ACR Calibrator L

[Ron Schoenwald]

I have used different versions of ACRCalibrator with little
difficulty, but the download of ACR Calibrator L
(ACR-Calibrator-L-v30.jsx) was in code, but not in a jsx file. I
wasn't sure what to do with the code so I deleted the code in an
older version of ACR Calibrator and then put the L-v30.jsx code in
the empty jsx file and proceeded to add this file to Adobe Photoshop
CS3/presets/Scripts file.
Although it processed my ColorChecker image quickly, most of the
Red, Green, and Blue hues and Satn were corections of +100 or -100.
This happened three times. This suggests something was not correct.
Any suggestions?

If I'm understanding you correctly, when you click on the link you get code listed on the screen instead of being asked to download and save a file.  I don't know why what you did wouldn’t work, but I guess it didn't and you should probably try to get the original file to download.

 

On Windows, using IE, I would right-click on the link and choose Save As or Save Target... or whatever it says, and then choose the place to save the .jsx file.

 

If you've never run any of these scripts before, the symptom of 100s for most things usually means you've clicked the wrong places with the pen, or at least in the wrong order.

 

The proper procedure is to click the path tool pen nib on the upper-left, then lower-left, then lower-right, then upper-right -- a squared off U shape with white at the lower-left and black at the lower-right, and then run the script.

As I say at the end of most every post, you might look into running the DNG Profile Editor instead of this script.  You get similar custom results, in a fraction of the time.
