Icc Capture One



Capture One allows you to save your color edits into an ICC profile, you can reuse for photos with similar needs for color adjustments. Select the ICC profiles in the Base Characteristics tool, or when you shoot tethered in the Capture tool tab in the Next Capture Adjustments tool.

I watched the videos but still confused. My Setup: Dell XPS Desktop with Dell Monitor Calibrated with Spyder 3 express Canon MX 922 Printer. Images shot with either Nikon D300 or Nikon D7500 camers.

A unique feature for Capture One Pro 6 is the ability to create custom camera ICC profiles.

In Capture One Pro 6, you can make advanced color corrections on RAW or JPEG images. As with any tool in Capture One, you can save your corrections from the Color Editor tool as a Preset for easy reuse the next time you have a similar image in need of color corrections. But any color correction done in the Color Editor can also be saved as a camera ICC profile.

This is very convenient as the created ICC profiles can be selected directly in the Base Characteristics tool or in the Capture tool tab in the Next Capture Adjustments tool when you shoot tethered.

If you, for instance, are photographing food, you often want the food to look nice and more colorful than it really does. Use the Color Editor to tweak the colors and save the result as an ICC profile. The next time you shoot food tethered, just select the desired food ICC profile to correct the colors as you shoot.

The left image shows the colors from the default ICC profile for the camera. The soft cool light doesn’t give the apple a very appealing color. The right image was shot using the special ICC profile made for this particular lighting condition.

How to create a custom ICC profile for your camera

I open the Color Editor and start in the Basic tab to add some global saturation. The saturation slider in the Basic tab is safer to use as it is specifically designed to prevent oversaturation of the colors. Then I move on to the Advanced tab where I use the color correction picker to select the color of the green apple and push the saturation, hue and lightness until I get a fresh looking green color. When satisfied I save my corrections as a Color Editor Preset. This step is not essential, but it is easier if I need to iterate my color edits.

To create an ICC profile I simply click on the Action menu for the Color Editor tool and chose “Save as ICC profile” as shown below.

ICC profile naming

When creating a new ICC profile it is important to use the right naming convention to ensure that the profile will show up in the drop down menu for the used camera.

By default Capture One suggest a name consisting of

1) Unique camera model name

2) “-“

3) “color corrected” (This is the only part which can be changed)

The application uses the unique camera model name and the “-“ to match the ICC profile with the right camera model.

The last part of the name should be changed to a meaningful description of the profile.

In the example above, I save my Color Edits made on an image from a Canon EOS 5D camera changing the name to a meaningful one:

Next time I shoot tethered I can select this ICC profile directly in the Capture Tool tab in the Next Capture Adjustments tool. By doing this, I ensure that every new shot will show the colors exactly as I want them.

You are not restricted to working on a single computer when using ICC profiles. In this post I will show how easy it is to share these custom-made profiles with other computers.

When working with Sessions, the ICC profile will be included in the settings files located within the image folder. This ensures that you can move the image folder to another computer – and still have all the necessary components available for viewing the images exactly the same way on the other computer.

If you want to use a custom ICC profile on another computer running Capture One, you can simply import the profile.

How to import a Custom ICC profile from an image into Capture One

When viewing an image with a custom ICC profile on a different computer than where it was generated, you will see the image with the right colors, as the ICC profile is included in the settings folder inside the image folder.

But if you want to use the profile on other images, you need to import the profile. You find the camera ICC Profile selector in the Color Tool Tab’s Base Characteristics Tool. In the bottom of this selector, you find the Import option as shown in the image below. Select the images with the custom ICC profile and choose Import.

On a Mac system the custom ICC profile will be located in:

Users/UserX/Library/Colorsync/Profiles

The Library folder is hidden. To open it, make sure you are in the Finder, hold down the Option key, and then choose Go > Library.

On a Windows system the profiles will be located in:

Users/UserX/AppData/CaptureOne/Color Profiles

How to install a custom ICC profile on a computer:

If you want to use one of your custom ICC profile on a different computer, you need to copy it manually to the above locations depending on the system.

If Capture One is already running you will need to restart it in order to see the profiles in the ICC selector in Base Characteristics Tool.

If you do not follow the naming convention, the ICC profile will still be available but you will need to select it from “Other” rather than under the camera name.

For more information on the naming convention see my previous tip Tweak the default color look of your camera.
