[Digikam-users] Color management behaviour

[Francisco Lorés Ara]

Hi,

I have also experimented with some profiles from Bibble. This software has 
profiles for a large nuber of brands and models. Some of them work quite well; 
in my case (Canon EOS 450D) the file canonc.icm is best suited with digiKam. 
(i wonder if this use of the profiles might create legal issues; if anyone 
have information, please let me know),  However, all these are "blind" tests 
as the profiles don't have inside the brand/model camera information. You'll 
need to trust your eyes :-)

As a general rule, it seems that the only way to obtain profiles is from 
manufacturer's or third parties software, and these will be at best 
approximate. "The" profile could only be obtained by means of a 
spectrocolorimeter...  :-( 

Best for everyone

Francisco

Any thoughts on how one might determine or obtain profiles
that are more suited.  I too have been using those supplied
by canon and am always looking for ways to improve my setup.

Many thanks,
