DaveSee Posted October 26, 2007 Share #1  Posted October 26, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Likely a question for the folks of Solms; however, I've found the ECI RGB v2 so much more open (read: large and forgiving) than Adobe's 1998 for prints... so I'll post it here first...  Yes, you do not have it in your menus(!) and must visit this site to get the ICC profile, but you'll likely find it much improved over version 1... and far less "dry" than ADBE98.  I was curious, despite shooting RAW/DNG, whether the ECI RGB in the M8 conformed to version 1(a 1.8 gamma curve), or version 2(curve based on L*, and ICC v2 & 4 compliant).  Notably, this space digs deep... so much so, that it would cater to the "expose right" crowd... and favors the M8's lower realms  Thoughts?  rgds, Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thus you would have the absolute largest gamut space currently available.This also would allow you to use Joe Holmes Pro Photo variants which allow you to increase or decrease saturation with no color shifts.  Woody Spedden Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmes' DCam 4 for image manipulation(gamma, levels and resizing the JPEG output), but these colorspaces are too large for my printers... I agree, for DNG conversions to TIFF or JPEG, a big, BIG space is recommended.  For printing, I had been converting the DNG data stream(my scripting...) to a JPEG with an Adobe1998 RGB space... seemed what most folks used/expected. I became curious about ECI RGB when I first read of the M8, and have watched news of it since. Just downloaded the v. 2 ICC profile and wow... much bigger than Adobe98 with better control of the printable spectrum I convert "down" to from Holmes' DCam 4.  Won't say it's better, just yet Also just curious about the M8 implementation of ECI RGB... version, whether histo is based on in-camera JPEG(8-bit), and thus the colorspace chosen in-camera... even if I shoot DNG only.  rgds, Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
