My new Sony DSC 85 comes without color profile.
Is it better to import (ImageCapture) without any profile or should I
use the suggested RGB-Standard Profile from ColorSync-Utility?
Unless you have another profile for your camera go ahead and use the
Generic RGB Profile. It's a decent representation of the standard 1.8
gamma Mac environment, and since that's what you're viewing the image
in it's more representative than nothing. If you find another profile
that looks better as a source you can embed that instead, just pick it
from the list in Image Capture.
Keep in mind that your camera behavior will change depending on what
lighting setting it chooses, meaning the Automatic color balance
setting is the most chaotic, it'll pick one of the white balance
settings as it sees fit. Each setting (flourescent, incandescent,
daylight) is obviously completely different color wise, and in Auto
mode cameras don't always pick the setting you might think they would.
Ideally you might have a different profile for each white balance
setting, and set it manually and remember which shots were taken with
what white balance and assign the right profile accordingly.
