Hi,

When I open the Leica M8 raw .dng file, how come there is not Leica Color Profile?

Thanks in advance,

Nico

Unfortunately profiles for the M9 are not available yet.

However this is your best friend 😀 http://www.xritephoto.com/ph_product_overview.aspx?id=1257&tab=videos M9 profiles generated by the Colorchecker seem to be excellent, especially for "nasty" light sources such as low energy compact fluorescent lamps.

If you have one of the original Macbeth color checker cards then it's possible to generate profiles without having to spend money, see here: http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica...orum/102087-custom-dng-profile-lightroom.html and here http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica...44-ideal-camera-calibration-m9-lightroom.html

ETA: Ooops ... just realized you said M8 and not M9, the above links are relevant though. If you search in that forum for "M8 profiles" there is a lot of information.
