6.2.2. Brightness Adjustment
The
Brightness Adjustment
window will assist you in placing
your monitor in the optimal range of brightness. When in this
range, two conditions are met:
✦
Full black and the darkest gray can be distinguished one
from the other. This insures there is no loss of detail in the
dark zones of your artwork.
✦
The darkest black remains black. This prevents any potential
loss of contrast.
1. In your monitor’s OSD, please choose the lowest possible
value for Brightness.
2. Place the colorimeter over the (dark) measurement area and
click
Start
.
3. You will now slowly increase the Brightness control in your
monitor’s OSD a few increments at a time.
While you do this, the colorimeter constantly measures the ac-
tual luminosity of the monitor and displays it with the slider. As
you increase the brightness of your monitor, the slider will move
to the right towards the green area. When it reaches the green
zone, a message will inform you the monitor is bright enough.
You may then click on the
Next
button to go to the
Contrast
Adjustment
window.
TECHNICAL NOTE:
If you cannot reach the green zone after
adjusting your monitor to its maximum brightness, move to the
next step,
6.2.3. Contrast Adjustment
, by clicking on the
Next
button.
CAUTION:
Do not modify your monitor’s brightness setting
after this stage. Doing so will force you to restart the calibration
and profiling process.
