 Introduction

About Lutcurve
Lutcurve is a program which enables users to calibrate their CRT or LCD monitor display
through monitor and software controls without the need for any sensor hardware and may
be used on a single or multiple monitor set-up.

Software adjustments are made to the monitor “look up table” (LUT) which is the method
used for computers to convey brightness and color information to display devices. The
ability for precise adjustments of the red, green and blue values for up to 256 gradations
from black to white, enable the generation of a linear gray scale, (brightness curve).

The five step process presents the user with real time display of each adjustment made as
well as a unique incremental presentation which offers a view of each progressive setting.

Adjustments are portrayed as numerical values, graphical representations and real time
image, giving users practical feedback on each and every setting made or reverted to.

The five steps are:

1. Black Point
2. White Point
3. Gamma
4. Color Correction
5. Curve Adjustment

Each step is critical to achieving best possible calibration of the monitor. Skipping or not
completing any step will defeat the purpose of using this program.

The functions of each step are:

Black Point - adjusts brightness control

(or black level, if used in the advanced monitor menu).
White Point - adjusts contrast and monitor RGB controls.
Gamma - adjusts monitor gamma.
(or monitor gamma RGB controls, if available).
Color Correction - fine adjustment of monitor color temperature setting.
Curve Adjustment - fine adjustment for the linearity of the brightness curve.

4 Atrise Lutcurve User Manual

Lutcurve is designed to provide optimal monitor display for these values:

Gamma: Any value from 0.1 to 5.0, 2.2 as default,

White Point: 6500K,
Luminance Level: 80 cd/m2,
Color Space: sRGB or native monitor color space.

The software is based on an article "Measurement of display transfer characteristic

(gamma)" by A. Roberts. The calibration method is optimized for physiological sensibility of
human eye to gray tones.

System Requirements
Windows 2000, XP, x64, Vista SP1 x86/x64, Windows 7 x86/x64
32-bit color display mode
Video driver from manufacturer
Mouse or another pointing device
PDF Viewer

Known Issues
If your computer returns from a hibernating or a sleep mode, or if some software such as a
computer game changes the system LUT curve itself, your monitor may lose calibration.

To correct this, manually execute Lutloader from Start Menu.

Lutcurve is capable of performing calibration on aging monitors, however it does not

diagnose or fix; faulty monitors, operating systems or graphics software.

Note for color professionals: The software calibration method cannot give you a color
precision, because it does not take into account monitor RGB color coordinates. It is
impossible to create correct ICC profiles without a measurement device. So it is strongly
recommended to use Lutcurve with an ICC profile from a monitor manufacturer.

Atrise Lutcurve User Manual 5

 Getting Started

Conditions
To achieve the utmost benefit from calibrating your monitor display with Lutcurve, users
should establish some basic workplace conditions which are readily reproduced and
typical of the conditions in which the display will be used, such as image editing.

To obtain absolute best results the directions in this manual should be followed
carefully, especially those relating to the work environment and monitor control
settings.

For users calibrating LCD displays, it is worthwhile to observe the differences in the screen
display when viewing under less than ideal situations and at other than straight on angles.

To asses the impact of these situations a trial viewing of black point and white point
displays at other than normal operating viewing positions and with over lit room conditions
will demonstrate the need to establish best viewing before calibration.

Lighting
Lighting should be at a level which offers enough illumination to comfortably read text such
as printed newspaper and yet not interfere with your screen displays. The actual color of
the lighting must be considered also as even though our eye brain system compensates
for impure white light our photo system and associated technology does not. As you will be
performing evaluation of colors during the calibration process and subsequently, of images
on screen and likely as prints, then starting with a known standard of white light is of
significant benefit.

Lighting levels and type must also be consistent, which often will mean relying upon
artificial light and not daylight or a combination of the two. Therefore with lights on, and
curtains closed, you can be assured of having a standard light source reference. The
recommended bulbs to use are known as D50 types. This will also provide for optimum
conditions for monitor color temperature of 6500K.

Ensure that lighting does not interfere with your screens either by shining directly upon the
screen itself or lighting an object in the room which reflects on to the screen, and that will
include yourself so take a while to study your room light position and effect on your screen.

