- Author: David Pfeiffer
- Cost: Freeware, distribute as you like, but please include this file.
-
- System Requirements: Requires System 7 and Photoshop 2.0 or greater (It might
- actually work in System 6 although I have not tested it). You can use it in
- Quark also if you have the
-
- This Plug In Module (PIM) generates a calibration strip that can be used in the
- calibration of the "Transfer" function within "Page Setup" in Photoshop. It
- generates all the control points for the transfer curve; 0%, 5%, 10%, 20%, 30%,
- 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 95% and 100%. Each block is a 1/4" although you
- can scale the entire strip with the "Image Size" Dialog. The calibration strip
- is generated as a portrait, but you can rotate it as you need to.
-
- I use this strip to calibrate my system from the computer to the press. The 5%
- and 95% allow you to ensure that you didn't lose your highlight dots or that
- your shadow dots aren't plugged. The 50% point allow you to check the dot gain
- of the system.
-
- I've thought of adding a dot gain text field so that you could print a
- compensated calibration strip. This would also include highlight and shadow
- limits as well.
-
- Enjoy it, share it with your friends. I also have other products for sale
- including an automatic image enhancement product called Intellihance™ and
- Intellihint™. Intellihance examines a picture automatically and then applies
- tone curves, sharpening, despeckle and other filters to make the image look good
- to your eye on the screen or in print. It processes more consistant looking
- images, faster. -- Email me if your interested.
