If there is one thing that makes Leaf digital backs stand out from the rest of the competition it is their color management. We hear from our customers that one of the reasons that they chose the Leaf platform is how their backs handle skin tones and transitions. With the introduction of the new Credo line, it was very important to Capture Integration to test the system. Most importantly to see if there are any major changes that would change the important aspects that make Leaf the system that it is.
Very simply, we tested the new Credo 80 and the Phase One IQ180 and controlled as many variables as possible. We used the same body, lens, lighting and model. Both exposures were balanced in C1 Pro using a Color Checker Passport. And a Profoto D1 500 Air was our light source.
