Andrew, PMPro's Digital Camera module is available as a stand-alone
application for $620 USD. Not sure if that includes the DC Checker
SG chart (I think it may) but if it does not, that would only add
about another $300, still well under $1,000.
Which is still $1000 more than free, which is the cost of the solution
to build and tune profiles for the Adobe products.
You weren't assuming that Uli was talking about the PMPro Publish
right (about $3,000)? Given the context of this discussion, that
would be a stretch I would think.
He mentioned ProfileMaker Pro. The discussion of profile editing also
came up (assuming anyone would find using PMP's editor a fun way to
spend the day).
If you exclude the small group of color geeks here that might pay a
grand for these solutions, there's a big world of end users out there
who would not and would be (are) quite happy with the free solution
provided by Adobe. So now we have one group saying that non
proprietary camera profiles are a must, without an ounce of proof that
they are a superior solution to a free but proprietary implementation
in two well used Adobe Raw products. And if anyone is convinced that
they simply have to use open ICC camera profiles with even a $1000
product, fine. Do so. You have a group of Raw converters that will
support them. If end users feel that this functionality is so
important that not having the ability to support them in an Adobe Raw
converter is a deal breaker, don't use the Adobe solutions. But
someone, somewhere has yet to convince either the vast majority of
happy Adobe users or Adobe themselves that supporting ICC camera
profiles is the least bit useful. That's the bottom line here.
