S2 Color Profile

Now available in the owner section of the S2

 

from the PDF description:

 

The LEICA S2 raw data format complies with the specifications in the ADOBE DNG 1.3.0.0 standard (June 2009). This enables DNG-compatible raw data converters to be used in your photo workflow. As a result, products such as Capture One 6 from Phase One can be used. To improve the color characteristics of the Leica S2 data, we now offer an ICC color profile, which has been specially developed for the LEICA S2.

Loaded it and S2 RAW images show up in Phase One Capture One Pro-6.

 

This is a major processing development for the S2. Now to find out if tethered operations can be used. Probably not, but stay tuned.

Marc,

 

The only way to tether an S2 into C1 is to use Leica Image Shuttle and have C1 import from a hot folder. LR is currently the only program that can tether directly.

 

Incidentally, S2 DNGs have always shown up in C1, just with lousy color. I created a custom ICC camera profile for the S2 over a year ago that vastly improved color response in C1, but it didn't address demosaicing artifacts. An ICC profile only addresses color, not how the converter interprets the file.

 

I will be taking a look today to see how the new Leica profile compares with the one I created and if C1 v6 has done anything to clean up the conversion artifacts.

 

My take is that it is great to have options, but that LR is still going to be the primary choice for most S2 users due to superior workflow, asset management and the excellent set of tools that LR provides. Who knows what is in store for LR4 as well. Adobe is a powerhouse in the world of imaging. I would expect nothing less that continual progress and truly believe that Leica made the right choice in partnering with them for all future products.

Hi folks,

 

I'm wondering if someone could please send me the ICC profile for the S2 and Capture 1?

 

I have the use of an S2 but no owner's registration so I can't get to the owner's area on leica.com to get it. :(

 

I've also been working with my own C1 V6 S2 "hacked" profile and I like it; but I'd like to have the official profile :)

 

Thanks in advance!

I am wondering if anyone uses Capture One with the S or S2?

 

Also wondering if this profile is still in the owner's area, and if it would be usable with the S? I use C1 pro 7 with other cameras and would really prefer not to use an additional raw converter.
