Earlier this month I did some input profile building tests, on a D1, using
Kodak's IPB and PM 3.1 and the new GretagMacbeth DC Chart. To my surprise, I
discovered that the most effective way to deal with the D1 raw NEF files was
to do exactly what David Tobie suggested. The difference being that I was in
the studio using fixed lighting.
All my attempts to use the D1 profiles ONLY worked OK when I was doing
transforms from the camera profiles to the editing space using the DC target
as the image being transformed.
When I tried this method on a subject using the same lighting set up) I
thought
the resultant transform was appaulling. Hence I the decided to use the
technique
that David described above with great success.
I would like to qualify this by saying that input profiles built for my
DCS460
have worked to better effect than the above mentioned workflow suggestion.
Perhaps this would lead to the idea that all digital cameras do not behave
identically under similar profiling conditions!!!
Food for thought.
