Installing Natural Color Expert and Installation Requirements
  
  Installing Natural Color Expert on your PC.
 
The following requirements must be met to run Natural Co

requirements are met before  continuing the installation.
  
  If all requirements listed above 
have been met, run Natural Color Expert on your PC. If the Color 
Calibration OSD is displayed when the monitor menu  key is pressed, it means it is available. 
  
 
Natural Color Expert will not run if  your monitor is in dual mode.  
    
  
Natural Color Expert
  
  Natural Color Expert is a program de
veloped by Samsung to maximize and optimize the capability of the 
Syncmaster XL20 monitor for broad color bands. It  was developed to adjust the color characteristic 
offsets for each monitor which can  occur due to mass production. A Co lor Calibrator is provided which 
allows the color characteristics of your monitor  to be calibrated according to your needs.  
With Natural Color Expert, you can cr eate an icc profile for your monitor only. If required, you can also 
create an icc profile with  some changed monitor characte ristics. Save this icc profile to your PC and as 
the color mode of your monitor also , which allows you to view colors in a defined color space just by 
changing the color mode of your monitor. You do  not need to use a separate CMS program such as 
Photoshop. 
Natural Color Expert contains four (4) tabs: Calibrat ion, Emulation, Uniformity, and Miscellaneous. The 
Calibration tab allows you to create an icc file.  The Emulation tab allows you to change the monitor 
characteristics by converting color bands. The Unifor mity tab allows you to enhance the uniformity of 
your monitor. The Miscellaneous tab measur es the current status of your monitor.

Calibration
  
 
  
With the Calibration tab, you can create an  icc profile with the settings you configure. 
You can also create an icc profile with adjustments of the maximum brightness, black level, 
 
						

							  
gamma, and white point, except for the color band
s. All created icc profiles are saved in the 
C:WINDOWS system32 spool drivers color folder . You can also use an icc profile as the 
\\\\
monitor profile in a CMS program  such as Photoshop. In addition, you can save the settings in 
this tab as the calibration mode  which constitutes a part of the color mode of your monitor. Once 
saved, you can easily select the saved  set of settings using the Mode button.  
However, you can only save one se t of settings for the calibration mode of your monitor. That is, 
only the most recently saved set  of settings is available and valid.
