Color Bars for DSLR Monitor

[Richard Harrington]

Make sure you flatten the image.

Also turn off Color Management so you don’t change profile

Thanks.. the image WAS flattened… but how do I turn off color management?

When I hit save it asks me what JPEG quality level I want to use and if I should use baseline or progressive… I did not see that option on your video…

Please let me know and thanks for the tips!

[Richard Harrington]

Shouldn’t ask you for those options… but I’ll revisit more soon.

Color Management should be under edit menu

it still gives me the same error.

Can you PLEASE post the image here that you use – either for a 7D or 5D?

Thanks so much!

[Joseph Wilkins]

OK… now I’m begging… I have a shoot on Monday and need to calibrate’
thanks

I know this thread is dead, but I’m having the same issue did you ever figure out a solution?

[Jack Gyori]

Hey I figured it out! Just be sure to capitalize JPG when you save it back to the card! Cheers!

[Todd Fraser]

For me capitalizing .JPG did not help. I found saving from photoshop in the JPEG Options dialogue box, I set the quality to 12 (Maximum) and changed the format options to Baseline (“Standard”).

That did the trick for me on a 5D Mark iii

Has anyone had any luck making a color bars JPEG for a Nikon D800? I’ve tried several things starting with Richard Harrington’s tutorial. I get the same result – the camera cannot read the image.

I tried all the above and still no success using Canon D600. 🙁
