2-9 Calibration Function
The ColorEdge series monitors are adjusted one by one at each color value (0to 255) for each of RGB color components in the factory. Usually it is notnecessary, but use this function only when colors start to deteriorate as themonitor is used for an extended period of time.
As time elapses, the monitor screen is gradually getting dark and the colors change.
The calibration function of Quick Color Match corrects monitor deterioration over time.
An internal sensor built-in model or an external sensor (a measurement device) is required to use
the calibration function, Refer to “Operating Environment for Quick Color Match” on page 116 forcompatible measurement devices.
If you use an external sensor (a measurement device), connect the USB cableto the device in advance.
To restore the state of the monitor deterioration before it was corrected (before
you used the calibration function), delete the calibration data by referring to “Todelete calibration data” on page 83.

4-1 What is Color Matching?
The colors of photo data displayed on a monitor may appear differently when the data is printed.
This phenomenon is caused by the different color reproduction procedures between the monitor
and printer. Color matching is a technique used to match the appearance of colors between
different devices such as monitor and printer.

Impact by ambient light

To match the appearance between the monitor and printer, you must also consider ambient
light, for the appearance of printed colors are significantly affected by ambient light.
It is important to use lighting that is suitable for the color matching process to determine printed
colors correctly.
The reference color temperature for checking printed matters is defined as 5000 K (Kelvin) inprinting industry. 5000 K is a value close to daytime solar light.

112

4 ﻿Reference

4-2 Functions of Retouching Software
See Also”4-1 What is Color Matching?” on page 112

The reproducible gamut of a monitor is different from that of printer. A photo that appears vivid on
the monitor may look muddy when it is printed. To resolve this difference, a retouching software
supporting color management program is required.
Quick Color Match is compatible with Photoshop, a retouching software program endorsed
worldwide.
Photoshop displays images correctly by reading from the operating system that colors the
ColorEdge monitor displays.
Photoshop enables you to simulate the print results on the monitor by using proof settings. For
example, before printing an image with a color of high saturation, you can check on the monitor
how far the saturation level will be reduced when the image is printed, and thereby adjust the level.

PSD

Correct color management ofimages by using Photoshop

Simple and collective settings

In addition to setting the monitor to an optimized state, Quick Color Match can collectively configure
the Photoshop and printer settings required for color matching.
Collaboration between Quick Color Match and Photoshop provides you with an environment
whereby you can enjoy color matching easily and comfortably.
Why not take this opportunity to use Photoshop?
The “Creative Cloud Photography plan” is recommended to enable you to use Photoshop andLightroom.

4-3 Calibration of the Monitor
As time elapses, the monitor screen is gradually getting dark and the colors change.
Consequently, if you keep using the monitor in this state, it will not be able to display colors
correctly.
In order to maintain correct and stable color reproduction, it is recommended that you calibrate themonitor approximately once a year by using an external sensor (a measurement device).

Deterioration over time

Calibration

For information on how to calibrate the monitor, refer to “2-9 Calibration Function” on page 80.
No external sensor is required for ColorEdge CG series.
These monitors are equipped with a function capable of calibrating them
automatically with the built-in calibration sensor. The auto calibration function of
the monitors is enabled by default.

5 Glossary﻿Glossary

RAW data and RAW development
RAW data is one of the formats used for saving photos taken with digital single-lens reflex orother cameras. RAW data, i.e., "unprocessed" data is data that is saved as it is without any
modification. The hue and other factors of original photos are not processed by the camera.
Unlike data in JPEG format, RAW data retains all information of original photos.
As the formats of recorded RAW data differ depending on the manufacturer, you cannot display
the unprocessed photo data on any monitor. It must be converted into a general file format byusing dedicated software for the camera used to take the photos. The process of conversion
into a general file format is called "RAW development".

Color Temperature and White Point
Color temperature is a value representing "the color of light" in K (Kelvin). The lower the color
temperature is, the more reddish the white color becomes. On the other hand, the higher thetemperature is, the more bluish the white color becomes. The color temperature of daytime solar
light is said to be a value between 5000 K and 5500 K.
White point represents the setting of color temperature for white color to be displayed on themonitor. Accordingly, the white point is also shown in K (Kelvin), the unit of color temperature.

Brightness
Brightness means the brightness level of the screen. The value is shown in cd/m2 (candelas per
square meter).

Color Gamut and Color SpaceIn the range of colors that human eyes can recognize (visible range), color gamut further defines
a particular color range. The reproducible color ranges vary depending on the device. For
example, the color gamut of a monitor indicates the range of colors that the monitor can
reproduce and represent.
Color space is the standardized particular color gamut. Typical standards of color space aresRGB and Adobe® RGB.

Standard Light Source D50
Standard light source means the source of artificial light defined by CIE (International
Commission on Illumination).
It has been defined as standard illuminating light used for displaying colors of the CIE color
spaces.
The "standard light source D50", whose color temperature is approximately 5000 K, isequivalent to the color of daytime solar light, This light source is used to evaluate the uniformity
and quality of colors in printing.
