☉ The difference between Visual & Absolute Color?
☉ The difference between Visual & Absolute Color?
☉ What is the difference between the “Visual
Color” and the “Absolute Color” in
photo?
The
photo colors taken with the “Visual Color Position” and the
“Absolute Color Position” are quite different from each
other. The “Visual Color” is the color that
we are familiar with our naked eyes in daily life; while, the
“Absolute Color” is more close to the color revealed under the
standard lighting environments, such as under the 6500K
lighting in photo studio for example, free of tinted effect. Please
select which color position to use with to meet your photographic
needs.
Digital Cameras
come out with color cast photo frequently. These color cast photo
is the result of the camera color temperature calculation errors.
These colors are neither “Visual Color” nor “Absolute Color”.
It is simply in wrong color!

Filter”:
★ Latest 2014 U.S.
innovation. Its patent application was endorsed by
PCT within 46 days due to its unique insights and application on
physics and optics to solve the existing camera color
problem! It is a proud record. (March 7, 2014 –
April 22, 2014)
★ Concise design, well
structured, easy to use, instant results.
★ Get “Visual Color” or
“Absolute Color” photo from camera in one shot
directly!
★ Total new concept and
design to measure the white balance average value by
framing the scene to provide the most accurate compensation value
towards the camera gray card system.
★ Get the accurate color
temperature average value of the framed photographic scene through
a real optical filter instantly. In the mean time, the
camera color system is precisely calibrated for the scene
too!
★ Take mirror image photo
(JPG and/or RAW) in one shot directly! That reduces the steps
and time for PS post processing, and removes the troubles from the
color uncertainties. For JPG photo, that totally avoids
the photo image quality degrade from the color correction process.
An almost perfect color RAW would make the PS jobs much easier and
faster, such as color enhancements and art creations.
★ The first and only color
temperature adjustable calibration filter in the
market.
★ It turns the DSLR camera
into a perfect-matched color temperature meter which
receives a limited scale of incident lights from the shooting scene
through DCC Filter. Thus, the camera color system is calibrated to
its best instantly.
★ It uses the combined
application of optical theories of light guide phenomenon,
shading effect, color temperature isolation, color temperature
mixing, focusing and diffusion etc. creating an
unprecedented camera color calibration
filter.
★ A real optical filter is
used to calibrate the camera color system with the superior
calibration results.
★ Assembly design.
Each part can be easily detached and assembled while remaining a
proper damping effect to keep the barrels and filter cup in
relatively stable position to maximize the users’
flexibility.
★ With its adjustable
stepless directivity barrel design, it can help the photographers
to shoot mirror image photo that conforms to the real scene in one
shot. Moreover, it can take photo out of all objects in “Absolute
Color,” including the “Absolute White”!
★ Its length-adjustable design
makes it perfect to fit the photography framing perspective
needs of wide-angel, standard or telephoto
lenses.
★ RAYNAULD™ DCC Filter is
applicable across various brands of cameras and
lenses that makes it a very worthwhile investment for fine
photographing.
★ The telescopic tube design makes
storage easy and the use of flexibility indoor and
outdoor.
★ The height is only 4.0 cm after
the contraction. Light, portable and convenient
storage. A special package make it easy to attaché the
filter onto a belt or backpack’s shoulder strap. It is easy to use
and doesn’t interfere with body movements.
★ Adjusting the length of the
telescopic tube and the position of the cup filter, the user
can fine-tune the white color compensation value to
customize the color temperature differences on the nature of
different lenses.
★ Avoid the wrong color
temperature measurements from the unnecessary highlight and intense
colors outside the shooting range.
★ Provides the camera with
the most accurate camera gray color system compensation value to
shoot photos with almost perfect color.
★ When using the manual white
balance setting, the camera build-in AWB is no more working. It
can reduce the camera CPU usage rate from the
intense computation burden of AWB while improves camera performance
and system responses. That might extent camera service life
with less overheats problems.
★ Easy to use. Mount
-> Set Manual White Balance -> Take Off. Cover
the front end of the lens with the Filter when doing the manual
white balance settings. Once the settings are done, the filter can
be removed immediately. The retractable telescopic structure makes
it ease to adjust the filter poison to match the view angles of the
lens to achieve the best color temperature compensation
value.
★ The intensity of ambient light
illumination affects the color temperature average value through
the filter. Thus, the color temperature average value can be
adjusted through the adjustment of the position of the filter cup
within the black barrel. There are two kinds of light guide
panel width structures on filter cup to adjust the
intensity of ambient light illumination. There are many
radiation type semicircle points which are designed to enhance the
light diffusion to provide camera gray card system with more
precious compensation value in order to shoot for color perfect
photo or video with mirror image effect.
★ The unique patented design can
fine-tune the color temperature of the photography scene with
the main light source and illumination ratio to
match the eye visual sense and personal preferences.
★ For individual camera color
temperature compensation design is not competently set, the color
temperature adjustment mechanism of “RAYNAULD™ Directivity Color
Calibration Filter” can be used to for further
fine-tuning of the device to get the highest level of
photographic color reproduction of the scene.
★ The different lens
structures, materials and coatings will affect the color
temperature of light ray that passes
through the lens. “RAYNAULD™ Directivity Color Calibration Filter”
can be used to fine-tune the variety caused by the lens for the
camera gray card compensation system.
★ Personally designed by
the inventor himself. The DCC Filter carries more new features and
functionalities beyond the original patent
applications.
★ Effectively resolve the
color temperature calculation errors of all cameras AWB in a
variety of different scenarios.
★ The light can be guided
to the filter through the light guide panels on the filter cup
indirectly to avoid the direct exposure of the main light
on the main filter that is in full compliance with the diffusion
phenomena of environmental colors. With that, it can provide the
most accurate compensation value to the camera gray card system to
shoot the highest quality photo to restore the real world color in
one shot!
★ Improved color
gradation. The millions of colors on the photo are also
extremely accurate, and in this way makes the details of photo
clearer and sharper. The average Color Calibration white balance
value from “RAYNAULD™ Directivity Color Calibration filter” is more
accurate than the best gray card.
★ Designed and created for
professional photographers. It works great for general
photographers for all purposes TOO!

