DCcolor is strictly for professionals. It's not difficult to use, but as with any camera profiler, to fully exploit the program, you'll have to do a lot of work before you even launch it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll input profilers follow the same general principle -- they compare the captured RGB values of a physical color target with actual measured color values of the target's color patches, and then they build a profile that correlates the two. DCcolor offers more flexibility than some competitors by supporting three targets: the original 24-patch Macbeth ColorChecker and the newer 237-patch Macbeth ColorChecker DC, from GretagMacbeth, as well as the 528-patch HCT, from Hutcheson Consulting.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMDCcolor is very easy to use. A wizard interface steps you through choosing the target's reference file (containing the measurements of the color patches), loading the capture of the target, and cropping it so that DCcolor knows where the patches are. Then you click on the Build Profile button, and DCcolor builds the profile while providing some statistics on its accuracy, compared with the known values of the target. In short, the profile-building process is pretty much idiot-proof.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut the success of a camera profile depends on the capture of the target, and countless variables affect that capture -- such as lighting, on-camera exposure and white-balance controls, and the camera's capture settings. DCcolor offers some suggestions in its introductory screen and provides a more in-depth discussion in the PDF manual. If you shoot under controlled conditions but spend a lot of time correcting color postcapture, MDCcolor can be a real time-saver. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIncludes USB Dongle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor Windows \/ Mac [*Please review compatibility\/platform sections in 'What You Get']\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Monaco Systems","offers":[{"title":"Used In Box","offer_id":49616283304214,"sku":"37632","price":127.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0083\/0377\/1710\/files\/20133822646109ESTT2544ES.jpg?v=1735995461","url":"https:\/\/www.neverdiemedia.com\/products\/monaco-dc-color","provider":"NeverDieMedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
