Creating a Pixel Template

A pixel template allows you to evaluate the capacity of the screen to display a high luminance on tiny details. This capacity is measured by determining the number of pixels in a white square that are able to reach 85% of the screen's maximum luminance.

To create a pixel template:

  1. Open an XMP file in Virtual Photometric Lab.

  2. Click Measures .

  3. Create the measurement areas as shown in the images below:

  4. When the template definition is done, click Export .

  5. Save the exported template and rename it Pixel Template.

Note: To evaluate global contrast, you need to establish the ratio between the maximum luminance of the screen (when a white map is displayed) and the minimum luminance of the screen (when a black map is displayed).
