I've just started working with Phase one software and find the possiblities interesting.. I've been using Canon's Digital professional software and find that what i see on the screen in that program is exactly what I see when i open up the Tiff file exported into photoshop .. the images look exactly the same..

Now when i use C1 to view my canon raw files, then open up the same raw file in adobe's sofware it does not look the same. WHICH VERSION IS THE REAL RAW FILE?

What i need help is figuring out what settings to put in the color managemenet settings in C1.. Under cameral model i put in canon 10D.. Then when it asks me about camera profile should i put in canon 10D again? I shoot in the ADOBE RGB 1998 color space in my canon.. does that mean in C1 i have to put in as my camera profile adoble RGB? Any help would be appreaciated.. thanks.

  I shoot in the ADOBE RGB 1998 color space in my canon.

  
  
  This has absolutely no effect on the RAW files. It only affects the jpeg files produced in your camera. In fact none of the custom settings affect the RAW data, which is just the sensor data parcelled up into a CRW file.
  
  You do need to make sure that C1 knows about your monitor profile.
  
  FWIW I have a 10D and have no problems with colour matching with C1.

  I see.. thanks for your answer.. So i guess my camera profile setting in the C1 software has nothing to do with what color space I shoot in (the color space does not affect raw files anyway) and I should be choosing the Canon 10D generic profile.. Thanks again..

  petepagan,
  
  The correct camera profile is set based off the file's EXIF data. So the 10D profile should be set automatically.
  Yes, RAW files don't have a color space. The color space is established upon processing by your settings under Color Management and at the Process tab. Be sure these are set to what you're after. Also be sure the monitor profile is set correctly in Capture One, Color Management; and if you are comparing color with Photoshop, be sure that you are using Soft Proof and that the same ICC profile is set there as well.
  
  Cheers,
  kc
