Custom Color Profiles From Creo Leaf and GretagMacbeth

Digital camera back supplier Creo Leaf has partnered with GretagMacbeth, the color-solutions provider, to provide Leaf users with the ability to customize ICC color profiles to fit different lighting conditions based on the shooting environment.

Two modules from GretagMacbeth's ProfileMaker 5 Pro suite of color-management software”?the Digital Camera module and the Profile Editor module–have been integrated into the latest Leaf Capture application used with Leaf camera backs. The resultant custom color profiling allows photographers to compensate for the specific lighting available for any single shot. Plus, the editing capability allows the photographer to tune the colors to match specific requirements based on the subject, the output, and the client preferences.

“The addition of the ProfileMaker 5 Digital Camera and Editing modules”?will give professionals using Creo Leaf digital cameras the possibility of creating ICC profiles for their Leaf backs and of fine-tuning both preset Leaf ICC profiles and profiles created with ProfileMaker,” says Mark Geeves, vice president of global business development for GretagMacbeth.
