Changing Screen Gamma
PowerColor’s Monitor Setup option in the Edit menu (see Figure 2–3) allows you
to specify the gamma values of your monitor, as well as the CMY-to-RGB tables
used by PowerColor Press to display the “blowback” of your CMYK output.
By default, PowerColor assumes a monitor gamma value of 1.8. If you have
changed your monitor’s gamma, enter the new gamma value in the Monitor
Setup window. PowerColor then adjusts its previews to look the same regardless of
any monitor gamma
(in the range of 0.2 to 5.0)
Note: PowerColor does not adjust the gamma
value of your monitor. It merely adjusts its pre-
views to look the same regardless of different
gamma settings.
You can choose between the PowerColor default blowback tables, or you can
select ColorSync and load your own monitor and output CMYK profile.
Note: PowerColor only uses ICC tables for the
monitor preview in Separator Mode.
