Re: Budget monitoring for Color

from page 150 of the new Color 1.5 maunual:

Using the Preview Display as Your Evaluation Monitor:
Whether or not the preview display in the Scopes window is appropriate to use as your
evaluation monitor depends on a number of factors, the most important of which is the
amount of confidence you have in the quality of your preview display.
Many users opt to use the preview display as an evaluation monitor, especially when
grading scanned film in a 2K workflow, but you need to make sure that you’re using a
monitor capable of displaying the range of contrast and color necessary for maintaining
accuracy to your facility’s standards. Also, success depends on proper monitor calibration,
combined with color profiling and simulation of the eventual film output using LUT
management. (See “What Is a LUT?” for more information.)
