Atrise Lutcurve

Monitors have greatly evolved throughout the years and based on solid research and testing, these nowadays last longer and are able to display high-quality images and videos. However, not all displays are based on the same technology or used for the same purpose and time can have a saying in functionality. Luckily, applications such as Atrise Lutcurve give you the possibility to tweak various settings to minimize color imperfections and calibrate the view.

At its core, the application is meant to get the job better done on LCD and CRT monitors, which have a tendency to wear off faster. Moreover, you can connect multiple monitors with the main window stretching on all of them for a better view or select the ones that need to be adjusted.

Depending on the type of damage your monitor suffers from, there are multiple steps in order to adjust colors. Keep in mind that the application doesn't have any automatic functions to adjust colors, so you need to manually set it up while paying close attention to each step.

A neat advantage is that each section comes with helpful and easy to understand documentation which is more than enough for managing numerical values attributed to colors. You mostly work with values for red, green and blue, as well as gamma or black from time to time.

Controls are clearly visible, yet small enough to allow most of the space to be used by colors and test grids so you can clearly view faulty areas. All areas can be accessed at any point during calibration, with entries for black, white, gamma, color balance, correction and a reference image to analyze your changes.

In case you know what you're doing, there's a dedicated tab with all controls at your disposal. Sadly, you can't save any presets, but it's not really an issue because color irregularities are random and due to various reasons. There is an option to reset all changes if you want to start over or you applied more damage.

All things considered, we can safely state that Atrise Lutcurve is a powerful utility with which you can not only calibrate LCD and CRT monitors in case of faulty pixels and colors, but also manage displays to apply various tones or check for irregularities. Although you have to make adjustments yourself, helpful text found in all steps make sure you don't get stuck along the way.
