After reading the thread about M8 color rendering,"Does the M8 lack colour?" and the problems i find especially in the color RED, and i do find the M8 very often is over saturated and actually blooming red's with both ACR and C1, since i don't like C1 i tried to make a profile for ACR which keeps everything (well most) and not messing up the red's...

 

Here's some examples:

 

First one default ACR profile, second Leica M8 ACR profile... if intrested in testing this profile, send me an email...

By the way, the jacket is orange/red, not all red, and i found this the hardest color for the M8 to render correctly, and we tried with a D200, and 5D, and a 1Ds MKII, every camera had problems with this jacket/color and i cant really say if one was any better than the other, since they all sucked... :-)

Alexander - It needs to be said; the M8 Colour Space is quite a bit larger than the sRGB space in which we view your examples. Are you sure you are seeing a profile problem and not a Colour Space limitation? I assume an IR filter was used.

Yes of course, it's very limited to show this with small jpg's, but it shows very good on both my Macbook Pro and my calibrated Eizo screen in my studio, and yes it's shows even better in full size DNG in 16 bit...i always shoot DNG converting to 16 Bit Adobe RGB (Not ProPhoto RGB because none of my printers take use of this extra gamut and commercial printing in magazines can't even print Adobe RGB so no use for me, well not yet)

Anyone tested it yet?, i sent mails with profile to several people, if so, what do you think...?
