My early camera profiling work (can you say "Colorblind"?) :-) used the
ColorChecker. IMHO, not enough info to build a good profile.
The lighting instructions are indeed very important, but for a photographer
at least, they shouldn't seem "stringent". Actually pretty straightforward
once you understand the reasoning behind the setup. I also give them a lot
of credit for the careful selection of colors for their proprietary chart,
but I think the real genius lies in whatever the software "engine" does with
that data from the carefully exposed target capture. They seem to have
figured out the "pleasing color" vs. "colorimetrically accurate color"
conundrum. I don't know how, and I don't care. I'm just glad it works.
