I could not disagree more. What we need is a clear understanding of what a camera
profile does. It does characterize how a camera responds to a particular set of colors
under a specific lighting condition. If you change the condition, i.e. shadow one corner
of the target or have one light 100 degrees kelvin cooler than another you will
radically change the outcome. Shooting a target in anything other than very carefully
controlled circumstances will create a profile of little value. What you need is one
profile created under these carefully controlled circumstances, that can be applied under
most lighting circumstances following proper linearization(gray balance) of the camera
for each scene. One profile serves me extremely well under all lighting conditions I
need to work under, tungsten, strobe, fluorescent and any number of grim industrial
types. We really do need to get past this notion of a profile for each scene, cause 1.
it does not work and 2. it is completely unnecessary.
