Seeing what areas the profiler used

Post by Wolverine@MSU »

Is there a way to see all the areas used when building a profile? When auto-profiling, only one square is shown (the one for the rough profile), but after fine-tuning, is there a way to see what areas were used in order to add other areas that weren't used. I'm referring to profiling using your test image. Are all of the squares used to generate the final profile?

If you use the Calibration Target then normally all squares are used, unless there are some defects (like visible details) in some of them. Normally, there is no need to additionally fine-tune a profile when a good image of the Calibration Target is used.

If you want to additionally fine-tune a profile there is a way to find which area could be useful: use the color indicators in the Equalizer. Check which brightness ranges are not measured yet or intepolated (yellow) and then try to select an area in the image that makes the corresponding values (digits) go red. There are also small color rectangles under the equalizer that show where the selected area belongs to in the equalizer.

To fine-tune a profile you have to try to make all equalizer values get green shadings ('measured').
