Capture One ICC profiles
I wonder where the generic camera profiles that are used byt Capture One when loading raw data come from.
Are they the results of measurements which ensure that a test scene will be rendered the same across camera body?
I ask because they obviously are not made to match the jpeg camera engine of the camera body.
While for the Sony bodies I found the Capture One generic profile much better than the jpeg results, I cannot say the same for my Fujifilm bodies. It requires lots of tweaking and I often simply fail to get close to the color output of the Fuji jpeg.
That brings me to my second question: what is involved in preparing an icc profile that would guarantee I get results close to the jpeg color output? (hardware, software?)

Yes, thanks.
So if I take a picture of a color checker. Compare the output of the jpeg to the rendered RAW in Capture One, move sliders in color editor to match them, then I have created the color profile I need?0 -
You need to bear in mind that the JPG created by the camera may not be the best colour. I spent a while some time ago, including some help from C1 in a support case, trying to work out how to get the colours in C1 to look like the JPG output from one of my cameras (especially the hue of blue skies). They helped me to do it. But I did eventually conclude that although I quite liked the look of the colour of the in-camera JPGs, they were not in fact an accurate representation of the colours I had seen with my eyes when I took the photo.

Yes the Fuji jpg is not know for its color fidelity, but it is more "pleasing". Glad to know the support team could potentially help out.0
