Gamma Value Settings
[ ] You can also set up the gamma curve by directly entering the gamma value (0.01- 10.00). Use this method when you cannot adjust the gamma value with the menu (p. 46).
Hint
• You cannot use this feature with a Black & White (Line), color or high definition color file that has been set with ColorSync.

Sending Output to a Printer
The gamma value does not have to be adjusted for output to a color printer because the printer driver settings are set to match the display, and matching the gamma setting of the display does not present a problem. Similarly, the gamma setting does not have to be done for a monochrome printer.
For fine adjustment, view the image on the display to view the results of your output.
Hint
• If you do not know the gamma setting of your display, refer to the manual provided with purchase of the display. If you do not find the gamma value in the manual, or if the manual is not available, contact the manufacturer of your display.
