The Quest for Good Color - 1. Spectral Sensitivity Functions (SSFs) and Camera Profiles

If you've read my Article: Color Management in Raw Processing, you'll know that the whole color management chain starts with a profile describing the camera's tonality and color representation. This profile is essential to the chain, as the chain is a set of transforms that take the image from one colorspace and tone to another, and the first transform in the chain needs to know where the camera-produced data is in terms of color and tone. Tone from most modern cameras is "linear", that is, …

The Quest for Good Color - 2. Spectral Profiles "On The Cheap"

Note: This post is a follow-up to The Quest for Good Color - 1. Spectral Sensitivity Functions (SSFs) and Camera Profiles. A lot of terminology was established in that post, so reading it first will help in understanding the missive below… The economics of using spectral data for camera profiles is rather vexing. The predominant research, and the general opinion of the major practitioners, is that individual captures of monochromator-sourced single wavelength light is the best way to measure …
