[QUOTE="Felisek, post: 349222, member: 23887"] Imagine you are taking portrait photos using studio lights and want perfect skin colour. You take one picture of your model holding the colour checker card. Then you continue with your work. In post processing, you use software provided with the card (I think Adobe also made software that works with Xrite) and use it on the picture with the card in it. The software (in theory) recognises where the colour squares are, measures them and builds a profile. Your camera already have some profiles: standard, portrait, vivid, landscape and so on. Profiles are used to convert raw files and contain information about white balance, colours and intensities. In an ideal world your custom profile will provide perfect colour calibration source for the given light setup. You can create individual custom profiles for different environments. [/QUOTE]
