input targeting

input targeting (In French calibrage d’entrée) creation of so-called characterization data of input devices, in the course of which these photograph/scan a test chart (ISO 12641: transmitted version IT8.7/1, reflected version IT8.7/2) and compare the RGB data of the color fields in the image file (actual data) with the target data of the test chart using suitable software. These data can be used to create ICC input profiles which can later be embedded in all image data created by these devices. The software basICColor input contains not only ISO test charts but also proprietary targets (HutchColor, ColorChecker, ColorChecker DC/SG, basICColor dcam target+) and can, among other things, create its own targets, edit special colors and retain the camera gray balance values.
