The trend of color evolution (2)

The display of colors in the display area, Sony Corporation introduced an automatic calibration "smart display" equipped with the company's own colorimeter. The function of this monitor is very exciting. It can not only adjust the RGB value for a target white point, but also can calibrate the shadow part. As far as I know, any other monitor package does not have this feature. The initial calibration cycle takes about ten minutes because the reflection of ambient light on the screen is measured in turn. If there is too much ambient light reflected on the screen, the software will give an error message.
Another exciting product is the ICS BasICColor Display 2, which supports DDC/2 information transfer between the display and the adaptive display. Basically, any monitor produced in the past three years has this function. DDC/2 allows BasICColor to control a regular computer monitor. With this option, BasICColor can automatically set the contrast, brightness, RGB values, and video card gamma correction. In essence, the display has been changed from "dumb" to "smart" display while maintaining investment.

A new book on color management emerged in the new year market - "Real World Color Management" was co-published by Bruce Frasier, Chris Murphy and Fred Bunting. Peach Pit Publishing's Real World series will provide a wealth of information and answers to questions. The GATF (Graphic Arts Technical Foundation) launched the GATF Practical Guide to Color Management (GATF), which focuses on the science technology behind the color management and the outline of the current feature package.
Applications such as Chromix's ColorThink and ICCTools' IccToolBox can draw ICC profiles that match the full color gamut. ColorThink has the function of dividing the color data of an image into 3D L*A*B*, and visually represents the process of converting colors into the printer's color space. By choosing different uses, you can observe which color conversion is distorted and how much it is distorted.
ICCtoolBox can demonstrate the calibration curve in two dimensions simply by the color information. This helps to identify if the paper is transitioning to ink, causing shifts in shaded areas and chromaticity on color samples.
Looking forward, it is true that the ICC parameters specification is not perfect. The research and development carried out in the field of color science are constantly introducing revised versions. The current version has solved some obvious problems and determined the ISO-compliant file format.
One of the more challenging aspects of color reaction prediction is to observe how people perceive color under a light source. Some surveys have found that specific ink and paper combinations change under different light sources. Observers have found that when a print is in a different light source environment (such as tungsten light and fluorescent light), the color will change significantly. Both GretagMacbeth ProfileMaker 4 and BasICColor Print have the ability to capture spectral data and reset it for a specific light source. This option is very useful because prints are rarely observed under the D50 light source. More importantly, most printed light source stations do not and cannot simulate the D50 spectral energy, preferring a 5000K white point light source.
Since the 1990s, we have experienced a long period of development. At present, many major printing application software and tools have actually supported and applied ICC profiles. However, not all applications have the same features or support for ICC profiles. These softwares are still cumbersome. Color management still has a long way to go, but we have found the right direction. (Finish)
