Process consistency with regards to illuminant, lens, exposure, raw processing, any other processing, etc. is crucial for shooting the multiple targets used to build the input profile... AND equally crucial when actually using the resulting profile. There's a lot that can go wrong if you aren't meticulous about process control! - Brad -----Original Message----- From: argyllcms-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:argyllcms-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Ben Goren Sent: Wednesday, October 08, 2014 11:38 AM To: argyllcms@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [argyllcms] Re: Very poor results with 1000+ patch target.

Yes, since building my last chart, I've come to realize that it's a much better idea to make many small charts for camera profiling rather than a single big one. Care is needed in choice of illuminant, as well as maintaining consistence across both exposure and development. Unless you're photographing the charts in immediate sequence, you're setting yourself up for an extra helping of fail. b&
