These figures indicate the color-error of various camera profiles used in Lightroom 2.0 and Adobe
Camera RAW 4.5+ as computed by Imatest for images of a Color Checker with a Canon 450D/XSi: • Adobe DNG Profile Editor dual-color custom profile, • Adobe DNG Profile Editor single-color custom profile, • Adobe Standard profile, • Adobe ACR44 profile pre-Lightroom 2, • QImage is another RAW converter using dcraw, • Tindemans Photoshop script custom-calibration, • Various new Adobe camera-match profiles. Color-error is indicated by the length of the line between the circle and the square for each of the 24-color-patch points on the graph. Saturation error is a deviation from the center. Hue error is a rotation. The DNG Profile Editor custom profile contains a 2850K color-table computed from a 2700K image and a 6500K color-table computed from a 6500K image. I typically use this dual-color-table profile for my images, except for arena lighting, sunset, twilight and a few other scenarios. The caption for each image indicates the color temperature of the lighting on the target (2700K or 6500K), the overall color-error in parentheses, and the color-profile used with the image.
