Calibrite ColorChecker / Datacolor Spyder Checkr Photo support
What problem do you see this solving?
When try to achieve accurate color consistently I have always used my Colorchecker passport or Spydercheckr Photo with Lightroom. I have watched so many videos and read through forums and there isn't a definitive anwser to why Capture One does not work with them. I reached out to Calibrite and Datacolor for answers, they sent me their own work arounds. Neither of them work. Since I now primarily use Capture One you would think with a software this advance, color accuracy and consistency would be a priority.
When was the last time you were affected by this lack of functionality, or specific tool?
Every time I used the software
Are you using any workarounds or other solutions to achieve your goals in Capture One?
Currently there is not 100% workaround. I just use Adobe Lightroom when I need to know my color is correct.
Are you happy to be contacted further about this suggestion or request?
Yes

You need to create a custom ICC profile using a .tif file. Lightroom uses DCP profiles made from DNG files. The custom ICC profiling is a rather convoluted process, but there are several videos on youtube that demonstrate how to do it.
Capture One does not have an integrated ICC profiler.

I have done this multiple time and different ways but my black do not come out correct and the colors are still off and all the contrast is gone.

This still happens to me too. Contrast is terrible and blacks are very off. The target is shot in the best conditions, no obstructions, even Soft lighting, EV’d with a lightmeter, and even spot metered on the grey neutral target as a backup.

Dear Capture One.
What an amazing product you have with this one gap for use and support. While I hunt and peck and swear and wish the DataColor Spyder-Checkr were in fact supported, I'll figure it out the slow way. Sigh.
