images adjusted by you. p.24

Abs. Color Temp.

You can adjust the overall tint of images.

If you select a higher value, images appear bluish, and if you select a lower value, images appear reddish. The absolute colour temperature can be set to one of 12 settings within the range of 5000K to 10000K.

Adjusting flesh tones

This can be used to adjust the flesh tones for images of people.

The Epson Cinema Filter that is automatically applied to images depending on the "Color Mode" settings creates natural-looking flesh tones. If you would like to further enhance flesh tones, use this "Flesh Tone" setting to make the adjustment.

If you select a larger value, images appear greenish, and if you select a smaller value, images appear purplish.

The image brightness can be adjusted by adjusting the individual R (red), G (green) and B (blue) components of the dark areas (offset), bright areas (gain) and intermediate areas (gamma) respectively. Because such detailed adjustments are possible, images with greater depth can be obtained.
