I’m pretty new to colour management I have calibrated monitors before but now I want end to end Camera to Monitor Calibration is this the correct way to do it using Photolab 6, ColorChecker Camera Calibration and X-Rite iprofiler pro…
-
Firstly I calibrate my monitor (in my case a Dell XPS15) using the X-Rite iprofiler and use that profile to manage my colour in windows and any other photo software.
-
Secondly I create my camera DCP profile by…
-
photographing a Calobrite ColorChecker Passport noting the Camera Body, Lens and Lighting Colour e.g daylight, overcast etc
-
load the RAW file of the Colorchecker Passport taken with my camera into Photolab 6 then select “No corrections” as my profile then export as a DNG
-
take the DNG and drop it into Colorchecker Camera Calibration tool and create a DCP profile for that Camera / Lens / Lighting Combo
- To use the DCP profile…
-
load a photo taken under the same conditions as above Camera / Lens / Lighting Combo into Photolab 6
-
apply standard DXO Optical Corrections only (maybe also noise reduction)
-
under Color Rendering load the above DCP profile
-
then to adjust for monitor calibration load the monitor calibration for my Dell monitor into the Soft Proofing ICC Profile
Is this the correct way? Have I missed anything? Any help greatly appreciated!!
Many thanks
Andrew
