An ICC Profile workflow should be used for Capture One® workflows (ACR calibrations from DNG image files are not supported by Capture One®). An ICC Profile workflow can also be used in other situations where DNG format is not supported, however whenever possible it is preferable to make ACR calibrations for workflows except when using Capture One®.
Both the Calibrite ColorChecker Classic 24 Patch Target and the Calibrite ColorChecker Digital SG 140 Patch Target can be used for Capture One® ICC workflows. However, the ColorChecker Digital SG 140 delivers superior results. For other ICC workflows, the ColorChecker Classic 24 Patch Target may produce limited results, so the ColorChecker Digital SG 140 Patch Target is recommended.
Optimum image capture
NOTE: Capture One® will automatically process the output to a set file location on the computer. If you are new to Capture One®, it may be best to set the output to your desktop.
The TIFF can now be imported (or drag/drop) into the calibrite PROFILER’s Camera module to generate the ICC Profile.
NOTE: Remember to select the ICC TIFF option in the calibrite PROFILER’s Camera module.
Following setting the custom profile the images white balance can be set.
The above process provides a colour accurate start point for you to continue with your normal Capture One® workflow.
It is possible to create ICC profiles from other photo editing applications. Not every third-party photo editing software is the same. Make sure to use the proper settings when generating the TIFF file used in the calibrite PROFILER Camera module. The TIFF file should ideally be saved from a camera’s linear curve output setting.
Make sure there has been no editing applied to the image. The goal is to create a TIFF from the original untouched image.
NOTE: For best results the camera settings should be white balanced and correctly exposed – to comply with settings recommendation in Section A
If you are unsure of any settings, please contact the manufacture of your photo editing software.
The TIFF can now be imported (or drag/drop) into calibrite PROFILER’s Camera module to generate the ICC Profile.
On completion of saving your new ICC profile, launch (or relaunch) your preferred image editing application.
Assign the new custom camera profile to your images and it is then recommended to convert into your required working colour space (such as Adobe RGB or P3).
To check ICC Camera profiles, use the calibrite PROFILER utility named Profile Manager, and select > Camera > ICC. Installed ICC Camera profiles can be filtered, renamed and deleted through the utility.
