new Target has been created, the display must be Calibrated to it. It is possible to share Target files with other
users of SpectraView on both Windows and Mac OS platforms.
White Point
Gamma Curve
Gamma Curve selects the desired tone response curve of the calibrated display. Options are:
Monitor Native Gamma - No correction is applied and the display's Look Up Tables are set to linear.
•
Gamma Curve Value - The response curve will follow a simple gamma curve. Values between 1.0
•
and 3.0 can be entered. A gamma value of 2.2 is the most popular for most applications.
DICOM Curve - The response curve follows the DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in
•
Medicine) specification. This response curve is aimed at medical use, however it can be used for other
applications. The goal of the DICOM response curve is to have a visually linear display response.
White Point selects the Target white point for the calibration.
Several popular industry standard White Point values, such as
D50 and D65, are provided.
A Native option is available that can be used to leave the White
Point at the display's native characteristic white point. This is
useful when the maximum possible luminance is desired but
the white point is not critical.
A custom white point can be specified by clicking the Edit...
button to open up the Custom Color Temperature dialog.
