Readers here know that much of my work on this website focuses on papers, printers and profiles (“PPP”) – and in particular how well they reproduce the image file values we create when editing the photos for printing.
Basiccolor display 5 update#
In the past, I demonstrated the use of the previous version of input (input 5) for profiling scanners ( ), so we intend to cover any update to this function as well. Christopher has gone to great lengths in using input 6 to profile his cameras, and is obtaining stunningly good results, so he will be the principal author of the future input 6 review. No one wants to fly from Shanghai to Pennsylvania for a studio visit only to discover that a work was misrepresented by a photograph that distorts its tonal scale or hue quality. Christopher, an accomplished artist, has a particular interest in input 6 for assuring the most accurate capture of his paintings, both for his own documentation, and so that they can be shared with dealers and potential collectors. Input 6 is designed for calibrating and profiling input devices (cameras and scanners), while display 6, as the name suggests, is for calibrating and profiling monitors. It has also upgraded “basICColor cockpit”, but further expected development of this application indicates we should wait a while before reviewing it.Ĭhristopher Campbell* and I have been testing and reviewing these products over a long enough period of time that we have come to understand how they contribute to good color management, so we thought we should share these insights with the PhotoPXL community in this review article. The two under the spotlight in this article are basICColor input 6 and basICColor display 6 (for short hereafter “input 6” and “display 6” basICColor uses lower case “i” and lower case “d” as the first letter in the names of these applications). As many readers may have known, basICColor, an important developer of color management solutions, receded into the ether for a while, but has now come back with important updates to three of its key color management applications.
Those familiar with the purposes and logic of an end-to-end color management set-up know that the capture device, the monitor and the printer should all be calibrated and profiled in order to assure expected and reliably repeatable colors in the final image format.
