Correcting the Gamma Value Individual monitors reproduce colors in characteristic ways that are summarized by their 'gamma values.' The gamma values of most monitors fall within a range of 1.4 to 2.2, which reproduces colors slightly darker than the original. To faithfully reproduce the original colors, it is necessary to compensate for your monitor's gamma value with the FilmGet FAU setting. The program generally adjusts the monitor's gamma value to 1.8, but if your monitor does not operate at this value, you will need to adjust it. The gamma value will automatically be set when a color matching system is active. • NOTE • • The gamma value for the monitor is set automatically when the Use Color Matching option is set to on in the Preferences settings. Turn it on or off by clicking the [Settings] menu, selecting [Preferences] and clicking the [Use ColorMatching] option. • Please read the documents shipped with your monitor or contact the manufacturer's customer service department to obtain the correct gamma value for your particular model. 82 FilmGet FAU User's Guide

Correcting the Gamma Value
Individual monitors reproduce colors in characteristic ways that are
summarized by their ‘gamma values.’ The gamma values of most
monitors fall within a range of 1.4 to 2.2, which reproduces colors
slightly darker than the original. To faithfully reproduce the original
colors, it is necessary to compensate for your monitor’s gamma value
with the FilmGet FAU setting. The program generally adjusts the
monitor’s gamma value to 1.8, but if your monitor does not operate
at this value, you will need to adjust it.
The gamma value will automatically be set when a color matching
system is active.
•
NOTE
•
• The gamma value for the monitor is set automatically when
the Use Color Matching option is set to on in the Preferences
settings. Turn it on or off by clicking the [Settings] menu,
selecting [Preferences] and clicking the [Use ColorMatching]
option.
• Please read the documents shipped with your monitor or
contact the manufacturer’s customer service department to
obtain the correct gamma value for your particular model.
