I like the quality of the images produced by Capture 4 (on this list
'the gold standard'), but the workflow with the current release, is
...just plain slow.
I realize that the CS release did not include a preset for the D2H but
it is my belief that CS could be 'tweaked' to duplicate the "look" of
Capture or perhaps bettered.
I started by downloading a IT-8 target, and photographing it off my
screen and then putting the electronic file in PS and the camera image
in ARC. Once I adjusted the WB and the density I compared each of the
colored squares numerically. This got me in the ball park.
I then compared (numerically) 6 images opened simultaneously in Capture
and ACR and adjusted the CS sliders accordingly.Finally I photographed a
printed IT-8 and adjusted the sliders accordingly.
I have no presets for WB, exposure, shadow or brightness as these need
to be set with each application. (CS generally ignores whatever was
set(WB) on your camera assigning one of two generic settings); PSCS
ignores everything else (tone, sharpening, color space, in fact
everything except exposure).
The results can be set and retained in ACR as a sub-set (little arrow
on the right); apply settings to an image then uncheck the first
four.(you'll see what I mean when you open the save sub-set dialog box)
Here are my findings: any feed back would be much appreciated ( I
concentrated on trying to 'fix' the reported aberrations in skin tone).
Contrast +35
Saturation +35
Sharpening +10
LS =0
CNR=0
Calibration
Red Hue +7
Red Sat -28
Green Hue +4
Green Saturation -24
Blue Hue -31
Blue Saturation -14
Output Color Space =Adobe RGB
