Our Method
– 600 samples tested (Xrite SG has 140 samples )
– Two main illuminants d65 and StdA (only on DNG basic )
– Different transformation than the Bradford model used by Adobe for the d50 calculation.
– For DNG basic the internal forward matrix is limited in the Prophoto/ Human Locus in order to avoid posterizations.
– Looktables and ICC (Capture One Basic) are adjusted to be relative to any different contrast curve.
– Transformation model CIECAM02 (better tonal separation)
– Proprietary main colourimetric stadium, to build profiles we use DcamProf.
Sensitivity metamerism index,
a number that says everything.
ADOBE D65 ISO 17321: 65
COBALT D65 ISO 17321: 79
The sensitivity metamerism index (SMI) is an essential measure of a camera’s ability to reproduce accurate colours, as defined in ISO standard 17321.
To assess the colour response results of your camera, you can find numerous reviews online using a standard Color Checker of 24 patches (on the left). However, our test uses the impressive HR-1 target with 1131 patches (on the right) and a Sony A7rii camera.
It’s important to note that modern cameras have excellent colour quality, and it’s the colour profiles that make the real difference. So, forget about the old-school phrase “this camera has better colours” and educate yourself about the impact of colour profiles. Trust us; it will revolutionize your photography!
