Hi, according to the manual, colour calibration is initialised from the Exif data of a raw file. “As shot in camera” is described to re-read the Exif data. This suggests the result being the same, which is actually not the case. Furthermore, changing directly from default to “custom”, the values are the same as “As shot in camera”.
I often prefer the colours with “As shot in camera” over the default settings. Is there a way, to have this applied by default without changing anything else?
What version of DT are you using??
I have developed styles to apply initial editing steps to my images and “as shot in camera” has been a part of this style. BTW, for my camera the result is a good match to the JPGs color.
Yes, it’s possible. Create an auto-applied preset. That’s what I did, for the same reason.
I just updated from 4.2.1 to 5.0.1 with the release of Debian Trixie, but I found the same with the current version in Fedora.
And I do so by opening an image not edited yet, select “as shot in camera” and save it as preset, right?
You could go to 5.21 if you want the latest version of DT… There is a further change to CC introduced recently and it now uses as shot WB for the early parts of the pipeline line demosaic and then it shifts to using CC for the CAT portion… this is the new default and the option selected by the icon furthest to the right in the CC module panel. You might want to see how that looks…
I think I did see what you mean thought…ie the if you open CC or reset the module this is a slightly different correction than if you use the drop down for as-shot in CC is that what you are seeing and referring to, ie you liked how it looks better when using as-shot for the illuminant…versus what the module reads when it initializes??
I’m not entirely sure I understood your post correctly.
In any case, Fedora has the latest version, which should have the default set to “as shot”. And yes, this looks better.
