Title: Hugin sRGB profile default
Post by: pco98 on April 12, 2011, 02:32:35 pm

Hello all

I've been using Hugin for batch processing panoramas but I see by default it applies an sRGB profile. Is there a way to apply ProPhoto or to simply not apply a profile. I don't want to bake in sRGB and not get the benefits of ProPhoto.

Thanks for any info or suggestions

Ross

Just to say, I'm too very interested by an answer... for the moment I still need a round trip in PS to apply the right profile again.

My worry was that by having an sRGB profile baked in then you can't go back to a wider colour gamut. Has that colour information not been lost and while you can still apply ProPhoto there is no longer any benefit?

Maybe somebody from the Hugin user group has a solution: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/hugin-ptx

Yes you can, as far as I can see Hugin just strips the profile from the original captures and replace it with sRGB.
It's just a matter of knowing the profile of the originals and reassigning it. Not a major bug, but a significant inconvenience.
