Analyze color and grayscale test charts in a fixed batch-capable module Color/Tone Auto (formerly Multitest) incorporates all calculations in Color/Tone Setup, Colorcheck, and Stepchart.  News–  Imatest 2020.1  We have added support for the TE269V2 dynamic range chart. Imatest 5.2: We’ve changed the name Multitest to Color/Tone Auto, but we’ll continue to use Multitest for a while (for example, for Imatest IT). Imatest 5.1: (starting December 2018)  The exposure error calculation has been improved to be more consistent over a range of contrast (gamma) values. Details here. Color/ToneSetup and Color/Tone Auto can now measure temporal noise and SNR. With this enhancement, these two new modules have […]

Algorithms and reference formulas This page contains algorithms and reference formulas for Colorcheck, Color/Tone Setup and Color/Tone Auto. It’s mostly in green text because it’s all math.   RGB to CIELAB (L*a*b*) – Color temperature – Color difference formulas – CIE 1976 – CIE 1994  – CIEDE2000 –  Delta-C – Color ellipses(ΔC ab, ΔC 94, ΔC 2000) – Color difference visualizer – Chroma correction (corr)  Algorithm – Grayscale and Exposure error (fix in 5.1+) Background reading:  We frequently get difficult questions about color spaces, color space white points, illuminants for measuring CIELAB reference files, color temperatures for measuring images, how to transform between them, […]
