Étape 2. Preparing a shot or scan of the Calibration Target

Case of digital camera

1. Set the camera to a specific shooting mode (ISO level, etc.) you want to build a profile for;
2. Important: set the focusing system on infinity (you have to get an out of focus image);
3. Make sure the Calibration Target fills the whole frame and make a shot;
4. Open the resulting shot in Neat Image; see the Step 3. Opening the image.

Case of flatbed scanner

Use the printed Calibration Target to prepare a test scan for building a device noise profile for your flatbed scanner:

1. Set the scanner to a specific scanning mode (resolution, light level, etc.) you want to build a profile for;
   
2. If possible set the scanner out of focus (an out of focus scan is preferred for profiling); a possible way to achieve this is to raise the page over the scanner glass a bit;
   
3. Scan the printed Calibration Target;
   
4. Open the resulting scan in Neat Image; see the Step 3. Opening the image.
   

Case of slide scanner

Use the displayed or printed Calibration Target to prepare a test scan for building a device noise profile for your film scanner:

1. Set the camera to a specific shooting mode (film type, exposure, etc.) you want to build a profile for;
   
2. Important: set the focusing system on infinity (you have to get an out of focus image);
   
3. Make sure the Calibration Target fills the whole frame and make a shot;
   
4. Develop the slide and put it into the scanner;
   
5. Set the scanner to a specific scanning mode (resolution, light level, etc.) that you want to build a profile for and scan the slide;
   
6. Open the resulting scan in Neat Image; see the Step 3. Opening the image.
