70 Chapter 3 Using the Color Interface
Moving Saved Corrections and Grades to Other Computers
If you have saved corrections and grades that you want to move to Color installations
on other computers, you can simply copy the folders described on page 68 to a
portable storage device, and then copy their contents into the corresponding folders
on the new system. The next time you open Color, the saved corrections and grades
will appear as they did before.
Using Color with One or Two Monitors
Color is compatible with both one- and two-monitor computer configurations. Most
users will benefit from using Color in dual display mode with two monitors, as this
provides the most screen real estate and also allows for the most flexible use of the
preview and video scopes displayed on the Scopes window of the second monitor.
However, Color can also be used in single display mode, which lets you operate Color in
situations where a second display is not available. Single display mode is only
recommended on 30-inch Cinema Displays.
Note: Color requires a minimum resolution of 1680x1050 in either single or dual display
mode.
To switch between single and dual display modes, do one of the following:
m Choose Window > Single Display Mode or Dual Display Mode.
m Press Shift-0 to toggle between both modes.
You must quit Color and reopen it for this change to take effect.
