Gradation Tool
Sometimes it is necessary to perform tone corrections when printing a job.
These changes in gradation can include brightness, contrast and color
balance adjustments throughout the tone range of an entire image, or in
specific tone ranges.
Gradation tables you create using the Gradation tool are added to the
Gradations list in the
Color
tab and may be applied to print jobs. The Spire
CXP6000 color server also enables you to visually check the effect of
different gradation adjustments on RTP jobs prior to printing.
With Spire CXP6000 color server Gradation, you can apply the default
gradation table or another pre-configured gradation table to a job. You can
also edit an existing table and save your changes. Gradation is an
interactive function and changes are automatically applied to the displayed
image.
The Gradation Dialog Box
The Gradation dialog box is used to create and edit gradation tables and to
check the effect of different gradation adjustments on specific RTP jobs.
These tables can then be applied to your jobs during job processing for
tailored gradations.
To open the Gradation dialog box:
1.
From the
Tools
menu, select
Gradation .
Note: You can edit an existing gradation table, but you can not overwrite the
default gradation table, DefaultGradTable .
