CC24 vs CCSG CIELab values

March 4, 2020 JimK 14 Comments

The last two posts have been about my experiences using the X-Rite CC24 and CCSG targets and X-Rite’s Color Checker Camera Calibration program with both diffuse and direct solar illumination. I found anomalies between the two targets, which I thought might be related to lighting and glare. But today I discovered that, even with the… [Read More]

Profiling a GFX 100 with X-rite CC calibration, part 2

March 2, 2020 JimK 9 Comments

Warning! This post was created before I realized that the CC24 patches in the CCSG had different values than the CC24 patches in a real CC24 target. https://blog.kasson.com/the-last-word/cc24-vs-ccsg-spectra-and-cielab-values/ Yesterday I posted about my experiences using the X-Rite CC24 and CCSG targets and X-Rite’s Color Checker Camera Calibration program in diffuse illumination. Before that test, I… [Read More]

Some of the patches are duplicates,… [Read More]

Field Curvature on the Fuji 45-100/4

February 29, 2020 JimK 1 Comment

Inspired by Hamiltonian on DPR, I applied Roger Cicala’s field curvature visualization method (Photoshop: Filter -> Stylize -> Find Edges) to the 45-100/4, at putative focal lengths of 45, 60, 80, and 100mm:       Top left is 45mm, top right is 60mm, bottom left is 80mm, and bottom right is 100mm. The top… [Read More]
