D60; Latest (1.4) Linear and Non-Linear Actions

[virterm]

I just posted the latest version (1.4) of custom ICC profiles for Canon D60.
I also included basic Photoshop action to perform profiles assignment and conversion to wider working space.
Your comments will be appreciated.

VirTERM,

You asked for comments, so here are mine.

When I opened a D60 image in linear and then applied your 1.4 profile I noticed severe posterization in the very dark colours. Then when I used your action, which converted the profile to my working colour space of Adobe RGB, the posterization disappeared. I've never seen that before and this is a workflow I use a lot.

I find your profile does to D60 images what Fred's LC non linear profile does to D30 images. It reduces the often over saturated colours that you get when you just open images straight into Adobe RGB. I like how you have managed to produce a natural more subtle look to the overall colour balance. On only trying it on one of my images, I am not commenting on how well it reproduces accuracy of all colours. But what I see I like. Maybe you can comment on the posterizing?

Now it is your turn to comment on my comments.

David,
Which version are you using?
Have you tried 1.4?
I will be posting new version, including JPEG profiles soon.
Thanks,

Sorry about the delay.
Dave, could you please send me a RAW copy of the image that you are referring to?
I will be creating newer (more accurate) version of the profiles (incl. jpeg) over the weekend.
Stay tuned.
