Version 5.3.02 - Serendipity Software

Loupe
The Loupe mode positions a loupe on the SoftProof window. The Touch Console action pane acts like a drawing tablet.
Touch and drag your finger on the touch screen to move the loupe over your image.
Buttons around the edges of the console control the
Loupe’s features:
• Smaller / Bigger – Decrease or increase the size of
the loupe.
• Zoom In / Out – Increase or decrease the
magnification of the loupe.
• Solo Previous / Next Channel – These controls
allow individual Ink Channels of the job to be
viewed within the Loupe, acting as the Show
Channels function. The buttons cycle through each
individual channel then show all channels (default
view).
• Toggle HUD – Toggles the Heads Up Display in the
Loupe window, showing the CMYK dot percentages at the centered cross-­‐hair or within the average % box.
• Screened Pixel Readout – Toggles the HUD between cross-­‐hair point measurement of ink percentages and a
square for measuring area average dot percentages. The square resizes depending on the zoom % to always
cover an area equal to a full halftone cell at the LPI defined in SoftProof Settings.
Calibrate
The Calibration control screen allows operators to initiate Monitor Calibration and Calchecks for the main SoftProof
display.
• Calibrate – Opens the Displays application and begins the calibration process for the main SoftProof display.
Once calibrated, the monitor ICC profile is automatically saved as the operating system default, replacing the
previous ICC profile.
Note: When calibrating or calchecking, the Spectrophotometer assigned in the Displays application for either
task should be connected and ready for use. If the instrument is different to the assigned one an error will
occur, ceasing the operation. It is recommended to check the appropriate Spectrophotometers have been
assigned before using the Calibrate or Calcheck functions (see Applications > Displays).
• Calcheck – This option will open the Displays application, starting a Calcheck of the softproof display to the
standard patch set in the chart assigned to the current Press. On completion, the Calcheck status of the monitor
is updated with a tick/cross. This button is only available if the currently selected Press Config has an assigned
Calcheck Chart.
Note on Spot Colours: When performing a calcheck of the softproofing display, any special/spot colours included in
the currently loaded job are measured and included in the Calcheck for the purposes of a pass or fail.
View FlipBook
View FlipBook displays a list of available publications that may be opened and viewed using the FlipBook application.
Once a publication is opened, FlipBook controls will appear on the console:
• View 3D, View Calendar, Show Borders and Rendered Thumbnails toggles.
• Decrement/Increment Start Page, Even/Odd Top Page, Read Direction 1-­‐>2 / 2
