I seem to remember some commercial software had this as a bullet point on
its feature list. When written in marketing-speak, with buzzphrases like
“optimize,” “customize,” and “enhance,” it sounds like the sort of thing
everybody would want all the time.
You’re right, in that what you’re remembering is the fact that, for
example, i1Profiler has had this as one of the new applications’ features
but it only works in i1Profiler using their complete workflow. Even if
you’d created a profile using Argyll, you wouldn’t be able to make use of
said i1Profiler feature as it requires a native i1Profiler profile to
perform the optimisation using a target chart made up from specific/image
related colours.
Not sure whether there are other profile creation apps which have this kind
of feature but then again, there are SO many different companies releasing
various profile creation packages that I’m guessing at least one or more of
them would (might?) have this kind of a feature also.
But, in general usage, it doesn’t seem to make all that much of an
improvement, at least in my experience. Perhaps if you’ve got some severely
out of gamut colours in the image you want to use to create a target, then
perhaps you may see an improvement but even then, I’d recommend checking
out something like ColorLogic ColorAnt which has a number of superb and
very useful functions such as: removing redundant patches, smoothing any
measurements which are clearly erroneous and are large outliers. Not to
mention the ability to compensate for OBC/FWA with a variable slider to
enable anywhere from 0-100% correction, and averaging function which allows
one to choose from several options as to how the average is calculated, an
excellent target chart oatch viewer, both 2D and 3D, with myriad options
for the range of colours to be operated on and also a really excellent
target chart creation tool which has a vast array of options for a quite
large number of instruments.
And before you ask, I’ve nothing to do with the company, just love their
software and have been using it for several years now.
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Aaron.
