Re: Color calibration software for Nikon Raw/NEF format You really need to learn to use an image processing program with color
management, Adobe Elements/CS2 or PaintshopPro. For real world color
management calibrating your monitor and using an image processing program
properly is more important than using calibration targets. Photographing a
target will provide calibration data only for the specific circumstances of
that shoot. For studio work that can be valuable but is irrelevant to
general photography. If you learn to shoot raw, and I do not see a reason to
use a dSLR otherwise (the D70 is a fantastic raw camera when you learn to
use it and software correctly), you will understand why photographing
targets is irrelevant apart from reproducible, controlled lighting
conditions. In reality trying to calibrate a scanner with specific targets
is not really necessary and, in fact, not reliable for general use, although
not everyone will agree on that. If you are shooting film under controlled
circumstances using the same batch that will be developed the same way then
including a calibration target on each roll can be helpful. However if you
understand color management that step may not prove all that useful.
