2. Developing/Correcting Images on the Monitor
Develop/correct images using image editing software to make them closer to what you want while
viewing the images on the monitor.
Preparation
It is recommended that you use a color-managed monitor.
Set the monitor as follows.
Color temperature: D50 (5000 K)
Luminance: 120 cd/m2
Gamma: 2.2
For ambient lighting, it is recommended that you use D50 fluorescent lamps designed for color
evaluation (color temperature: 5000 K, high color rendering properties).
Refer to "Lesson 2 Color Management
Tip
When the Values Above Cannot Be Set on the Monitor
Color tones will differ between the monitor and printed materials; print with no correction,
then apply correction while viewing the printed material.
Steps
The following describes the steps for developing RAW format data. Although some image editing
software may be able to correct even JPEG format data, the image quality will be lower than RAW
format data since JPEG format data is compressed. Therefore, applying correction may degrade
gradations and other elements.
1. Start the image editing software to be used.
2. Open the image you want to print.
Note
The settings of the image editing software will be applied to the image's color
