RYSTAR EFERENCE MANUAL
Density response of Drystar media
Different densitometers can give different results for measuring the same
density area on a Drystar film. This is due to spectral response differences
between the densitometers.
The density values used in this manual are based on the Macbeth TR924
densitometer. Values measured with another densitometer can vary from
these values.
It's possible to change the default densitometer. Refer to 'Changing general
image quality settings - Default densitometer' on page 91. You can also compare
the density values from different densitometers with each other. Refer to
'Drystar media density response data' on page 207.
Non-calibrated or badly calibrated densitometers can result in even larger
differences.
The user has a selection of common densitometers. All shown densities will
vary slightly according to the densitometer selection.
To give the user an idea of the differences between the most frequently used
densitometers, you can find the measurements for an SMPTE pattern on the
Drystar DT 2 B and Drystar DT 2 C films in Appendix B.
