Best way to color calibrate for camera?
I'm using gimp to edit photos from a sony alpha camera. I'm using sony's raw import tool, to generate a tiff which I then pull into GIMP.
I've gotten my hands on a munsel chart, aka an xrite color passport. What is the best (free) way to adjust colors based on that?
I would have thought creating an ICC profile to convert the image to, would be best... except that there doesnt seem to be any good free way to do this. I did find "dcamprof".. but the instructions there are so horribly confusing and long, I cant follow them. One might almost thinks this is deliberate, since he sells a commercial layer on top of the free stuff, to provide an easier method.
So can anyone suggest a more straightforward process that will result in a consistently color calibrated image?
(PS: yes my monitor is already calibrated)
