354 Gradation Tool Chapter 7 - Color Workflow Sometimes it is necessary to perform tone corrections when printing a job. These changes in gradation can include brightness, contrast and color balance adjustments throughout the tone range of an entire image, or in specific tone ranges. Gradation tables you create using the Gradation tool are added to the Gradations list in the Color tab and may be applied to print jobs. The Spire CXP8000 color server also enables you to visually check the effect of different gradation adjustments on RTP jobs prior to printing. With Spire CXP8000 color server Gradation, you can apply the default gradation table or another pre-configured gradation table to a job. You can also edit an existing table and save your changes. Gradation is an interactive function and changes are automatically applied to the displayed image. Note: You can edit an existing gradation table, but you can not overwrite the default gradation table, DefaultGradTable. The Gradation Dialog Box The Gradation dialog box is used to create and edit gradation tables and to check the effect of different gradation adjustments on specific RTP jobs. These tables can then be applied to your jobs during job processing for tailored gradations. To open the Gradation dialog box: 1. From the Tools menu, select Gradation. The Gradation dialog box appears.
