1. Download Batch
When downloading a Field batch, navigate to the correct location. Use this string of commands:
| Code Block |
|---|
cd .. cd psa _images/field_tools/ python3 fielddownload_SUNNYraw_pipelinebatch.py <batch_name> |
2. Color Profiling in RawTherapee
...
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, we can choose whichever we want.
...
*In Field applications, a large Color Checker is typically used. The Semifield Color Checker might be used instead, but the larger one is preferred for this application. Either is acceptable.
...
Exposure Compensation & Highlight Compression
These two go hand-in-hand. Exposure compensation should always be set to slightly more than Highlight Compression
Lightness
Has a similar effect to Exposure Compensation
Saturation
Toggle keeping in mind the intensity of colors on the color checker.

Before exiting the program, apply the new profile to the rest of the images in the batch. This can easily be done by:

To exit the screen, use CTRL+A D

Checking the success of the pipeline
If there is an indication the pipeline is finished running, crosscheck the # of images within the original batch with the # of JPGs and PP3s created.
We can use both of these lines respectively:
| Code Block | breakoutMode | wide
|---|
ls /mnt/research-projects/r/raatwell/longterm_images3/field-batches/<batch>/developed-images/*.jpg | wc -l |
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
ls /mnt/research-projects/r/raatwell/longterm_images3/field-batches/<batch>/developed-images/*.pp3 | wc -l |
And compare to The # of ARWs should be 0. Check using:
| Code Block | breakoutMode | wide
|---|
ls /mnt/research-projects/s/screberg/longterm_images/field-batches/<batch>/*.ARW | wc -l |
As long as the output # of the first two commands are equivalent , to each other the color profile has successfully been applied to every image in the batch.
If the # of JPGs and PP3s are not equivalent to the original # of images, try running the pipeline again within the same screen. Double check the name of the batch that was typed in, this is where errors are likely to happen. Also, be sure to be navigated to the Semifield folder. If navigated to the Field folder, the pipeline will not be successful.
Example: TX_2023-09-29
Step 1 : Cross-check the original image count to the Backlog spreadsheet
| Code Block |
|---|
ls /mnt/research-projects/r/raatwell/longterm_images3/field-batches/<batch>/developed-images/*.pp3 | wc -l |
The output number should equal the sum of the batch (if applicable: add 01+02+02, etc.)
