Viewing the Gamma Curves

The gamma curves consist of primary and master curves. If a color film type is
selected, the primary curves are Red, Green and Blue (RGB). If a black and white film
type is selected, the primary curve is Monochrome. In either case, a Master curve is pre-
sent. Gamma curves sent to the scanner always consist of primary and master curves.
Each of the Red, Green and Blue gamma curves is unique. The Master curve pro-
vides a simple means of adjusting all of the primary curves equally. Thus, you do not
have to adjust each primary curve individually, as illustrated in Figure 16.11.

Figure 16.11 The resulting gamma curves sent to the scanner are a combination of the
primary (red/cyan, green/magenta, blue/yellow) gamma curves and the Master curve.
