As an additional step, if you find it necessary, you can further fine tune the RGB color channels along with the overall white point of the file. After tweaking your colors you can fine tune the curve of the image to achieve the exact baseline contrast you desire.ĥ. Once the baseline color values are established you can then tweak each individual colors hue, saturation and lightness in a very intuitive interface.ģ. The application is measuring the color patches from my X-Rite color checker chart against known numerical values for the colors.Ģ. Here is a screen shot of the first step of the process. The colors on the chart are known values that the application then uses in its calculations to establish a baseline calibration of your RAW file.ġ.

#ADOBE DNG PROFILE EDITORMAC HOW TO#
You can download the brilliant DNG Profile Editor application here and Adobe has posted a tutorial on how to use it here. With the introduction of the DNG Profile Editor, our lives are about to change for the better.įor the savvy reader out there you have probably been using the Adobe Camera Raw calibrator found on the Chromoholics website here to tweak your baseline colors to a truer tonality. Thanks to this website the camera calibration tab did more than languish in obscurity in Lightroom 1 and CS3 and became a very powerful and useful tool in my toolbox. With Adobe’s introduction of the DNG Profile editor, the camera calibration tab has been taken to a new level, and the calibration process takes about 30 minutes less than using the Chromoholics method. It is a little application called the DNG Profile Editor and it addresses one of the biggest complaints that everybody has with digital RAW files – the unprocessed RAW files lack of richness. While waiting for the digital delivery of Lightroom 2 earlier this week I was poking around Adobe’s site and stumbled across an application that excites me more than LR 2 – and let me tell you I am really excited about LR 2.
