Picture

What it is for

Section titled “What it is for”

Settings › Picture covers the picture as a whole: its colour, and where and at what shape it is drawn.

Settings shown on the Picture section: the rail listing all sixteen sections with Picture selected first under Video & display, and beside it Colour adjustment — Brightness at 0.00, Contrast, Saturation and Gamma at 1.00, Hue at 0°, Colour LUT (.cube) on None with Choose…, and Reset colour — then Picture placement — Aspect ratio on From the file, Pan and scan at 0.00, Zoom at 1.00×, Pan horizontally and Pan vertically at 0.00, and Reset placement.

How to use it

Section titled “How to use it”
  1. Under Colour adjustment, move Brightness, Contrast, Saturation, Hue and Gamma; Reset colour returns all five to neutral.
  2. Colour LUT (.cube) applies a grading look from a file you pick with Choose… — a look, not screen calibration. The cross beside the file and a LUT interpretation list appear once one is set.
  3. Under Picture placement, set Aspect ratio — From the file to begin with — when a film is drawn at the wrong shape.
  4. Raise Pan and scan to trade black bars for cropped edges and Zoom to enlarge; Pan horizontally and Pan vertically shift the picture inside the window. Reset placement undoes all five.
  5. Click Save to keep any of it — see Saving changes.

Good to know

Section titled “Good to know”
  • They re-grade; they do not repair a compressed or banded source — that is the Upscaler section’s Source tab.
  • Pan horizontally and Pan vertically move the picture whether or not anything is cropped: where there are black bars it slides into them, and otherwise it slides off one edge, leaving black behind it. Reset placement brings it back.
  • Nothing is kept until Save, though a film on screen follows every change at once, resets included.
