I've been trying to get a handle on this color checker passport. I've followed the manual so far as I can tell. I take a photo, with auto white balance, careful not to clip the any of the colour channels and hilights.

So I just did another 15 mins of experimenting, I'm noticing it might only be screwing up like this when I go to save over an existing profile. I have no idea why that would affect it though. I still feel like it's just a pot luck. Doesn't seem to matter whether I use the Lightoom Plug in or the standalone application (not using the dual illumination method until I get the single one sorted.)

Where can I upload it? What would you look for in the Raw file that I can look for and relay onto you?
 
I'm pretty sure it was an issue only when I went to replace an existing file with the same name. Haven't had the issue since. Bizarre.

There are many things that may went wrong, and not only with the raw file, but also with the workflow while creating a profile.

Not, it would appear, if you have questions. The QP people are completely unresponsive. I'm not sure they're still alive.

And, just as a matter of interest, profiling with QP is no faster or slower than with X-rite and its software or with the X-rite card with Adobe DNG Profiler (although I'm not sure the last is still up to snuff). They all involve essentially the same process.

Not so sure. To begin with, one needs to set lights correctly when shooting targets. Even IR and DPR do not get that part good enough.

no problems at all. used it since many years for my Canons and Nikons

what do you mean with even IR and DPR do not get that part good enough?

what about lighting set up?

It is wrong and inconsistent. Exposure is also not suitable for obtaining optimal results.

Mikael, but I said what I mean. No offense, but I'm not sure how to make it clearer.

IR light corses an error of 005+- dE when using color checker, qp 203 compare to perfectly d50, hardly one of the biggest problem with color calibration

Compute a profile from CC24 on an IR shot, apply it to CC SG from the same shot, see dE2000 protocol.
