Calibrating Camera Raw files YOUR Camera (cont.) We discussed how to apply the calibration values found using Tom Fors calibration. We created subsets to apply the calibration to RAW files already adjusted and save "new" Camera Raw Defaults including our newly created RAW calibration for our cameras. One interesting finding was a from a Forum member who has 2 camera of the same model found the calibration for each was very different. This supports the fact that the difference in calibration setting is due to the unique color-coating on our camera chip to extend it from its inherent red sensitive range to the entire spectrum.
