Color checker pins are in the "goodies folder of your Curvemeister install. 
Copy them from the Goodies folder to the swatches folder shown below.


I'll ask the forum if they are interested in contributing to the Hue clock "time guide"

Thanks! Installed!
I normally use the dng profile editor for the camera profile. Exiting what is the different to use it in cm.
In the profile editor I choose the 4 points for correcting. Am I wrong, that in cm only one point is possible?
I tried with the zone system pins and could only set one point or do something wrong.

Greetings, Tanja

The zone system pins are for RGB single channel work only.  so 1 or possibly 2 pins in the Red channel for instance are possible.
In Lab only 1 neutral is possible...in RGB 256 in theory.

Hi Greg,

have to play around with this. Don't really understand by now, what's going on there.
Thought when I set for example an zone 0 pin, this area become totally black without details, but it's only getting a little bit darker.
Hm, hopefully a theme in the next class.

Don't understand the colorchecker pins. Is it for manually correction? There is no effect, when I set a pin on a known wrong color.

Greetings, Tanja

Hi Greg,

not sure what you mean with the xrite image.
The chart or one picture under same lightning conditions?
The chart in shadow was only to become wrong colors for try the pins.

What do you need? Chart and picture in (nearly) same lightningh?

Hi Greg,

here is one with a wrong white balance. Forget to switch it.

Greetings, Tanja

What a lovely image for CMYK. The cyan cast over the green is tough to figure out at first. 

Your image as posted is shot 1

My CMYK correction is shot 2 for color only.
My CMYK curves shot 3
The ACV file for you to look at is attached.
