ColorQuartet 5.0 Pro

RGB output calibration • Overview

• RGB output calibration lets you create an output profile for ColorQuartet that corresponds

exactly to your film recorder.

• By creating an RGB Proﬁle, you make a correction for the difference in the chromaticities of

the scanner and the specific output device, i.e., the exact ways in which each unit “sees” color,

due to its technical specifications.

• If you do not want to make this correction – for example, if the film recorder has a built-in cal-

ibration system of its own – choose the RGB profile supplied with ColorQuartet that corre-

sponds best to the gamma (G) value of the film recorder, and use it consistently. This will

ensure that the data sent to the output device always has the same profile.
