Do you want the DCP as well?

I have Wolf Faust targets, if that’s OK.

The page also mentions google code, you may want to update that.

I don’t have an x-rite, but do have a Macbeth ColorChecker. It’s old but in good condition and has the same swatches as the x-rite. Will this work for you?

The sun will not be “high in the sky” even at noon here, given the 51 degrees N latitude. It’s also supposed to be cloudy for the next few days so I’m wondering how quickly you need the raw files.

I have a Nikon D800, D7100 and D3.

Have ready made color profile for Nikon J1, do you want it? :slight_smile: )
and about to make the same for sony a5000…are interested in those?

Macbeth is fine.

No, I only want the raw shots, not ready-made DCPs.

Yes, I’m interested in all camera models not already covered. Both daylight and tungsten shots.

Thank you, fixed.

I updated the whole article, please see it again - I added missing info and clarified some things.

Awesome, about to shoot my target with a D750 and Yi M1.

I can add a profile of Olympus E-M10, but three questions:

  1. Regarding the StdA sample, I have the required tungsten bulb, but it is in a corridor lamp, attached to the wall, not to the ceiling. The width is only 60cm and the height is 120cm. Please advice if this is a workable setup and where it’s better to hold the color checker. .There will be a lot of reflection from the walls, but they are white.

  2. Regarding the D65 shot, unfortunately the days aren’t perfectly clear where I live. There is a lot of sun, but not like a perfectly clear sky. Is this good enough?

  3. My card is a CC passport, and I know that DCamProf has a special treatment for that. So should I take a photo with the two sides open (the 24 patches + additions), or only the 24 patches?

Thanks.

I had no issues with using my white-tiled bathroom or white-painted basement, so I guess your white wall should be fine too.

Should be fine. In writing the guide I stuck to the practice of shooting in the sun, but in my own experience shooting on an overcast day presented no problems. I want to confirm this with new measurements before I amend the guide.

Just the part which interests us, so that this part is the brightest part of your frame.

Send in the shots, we’ll measure and get back to you if there are issues.

OK. I’m attaching a tungsten shot. Tomorrow I’ll try to capture some sun.

@assaft I took a quick look generated a DCP - your shot looks fine, your chart is in great condition and the result works well:

There was room for a +0.9EV adjustment to get the D4 patch to L*=50 (patch 22 in this image http://xritephoto.com/ph_product_overview.aspx?ID=824&Action=Support&SupportID=5159 ).

Looking forward to the D65 shot.

Also, there is a cat lying on my mousepad.

Here are the Nikon D750 and Yi Mi. I’m not too smart and left my Nikon set at f10. Sorry. Both images are released under the Creative Commons Zero license, as requested.

Thanks @paperdigits, I never processed one of these before. The YI M1 shot is just on the verge of clipping (green channel over A15). Could you make tungsten shots too?

I can look for a tungsten bulb, but I don’t own one at the moment.

Here are two D65 shots, I’m not sure which one is better. The sun was coming through some thin clouds, in the second one more than the first.

P1171581.ORF (15.0 MB)

  • has a straighter angle but slightly harsher light

P1171595.ORF (14.8 MB)

  • tilted but slightly more diffused light

Hello,

I have shot my X-Rite passport with my Nikon D800 this noon (as bright sun as possible in winter) but I have no more tungsten bulb. Is it useful that I provide my sunlight DCP?

P.S.
And a big “thank you!” for the astounding work on RawTherapee :smile:

@Pata_Kreyp yes please, the raw file not the DCP.

Making a DCP for the IT8 (IT 8.7/2-1993) using DCamProf turned out to be easy.

I got the reference values by downloading the R151101 file from Affordable IT 8.7 (ISO 12641) Scanner Color Calibration Targets

argyll-scanin -v -G 0.454545 -p -digIcrpn daylight.tif /usr/share/argyllcms/ref/it8.cht /tmp/R151101/R151101.txt daylight-diag.tif

After with embedded tone curve:

Delta E was quite high, not surprisingly as these IT8 targets are known to be difficult to use outside of the studio, though as this is my first DCP made from one of them I don’t know what is normal for them.

  Y dynamic range is 7.52 stops, G dynamic range is 5.54 stops, difference
  1.99 stops. A small difference is normal, while a large indicates that there

Warning: auto-selected neutral patch (A16) is not the lightest, as the
  lightest patch is considerably off-white. That is if you later use the target
