This all seems so easy doesn9t it?
I am sure I should respond more regularly, but time doesn9t always permit
it.
Firstly..............
Remember the panic/thrashing of the ideals of "matchphrases" of a couple
weeks ago here? I did respond, and there will be an upgrade to DCAM users.
No one would ever abandon their loyal client base.
I am here to say "YES" there will be an upgrade path for DCAM users and it
will be "Dongle" protected.
Details are not being held back, they are being posted as they are
available, and correct the first time out. This should minimize all peoples
confusion, past, present and future.

Speaking as probably the first authorized reseller/trainer in North America,
circa 1994, for Phase One, Imacon, ColorBlind, and yes......PROFILE
CITY/basICColor we have done a "bit of research" on how high end digital
camerabacks behave.
After many months of cooperative testing (going way back), specifically
cameras, with Franz Herbert we developed a methodology with was incorporated
into a "Knock Your Socks Off" product called ColorBlind. That was 1995. It
used the MacBeth card (24 patches). During the past seven years we have
watched, tested approaches, even pulled a lot of hair out (for those who
have met me, you know what I mean) and re-tested and co-developed again.
Basically we need to understand that camerabacks are way more than some
"scanner on a stick", and the dynamics of "Live Set" photography have many
"emotional" definitions of accurate.
The ColorEyes product has many "code" enhancements and a comprehensive "how
to guide" and live people to talk you through your issues with your cameras.
Regarding the DCChecker(224patches) versus the MACBETH(24
patches)............here we go...........
The DC worked "ok" in our opinion with DCAM and other products. Sorry,
we're not shooting for OK here. We are shooting for the best! Also, sorry
since I am not here to slam any manufacturers product, that9sall I need to
say regarding the DC Checker. Specifically, over the years remember all
the threads on how many patches to make a good printer profile? It isn't
only quantity. It is more about the "right" colors.
Just about everyone owns a MACBETH card that owns a camera, or they are
about to buy one. Quite frankly our testing shows favorable results for the
MacBeth over DCChecker.
More good news????? They are much more affordable and WIDELY AVAILABLE.
Camera operational software has more to do with this the target itself.
The goal of the ColorEyes product is straightforward..........A product that
anyone can use to make a stellar camera profile. Regardless of type of
camera or lighting preference. It is not software for your old umax, nor
your 3900 Drum, nor your monitor or printer. It is not an "Oh by the way
lets do cameras too", Its just for cameras.
Thank you for taking the time
