The source charts are provided in three formats. The charts are formatted for printing on 8.5"x11” sheets and are in the first gallery. A screen capture of the charts from Photoshop cropped down to the 2x3 aspect ratio outer box are shown here. These were captured showing the colors seen in "Proof" mode in Photoshop. This mode is intended to simulate the colors after printing in CMYK mode. Since film is also based on CMY colors, these charts may more closely match to scans from 35mm film.

CTS-5 - Screen RGB Colors

The CTS-5 is the actual DSLR capture of the test box in direct mid-day sunlight. The initial RAW capture (as a DNG) is available for download and comparison to your scans of the film strip image of CTS-4. The initial DNG image was edited in Photoshop for white balance, noise reduction, and sharpening. That edited version of the test box image was cropped and placed into the standard frame background used for the other 3 charts to create CTS-4.