How to use Directivity Color Calibration Filter
How to use Directivity Color Calibration Filter
○ How to
use RAYNAULD™ Directivity Color Calibration
Filter:
The color of
light is the color temperature itself. Based on this basic
understanding, it is easy to understand how to make use of
RAYNAULD™ Directivity Color Calibration Filter:
It would be closer to the Absolute Color of the object if the
center part of the Filter receives less illumination quantity from
the main light source; it would be closer to ambient color tone if
the center part of the Filter receives more illumination quantity
from the main light source.
For examples, by fully extending the Filter cup out of the barrel
to allow the cup well exposed to the main lighting that would
achieve colder tone color temperature in the morning while warmer
tone in the evening. Thus, you could easily manipulate the color
tone to your preference between the Absolute Color and Visual Color
by adjusting the Filter position in the
barrel.

Users’
attentions:
* The methods and steps to do the
Manual White Balance (White Set, Custom White Balance, etc.) of
each camera brand are different. Please refer to the camera
manual for the correct operation. The option of “Manual White
Balance” might only be available when the shoot mode is set in P,
A, S or M.
* When using the remote flash or
indoor photography lighting system, please follow the same
above-mentioned steps while turning the flash light on and the
required light system to perform the custom white balance with the
filter.
* Set the photo style to NATURAL
(NEUTUAL) with variety of (0,0,0,0)! The sharpness can be
slightly increased. Based on the actual photo on monitor, the
brightness might need to be adjusted if necessary for the best
result. However, there might exist color cast to blue, red or green
after the color calibration adjust using the filter, there might
need to adjust the camera color system to correct its problems in
order to shot for environmental color photos. For instance,
Olympus E-PL1 has to set -3 in order to eliminate its reddish
phenomenon of its photo.
* If encounter the unusual excess
resistance while stretching out or drawing back the DCC Filter
body, please twist the body a little bit to solve the
problem.
* For those professional
photographers who always mount the lens hood on lens or would
rather not to take off the lens hood from the lens, please select
the outer diameter of DCC Filter is smaller than the minimum inner
diameter of lens hood so that the DCC Filter could be inserted into
the lens hood for proper works. Or, you might choose a larger DCC
Filter to cover the lens hood to work properly.
* Whenever photography scene or
character display contents are changed, the average value of the
color temperature of the framed scene would be varied. Be sure to
redo the above-mentioned manual white balance to get the best color
accuracy.
* When in use, only need to cover
the front end of lens with Color Calibration Balance Filter to
conduct the “Manual White Balance”. There is no need to cover the
whole lens body with the black sleeve of the filter.
* Please avoid using the over-sized
filter as it would degrade the color measurement performance in
accuracy.
* The color calibrating function of
the Filter is limited by the color system of the camera itself. It
can not be expected to override the camera build-in system, such as
shooting under extremely low light and low color temperature scenes
(such as candle lights) or the color cast design of the camera
etc.
* At a special photographic
environment with a single color, please use a gray card or put
additional staff on site to perform the white balance
adjustment. It also helps to do the color calibrating by
putting extra movable staff, such as chairs, cloths or body, in the
scene.
* The colors from the “Visual
Color” and “Absolute Color” positions are different from each
other. Please choose and adjust based on your needs.
* Keep the Filter clean and
away from any grease that could color the filter and
damage its color calibrating accuracy! Clean with soft and dirty
free towel.
* None of the current camera is
equipped with the color temperature auto adjusting screen. Thus,
please do not use the camera screen to do the photo on site
calibrating purpose.

How to calibrate the monitor or big LED
TV?
The monitor color must be well
calibrated before doing the “environmental visual color”
calibration of camera and the filter. As to monitor calibration, we
would recommend Datacolor Spider4 or any professional monitor
calibration application for best results. However, there is an
alternative method by using the retina iPad for this purpose for
color comparison between the digital photo and real
world.
How to conduct the photo color with
environmental color for calibrating? The easiest way to do
so is to shoot photo at the spot and make color comparison on the
monitor or iPad immediately. We would suggest to
place a few of well-familiar house hold staff and colorful clothes
in the scene for easy comparison. Human vision is very
sensitive towards direction as well as any reflection of
objects. Thus, it would be a good ideal to view the
scene in the same direction as the lens was pointed to for best
results.