6 Atrise Lutcurve User Manual

Ideally, the area behind the screens must also be considered as that will be in your field of
view when looking at the screen. Best conditions will have a neutral or gray background
and lit to the same or a level just below screen brightness.

Ensure that monitor tilt and swivel angles are those that you will use when working with
images and that monitor positions are not adjusted during the calibration process,
especially important when working with LCD panels.

It is worth noting that the work environment conditions for monitor calibrating should be the
same as when performing image processing such as editing or print preparation.

Workplace Conditions
In addition to the comfort and health of establishing good workplace conditions, any image
evaluation or processing will benefit from a few simple environmental standards.

This illustrates a poor work environment, with overpowering lighting and an unevenly lit
background, as well as visual distractions from colored objects.

Atrise Lutcurve User Manual 7

 This illustrates a preferred work environment with subdued lighting giving an evenly lit
background, and no visual distractions from colored objects.

Monitor Profiles
As with all computer devices that are designed to reproduce color, monitors have provision
for a color profile. Often the monitor manufacturers' profile will be the default setting and
may not be readily changed.

Before using Lutcurve to calibrate your display, be aware of the manufacturers' monitor
profile in use. If you have no default monitor profile, use the sRGB profile instead or not
use any.

Once calibrated, revert to your preferred monitor profile or create a new profile, using your
hardware calibration device.

Dual Monitors
Lutcurve automatically detects a multimonitor set-up and allows the user to select the
monitor to be calibrated or checked.

In a dual monitor arrangement, Lutcurve display will span across both monitors, the
controls and references displaying on the selected monitor and blank over the second

 (inactive) monitor. Lutcurve calibration will achieve matching or closest match for multi-
monitor setups.

Each monitor requires individual calibration.

Graphics Card
Many graphics or video cards are supplied with software that provides users with monitor
settings from a 'master control panel'. Removing this software may limit or disable one or
more functions so before calibrating with Lutcurve, it is necessary to set the graphic card
controls at either null or a neutral value.

Other Calibration Software

Uninstall any third party “Gamma Loader” software and remove any monitor tweak
programs as they may modify LUT settings at the system startup or during the calibration
stages.

Initial Monitor Adjustment

In the workplace environment already established, and ensuring that your monitor has
been operating for at least 20 minutes, adjust for best viewing using the monitor controls,
(contrast and brightness).

The “AUTO” feature may also provide a useful starting point.

Some monitors have advanced setup menu. Please read your monitors' user manual for
details. If advanced set-up is available, the critical areas are: Color Temperature (or RGB
Level Gains), Gamma, Black Point, Brightness, Contrast, Color Space Mode. Where
available, use your monitor advanced setup possibilities.

Set your monitor(s) color temperature at 6500K and Gamma at 2.2. Most current monitors
have a luminance level about 200 cd/m2, so to get a recommended “dark room” standard
value 80 cd/m2 you may use the 40% contrast level.

If you do not have a monitor ICC profile, select sRGB color space. Else setup native
monitor color space.

This initial monitor adjustment is sufficient to begin the calibration process.

Calibration Phases
Displays are calibrated in two phases:

1. Hardware Controls Phase

2. Software Controls Phase

These phases use the same main steps, but in the first phase only hardware controls are
used. In the second phase Lutcurve controls tune your hardware setup for ideal state. Do
not use any Lutcurve controls before all steps in the first phase are completed.

Remember, always use hardware controls first and only apply Lutcurve adjustments in the
first phase if your monitor controls appear to be inadequate to provide a suitable display.

Monitor control calibration will give you the maximal possible image quality.

Execute Lutcurve
Launch Lutcurve by clicking on the Lutcurve desktop icon or Windows Start Menu.

The Lutcurve Welcome screen is displayed.

Atrise Lutcurve User Manual 11

 Navigation
Navigation tabs for switching between calibration steps are on the base at the left side of
the page. Each page displays concise text instructions as white text over the black
background except for the White Point page when black text is used against white.

Navigation tabs

Calibration steps are to be made in the tabbed sequence. Users may navigate back and
forward using the tabs, any settings made will be preserved.

If you are unable to clearly discern the text on the first 3 pages, it means that your monitor
is extremely out of calibration and you should therefore adjust the monitor contrast and
brightness controls to achieve a clear display. With a properly adjusted monitor and having
read the Welcome page text, you are ready to begin monitor calibration.

