Gradation Tool

Sometimes you need to perform tone corrections when printing a job. These changes in gradation can include brightness, contrast, and color balance adjustments throughout the tone range of an entire image, or in specific tone ranges.

Gradation tables you create using the Gradation tool are added to the gradations list in the Color tab, and may be applied to print jobs. The Spire CX250 color server also enables you to visually check the effect of different gradation adjustments on RTP jobs prior to printing.

With the Spire CX250 color server Gradation tool, you can apply the default gradation table or another pre-configured gradation table to a job. You can also edit an existing table and save your changes. Gradation is an interactive function and changes are automatically applied to the displayed image.

Note: You can edit an existing gradation table, but you can not overwrite the default gradation table, DefaultGradTable.

The Gradation tool is used to create and edit gradation tables and to check the effect of different gradation adjustments on specific RTP jobs. These tables can then be applied to your jobs during job processing for tailored gradations.

To open the Gradation tool:

¾From the Tools menu, select Gradation.
