Hi,
Probably yes.
Keep in mind a raw file has no colour, it has normally four monochrome channels, these are either clipped or not. An image that contains clipped data is overexposed.
So, with a correctly exposed image we have four unclipped channels that are just numbers.
The colour is carried in the colour profile, at least as long as you use the Adobe processing pipeline. The profile contains the recipe for calculating colour. So, as long you work with raw files all the colour info is generated in the raw processor.
So talking about saturated or clipped
colour in the raw file is pure nonsense. The colour profile can generate saturated colour channels.
A test I made illustrates this:
| Lightroom | Capture One |
P45+ | | |
Sony Alpha 99 | | |
The samples below are based on spectrometer readings of the petals:
What I think the examples show in this case is my Phase One P45+ back renders similar to my Sony Alpha 99 when using Lightroom, but colours in Capture One are rendered differently.
Just to say, bluish purple is a difficult colour to render. In this case Adobe's pipeline handles it better than Capture Ones.
Best regards
Erik
Bart,
What you are suggesting is that the more "vivid" style of Fuji, if it exists, can be entirely removed by a custom profile? And that, with a profile, I could back off the saturation (or whatever) and attain the less vivid Hasselblad style?
