Apple Color 1.5 - Manual (Page 149)

The equipment and methods with which you monitor your work are critical to producing
an accurate result.
The importance of proper monitoring for color correction cannot be overemphasized.
This chapter covers the monitoring options available in Color, including the configuration
of the Scopes window, options for broadcast video output, the generation and use of
LUTs for calibration and simulation, and how the Still Store is output to video for
monitoring and evaluation.
This chapter covers the following:
• The Scopes Window and Preview Display (p. 149)
• Monitoring Broadcast Video Output (p. 151)
• Using Display LUTs (p. 153)
• Monitoring the Still Store (p. 159)
The Scopes Window and Preview Display
The simplest way to monitor your work in Color is with the Scopes window. This is the
second of the two windows that comprise the Color interface. You can configure Color
to use one or two displays.
Using two displays, the Scopes window is viewed on the second one, occupying its own
display. Using one display, the Scopes window shares the screen with the Color window.
