ICC profile evaluation

The ICC profile evaluation module shows two windows with the same image. In either window, an ICC profile
may be selected, applied to the image, and the image converted to sRGB for display on an sRGB-calibrated
monitor.
1. Load Image selects a raw test image captured under the same illumination for which the ICC profile was
computed. The image will be opened and converted from raw to white-balanced, 16-bit, linear RGB. If
checked, the half-size image option reduces the image size for faster processing and viewing.
2. The ICC profile directory selects the directory where ICC camera profiles are located or saved in the
Color Transforms module. Always select the directory for each use to refresh the contents and enable
Use Profile TRC. Select Display Profile allows the selection of the ICC profile of a calibrated monitor for
which a color-managed match is desired. If this profile is not specified, matches to sRGB are produced in
this module based on the assumption that an uncalibrated monitor will be similar to the sRGB standard.
3. ICC profile test image 1 selects from a list of ICC profiles. To view the raw image, select None.
4. ICC profile test image 2 selects from a list of ICC profiles. Select the ICC profile created in the Color
Transforms module to view the image color managed for viewing on an sRGB device. The color-
managed image has the camera color transform, and the display tone reproduction curve is applied.
Toggling amongst the profile, None, or Use Profile TRC allows separate visualization of the effect of both
components.
5. Export image saves the white-balanced, 16-bit, linear RGB image with the ICC profile embedded.
