Since then, basICColor has been working hard to develop advanced features that make the Pro version of this software arguably the most sophisticated monitor calibration and profiling package available. Quite apart from features, it produces excellent profiles, which for most of us will be exactly what we need. Insofar as I have already reviewed the version without these extended Pro features, this article concentrates on the latter. The bother is – especially if you make prints – that you really should want a color management chain from monitor to printer that provides a reliable perception on the display of what will come out of the printer. This just avoids tons of disappointment and waste over issues such as prints that are persistently too dark, too light, too saturated, not saturated enough, and so on. The front-end of this color management chain for image processing is monitor calibration and profiling. The importance of this came home to me yet again as I was printing a set of B&W photos I made from a photoshoot in the Goreme region of Turkey. For this set of photos, in particular, it was truly important that the prints have exactly the tonality on paper that appeared under softproof when I completed the image adjustments as they looked on the display. I provide several samples here so you can appreciate what I mean (figures 1, 2, and 3). Goreme – Cave Suites © Mark D Segal Figure 2. Goreme Region, Turkey © Mark D Segal Figure 3. In each of these photos, the adjustments and reproduction of tonality are demanding, in order to preserve highlight detail, shadows with the desired amount of detail, and midtones with good modeling of forms and correct rendition of tonal gradations, especially skies. To achieve this, a properly calibrated and profiled display is essential. The viewing of photographs is subjective and context-specific, depending on our visual perception, the ambient light surrounding our photo editing environment and the viewing light reflected from the prints. The greater the extent to which display calibration and profiling can be managed to take these factors into account, the more consistent will be the perception of the photograph between monitor and print. This is where basICColor display 6 software excels, particularly with the new Pro features.
