Thank you for the references , I am still unclear about where this "rendering " takes place and whether it replaces the use of input camera profiles. The white paper #17 Using ICC profiles with digital cameras , seems to suggest that input profiles and colour space encoding are two separate strategies, which implies that "rendering" is not done with input profiles.
Is this " rendering" part of the conversion from RAW to Jpeg where colour data is first created or does it refer to input profiles that assign different chromatic values to identical file data. I guess my question is, are there two conversions, a primary conversion from RAW to JPEG where demosaicing takes place and RVB data is determined, and then a second ICC colour conversion where the file data is converted to the sRGB colour space using one of a selection of generic input profiles?
If no input profiles are used how are the specific primaries or effective dynamic range factored in? Even if a specific output reproduction curve, or white point is envisioned for this "rendering" what dynamic range or characteristic curve is assumed as source?
Since the white paper #17 states that profiling these "rendered" camera files produces "sub optimal", results , it causes me to think these files have already been subjected to a profile to profile conversion.
Sorry if labour on in my own confusion but I find this area of colour management perplexing.
Thanks for your help
