The LaCie blue eye color-imeter and LaCie blue eye pro software deliver precisecolor control for monitors, allowing for calibration ofthe three red, green and blue gains of the monitor indi-vidually, and creating an ICC profile of the monitor.These profiles provide a description of the monitor’sindividual characteristics, measuring the gamma, whitepoint and luminance. Profiles created with a colorimeterand software, such as those created by the LaCie blueeye, are more accurate and help programs like AdobePhotoShop display images properly.Graphic professionals working in color-managedenvironments will be able to adjust every monitor intheir image chain, allowing them to evaluate imagesand perform real-time edits with assured accuracy. Aproperly calibrated and profiled monitor also allowsfor “soft-proofing,” because the image is verified, whichsaves time and money. Your monitor will display the im-ages as they were intended.1.1.
