Rob,
You are always such a wealth of reliable knowledge on these matters, however,
I have a couple of questions regarding your message dated 5/3/02 12:40:46
PM.
<< If you open a straight-off-the-camera D1X JPEG or TIFF into PS 5 through 6,
it will not have a colour space associated with it. That's because the
camera doesn't tag the files, at least not with ICC profile info, to
indicate anything about the colour space used for processing.>>
While this is true for jpg & tiff, NEF files, which are indicated are RAW
files, do seem to be tagged with one of the two available modes. At least
when sRGB mode is set in camera, and the file is opened is PS 5.5 with WS set
to Adobe RGB, you get a conversion prompt from Nikons profile. Therefore,
are they truly RAW or do we have two "RAW" flavors (Mode I or II)?
If that is the case, could you not capture a profile target in NEF mode, with
one of two flavors of RAW and create a custom profile; shoot in tiff with
the same (I or II) mode setting and convert upon opening from the created
custom profile to a working space correspondinng to the mode (I or II) set in
the camera?
