Bad D7000 colors
Hello there
I've allways liked Capture One. A friend of mine owns it (the pro version) and I use it at lot at her place. The colors with my Nikon D70 was wonderful. Far superior to Adobe Lightroom. But now, since I've bought the new Nikon D7000 the colors från Capture One is simply horrible. Especially the hair and skin tones looks terrible. Oversaturated, especially in the shadow areas. It's simply useless. I have used the D7000 generic profile.
The only way to get decent results from Capture One with the D7000 is to change color profile to either Pentax K5 generic or Nikon D90 generic v3 profile. Then the results are okay, but then the greens and blues have the wrong hue. I've tried everything to get decent results from Capture One with my D7000 but it's simply impossible.
Is there a D7000 generiv v2 coming up or must we D7000-shooters abandon Capture One completely?
Regards
Olle

You can open a support case, fill in 'trial' in the license field. 0 -
Whitebalance cannot be "matched" in LR. The WB depends on the matrix part of the colour correction (the camera colour profile) and the base linearity of the camera's raw channels.
A camera is not an accurate spectrograph, but more like a colorimeter. Depending on the filters in the camera, and the amount of correction you apply, the (theoretical) WB value that gives the exact same WB in the shots will vary.
If you match the WhiBal "per camera" you will get different temperatures. Change camera calibration from "Adobe Standard" to Camera Standard, and you will also get a change in absolute WB. It's all in the postprocessing. What you see as a finished result on screen is NOT what the camera measured, but a very processed version mybkexperience.
