LaCie White Paper: 

Soft Proofing

Page 8

In  addition  to  a  monitor,  hardware  requirements  also  include  a  colorimeter.  To  be  suitable  for  soft 
proofing, a monitor must be calibrated.  Professional displays such as LaCie monitors support hardware 
calibration. To provide accurate results, the display hardware is adjusted automatically by the calibration 
software and colorimeter according to desired settings.  An ICC Profile is created to comply with any color 
management system.

LaCie blue eye pro PE software, combined with LaCie blue eye allows for high-quality profiling while inte-
