hello fellow computer warriors,
what has always unnerved me is that I can't get my NEFs from D3 and D700 to look like the incamera generated JPGs.
I juggle the controls in LR ( HSL, calibration,curves, sharpness, whatever ) and have not succeeded in getting the same look.
now I know that NX does a better job at that, but it's just too slow and tedious, compared to LR.
now the rendering of the colourchecker chart with the last profiles for nikons, that michael and jeff have shown in their tutorials seems pretty impressive, but I would like to be able to open the NEF, go to the same JPG and by measuring that , or analyzing that in the profile editor get them to look alike and then have a profile that I can use for that same light.
is that at all poosible?
or do I have to get the colourchecker and profile my cameras?
I also realized that there are many factors, not only colour rendering , but contrast settings and curveshapes as well, so profiling alone will probably not do.
thanks for your help
stephan
