M8 and B+W 486 UV IR Cut Filter: which Capture 1 profile do I use?

When shooting RAW with my M8 and using a B+W branded UV IR 486 cut filter mounted on the lens, which profile do I select in Capture 1 LE workflow /Color Management Settings menu: M8 generic, M8 generic UV-IR , or M8 IR 486? I find the M8 IR 486 selection gives muted colors. Could someone please explain what these different profiles are for? Thanks, I couldn't find a straight answer in the old posts.

Gary: Use "M8 generic UV/IR." The "M8 IR 486" profile is no good--someone here told me that it is incomplete and was later withdrawn from C-One. "M8 generic" is for use without an IR cut filter.

Hi Guys:

I have C1 version 3.7.5 that came with my M8. It ONLY has "Leica M8 Generic". It does not list "M8 Generic UV/IR". Are there profiles available that I don't have?

Thanks for the help.

Download Capture One LE version 3.7.7 from the PhaseOne Web site upgrade it (just install over your old version) and you'll get the newer profiles.

Peter:

Thanks a million! I down loaded the upgrade, and I now have the additional profiles.
