To check the color rendering in Photoshop, open the
supplied „Quato_SWOP_controlbar.tif“ image and
follow the instruction below:
Open the file: “Quato_SWOP_controlbar.tif” in Pho-
toshop and set the viewing size of the file to 200%.
Choose: Proof Setup from the View Menu in Pho-
toshop, then „Custom“. In the dialog, choose the
“Quato_SWOP_2006_0320.ICC” profile and make
sure that both „Preserve CMYK Numbers“ and „Si-
mulate Paper Color“ are selected. This will ensure
that you are properly viewing a SWOP proof in Photo-
shop.
Validate the Quato display by following the instruc-
tion in the SWOP validation tool. First measure the
white patch in the Quato application before moving
the iColor Window out of the center of the screen as
shown on the right side. Then move the proper patch
of the “Quato_SWOP_controlbar.tif” file in Photo-
shop to the center of the screen, and measure each
patch in the order instructed.

Gamut Viewer
The Gamut Viewer offers the ability to display up to
three ICC-Profiles in a*b* projection or slices through
the luminance levels.
The profile of the active calibration is always shown
on top of the three profiles. You can now open any
other ICC-compliant profile to evaluate the gamut
and rendering intent.
Comparing the monitor profile for example to ISO-
coated_v2 or Adobe-RGB illustrates the gamut match
between the display and the other color spaces.
To switch between the luminance levels and the pro-
jection mode, simply select/deselect „Projection“.
Make sure to follow the instructions for a SWOP certification.
If the system complies to the SWOP ADS, the logo will appear.
The gamut viewer supports two different modes.
