Hi Ali,
My favourite tool used to be Adobe DNG Profile Editor. With that tool you can generate a colour profile from a colour checker card and it allows you to tune colour rendition for individual samples. It is free.
In these tests I have used DCamProf. DCamProf takes the approach that it produces a colour correct conversion on which you can apply a "look". At this stage I don't think there is some tool for designing such a look with a What You See Is What You Get approach.
Bart has pointed out that Capture One Pro has an advanced colour editor, that allows you to make tweaks to a profile and save that as an ICC file. Just keep in mind that mixing with stuff can mix up stuff. Colour management is not trivial. I have some sample where colour profiles induce pretty bad artefacts, something like this:
| C1-default | Adobe STD |
 |  |
| Adobe DNG Profile Edior | DcamProf |
 |  |
In this case both the Adobe Standard profile and DCamprof generate smooth transitions, the Capture One conversion has some artefacts and the file created by the DNG Profile Editor has a lot of artefacts. This image comes from a P45+.
Best regards
Erik
In my field shots using P45+ and Sony A7rII it may be differences that simple profiles cannot handle. It is possible to tweak profiles a lot, of course.
Erik, how can you tweet profile? Is it possible? When I profiling my cameras with Xrite profiler and compare the picture with passport, I like to fine tune the profile a little bit sometimes but don't know how. Thanks
