inCamera
is designed to help the photographer achieve consistent,
predictable color with any digital camera or scanner. Features an online
User Guide
that serves as a helpful tutorial for creating and properly integrating ICC
profiles into a color managed Photoshop workflow.
The Profiling Process
1. Simply open an image with one of the supported charts in the scene.
2. Select inCamera plug-in from Photoshop's Filters menu.
3. Position the appropriate flexible facsimile grid over the chart in the
image
4. Save the ICC profile.
5. Assign the profile to each image taken under similar lighting conditions.
The
mechanics
of creating a digital camera profile are quite simple. All you do is take a
picture any of the supported charts under the specific lighting conditions of
your photo shoot, open the image within Photoshop, launch inCamera from the
Filters menu, align the flexible
template over the chart in the image, and click Ok.
inCamera automatically creates a custom ICC profile by
comparing the colors captured by the camera to the known color values of the
chart. Then,
you simply assign the profile within Photoshop to all images shot under the
same conditions. As you can see, the profile not only dramatically improves
the shot visually, but transforms the each of colors of the ColorChecker
Chart squares with dead-on accuracy relative to the known Lab values.
Compare the
measurements of the second gray square from the right.
