Select Target Values
Help Index
Usual Setting
Select
2.2-6500
to calibrate your display to Gamma 2.2 and White Point 6500K, the
most common choice. When calibrating projectors choose
2.2-Native.
The Purpose of This Step
This screen allows you to choose the values that you will use to calibrate your display.
The desired values are specified by selecting a Target from the popup menu. A Target
is a convenient way to collect all of the desired values together in a single setting with
a meaningful name.
The Long Answer
Target values are the desired values that you will use to calibrate your display.
Target values must include:
• White Point (the color of white on your display)
• Tone Response (often called Gamma)
The Target may optionally include:
• Black Luminance (how black your display’s blacks are)
• White Luminance (how bright your display’s whites are)
• Certification (to define this as a
SpyderCertified
TM
display)
Each selection in the
Target: popup is a set of these values. When you change the
menu selection, the individual values contained in the set are displayed on the right.
If there is not an existing Target that contains the values that you desire you may
create a new Target by clicking the
New
button. If you create a new Target, it will
remain
Untitled
unless you save it using the
Save Target As
command from the
File
menu.
