I recently finished a video about using a color checker in the Color Calibration module and got an interesting comment about the normalisation values.
The fine manual says: ‘These are the settings that you should define, as-is, for the exposure and black level correction parameters in the exposure module, in order to obtain the lowest possible error in your profile.’
I understood this as you have to copy the values presented in the Color Calibration module, ‘as-is’, into the Exposure module. A fair interpretation I would think.
However, the comment suggested that I should have added/subsctracted the values. e.g. if the original ev was +0.5 and Color calibration normalisation value was -0.3 then the correct final value in the Exposue module should be +0.2. That makes a lot more sense.
Is the user manual wrong or did I just misunderstand it?
SInce there will likely always be some exposure value present maybe a numerical example of the application of the normalization values would be a simple add so if you are at 0.5 and the comp value is -0.9 then set exp to -0.4 EV. …something like that??
