Using the Densitometer Monitor

Note:

The densitometer window is informational only. Values cannot be changed from the densitometer.

Red, Green, Blue

Values before adjustment

Values after adjustment

Shows pixel density before and after image adjustments

The EPSON Perfection 600 densitometer displays the density of an image—how many pixels are in a given area.

Densitometer readings are useful when you:

Adjust contrast

Change the tone curve

Balance color

Change resolution

The top row of the densitometer shows the red, green, and blue values of the original image. The values in the lower row show the values that result from changes you make.

The pixel display area reflects pixel density (and color saturation) at the exact point where the mouse pointer is positioned on the prescan image area. As you move the pointer to different positions on the image, you’ll see the values shift.
