Using a color rendition chart

Question

Someone just emailed me a TIF scan of an printed image with a color rendtion chart next to it. The chart is "Farbkarte #13" from "B.I.G."
Is there a way of utilising this within Lightroom to ensure I am seeing the scan correctly? (Monitor calibration notwithstanding...)
(I'm entirely amateur and have never used a color rendition chart for anything before. Go easy.)

Answer 1

You really aren't helping the OP with the question posted. Film photographers have been using an 80% reflectance gray card for years to help set white balance in the final print. The same procedure can be used very successfully for setting the white balance in a photo editing application such as Lightroom or Photoshop. We now have far more sophisticated tools for not only setting the white balance, but also creating complete camera profile for use in Lightroom. The most notable and affordable is the ColorChecker Passport manufactured by X-Rite.
My recommendation to the OP is to go ahead and "try" the white balance procedure I posted using the LR eyedropper tool. It should work better than "nothing at all!"
I also suggest putting a hardware monitor calibration device high on your list of important items to purchase for your digital imaging workstation. The ColorChecker Passport would be a nice but distant 2nd item on your list. For establishing white balance an inexpensive 90% reflectance card like the below is all that is necessary:
DGK Color Tools Digital Grey Kard
Shoot the 90% card with your digital camera for standard lighting conditions, such as Sunny Daylight, Cloudy, and Indoor Tungsten Lighting. Make sure the card is not over exposed (i.e. between 80% and 95% in LR) in the picture. Then use the eyedropper tool to determine the proper white balance settings in LR for your camera, and save them as Develop Presets. You only need do this once, and it is clearly way better than nothing at all and not expensive!
