>> Is possible (is there any point) to profile a camera? The subject of a long debate(Won't even start to look here at the issues regarding firmware/hidden software combinations that produce pleasing rather than the accurate colour we need . Look at the scanner sharpening debate ...in many (Most ?) cases ,it's switched on even when it's supposedly switched off ) .
Probably better to look at the idea of the characterisation of the chip rather than profiling for each set. There is no doubt that using a Macbeth chart and the relevant software is going to produce a much better result than just using a white point correction or grey balance. We're in the middle of a colour critical job at present and the camera calibration using our older Philips chip in the Sinar 23 is producing remarkably accurate results ( We're checking our output by using spectrophotometer to measure our subject matter ......how sad is that ? ) Regards, Bob Marchant. ------------Colour Therapy------------ Digital Imaging - Colour Management Solutions Training and Consultancy on Digital Workflow t:0207 381 3337 =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
