In the shooting situations you're describing, a custom profile is a
no-brainer. But people shooting live action in the field can't
possibly gray-balance the camera, or even set a custom white balance,
for every shot. Some of them are pros too.
Sure, in situations where your probably going to adjust the color to
achieve the best visual and color matching is not an issue; then
CameraRaw may have some merit. But I still think at the expense of
extra work. Hopefully in the future CameraRaw will accept custom
profiles so we can have the best of both. Which at that point would be
similar to CaptueOne DSLR only with the advantage of Photoshop's tools.
I'm not arguing for or against the value of custom camera profiles,
I'm simply arguing against the reasons some people are presenting for
why custom camera profiles are essential. I have no argument with
posts like Jack Bingham's -- custom profiling obviously works well in
his workflow -- but I have numerous counterexamples that I can't just
dismiss any more than you and Jack can simply dismiss your experience.
Agreed, it really comes down to workflow and budget. I wanted to
express my experience which was the original question.
