Is there an automated way of color correcting using a color card in Capture One?

With the X-Rite Colorchecker Passport and their accompanying software, it's really simple to generate a DNG profile to get perfectly accurate colors in Lightroom.

I want to know if there's a similarly automated way of perfectly correcting colors—via the X-Rite Colorchecker or any color reference—in Capture One. Here's the workflow I am looking for:

1. Set up lighting.



2. Take a shot of the color card.


3. Do the photo shoot.


4. Import photos into Capture One.


5. On the shot of the color card, adjust white balance by clicking on a grey square.


6. On the same shot of the color card, do some magic to perfectly align colors.


7. Apply to these adjustments to all the remaining shots.

It's that magical step six that I'm looking for. I've seen how to do this manually. I'm wondering if there's an automated (fast, repeatable) way of doing this.

(I'm fully aware that Capture One uses ICC profiles only and X-rite instead outputs DNG profiles.)

Answer

You need to use X-Rite's i1Profiler software. Unlike the ColorChecker Passport software, it can create ICC profiles from the ColorChecker that Phase One can use. It looks like it only comes bundled with one of the X-Rite i1 products.
