Hi All,
In Bruce Fraser book, Camera Raw with Adobe Photoshop CS2, on page 101; their is an image used for calibration. Where can I find this image
to use?
thank you
There are many commercially available digital camera calibration systems available, which I assume is what you are referring to (a color target).
The target would be essentially worthless without calibration software, anyway. I recommend a Monaco (now by x-rite) DCcolor:

I have used their EZcolor system extensively and it works very well for the price.
is it the one with the shelves of toys and blocks and childrens faces at bottom?? It has some palettes of the colors.
It came on the PS CD but I think an old one, like 6? it was in the
tutorial
on selecting.
My photolab also gave me copy of it on a CD .
I used it to match my printer to my monitor by eye and Adobe Gamma.
No, not a color reference image, a color TARGET. It’s just an array of colored squares with registration marks at the corners. The software loads up your scanned TIFF of the target and analyzes the colors therein against its internal knowledge of what the colors *ought* to be, and builds a profile for your scanner (an ICC profile).
But the OP was looking for a target to take a digital picture of and calibrate his digital photography workflow, so I suggested the DCcolor product, which does just that. You will still build an ICC profile for your camera and you’ll have to apply it (Image -> Mode -> Assign Profile…) to each newly imported image.
I can provide more color management workflow information if anyone is interested; I’ve been down a long and scary road with color in my business (
