Color balance question

[Aleph (Luis)]

@Morgan_Hardwood

this is likely a result of DPP using a tone curve + a color mapping which gives a certain “look”. You can manually do the same in RawTherapee, then save the settings as a default PP3 for raw files.

Yes I did, I have a .pp3 with the hue reds a bit more up in the Lab mode.

@Morgan_Hardwood

RawTherapee first checks for a DCP input profile when opening a raw. If none exists, it looks for an ICC profile. If that does not exist, it uses hard-coded values from dcraw. As RawTherapee ships both an ICC and DCP input profile for the Canon EOS 5D, it will use the DCP by default. You could select the ICC manually https://i.imgur.com/c3R6Luh.png though it looks almost identical to the DCP.

Well, thanks, now it’s more clear for me.

(e.g. using the Vibrance - Skin Colors tool

Yes I used this tool sometimes.

@Morgan_Hardwood

Do you have a color target like the X-Rite ColorChecker Passport? If so, if you shot it under daylight and tungsten light I could improve the DCP.

Unfortunately I have not a color target.

Thank you very much Morgan!
