Figure 1.24 You may need to zoom in to position the colored dots accurately.

Select 6500 K only from the drop-down to identify the color temperature of the

table you will create. Click the Create Color Table button, and you will be brought

back to the Color Tables tab with all the patch colors mapped onto the Color Wheel.

The table is created (Figure 1.25). If the test was shot correctly and you chose the

appropriate exposure, there will be no problems. If, however, the white patch is too

bright (clipped), the program will throw up a warning and you’ll have to pick another

bracket or reshoot.

Figure 1.25 After creating the table, you will receive a conrmation, and the Color Tables tab will open with the values fully

populated.
