I've executed colour integrity and repro tests (from capture to print) and I
trust the integrated *ist D profiles (for daylight and manual WB) and I trust
the ability of the PC CS RAW convertor to interpret the cameras WB information.
These are integrated profiles within the RAW image? I don't think
that the -DS has integrated profiles.
Wow I didn't realize the GIMP only allowed 8 bit file handling, that must be a
joy to work with.
Yeah. I used to think it wasn't a big deal, but now that I've
learned more about the huge nonlinear elements to graphics processing, it
becomes a huge deal. I know that it's a big planned feature, but I'm
pretty sure it will require a ground-up rewrite of *LOTS* of things...
that's why it's been put off. I believe they're planning on using a color
management engine/library that isn't really written yet... thus the
trouble.
That might be useful. Aside from the Bayer interpolation, you
could use dcraw to get out a linear TIFF file. We'll see if they ever
answer my email first.
Fair enough, assuming it can generate a 16 bit file it might be worth while
to
do.
Yes... dcraw (it's vanilla C-code, so it runs fine under
Winders/Mac) will do 16-bit linear files.
