It is important to check if the copied batch was brought to the local user entirely.
We must know the # of images in the original batch. This can be checked using this command line:
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
ls /mnt/research-projects/s/screberg/longterm_images2/semifield-upload/<batch>/*.ARW | wc -l |
...
-l |
output: 560
- Check the number # of images in the local directory after moving download has completed.
(Moving files from longterm storage to the local working directory. (, before you run the …PIPLINE.pythe pipeline). This
*The output should be equal to the same as the above command. But ; should equal be 0 after running the pipeline
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
ls /home/psa_images/temp_data/semifield-upload/<batch>/*.ARW | wc -l |
for example: ls /home/psa_images/temp_data/semifield-upload/MD_2024-07-02/*.ARW | wc -l
output (before running the pipeline): 560
output (after running the pipeline): 0
- After running the pipeline (…PIPELINE.py), you want to check if all the ARW files were properly converted to JPGs and moved to the longterm “developed” storage.
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|

ls /mnt/research-projects/s/screberg/longterm_images2/semifield-developed-images/<batch>/images/*.jpg | wc -l |

Example: MD_2024-07-02

ls /mnt/research-projects/s/screberg/longterm_images2/semifield-upload/MD_2024-07-02/*.ARW | wc -l |

2. Color Profiling in RawTherapee
...
RawTherapee will launch in an separate window, opening to the most recent profile that has been worked on. Select the appropriate batch and allow to load. Scroll through making a mental note if some images are out of the ordinary (i.e. too bright, too dark, out of focus, etc).
2.1 Creating a color profile
Our goal when creating a color profile is to have every image look similarly to the rest of the batch. It is good practice to scan through all images to get an idea of what they look like, if there are any outliers, or anything else to note.

11 Look for a Color Checker
We want to use an image with a color checker, if one is available within the batch. Choose the most average looking picture (lighting and color-wise). If they all look reasonably similar, choose any of the options.
...
*In Semifield applications, we typically use a smaller, Color Checker lanyard. The Field Color Checker may be used instead, but the larger one is preferred for this application. Either is acceptable.

Recent profile & Color Picker
...
To bring in a recent profile, find the folder icon towards the top right of the screen, located to the left of the save button. This will open a window containing a list of saved profiles within the local user. Choose the most recent date in relation to the image being worked on now. It is helpful to use the name & date modified arrows, making it easier to find most recent profiles.
...
.
...
Once a previous profile is loaded in and applied, use the color picker tool. The Color Picker tool is found on the tool bar above the working image or using the White Balance tab on the panel to the right. Choose “Pick”.
...
When finished, be sure to choose the hand icon to return to normal cursor mode.

Now, we navigate into the Exposure tab. This is the only tab we will work in, aside from the tab to access the Color Picker. There are only a few helpful settings to toggle here.
