40 Making Detailed Adjustments
Color Settings
If the image colors don’t look correct, you can adjust them using these settings. Use the first
three settings described below to make the most visible changes. If you only need to make
slight adjustments, you can fine-tune the picture with the remaining settings. Most color
settings are stored separately for each image source and color mode.
Note: If you’re using a commercially available color calibration DVD, you can display a color-bar
test pattern and then filter colors in the image by pressing the Pattern button. Select one of the
Color Isolation options for the color you want to filter (R/G/B). This lets you adjust color settings
without holding a filter over your eyes while making adjustments. Press the Esc button when
you’re done.
