Last call for color-target shots for inclusion in RawTherapee 5

I’m glad they worked! It was my first time taking that color target out of the packaging.

I’ve got tungsten bulbs in my amazon cart now.

Thank you @Pata_Kreyp
Currently we ship a dual-illuminant DCP for the D800 so we’ll keep it.
Your shot is generally great, all parameters are fine except that it’s clipped. If you shoot a D65 + StdA shot, and make sure there is no clipping, then we can update our current DCP. Please do that, as unfortunately I don’t have the raw photos we made our DCP from.

Ok. Sorry about the clipping.

The thing is I only loaded the shot in Lightroom (I know, I know) and it didn’t considered it as clipped :frowning:
(when I look at it in RT, it indeed shows two clipped squares)

I’ll try again this noon at -0.3ev
(Not sure about the sun this noon, btw)

P.S.
I’m also ordering some tungsten lightbulbs :slight_smile: but I’m not sure when I get them (and whether they arrive unbroken)

It seems there is a problem with either all my shots or RawTherapee.

I shot my X-Rite passport this noon with -1ev to +1ev and there is still some supposed clipping when in RawTherapee. But neither LightRoom nor the ColorChecker application find any clipping.

Even at +1ev, RT tells that the “blue” square just above the black (in lower right corner) is clipping in black:

  • in RT, it is R:0% G: 79% B: 93%
  • in LT, it is R: 83% G: 92% B: 97%

Did I do something wrong?

RT version 4.2.1513 (I upgraded to this one and even cleared all caches)
LT version 5.7

@Pata_Kreyp nobody can help if you don’t upload your shots.

The problem is already visible the NEF I posted previously.

Look at the “blue-green” square above the black square in lower right corner. It should not be clipping, according to LR and the Colorchecker application (which creates a DCP from it, BTW).

Here are two “extremes”: 8009 is -0,67ev and 8047 is +1ev (with a lot of white clipping, but still some black clipping on the “blue-green” square)

Hope, there is no quota, each NEF is about 40MB :smiley:
_DSC8047.NEF (40.8 MB)
_DSC8009.NEF (44.4 MB)

@Pata_Kreyp … this “blue-green” patch is normally clipped (red=0) when we use very small colorspaces (sRGB etc)
http://www.babelcolor.com/index_htm_files/ColorChecker_RGB_and_spectra.xls

See the RGB tab … at all small spaces this patch is clipped …

No worries for the job intented, because we use the “reference image for profiing” where no color conversion happens …

It would be better if you can upload a better exposure (-0.33 or 0) …

BTW can you supply “White frames” at all ISOs for your D800 ?.

edit:
By “White Frames” I mean very overexposed frames where all pixels are white clipped. I.e for a bright homogeneous frame, use auto exposure with +5EV (a display set to display pure white, and totally out of focus at medium aperture say f/5.6).
All ISOs I mean integer and intermediate … 50-100-125-160-200- … 51200 …

Ideally we need two sets one set with normal exposures and one set with long exposures and LENR set to ON … if two sets is too much upload only the LENR exposures

Use a cloud for uploading … and preferably precompress with 7z max compression to save bandwidth/time …

That would be a daylight color checker shot with the D810. It was shot on my balcony which in retrospective is fairly dumb because there is likely some indirect light leaking in. As there is no sun around at the moment I can’t take a fresh one. Also I don’t have a tungsten bulb at the moment. But maybe I can get one.

Anyway here it is:

Hah, that’s one hilarious typo. :slight_smile:

Straight from the Rawpedia page: Your balcony is not a good spot - the walls will reflect light and negatively influence the light spectrum, even if you can’t see that with your bare eyes.

:wink:

First, thanks for the info about clipping, I had totally forgotten about it.

Ok, no problem, I shot so many :wink:

Here is one at -0,3ev attached._DSC8020.NEF (43.3 MB)

Wow, I’ll need some time to do that :slight_smile:

@Pata_Kreyp for the white shots see this Adding Support for New Raw Formats - RawPedia

@ilias_giarimis you can use that link to avoid typing the same instructions every time. Let me know when you sign up for a RawPedia account so that I can give you edit permissions.

@Jonas_Wagner the shot works quite well and the DE values look quite good, I think we can use it. Would be great if you could get us a tungsten incandescent light bulb shot too.

Looks good :slight_smile: … but … if you have time available, can you to change the WL to R=G=B = 15700 in camconst.json and rebuild the dcp for D810 ?.

For D800 because we don’t have WL data in camconst.json we rely on Dcraw single WL (16383) which is wrong … I think it’s better to build the dcp taking reference data not straight from NEF but from it’s conversion to DNG … (waiting for D800 samples to build the camconst.json item …)

@Morgan_Hardwood, are these OK?

@assaft yes, I already committed a DCP: Added OLYMPUS E-M10 DCP from https://discuss.pixls.us/t/last-call-for… · Beep6581/RawTherapee@12e673e · GitHub

Here is are the shoots from my D600. I live fairly far north so the sun still has some angle to it. As for the tungsten I used a 500w old school photo bulb, But didn’t have a white space to shoot. Hope it’s still of use. If you feel its not a good example I can always drag some lights outside at night and get another shot. ND0_8796.NEF (25.0 MB)

I had given Beep6581 a daylight shot from the Fuji X-Pro 2. Just now I’ve uploaded a light bulb shot. See this thread: Fuji X-Pro 2 dcp submitted for review and integration · Issue #3269 · Beep6581/RawTherapee · GitHub

Huh, in this article, instructions are “making sure not to exceed an exposure time of 0.5s”, but ilias_giarimis asked me to make shots with LENR on, which only works for exposure time over 1s (according to D800 menu help and confirmed by tests).

So I took the series of shots with LENR with 2s exposure time instead of 0.5s in series without LENR.

All the shots (with or without LENR) were shot at +3ev.

Hope this is ok…

And I still have not found any tungsten lamp yet. The batch I ordered should be here on Monday or Tuesday, but I may not be able to get it before Saturday at Post Office.
