Capture One allows you to embed rather than convert to a profile when

Thanks for clearing this up for me I hadn't found the time to look at this
closely , I had noticed the embedded " no colour correction" profile and
wasn't sure if it was a targeted work space or simply assigned. When I
looked at it in Colorthink it was identical to sRGB so I got worried. So if
I am understanding you, using Phase One Capture for the raw conversion and
stripping the "no color correction".icc profile we will have produced an
untagged tif ready for profiling.
I also feel (and have said before) that the concept of just adjusting the
color in a RAW converter by "how it looks" is
a step backwards. We wouldn't tell people to adjust their monitors by "how
it looks", would we?
Actually the calibration of the raw file in Adobe Camera Raw has little to
do with "how it looks". If you follow Bruce Fraser's instruction on pages 60
to 65 in Camera Raw, you are tweaking the file of a 24 patch gretag towards
the RGB numbers of the target space selected. So if I have have chosen
Prophoto I am targeting the Gretag RGB numbers in Prophoto mostly for the
three primary patches R3 C1 -2 and 3. Its not a profile but it is a series
of twists and turns in response to key values of an external reference
which are used to deduce the larger model.
My next step will be to compare an ACR converted capture into Prophoto of
artwork reproduction and a Phase One converted capture profiled with Eye One
and converted to Prophoto. I'll let you know.
Thanks of the info
Eugene
