Color Explorer • Free tools for working with digital colors Monitor Calibration for Photography Knowing how to calibrate your monitor is critical for any photographer who wants accurate and predictable photographic prints. If your monitor is not correctly reproducing shades and colors, then all the time spent on image editing and post-processing could actually be counter-productive. This tutorial covers basic calibration for the casual photographer, in addition to using calibration and profiling devices for high-precision results. Furthermore, it assumes that tossing your old monitor and buying a new one is not an option. Digital Image File Color Profile CalibratedMonitor The easiest (but least accurate) way to calibrate your display is to simply adjust its brightness and contrast settings. The images below are designed to help you pick optimal brightness/contrast settings. (1) Mid-Tones. © 2004-2012 Sean McHughNote: the above calibration assumes that your monitor is set to gamma 2.2. Note: increasing the brightness of your display too much can shorten its usable life span. Gamma 1.0

Quelle différence entre sRGB et Adobe RGB ? Tous les photographes savent que le profil Adobe RGB a un gamut plus large de le profil sRGB. Mais très peu savent cerner la subtile différence qui existe entre ces deux espaces colorimétriques pour faire le bon choix photographique. Qui peut le plus peu le moins ! Alors si Adobe RGB est un peu plus large que sRGB, pourquoi ne pas l’utiliser systématiquement ce qui évitera toute restriction de couleur. Simplement parce la limitation apportée par le sRGB n’intervient que dans certaines conditions et ne concerne qu’une plage restreinte de couleurs vives. Le rôle de votre écran dans ce comparatif Fig. 1. L’écran que vous avez devant les yeux est probablement comme pour 98 % des utilisateurs, un écran de milieu ou d’entrée de gamme, c’est à dire avec une gamme de couleurs équivalente au sRGB ou inférieure. La meilleure solution pour contourner la limitation de gamut liée à votre écran est de faire une simulation d’un écran à plus large gamme de couleurs. Constatation des différences Fig. 2.

5 Tools to Improve Your Idea Before You Write a Line of Code In my last post on ReadWriteStart, I talked about how, in many cases, it wasn't an advantage to build your start-up in stealth mode. As a continuation of that theme, I thought it would be interesting to explore five tools you can use to iterate and improve your startup idea before writing one line of code. There is nothing worse than building a tool no one is interested in, so I'd encourage you to consider these options before starting down the path of building your next startup. Specifically, these five tools can help you do three critical activities before starting to write a line of code: create a wireframe, get feedback from the target market and test value proposition through multiple landing pages. iMockups for Wireframing Concepts If a picture is worth 1,000 words, then a good mockup is worth 1,000 lines of code. Feedback on Concept from Target Market Once you've got a concept put together, it's often valuable to get some early feedback from your target market. Conclusion

Colour Accuracy « Howgreenisyourgarden's Blog I talked about accurate colour and its dependency on selecting accurate camera profiles in a previous article. I now look at the next logical step; creating my own camera profiles tailored to my camera/lens and the lighting conditions of each particular photo shoot. The problem with camera profiles. Using a camera profile for your camera is a step in the right direction, but as I have found since writing my previous blog on the subject, there are other issues to consider Each lens has different effects on colour. The magic of perfect colour Before looking at my solution, it would be instructive to show the results. Take a look at the images below. Mahonia Leaf Red Robin leaf Elaeagnus leaf At the end of the photoshoot for this sequence of images, I took a photograph that would later allow me to calibrate for colour. I can correct for colour inaccuracy of my camera body and the attached lens.I can correct for ambient light colour. X-Rite ColorChecker Passport Let’s stop to think what this allows.

Interactive Experiments Focused on HTML5 Using Lightroom camera profiles (and why Adobe Standard is a liability) « Howgreenisyourgarden's Blog One of the more tucked away features of Lightroom is the Camera Profile dropdown. It is right at the bottom of the develop module, under Camera Calibration. Lightroom Camera Calibration The Adobe Standard setting (which you will see if you have not made any changes to camera calibration) gives you ‘untouched RAW’; that is, without the effects of any camera post processing (colour correction, sharpening, etc). This is usually an accurate rendition of the raw data that came from your camera’s sensor and amplifier stage, but there are three potential problems; The final RAW will not look like the image you saw in your LCD in-camera. Even if you are happy with Adobe Standard for your camera (and many are), there are a couple of workflows you might miss unless you know about camera calibration; You want to concentrate on just taking good compositions in the field, and worry about styles later.

Animated gif editor and gif maker Maurizio Piraccini Photography: Sony (and Minolta) color profiles for Adobe Camera Raw and Adobe Lightroom - UPDATED I've created new Adobe Camera Raw and Adobe Lightroom color profiles (standard, faithful, landscape, leica, portrait, neutral, positive film, skin tone darker, skin tone lighter, vivid blue, vivid green, vivid red e vivid) for every Sony (and Minolta) interchangeable lens cameras: I've photographed, under the direct sunlight, a 24 color GretagMacbeth / X-Rite table, then, after converting the RAW to DNG, I've created the standard color profiles with Adobe DNG Profile Editor. Starting from the standard profile and using as reference the "non standard" Nikon, Canon and Leica's profiles, I've created the creative profiles. The standard profiles are accurate only for the A700, the A850, the A900, the A55V, the NEX-5, the NEX-5N, the RX100 and the RX100M2 (where I've photographed the color table with the corresponding camera), for the other cameras I've just used the best matching one. The profile files must be saved under the following folder (be aware that it could be hidden):
