Introduction

1. Introduction to the LaCie blue eye pro

ank you for purchasing the LaCie blue eye pro

color management solution. e LaCie blue eye color-

imeter and LaCie blue eye pro software deliver precise

color control for monitors, allowing for calibration of

the three red, green and blue gains of the monitor indi-

vidually, and creating an ICC proﬁle of the monitor.

ese proﬁles provide a description of the monitor’s

individual characteristics, measuring the gamma, white

point and luminance. Proﬁles created with a colorimeter

and software, such as those created by the LaCie blue

eye, are more accurate and help programs like Adobe

PhotoShop display images properly.

Graphic professionals working in color-managed

environments will be able to adjust every monitor in

their image chain, allowing them to evaluate images

and perform real-time edits with assured accuracy. A

properly calibrated and proﬁled monitor also allows

for “soft-prooﬁng,” because the image is veriﬁed, which

saves time and money. Your monitor will display the im-

ages as they were intended.

3. Color Management

e digital age has brought about many important

gains for color-conscious professionals, whether they

work in ﬁelds such as graphic design, pre-press, video

or digital photography. With these improvements, how-

ever, new challenges arose.

One of those issues confronting professionals is the

variability of the reproduction of color from one moni-

tor to another.

Every monitor has its own color characteristics. In

order to eﬀectively deal with this variability in monitor

“personalities,” it’s important to have a means of con-

trolling, or managing, this diﬀerence. e most eﬀective

color management solution for monitors involves using

a piece of hardware (the LaCie blue eye) and software

(the LaCie blue eye pro) to adjust and control the color

among diﬀerent monitors.

To implement color management, it is essential to

properly calibrate and create custom, individual proﬁles

for all your monitors. Once a monitor has been cali-

brated and a proﬁle has been created, the proﬁle then

communicates with the operating system and the ap-

plication software to ensure that images are displayed

accurately.

is section will help to explain how color is created

and how the LaCie blue eye pro utilizes calibration and

proﬁles to help you implement your color management

solution.

3.1. Basic Issues With Monitor Color Rendering

Human perception of color is the result of the ad-

dition by our brain of the stimuli received from three

types of nerve cells located in our eyes that are sensitive

to the red, green and blue areas of the color spectrum.

is is why the method used in a computer monitor to

reproduce color is for each pixel to be composed of three

dots that respectively emit red, green and blue light.

LaCie blue eye pro

User Manual page 9

Color Management

The Three Primaries – Red, Green And Blue■

e intensity of the light emitted by the red, green

and blue dot in each pixel is set as a function of three

values commonly called R,G and B. e R, G and B of

a given pixel can be set as any integer value from 0 to

255.

A pixel set to R=255, G=255, B=0 has its red and❖

green dots emitting at maximum intensity and the

blue dot not emitting at all. e result is an intense

yellow.

A pixel set to R=128, G=128, B=128 has its three❖

dots emitting red, green and blue lights at a medium

intensity.

321

Fig. 3.1.A.

1 pixel = 1 red dot + 1 green dot + 1 blue dot

RGB Values Are Device-Dependent■

As we noted earlier, every monitor has its own indi-

vidual settings for reproducing the RGB, because moni-

tor manufacturers make very diﬀerent choices as to the

components that are used in their monitors. is leads

to very strong diﬀerences between the color produced by

any given RGB settings on separate monitors.

Besides the diﬀerent components, there are also sev-

eral reasons for this variation. On a TFT, for instance,

here are some of the most important factors that come

into consideration:

e color ﬁlters used to create the dots of each pixel❖

e nature of the backlights❖

e light transmittance characteristics of the liquid❖

crystal technology used in the display

e brightness, contrast and other settings used on❖

the monitor

e age of the monitor❖

With this in mind, moving back to our example

about the RGB setting to produce blue. We know that

we’re getting the color blue, but is the color of blue being

321

25500

128 128 128

255 255 0

displayed accurate? One particular monitor could dis-

play the blue as akin to sky blue, another as Navy Blue,

and another as another shade of blue. And this is the

case for all colors, not just blue.

Because the color that is actually produced by a giv-

en RGB setting is not necessarily the same from one

monitor to another, color scientists say that RGB values

are device-dependent.

Fig. 3.1.B.

LaCie blue eye pro

User Manual page 10

Color Management

The Consequences Of Device Dependency■

e direct consequence of this is that a given image

(for instance a digital photograph) will not necessarily

appear the same on two separate monitors. One may of-

ten observe color shifts, loss of contrast or loss of detail.

As a result, considerable ineﬃciencies can appear in

professional workﬂows. When receiving a picture from

its photographer, the news agency may have the impres-

sion that some color correction needs to be performed

on the photograph, even though it may already have

been done by the photographer before sending the pic-

ture to the agency.

e same problem can occur when a printer receives

digital art included in their customer’s document. e

colors displayed on the printer’s monitor may not be

identical to the ones displayed at the customer site.

3.2. Monitor Calibration And Device Proﬁles

e LaCie blue eye pro implements a convenient so-

lution to these problems. It entails two steps:

Step 1: e monitor is set to a calibrated state that is

described in terms of its Brightness, Gamma and White

Point Temperature.

is allows the color-conscious professional to

knowingly choose the range of colors that will be dis-

played on the monitor; and in particular to be certain

that the colors displayed on the monitor correspond to a

standard environment.

Step 2: An ICC (International Color Consortium)

monitor proﬁle is created and systematically embedded

in the artwork produced from the professional’s work-

station. e ICC proﬁle acts as a translator between

RGB values and absolute colorimetric measurements

that are expressed in a scientiﬁc color model such as

CIELAB or Yxy.

By taking into account the translation mechanisms

contained in the ICC proﬁle,another computer monitor

(or any other device, such as a printer, for example) can

reproduce the exact same absolute colors even though

its components, settings and aging may be signiﬁcantly

diﬀerent. e beneﬁt is that both professionals see the

same colors, and that there is no color shift across the

workﬂow.
