I use inCamera Professional to profile a Betterlight Super 8k II.
inCamera is the best profiling package I've used but it it not perfect.
You will have to edit the profile for best results and then in many
(depending on how many custom profiles you want to make) cases do
follow up edits in Photoshop. You'll find many colors are very close
others way off. I use Profile Editor to edit my profiles. I use a
Spectrolino to measure colorants directly off the original artwork and
the Lch readings as a guideline to make selective color edits. You also
need a good eye for color, a light booth and/or proofing lights, a good
calibrated and characterized monitor, and lots of practice and
patience. inCamera gets the contrast, white black points, and gray
balance pretty much dead on. I use a standard Macbeth chart as my
target. I made my own measurement file. In my experience Profilemaker
makes awful camera profiles.
Good luck,
David Remington

Hi all,
we're going to use a similar scanning back (Betterlight Super6k) on a
research lab to photograph works of art (paintings and sculptures,
mostly),
using hi-frequency fluorescent lighting; does anyone have any
experience/comments on the use of Pictographics' inCamera Professional
or
ColorEyes' 20/20 profiling packages with this kind of camera / setup?
Or
any suggestions for another profiling software that should work best
for this?
Thanks in advance,
Paulo Baptista
