Verifying monitor brightness, gamma, and color
Making adjustments to your images on screen works best with a monitor that displays color consistently.
Over time the characteristics of your monitor change, so check your monitor’s performance periodically.
Consult your monitor documentation and perform calibration adjustments as recommended by the
manufacturer.
You can then verify monitor output from within SIGMA Photo Pro by selecting
Tools > Monitor
Verification…
from the Main Window
.
The charts in this dialog box are for verification of color neutrality and gamma only. Use your monitor’s
adjustment controls as specified in the manufacturer’s documentation to make any adjustments.
Using a pre-existing
monitor profile
SIGMA Photo Pro supports
monitor profiles. For
information regarding monitor
profiles, consult the
documentation for your
monitor, after-market profiling
software, or operating system.
Choosing the best monitor
resolution for your screen
size
SIGMA Photo Pro is designed
to fit on a monitor with a screen
resolution of 800x600, however
the viewable area for images
and thumbnails is not
maximized at this small screen
size. A screen resolution of
1024x768 or greater offers the
most flexibility for viewing and
processing images. You can
then resize the Main or Review
Windows, resize the Thumbnail
Pane within the Main Window,
or move the windows anywhere
on the desktop.
