  Select the 

Transform Type, Reference Illuminant, 

and

 Profile Type.

 

  Select the 

Training data

 for which the transform will be optimized. 

  Select the 

Test data

 on which the transform will be evaluated. 

  Click 

Start

 to calculate the color transform. 

  By default, the transform is applied to the 

Test

 

data

 and a split view of each color and the 

color difference is shown in the evaluation panel. 

 

Export

 the ICC profile and matrices, if desired. 

3.1.5  ICC profile evaluation module 

  Load a raw camera image. 

  Select a profile that was saved from the 

CCM / ICC profile creation

 module. 

  The color managed image will be shown for viewing on an sRGB-calibrated display. 

  Export the color managed image, if desired. 

 

4  OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 

4.1  Camera settings 

Set the camera to manual exposure mode, if available. To get best results the camera shall be 
able to save pictures as linear raw files. 

                               

Exposure program  

Manual 

Aperture  

No default value 

ISO Speed  

Lowest value (e.g.100) 

Auto focus

File type  

RAW 

 

 

4.1.1  Camera position and lenses used 

Place the camera in front of the filter plate. The principal axis 
of the lens must be aligned perpendicular to the center of the 
filter plate. Adjust the distance between the lens and the filter 
plate  such  that  the  filter  plate  occupies  approximately  two-
thirds of the field of view of the camera, centered. Avoid using 
wide-angle lenses, since there is a slight angle dependence of 
the  radiance  power  and  the  peak  wavelength  of  the 
interference  filters.  Using  lenses  with  higher  focal  distances  ensures  a  minimum  viewing 
angle.  Viewing  angles  below  15°  do  not  cause  noticeable  impacts  on  the  resulting  spectral 
responses. 

Note: Ensure that the filters are the only light sources that are captured by the 
camera. To avoid stray light or other light hitting the camera sensor the pictures 
should be taken in a dark room or the space between camera and the camSPECS 
device should be shielded.
