papimuzo Posted January 16, 2018 Share #3 Posted January 16, 2018 Thanks. Very informative, re-insurring in some way... related to my case... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitz Posted January 18, 2018 Share #4 Posted January 18, 2018 What surprises me is that, while a large majority use monitor color management, so few use camera color management. Making camera profiles is so easy. And you no longer have to worry about C1, ACR, embedded, etc profiles, none of which are right for your camera / lens combination.

Exodies Posted January 18, 2018 Share #5 Posted January 18, 2018 It’s hardly surprising. The difference is almost invisible and choosing between embedded, Lightroom and a home made profile doesn’t produce a clear winner for all pictures.

zeitz Posted January 19, 2018 Share #6 Posted January 19, 2018 On my M9, the difference was remarkable as red was totally out of control. I would have gotten rid of my M9 had it not been for a custom profile. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
