The 6 Axis Color Trim is an advanced feature that allows screen colors to be adjusted after the display has been
calibrated. The color adjustments only impact a specific range of colors, and each range can be adjusted in Hue,
Saturation, and Offset (Brightness). The color ranges that can be adjusted are the primary colors (red, green, and blue),
and the secondary colors (yellow, cyan, and magenta).
Notes
1: Adjustments only impact saturated colors, and not the white point of the display, or any neutral colors.
2: Adjustments are intentionally applied after the display has been calibrated and the ICC/ColorSync profile has been
generated, so any adjustments made using the 6 Axis Color Trim are not reflected in the ICC/ColorSync profile.
3: Supported models only. Refer to the "6 Axis Color Trim" column in the "Features by Model" tables on page 58 and page
60 for the specific capabilities of each display model.
4: This feature is not intended as a substitute for accurate output device ICC/ColorSync profiles. It should be used only to
make minor adjustments when necessary.
The recommended workflow for using this feature is as follows:
1. First calibrate with no 6 Axis Color Trim applied.
2. Visually evaluate the screen image with whatever test image is being used. Be sure to use the Proof Colors or
Softproof feature in the image editing application if available. Using a test image with a broad range of colors
and saturations is recommended.
3. If necessary make any necessary adjustments in the 6 Axis Color Trim dialog.
4. Save the modified Target file.
5. Use this Target the next time the display is recalibrated. The same trim adjustments will automatically be applied.
Using 6 Axis Color Trim
This feature is intended as an expert level control and can be useful in
situations when certain ranges of colors do not match exactly as
expected. For example if the hue of yellows appear slightly off when
evaluating a test print, the yellow hue can be adjusted slightly to improve
the matching.
