i am shooting a lightphase digital back. i do not assign a profile when
i develop the file (16 bit). when i open the file in photoshop i attach
a profile that came with the lightphase software. depending on the
feeling i want from the image, i usually stick to portrait-natural or
portrait-cool.
first question, why do the images look different but the patches on the
greytag macbeth color checker have the same rgb values?
second, if i open the same file and check the box in the missing profile
dialog -then convert document to the working rgb- why are the readings
from the same patches 3-4 higher blue?
i am trying to figure out if it is ok to work in foreign working spaces,
not convert to my space (colormatch rgb) or should i convert everything
to colormatch.
i am scanning with a flextight or capturing with a lightphase. most of
my work is output to my fuji for portfolio or promo from a mac. some is
now going to magazines. seems like a file tagged with the lightphase
camera profile might confuse...
