Quick, Easy, and Affordable Camera Profiling
MonacoDCcolor is the ideal digital camera profiling solution, created with professional photographers in mind. Profiling your digital camera allows you to seamlessly integrate digital shots into your ICC color-managed workflow. MonacoDCcolor works in conjunction with industry standard targets, which have been specifically developed for use with digital cameras to produce the highest quality digital camera profiles available. Digital camera profiling ensures that digital captures will look their best and match your scene colors. As a result, you will spend less time retouching images to recover the original colors. MonacoDCcolor is the perfect accompaniment to any color managed workflow that already includes monitor and output profiling.

Step 1: In a studio setting, set up your
scene. Place the input target in a central
location within the scene, so that its position is parallel to the camera's film back.

Step 2: Configure the camera so that the
input target fills the viewfinder and capture
the target. Save the cropped target as a TIFF file.

Step 3: Open the image in MonacoDCcolor, crop the target, and create the profile.

Step 4: Use the profile statistics to
determine the camera profile quality and
make any appropriate adjustments to the
camera settings to improve profile results.

Step 5: Now save the profile and begin
shooting with confidence!
