Integrated native DCP/ICC profiler

What problem do you see this solving?

An integrated native DCP/ ICC profiling tool would give photographers and techs working with color critical imaging more control over delivered files. As of now, there is no way to make a DCP profile compatible with Capture One. An integrated profiling system similar to the one built into Phocus, would assure accurate color every time in all scenarios.

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

Everyday of the week for the past 10 years.

Current workaround

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

We currently use various third-party ICC profiling software, although they can be frustrating to use and less than precise than a profiling system build for the workspace.

    Hi Shark - I have developed a precise camera color characterization routine with Capture One's color engine (20/21) that achieves routine color accuracy with CFA-sensor cameras (& qualified smartphone cameras) - my average with a series of 15 DSLR/mirrorless cameras [Canons, Nikons, Sony, 1 Fujifilm XT4] is 0.38 dE*00 (avg) 0.49 dE*00 (max); [smartphone cameras a bit higher] - the profile accuracy is in the range of ~0.05 to 0.03 dE*00; then encoding to Working RGB (Adobe98) the camera color response is ~0.38/0.49 (avg/max) -- this is not a Capture One product or service - I use Patch Tool color analysis to validate the color differences (also work with ColorThinkPro; Raw Digger; etc) - 1.0 dE*00 represent the threshold of color difference perception (normal human color perception); so the goal is to achieve < 1.0 dE*00 for both avg & max to eliminate color correction editing in post -- conventional camera color profiling tends to be based on Pleasing Color objectives due to a number of technical limitations - to evaluate a camera's color response under a given capture condition, shoot a color references (ie: CC24 target) & compare the target colors vs the camera color in Patch Tool - connect with me via LinkedIn for more info - my page has the Porsche images on the banner - Glenn Martin - Las Vega  USA

    Hi Shark, 

    Thank you for your request.

    We currently don't have plans to integrate a color profiling system into Capture One.
