Calibrating your monitor
It is important that the colors represented on your monitor are reasonably accurate and meaningful. For example, red should really look red and not like a shade of orange or purple, and 50% gray shouldn’t look like light gray or dark gray.
In Corel PaintShop Pro, you can use a wizard that walks you through the process of calibrating your monitor so it displays accurate colors. At the end of the process, you can save a color profile for your monitor and apply the adjustments.
To calibrate your monitor
Edit workspace
1 Choose File Color Management Monitor Calibration.
The Monitor Calibration wizard appears.
2 Click the
Maximize button
.
Maximizing the dialog box eliminates distracting background colors.
3 Follow the instructions in the wizard, and click Finish to exit the wizard.
4 In the Save As dialog box, type a name for your monitor profile in the File Name box, and click Save.
If you have Administrator privileges for your computer, the profile becomes the active monitor profile.
If you do not have Administrator privileges for your computer, a message appears informing you to contact your System Administrator to install the profile.
You can also calibrate red, green, and blue tones for your monitor by marking the Advanced options check box when it appears on a wizard page.
You can clear the calibration settings for a wizard page by clicking Reset.
