C.3.3 COLOR ADJUSTMENTS
Having set the black and white levels earlier, let’s continue…
NTSC
1. If your monitor has a “Blue-gun only” setting, enable it. Depending on the
brand of your monitor, the alternating bars will appear either as light gray
and black, or blue and black (Figure 408).

2. If the monitor lacks a “Blue-gun only” feature, you can obtain a colored filter
such as a Kodak Wratten #47B gel, and hold that between your eyes and the
monitor for a similar result.
3. Tweak the Color (or Saturation) knob until the small rectangular patches at
very bottom of the tall upper bars on the extreme right and left of your
screen merge with the tall bars above.
4. Tweak the monitor’s Hue control until the small rectangles beneath the third
and fifth tall upper bars likewise blend into bar above.
5. You may need to redo the last two steps several times, balancing the
adjustments of these two controls until all four of the lighter bars evenly
match the smaller rectangles just beneath them. (Note that a perfect match
simply may not be possible on some monitors.)
