LaCie blue eye pro Introduction

User Manual page 5

Thank you for purchasing LaCie blue eye pro, LaCie’s profes-

sional color management solution. The LaCie blue eye pro colo-

rimeter and LaCie blue eye pro software are a fast, precise, and

easy-to-use color management tool that will automatically cali-

brate your monitor and build the corresponding ICC proﬁle.

This proﬁle provides a description of the monitor’s individual

color characteristics, which helps imaging and page design soft-

ware such as Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, Indesign, Illustrator,

Apple Aperture, and QuarkXPress, to display accurate colors.

Thanks to LaCie blue eye pro, Graphics Pros working in color-

managed environments are able to adjust every monitor in their

workﬂow, allowing them to perform image softprooﬁng and edit-

ing in total conﬁdence.

Throughout this User Manual, several ref-

erences are made to UGRA, the Swiss Cen-

ter of Competence for Media and Printing

Technology. Well known for its Mediawedge®, a standardised

control strip that is used for contract prooﬁng control, UGRA has

extended this test to Monitor evaluation. For the ﬁrst time, the

Proof Edition of LaCie blue eye pro embeds UGRA’s test ap-

proach and criteria, and makes it possible to certify a worksta-

tion for softprooﬁng. To take advantage of this certiﬁcation, se-

lect “UDACT” when using LaCie blue eye pro’s Test and Report

feature (please refer to section 5.3. for detailed instructions).

3. Color Management

The digital age has brought about many important gains for

color-conscious professionals, whether they work in ﬁelds such

as graphic design, pre-press, video or digital photography. With

these improvements, however, new challenges arose.

One of those issues confronting professionals is the variability of

the reproduction of color from one monitor to another.

Every monitor has its own color characteristics. In order to ef-

fectively deal with this variability in monitor “personalities,” it’s

important to have a means of controlling, or managing, this

difference. The most effective color management solution for

monitors involves using a piece of hardware (the LaCie blue eye

Colorimeter) and software (LaCie blue eye pro PE) to adjust and

control the color among different monitors.

To implement color management, it is essential to properly cali-

brate and create custom, individual proﬁles for all your monitors.

Once a monitor has been calibrated and a proﬁle has been cre-

ated, the proﬁle then communicates with the operating system

and the application software to ensure that images are displayed

accurately.

This section will help to explain how color is created and how

LaCie blue eye pro utilizes calibration and proﬁles to help you

implement your color management solution.

3.1. Basic Issues With Monitor

Color Rendering

Human perception of color is the result of the addition by our

brain of the stimuli received from three types of nerve cells locat-

ed in our eyes that are sensitive to the red, green and blue areas

of the color spectrum. This is why the method used in a computer

monitor to reproduce color is for each pixel to be composed of

three dots that respectively emit red, green and blue light.

The Three Primaries – Red, Green And Blue

The intensity of the light emitted by the red, green and blue dot

in each pixel is set as a function of three values commonly called

R,G and B. The R, G and B of a given pixel can be set as any

integer value from 0 to 255.

✦A pixel set to R=255, G=255, B=0 has its red and green

dots emitting at maximum intensity and the blue dot not

emitting at all. The result is an intense yellow.

✦A pixel set to R=128, G=128, B=128 has its three dots

emitting red, green and blue lights at a medium intensity.

1 pixel = 1 red dot + 1 green dot + 1 blue dot

RGB Values Are Device-Dependent

As we noted earlier, every monitor has its own individual settings

for reproducing the RGB, because monitor manufacturers make

very different choices as to the components that are used in their

monitors. This leads to very strong differences between the color

produced by any given RGB settings on separate monitors. Be-

sides the different components, there are also several reasons for

this variation. On a TFT, for instance, here are some of the most

important factors that come into consideration:

✦The color ﬁlters used to create the dots of each pixel

✦The nature of the backlights

✦The light transmittance characteristics of the liquid crystal

technology used in the display

✦The brightness, contrast and other settings used on the

monitor

✦The age of the monitor

With this in mind, moving back to our example about the RGB

setting to produce blue. We know that we’re getting the color

blue, but is the color of blue being displayed accurately? One

particular monitor could display the blue as akin to sky blue, an-

other as Navy Blue, and another as another shade of blue. And

this is the case for all colors, not just blue. Because the color that

is actually produced by a given RGB setting is not necessarily the

same from one monitor to another, color scientists say that RGB

values are device-dependent.

The Consequences Of Device Dependency

The direct consequence of this is that a given image (for instance

a digital photograph) will not necessarily appear the same on

two separate monitors. One may often observe color shifts, loss

of contrast or loss of detail.

As a result, considerable inefﬁciencies can appear in professional

workﬂows. When receiving a picture from its photographer, the

news agency may have the impression that some color correc-

tion needs to be performed on the photograph, even though it

may already have been done by the photographer before send-

ing the picture to the agency.

The same problem can occur when a printer receives digital art

included in their customer’s document. The colors displayed on

the printer’s monitor may not be identical to the ones displayed

at the customer site.

3.2. Monitor Calibration And

Device Proﬁles

The LaCie blue eye pro implements a convenient solution to

these problems. It entails two steps:

Step 1: The monitor is set to a calibrated state that is described

in terms of its Brightness, Gamma and White Point Tempera-

ture. This allows the color-conscious professional to knowingly

choose the range of colors that will be displayed on the monitor;

and in particular to be certain that the colors displayed on the

monitor correspond to a standard environment.

Step 2: An ICC (International Color Consortium) monitor proﬁle

is created and systematically embedded in the artwork produced

from the professional’s workstation. The ICC proﬁle acts as a

translator between RGB values and absolute colorimetric mea-

surements that are expressed in a scientiﬁc color model such as

CIELAB or Yxy.

By taking into account the translation mechanisms contained in

the ICC proﬁle, another computer monitor (or any other device,

such as a printer, for example) can reproduce the exact same

absolute colors even though its components, settings and aging

may be signiﬁcantly different. The beneﬁt is that both profession-

als see the same colors, and that there is no color shift across

the workﬂow.
