Adjusting the monitor displayAlthough the RGB color model used by computer monitors is capable of displaying much of the visible spectrum, the video system sending data to a given monitor often limits how many colors can be displayed at once. By understanding how color data is measured in digital files and on-screen, you can better adjust color display settings to offset the limitations of your video system. For critical work, your monitor should be calibrated and characterized for use in a color management system. At the very least, your monitor should be calibrated to display colors as accurately as possible. For more information on calibrating your monitor and creating a display profile, see Calibrating and creating a profile of your monitor. Related Subtopics: |
