![]() ![]() After that, select Show Target Grid, and align the corners of the grid that will appear with the plus symbols in each corner of your ColorChecker, as you can see in my screenshot. Next, select your target from the pulldown that says X-Rite ColorChecker SG in my screenshot. My image was 5757 Kelvin, so I chose D55. ![]() Also, select the Illuminant which is closest to the White Balance that you made a mental note of earlier. You will just need to hit the Load Image button and select the Linear TIFF that we exported first of the two. In the below screenshot it says Drop Image because I have already loaded the image when I captured this. Next, assuming you have already installed and licensed your copy of Lumariver Profile Designer, open it and select General-purpose ICC Profile, as you see in the next screenshot (right).Īfter that, click on the Load Image button under the Target dialog that should already be selected when you start Lumariver. I just selected Auto, and then exported a second copy of the image repeating the previous step, but this time appended the words Auto_Curve to the filename so that I can easily identify it as we proceed. No Color Profile from ICC Profile PulldownĪfter exporting your Linear copy of the image, go back to the Curve pulldown from the Base Characteristics panel, and this time select Auto, unless you usually select one of the other options, such as Film Standard. This is the part that will make your image look flat and much less colorful, so if it still looks OK, go back and check these last few steps. It’s also important here to select the Linear Response option from the Curve pulldown, below the ICC Profile pulldown. If you don’t see this option, click on the Show All option first. As you can see in the screenshot, under the Base Characteristics panel in Capture One Pro, you need to select No Color Correction from the Effects section of the ICC Profile pulldown. The next part of the process will make your image look crap for a while, but this is necessary, so let’s work through it. You can use this profile for a wide range of white balances, but to create it, we need to set that custom white balance in this way, and remember the kelvin value for later. Digital ColorChecker SG with Generic EOS R5 Camera Profileįor the sake of this process, note that I used the White Balance picker tool in Capture One Pro and selected one of the neutral gray cells on the target, and that set the custom white balance of the image to 5757 Kelvin and a Tint of -2.8. I exposed the chart in Manual mode and ensured that I pulled back slightly from the setting that started the white patches blinking with exposure alerts, so the base image is as bright as it can be without starting to overexpose, just as I shoot all of my images. I didn’t want to spend much time on this, so I didn’t cover it up or anything. Excuse the grubby outside air-conditioning unit that I placed the target on. You can use the ColorChecker Passport, but for my profile, I used the Digital ColorChecker SG that you can see in this photo, that I used to create my profile. There are other targets that you can use, but I recommend X-Rite’s as they are what I use. Preparing Your Photographįirst, you’ll need an X-Rite ColorChecker target. The instructions from Lumariver are clear enough, but in my humble opinion could be a little clearer and better illustrated, so here goes with my version. I went through the full steps, and in step 14 I used Alternative A to get the Capture One curve for my profile. There are a number of ways to create these profiles, and I haven’t tried all of them, but the main thing to note here is that I followed Lumariver Manual instructions for Making Capture One ICC Profiles, and did NOT use the simpler workflow for reproduction. OK, so it’s been a couple of years, and coincidentally exactly 100 episodes, since I reviewed and created a tutorial to help you to create camera profiles for use in Capture One Pro using the Lumariver Profile Designer software, and with my new EOS R5 sitting around without a custom profile, I figured I’d make one, and I was pleased to see that a few changes made to the Lumariver software have made the profiles easier to create than ever before!
