4.10.5 Color Space Emulation

Some high-end monitor have an internal 3d Look-Up-Table (3D LUT)
which allows it to manipulate the color charakeristics of the display. This
makes it possible to emulate the shape and size of a different color
space instead of using the native color gamut of the display. This means
a wide-gamut display with a color gamut of about 100% of AdobeRGB
(1998) can reduces in it's gamut to e.g. the shape and size of an sRGB-
display.
When a monitor emulates a color gamut it's not possible any more
to show higher saturated colors than the colors of the emulated color
gamut. Even when the monitor is able to show those colors in it's native
color gamut!
Excluded from the emulation of the color gamut is the white point and
the tonal response curve of the monitor (and of course the black- and
white-luminances).
Tip: If a Wide-Gamut display should emulate a color gamut as good
as possible then the color temperature and the tonal response curve
should be calibrated to the native settings of the color gamut which
should be emulated.
To activate a Color Space Emulation on supported displays just select
an ICC-profile from the list. All ICC-profiles which are installed on your
system are listed
To activate the Color Space Emulation click on the <Save>-button at the
bottom of the window.
