SurfaceCal

SurfaceCal is a focused desktop tool for material photography, color calibration, and surface measurement. Built for artists, technical users, and visual reviewers, it helps you move from capture to usable output with a clear workflow for RAW-based color correction (.CR2, .DNG, .RAW, .R8), neutral scale measurement, and clean export.

Use the color correction workflow when your image includes a Macbeth chart and you want to generate a corrected result from the source capture. Use the scale-only workflow when you do not have a chart and need to define real-world measurements, add tape measures, and place a 1 meter overlay across the image. SurfaceCal keeps these two paths separate so the interface stays simple and the right controls only appear when you need them.

Key features include:

• RAW-friendly import support for the most accurate starting point

• Macbeth chart color correction for consistent, repeatable results

• Scale reference tools for neutral measurement workflows

• Tape measures and a 1 meter overlay for surface analysis

• Clean export options for color-corrected or measurement-based output

• Palette sampling for reviewing colors from the corrected image

• A streamlined interface that keeps advanced tools out of the way until needed

SurfaceCal is designed to make the process feel practical and organized. Whether you are correcting a photographed surface, setting a scale from a reference line, or exporting a final image for review, the app keeps the workflow clear from start to finish.

Ideal for:

• Material artists

• Texture and reference photographers

• Surface measurement workflows

• Color calibration and look development

• Clean image export and review
