About the Shoot
Every time a new camera is released a slew of test images begin appearing. One of the most common is a photo of a model’s face with a Color Checker. We wanted to create a test image that was, first and foremost, a good image. So we worked with makeup/hair artist Kara Graves to riff off the cliche of the Color Checker + Model cliche.
We have a more complete set of technical tests (ISO sweeps, lens comparisons, comparisons to other backs) coming in the next few days. But for now please enjoy these raw files. And if you’d like arrange your own personal test, please contact us at info@digitaltransitions.com.

Testing and File Notes
The Phase One IQ3 100mp was used in the full [IIQ L – 16 bit] mode. These raws were then packed as EIPs which can be opened in Capture One 9.0.2; if you’re a LightRoom user contact us for a DNG or IIQ version of these files, or 16 bit TIFFs processed out of Capture One 9.0.2.
The camera was a Phase One XF and the lens was the Schneider 120mm LS lens.
