Hi,

I'm using the latest capture one version on a mac.

After creating a custom camera profile with inCamera (a photoshop plugin) I'm trying to make capture one use this icc profile.

But how? How can I upload the ICC profile so that it shows up in capture one?

Thanks,
Markus

  Put it in ~/Library/ColorSync/Profiles and restart Capture One 😊

  I tried it without the ~ so it is system wide, but it didnt work?! I was also trying to find the generic D700 profile, but couldnt find that either.

  The ~ is shorthand for your user's home folder, not the system wide folder.

  Thanks, will do. One more question: I'm doing a camera profile for the first time using the Colorchecker SG. Generally speaking, would you expect any improvement to the generic D700 profile provided by capture one? I mean, is the risk of me messing up the profile by applying incorrect lighting higher than the benefit to be expected from the custom profile vs. generic profile?

  Don't expect your first custom profile to be better than the profile CO4 puts into the program (at least my first efforts were not be published 😉 ).
  About the location of the CO4 delivered profiles: open the application package (Ctrl+click application, Show package); Contents/Resources/Profiles/Input

  I'd bet not even 2nd or 3rd... Markus252, what kind of software you are using to generate profiles ? just curious...

  I initially wanted to use the X-Rite software (which comes with the i1 display2) and upgrade to the camera module, but unfortunatly that wasn't possible (they only give you the software if you buy their more expensive hardware too).
  
  So I switched to Pictocolor inCamera. Creating the profile is pretty much straight forward, you shoot the target and then inCamera is a photoshop plugin, where you select the four corners and it creates the ICC profile out of it ...
