I have tried several camera profiling applications in our studio
(though not Coloreyes 20/20 or Monaco DC) and recommend Pictographics
inCamera. It works quite well, none of the others can be seriously
considered. Do your files still need hand editing? Yes. Are some
pigments way off do to metamerism? Yes. What does it do? No
posterization in the shadows. Neutral through the full tonal range.
Doesn't try to map white to 255 and black to 0. Comes pretty close on a
wide range of material. A camera profile is just the start, but if the
software is well designed, and your capture procedure is exactingly
executed, and based on optimum capture parameters (good lighting,
careful gray balance, optimum tonal response...) it is a useful tool. I
am working in a studio with carefully controlled lighting (tungsten,
fluorescent bank, and flash) and professional caliber cameras
(Betterlight, Leaf, and Sinar) which I realize is outside of the intent
of camera raw. In fact that software is of no use to me. Never the less
I use camera profiling software to good effect and recommend it to
other studio shooters.
