Re: Use of ACR calibrator script with ColorChecker SG?

Hi

The GMB ColorChecker chart SG supposedly has the same colours as the
original chart in its centre section. But I've seen info suggesting that
this is not so...
<http://www.babelcolor.com/main_level/ColorChecker.htm>

The ColorChecker SG does have a version of the original 24 patch ColorChecker embedded in its layout in exactly the same relative positions as the original. However, since this is a semigloss chart and the original has a matte finish, the actual colorimetric values are different. So you will need a new set of colorimetric reference values if you are going to use it with any tool for the original ColorChecker.



Is it possible to use it with Tom Fors ACR calibrator script,
<http://fors.net/scripts/ACR-Calibrator/> or are the actual colours in the
middle section too different from the original? (I don't have an original to
compare)

You will need new values for this tool to work properly with the ColorChecker SG.



If they are too different, what's the best way to make use of the text file
with RGB and spectral data for the SG supplied by GMB with various Eye One
packages to get round this? The script contains RGB values in Pro Photo, so
some means of conversion... ??



Use a spectrometer (EyeOne, Pulse, Spectrolino, DTP-22, etc.) and a program to convert the spectra to RGB values (MeasureTool, SpectraShop, etc.), then replace the standard values in the reference text file with your new RGB values for the ColorChecker SG.
