basICColor Input software
camera profiling software, scanner profiling software
In the quest to achieve critical colour accuracy from your digital camera or scanner files, basICColor Input software is invaluable.
Good input profiling software properly analyzes the captured camera or scanner target thus it determines the reproduction characteristics of the camera or scanner and encapsulates this information into an ICC profile. An accurate ICC profile enables the removal of camera or scanner idiosyncrasies, helping eliminate unnecessary and repetitive colour correction. Professional results can be achieved using this higher quality data, with quicker turn-around times. ICC camera and scanner profiles can both be "tuned" and the workflow semi automated, achieving optimal workflow.
multi-target profiling
The unique multi-target profiling feature of basICColor input allows the user to combine several captured target images into one profile. Reproduction of paints, textiles, non-standard media and use of diverse colourants may require this additional characterization. The resulting ICC input profile reduces metameric failure.
batch profiling
Architectural, fashion, industrial photographers and others, may shoot under a wide range of lighting conditions. With basICColor Input, a family of ICC profiles can be produced, based on a single target capture - the resulting varied profiles can accurately compensate for diverse lighting situations and can be created using basICColor Input's lighting options and automated batch processing. Now the photographer can select the correct ICC profile for each of various lighting situations.
spot-colour correction
Whether including a logo colour, important corporate identity element, or architectural element which demands absolute matching, the unique qualities of basICColor input will aid in making a customised ICC profile, used to achieve best quality results from the image.

additional functions of input pro, for even more control over profile making for your camera:
The automatic profile optimization can be switched off for special effects.
Shading when shooting your target eliminates uneven lighting and vignetting of your lenses.
Quality control according to Metamorfoze, FADGI***, FADGI**** and ISO standards and custom criteria allow for documentation of your work, especially in cultural heritage environments.
Allows for shading for profile generation. when shooting a target eliminates adverse effects in profile creation of uneven lighting and vignetting of lenses.
Profile quality is enhanced with ‘shading’ by capturing a clean white backing before shooting the target.
Profile Editing - input Pro:
Color editing and gray editing allow for fine tuning of your profiles to an extent never known before.
input 6 Pro optimizes saturated colors automatically, italso allows editing of colors and grayscales manually. All edits will be stored in the active camera profile immediately. Viewing the original shot in a color managed application while editing allows for visualy and numeric control of the editing process. This process can be used this not only to improve reproduction of originals - more true to life, but also for creative retouching (colour and tonal manipulation) via camera profile.
Desired "looks" can be embedded directly into your camera profiles with the built-in colour and grey editing functions. This will save additional work in many cases.
