Up to a couple of weeks ago, I didn't bother to calibrate anything, as I was mainly interested in web-publishing and most of the people viewing my photos have uncalibrated screens and not all the browsers work properly with iCC profiles.<br>
Even when I began to create books on the Blurb site, colour rendering was OK (I create the books on my system with Scribus, then use the procedure provided by Blurb to upload the PDFs).<br><br>As I intend to go soon to fine art printing (via a labo), I decided to calibrate all my screens. And did it 2 weeks ago.<br>
But this has not changed anything on my camera.<br>You have to understand that an ICC profile only tells a device how to display the colours. Thus, I don't see any point to calibrate my camera, as I don't 'look' at my photos on it, except to check histogram and composition, but I don't need accurate colors to do that. And anyway, what you can see on your APN screen is the JPEG automatically created by the camera, and the RAW you'll post-treat will be something else entirely.<br>

Hallo,<br>
<br>
are you guys who do RAW development using calibrated work stations and color<br>
profiles. If so, how do you obtain the color profile for your camera. I am using<br>
a Canon 40D and have no clue on how to get the Canon color profile. Or is color<br>
profiling not important when working with RAW files?<br>
<br>
Thank you very much and a happy new year.<br>