If using multi-monitor set-up, from the navigation tabs, select the applicable display:

Black Point
Select Black Point:

Use monitor black level controls if present on your monitor, else use the brightness control
to show the levels immediately above black.

You must get the screen as black as possible with as many of the 9 (1,1,1 to 9,9,9) black
squares visible. These levels of black may not be possible on all monitors.

Increase brightness to distinguish between these values if required. Keep the black
background as black as possible. Each level must be color neutral.

On S-IPS TTF monitors and notebook displays a deep black color is not obtainable, adjust
for as black as possible for these display types.

White Point
Adjust contrast so that the values (252,252,252), (253,253,253) or (254,254,254) are just
visible and color neutral. Decrease the monitor contrast if you cannot see them. Each level
must be color neutral. Use monitor R, G and B Gain controls if available to achieve color
neutrality.

You should get all white squares visible. Note that many LCD displays and especially
aging displays will have a tendency to distort absolute white and upper ranges 235 – 255
and display a yellowed tint.

Gamma
Windows and MacOS standard gamma is 2.2. But you can change it on a Welcome page.
Any value from 0.1 to 5.0 is supported.

Make vertical columns less visible on the background in the center part using monitor
Gamma. On notebook displays and TN monitors view the display from a constant position
without changing the viewing angle at all.

It is OK to leave top and bottom parts colored. Only the center part of all columns must be
gray and have the same intensity as the background. If your monitor supports Gamma for
R, G and B separately, use these controls.

It may not be possible to achieve absolute absence of color(s). If this is the case, adjust so
that a center strip of the rectangle is gray, leaving some coloration at the top and bottom of
the rectangle.

Color Balance
Make black, white and gray tones as color neutral as possible. If you cannot remove a
color tone of some grid lines in the center part, correct the black and white points which
must be color neutral.

You may use all previous monitor controls here.

Color Balance adjustments are for 6500 K. Best results will be obtained when using the
recommended room lighting conditions with D50 lamps.

Black Point

The controls provide for negative and positive adjustment of

the selected setting as well as precise adjustment of the RGB
component of the selected setting.

A reset [ >0< ] button will return all control levels of the

selection to null or zero.

Users with CRT or notebook displays may need to adjust Lutcurve Black Point controls
even though this has been set with monitor control already.

The ideal adjustment is so that you can just see the first black square (1,1,1) against the
absolute black background (0,0,0), essentially nil amounts red, green and blue.

It is acceptable to get the screen as black as possible with as many of the 9 (1,1,1 to 9,9,9)
black squares visible. These levels of black may not be possible on all monitors. Do not
increase the Black Point if you cannot see (1,1,1) or (2,2,2). Your absolute black level must
be as black as possible, even if you cannot see some squares.

Atrise Lutcurve User Manual 19

 Should you notice any coloring of the squares, neutralize the coloring by adjusting the R,
G, or B controls, whilst viewing the affected squares.

White Point
The ideal adjustment is so that you can just see the last
white square (254,254,254) against the absolute white
background (255,255,255) essentially nil amounts red,
green and blue.

Should you notice any coloring of the squares, neutralize

the coloring by adjusting the R, G, or B controls, whilst
viewing the affected squares.

You should get all white squares visible. Note that many LCD displays and especially
aging displays will have a tendency to distort absolute white and upper ranges 235 – 255
and display a yellowed tint.

Note evenly graded squares from left to right at full white and absence of 'blow out' and
yellow tint. Without this setting, all subsequent steps will be useless, as gray will not be
possible to obtain.

Some colors will always be visible. Contrast loss is not a big problem, but incorrect white
settings will adversly impact on subsequent settings, creating a problem when attempting
to calibrate.

Gamma
Make adjustments to Gamma and fine tune with RGB until none or very little color is
discernible in the center gray rectangle.

On some monitors, it may not be possible to achieve absolute absence of color(s). If this is
the case, adjust so that a center strip of the rectangle is gray, leaving some coloration at
the top and bottom of the rectangle.

Start here for a general adjustment.

Finely adjust R,G,B if required to eliminate any

traces of color.

On notebook displays and TN monitors view the display from a constant position without
changing the viewing angle at all.

It is OK to leave top and bottom parts colored. Only the center part of all columns must be
gray and have the same intensity as the background intensity.
