Characterization determines the gamma response of the calibrated monitor and tracks monitor primary colors. You should perform a characterization after each calibration.

The system uses the .chr file written during characterization to create a LUT that can be exported to any supported imaging products.

From the Characterize drop-down menu on the main window, choose either Automatic Characterization or Manual Characterization Assistant.

Use Automatic Characterization if you performed automatic calibration or for devices such as LCD or CRT displays that were NOT auto calibrated.

Use the Manual Characterization Assistant, if you performed a manual calibration for an HD/SD display or digital projector.

Automatic Characterization

NOTE

If you successfully completed an automatic calibration, characterization will automatically run. In this case, proceed to “Viewing and Customizing Looks” on page 49.

To automatically characterize your monitor:

1.From the Characterize drop-down menu, click Automatic Characterization.
