EMBEDDED CAMERA COLOR PROFILES

Certain Konica Minolta digital cameras, such as the DiMAGE 7Hi, A1, and A2, can embed the cam- era’s color profile into the image data for color matching. The color mode on the camera determines the profile: sRGB, used with Natural and Vivid Color, or Adobe RGB. By setting the color space to either Original Color Space (sRGB) or Original Color Space (Adobe RGB) in the color preference window, the DiMAGE Viewer can determine the color space embedded in the image and adjust accordingly. If the color space is not embedded in the image, the color space must be set manually for both color spaces, see color matching on page 82.

NOTES ON COLOR MEASUREMENT

When opening a RAW image (p. 68), color information recorded on location with a Konica Minolta color meter can be used to set the white balance of the image. If the image is captured under a con- tinuous source like the sun or tungsten lighting, the corresponding measurement can be very effec- tive in balancing the color of the image. However, because the spectral response of the camera’s CCD and the color meter are not the same, if images are captured under lighting with a discontinu- ous line spectrum like fluorescent or mercury vapor, the values recorded with the color meter may not result in an accurate reproduction.
