Calibrite ColorChecker / Datacolor Spyder Checkr Photo support

What problem do you see this solving?

When try toachieveaccurate color consistently I have always used my Colorchecker passport orSpydercheckr Photo with Lightroom. I have watched so many videos and read through forums and thereisn't adefinitiveanwser to why Capture One does not work with them. I reached out toCalibrite and Datacolor foranswers, they sent me their own work arounds. Neither of them work. SinceI now primarily use Capture One you would think with a software this advance, color accuracy andconsistencywould be apriority.

When was the last time you were affected by this lack of functionality, or specific tool?

Every timeI used the software

Current workaround

Are you using any workarounds or other solutions to achieve your goals in Capture One?

Currently there is not 100%workaround. I just use Adobe Lightroom whenI need to know my color is correct.

    Dear Capture One.

    What an amazing product you have with this one gap for use and support. While I hunt and peck and swear and wish the DataColor Spyder-Checkr were in fact supported, I'll figure it out the slow way. Sigh.

    This still happens to me too. Contrast is terrible and blacks are very off. The target is shot in the best conditions, no obstructions, even Soft lighting, EV’d with a lightmeter, and even spot metered on the grey neutral target as a backup.

    I have done this multiple time and different ways but my black do not come out correct and the colors are still off and all the contrast is gone.

    You need to create a custom ICC profile using a .tif file. Lightroom uses DCP profiles made from DNG files. The custom ICC profiling is a rather convoluted process, but there are several videos on youtube that demonstrate how to do it.  

    Capture One does not have an integrated ICC profiler.
