color settings

Frank Saunte
My camera is Canon 1DS
My colormatrix in camera is set to 4 (adobe RGB)
But in C1 I cant choose that ICC profil,only s-RGB and all the PHASE ONE profils.
I havent calibrated my laptop yet ! Couldt that be the problem ?
But wouldnt the ICC profil be seen in C1 anyway ?

Best regards

Frank ❓

    The sRGB vs. AdobeRGB setting in the camera does not affect the data stored in the raw file. It is only a tag that is applied and used as a guideline to Canon's software. Or if you are shooting raw+JPEG it does have an effect over the processing of the colors before they are written into the JPEG (the raw is still just raw).

    What you really want to do is just use the Phase One profile for your camera. It has the proper gamut for that model (which is actually larger than AdobeRGB).

    You may then process the raw data into a TIFF or JPEG that is scaled to the AdobeRGB profile (Kodak ProPhoto might be a better match when used in a 16-bit TIFF) for further editing or printing.

    Thanks for quick answer !
    Does this apply for all the Phase One profils, or is there a proper one to use ???

    Capture One should automatically pick the profile that Phase One provided that matches the camera when the raw file is selected. You can always change it after that fact. Some people were reporting good results with cross-model profiles. Or if you have a custom ICC profile you can also switch to that. If you've changed it, there should be a set of profiles (for different lighting conditions) that all start with "Canon EOS 1Ds ..."

    But for the most part the profile that Capture One picks by default will be the best match out of the box.

    Oh, another thought. If you are only seeing profiles called "Phase One ..." you may not be using the right version of Capture One. I believe "Capture One DB" only includes profiles for Phase One's digital backs. While the LE version does not have any support for the DBs, only DSLRs. The Pro version covers both ranges of cameras.
