PremierColor 6.

Introduction

Today’s computer users view a wide variety of content on their desktop or laptop display. From email messages and
web pages to digital still photography, YouTube, and other videos. All of these types of content are intended to be
viewed in different color spaces. Users typically view their content in the sRGB color space. However, wide-color-
gamut panels far exceed the color specifications of sRGB making content appear inaccurate.

PremierColor allows a user to select the best color space for the content being viewed. It characterizes, calibrates,
and controls wide-color-gamut panels for precise image presentation. PremierColor corrects the over-saturation
problem associated with wide-color-gamut panels.
