Found the answer to question 1 on page 36 of the manual:
"Auto-matched camera-specific profile
Uses RawTherapee's camera-specific DCP input profile that is more precise than a simpler matrix (and fall back to lesser powerful ICC profiles if no DCP is available). Available for some cameras, these profiles are stored in /dcpprofiles (or fallback /iccprofiles/input) directory and are automatically retrieved based on file name matching the exact model name of the camera."
Read first, ask later!

Hi Hening, the Daylight temperature & tint values you quoted are not set automatically within RT based on camera model, they are provided as a reference.
These values require use of a correct input camera profile, which as you noticed, is provided automatically for some camera models in DCP format. These profiles are measured to be very accurate.
For other camera models a simple DCRAW camera matrix is used instead.

If you are interested, there is an additional document on colorimetry in RT:

and recent document  on implementation and use of CIECAM02:

Thank you , Michael, for your answer and the links. I'll read the first one with great interest. (I don't speak French).

I did. The generic icons are replaced by real ones, but it still crashes when I double-click a thumbnail to open the image. Looking forward to the official Mac release in december.

I'm sorry to hear it crashed. Did you follow all of the install instructions?  There are some extra steps required beyond simply downloading the compilation and running it.

Hope this helps.

I just downloaded 4.0.9.5

The detail looks pretty good. This is a shot out of a stitch, 5km (as the crow flies) away with a Minolta 300G f4 on the Sony A55. 450mm effective. The shot is shrunk for bandwidth to 1/3rd
100% crop out of it follows

That is from Cypress Mountain lookout to Ambleside beach (West Vancouver) on a summer sunset so air currents are a bit of an issue.

The detail is decent.

Hi Kirk
Thank you for your concern.
Which are those instructions? I did not see any, beyond instruction to download and install a special version of X11 for MacOS 10.5, but I am on 10.6.8.
Maybe I can make it work anyway?
Hening.

Hi

I need to get back to the paragraph of the RT manual I quoted in post 337. I still have 2 questions:

1-What is meant by "auto-matched to your camera by Raw Therapee"? What is it that is done automatically? Does it mean that for some cameras, there are profiles measured to that precision, and these profiles are retrieved automatically; for other cameras, it is advised to enter these values in the creation of the profile? Or in the individual image?

2-The figures given are on a precision level down to 1 Kelvin for Temperature, 3 post-comma digits for Tint, e.g. for the Canon 5D 4993 K, 0.998.

"This will give you a technically color-accurate image where whites are white"

"Daylight" changes over a wide range (even if we exclude clouds and shadow). With that level of precision, the figure must refer to one very specific daylight - or? How is this defined?

Kind regards - Hening

Hi Hening,

1. If Auto-matching is selected, RawTherapee will try to the following , in this sequence:
 a. locate a DCP profile in /dcpprofiles or
 b. if DCP is not found, locate an ICC profile in /iccprofiles or
 c. if DCP and ICC are not found, revert to hard-coded camera matrix.

Matching is dome by camera name, exactly as is shown in the info sectinon in the editor. E.g. "Canon EOS 5D Mark III.dcp"

Camera matrix values are generally from dcraw, but in some cases have custom overrides based on measurements with ColorChecker24

2. Referenced WB values are for mid-day daylight. You are right, "daylight" is a very broad term... it varies with day time, season and geo location. If you need further info, I'd suggest to post this question in rawtherapee's own forum. DrSlony & Jacques might help.

didn't I just read that "oduis" is leaving (or left)... what happened, did he join the dark side (=decided that ACR/LR are good enough) ?

Yes, due to time constraints and also availability of "good enough" Lightroom, Olli will continue to provide Windows builds, but not code for the project.

I did. The generic icons are replaced by real ones, but it still crashes when I double-click a thumbnail to open the image. Looking forward to the official Mac release in december.
BTW
Reading the manual, I saw things I never saw before.
"ICC/DCP Specific Daylight White Balance Values
The daylight white balance temperature values used by your camera and commonly referred to in literature and on the internet are averages. The precise temperature and tint combination you should use for daylight photos is specific to the ICC or DCP input profile auto-matched to your camera by RawTherapee. This will give you a technically color-accurate image where whites are white, though aesthetically it may not be what you want."
For the Canon 5D, the values are given as temp 4994, tint 0998.
I have 2 questions:
1- "The precise temperature and tint combination you should use for daylight photos is specific to the ICC or DCP input profile auto-matched to your camera by RawTherapee"
Does this mean that RT enters these values automatically, or that I shall enter them manually? (If and when I get the Mac version up and running, or grit my teeth and use Windows)?
2-What would the values be for the Canon 5D2?
Curious - Hening

I had the crash for a while, it made me go back to the last "stable" release 3.something. Recently I tried again with 4.0.9.50 x64. It is working well.

I also figured out my old color problems, no doubt user error without setting my camera , camera auto WhiBal, Auto levels, in a default profile loaded in preferences.

Now the color is wonderful. I was pleased enough that I bought a bottle of good bourbon to celebrate. I usually only buy liquor < 5 times per year.
The detail was always wonderful.

This is me.  ;D

How Awesome is it?

This is a shot out of a pano that had my auto WhiBal totally lost. Something that almost never happens.

This is it fixed with spot WhiBal and Lab adjustments.

This is an old shot of Bart's Siemen's Star resolution test. I thought I would re-render it with the new RT 4.0.10.0

SHARPENING IS OFF.
The view is 200%
The red circle is the Nyquist limit 92 (x2 for 200%)
The shot was in autoISO at 1250 Sony A55 with 100 Macro

The second shot is the same with R/L deconvolution on.

Contrast by detail is set at contrast+ for all 3 shots which is 1.2 for the finest,then 1.15,1,1,1.05 for the coarsest. This gives a small bump to resolution at the expense of a perfect sine wave on the chart.

Now that Raw Therapy has come to the Mac, I'd like to check it. I looked for an option to output a TIF with zero color management for creating a custom camera profile, but could not find one. Did I overlook it?

It is in tab "Color", section "Color Management".
Press on the Button "Save reference image for profiling".
BTW, the 4.0.11 version should be out in a few days.

Just heads up, I've made a Faded Pack of processing profiles for RawTherapee:
More info and download link: http://code.google.com/p/rawtherapee/issues/detail?id=1738#c41
These profiles will be provided in the next RawTherapee version.
