basICColor basICCaliCube
Dynamic Range and Calibrated Gray Balance Helper
Achieving critical digital photo accuracy requires control of the following parameters: well placed highlight values, deep/rich Dmax (shadow) values, neutral gray balance. The basICCaliCube offers all three functions in one calibration device. The item shows you absolute black, clean highlight values showing just noticable detail, specular highlight (255,255,255), and neutral midtone gray. With only 3 gray balance eyedropper clicks, you can optimize the image within Photoshop/Aperture/Lightroom/or RAW converter!
Absolute BlackNone of the competitive solutions provide an 'absolute black' for eyedropper end point selection. Because of the integrated light trap, pure black can be defined. |
Highlight ControlThe chrome ball provides specular highlight definition. Because of its 100% reflection, pure highlights can be selected. The white face of the cube also supports just noticable difference highlight (with detail) definition. |
Metamerism Free Gray BalanceNeutral gray under any lighting condition. The completely neutral gray face on the cube is based on the optimal 25% quartertone value. This equates to the standard print value of L*= 60. |
