X -Axis Video input level (0 ~ 255)
Y-Axis Video output level (0 ~ 8160)
Control Point(s) The tone curve may adjusted by dragging a control point. The dot-line between adjoining control points indicates the interpolation curve.
Output Gamma Curve The software shows it if checking the [Display output curve] option.

*
The software interpolates between adjoining control points with special function.
*
In the graph area, it is not supported tone adjustment if the number of control points are set to 256.

 

Adjusting Tone by the Table Area

LEVEL (X) Video input level (0 ~ 255)
It is equivalent to the index of X-axis on the graph.
VALUE (Y) Video output level (0 ~ 8160)
It is equivalent to the index of Y-axis on the graph.
Control Point(s) The LEVEL (X) cell is filled in light green and the LEVEL (Y) cell is filled in lilac.
Double click the VALUE(Y) cell to edit value.

*
Input the value in VALUE(Y) within the range of 0 ~ 8160.
