Edmund's 1.1 Profiles-Beta -- a first look --- 2nd try

I just looked at Edmund Ronald's new v1.102 profiles (in beta version).

 

I like these very much for this version of the firmware -- and wonder what Leica is doing in the firmware since I am operating on the "R-A-W" file.

 

What are they doing to tweak it? Are they changing the compression algorythm?

 

As you can see the colors are substantially different, even seen at 900 dpi and baby-jpg rendering.

 

M8, 24mm asph, iso 160, 1/750 @ f8 (I find I can't close down further than that without losing resolution on the M8), B-W 486 filter. --- I am not sure which filter Edmund used to tune the profile; perhaps he will comment.

 

It was a bright enuf day, and I was walking around zone focused with infinity a little inside the f8 marking. (There a-r-e some things that Capital-L liberals are conservative about .Color me pale pinko, if that's a socialist color )

 

First version is 1.092 Tuned2 porfile -- a little pale; second is 1.102 Linear; third is 1.102 Tuned1. The truth is in the 1.102 profiles. I'm having trouble deciding which I prefer. It might be easier with some skin.

Jarle, I put the first part of this thread in the sticky at the top of the page and asked Allan Brewer to delete this thread and the earlier, incorrect one.

 

Would you move your post to the sticky thread?

 

tnx,

Jarle,

 

You only posted 2 pics but listed 3. Could you post the 3rd and let us know definitively which one is which.

 

As I won't have my camera back until May 9th or 10th, I have not been able to test Edmund's new profiles with nothing other than raw 1102 files taken with a flash . Thus, I don't feel competent to comment on his new beta profiles yet until I get my camera back and try them on many examples of well exposed non-flash photos. I have high hopes, however, that either the profiles will be good or will be very good in a short-time as Edmund tunes them.

Hi!

I like the new profiles!

 

First image is with profile "M8A1092linear"

Second image is with profile "M8C1102Tuned1"

 

My impressions are: In the tuned1 version I am missing some shadows and it is, for me, a little to bright. For the attached image i like the linear version more.

Both of them are, i tried one in Lightroom, a little "flat". I am missing a little "3D" or lets say differentiation of skin tone.

 

Hope my english is readable.

 

Best

Mario
