Color Saturation: On your external test pattern source, select a color bar pattern
like the one shown in Figure 4-4.
Figure 4-4. Typical Color Bar Pattern for Adjusting Color Saturation and Tint
Select Color from the Image Adjust menu. While looking at the color bar pattern
through a blue filter, adjust the color saturation level until the outermost (gray
and blue) color bars appear to be a single shade of blue:
Tint: Tint or “hue” is essentially the ratio of red to green in the color portion of the
image. When tint is decreased, the image appears redder; when it is increased
the image appears greener. To set the tint, select Tint from the Image Adjust
menu. While looking at the color bar pattern through a blue filter, adjust the tint
level until the cyan and magenta color bars (on either side of the green bar)
appear to be a single shade of blue.
Like the brightness and contrast controls, the color and tint
controls are interactive. A change to one may require a
subtle change to the other in order to achieve the optimum
setting.
