re: Reader Question: Camera Profile in Adobe Camera Raw

This page evaluates white balance and tint for the Sony A1 using a SpyderCHECKER® color checker card to evaluate the appropriate white balance and tint in the Adobe Camera Raw 13.2.0.738 dialog in Photoshop CC 2021 22.3.0.

Since Adobe Camera Raw is a shared code between Photoshop and Lightroom, the figures will apply regardless of which program is used.

Every Photographer Should Have a Color Checker Card to Establish Neutral White Balance and Tint for Each Camera and Lens Brand Combo.

An about $134 DataColor SpyderCHECKER was used for this evaluation.

I use the clamshell version so I can safely carry it without damaging the patches. Mini versions are available too. Be sure to read my notes on how to use it in the evaluation.
