Tip: LUT-Loader<br />
by Color Solutions Software<br />
Make sure that the „basICColor<br />
<strong>display</strong>4 VideoLUT Loader“ is the only<br />
LUT-loader in the Windows start-up<br />
programs folder.<br />
There will be a LUT conflict, resulting<br />
in a wrong calibration, if other<br />
LUT-loaders such as Adobe Gamma are<br />
launched at system start-up.<br />
Mac OS<br />
The color management framework of OS X (ColorSync) au-<br />
tomatically detects the presence of calibration curves in an<br />
ICC-profile and downloads them into the video card at sys-<br />
tem start-up or when allocating a different ICC-profile using<br />
the monitors control panel.<br />
Windows<br />
The Windows color management framework (ICM) does<br />
not support this functionality, a separate LUT-loader is re-<br />
quired. basICColor <strong>display</strong> contains such a LUT-loader which<br />
is installed automatically into the start-up programs folder<br />
when installing basICColor <strong>display</strong>.<br />
At Windows start-up the LUT-loader downloads the calibra-<br />
tion curves into the video card. When changing the monitor<br />
profile, the LUT-loader must be launched manually in order<br />
to download the correct LUT.<br />
The downside of a software calibration, compared to hard-<br />
ware calibration is the reduction of tonal values by using 8<br />
bit LUTs in the video card. Depending from the extent of the<br />
correction, banding and reduced definition in highlights and<br />
shadows can be then consequence. This effect is annoying<br />
in technical vignettes, but it’s not so visible in photos.<br />
