I have this nice camera that measure photons quite lineary over a large dynamic range (3000:1 or so) presented in a raw file. Exposure can even be shifted to cover different ranges with better SNR, and spatial samples can be averaged to improve SNR with regards to random noise. Can I use it to estimate (at least) the luminance-gamma at the bottom of the scale and/or estimate the error of my calibrator in this respect? http://clarkvision.com/articles/film.vs.digital.summary1/index.html <http://clarkvision.com/articles/film.vs.digital.summary1/index.html> > A lot of instruments aren't very accurate or stable near black. > > In some simple comparisons I've done, I've seen extreme differences > between different colorimeter instruments, sometimes of the order of 10-20 > DE > for saturated colors. > > Graeme Gill. > >
