displays that were NOT auto calibrated.
Use the Manual Characterization Assistant, if you performed a manual
calibration for an HD/SD display or digital projector.
Automatic Characterization
NOTE
If you successfully completed an automatic calibration, characterization will
automatically run. In this case, proceed to “
Viewing and Customizing Looks” on
page 47.
To automatically characterize your monitor:
1. From the Characterize drop-down menu, click Automatic
Characterization.
