Monitor setup
Each monitor is diffirent and the close environment also plays a great role in the way images are displayed and finally they influence the way you see them.
Although the RGB color model used by computer monitors is capable of displaying a large portion of the visible spectrum, phisical limitations of your video system often limit the total number of colors that can be displayed at one time. The correction that is required is mostly referred as factor gamma.
How to apply gamma correction in the monitor setup ?
- Open the Monitor Setup dialog box by clicking on Project > Preferences > Monitor Setup
- Than increase your distance from the monitor to about 3 feet, (1 m), to make the pattern in the 3 left-rectangles of each primary color square less apparent.
- Adjust each one of the 3 sliders until you get the right part of each square appear like is left counterpart. When done press OK and don't forget to save you preferences before exiting. To do that you must create a user profile in Preferences > User.
